FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ill. – A judge recently sentenced one southern Illinois man for stabbing his wife in a “jealous rage,”
During the stabbing, investigators say a witness tried to stop the attack and called 911. Wakefield’s wife was treated at a hospital for nine days and suffered severe injuries to her body and neck.
A jury convicted Wakefield in March 2023 on charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated domestic battery and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
