On Friday, Redlick was sentenced to one year of probation, with the judge giving her credit for time served.

During the murder trial, Redlick said she stabbed her husband in self-defense in 2019.

State prosecutors, though, argued Redlick waited 11 hours to call 911 and said she used the time to clean the scene.
