A judge has handed down a life prison sentence and over $15 million in penalties to a wealthy dentist convicted of killing his wife at the end of an African safari in Zambia.
DENVER — A judge has handed down a sentence of life in prison and over $15 million in penalties to a wealthy dentist convicted of killing his wife at the end of an African safari.
Larry Rudolph, who wore a brown t-shirt and khaki pants and no handcuffs during the hearing, has claimed throughout the case that his wife's death in the southern African nation in 2016 was an accident. His lawyers plan to appeal the conviction. They also claim the setting, about 80 miles from the nearest police station, was the perfect place to try to get away with the crime, where he rushed to have his wife cremated and intimidated officials investigating her death.
It is unclear if any family members or friends of Bianca Rudolph will confront the dentist during the hearing. Prosecutors allege Rudolph built his wealth on fraud. They say he shot off his thumb during a previous visit to Zambia to collect millions in disability insurance money; they also allege he cheated his dental patients, creating the need for root canals by not doing fillings or drilling holes in their teeth while they were asleep.
