Campbell County court officials have released video of convicted killer Cheryl McCafferty's testimony.

Earlier this week, a jury convicted McCafferty of manslaughter.

She shot her husband Robert McCafferty in their home in Fort Thomas in June of 2007.

On the stand, McCafferty described events leading up to the night of the shooting.

That night, she says her husband woke her up and put a gun to her mouth.

"He kept screaming, 'Why'd you have to tell, why'd you have to tell? Everything was so perfect, why are you getting a divorce?' And I'm looking at him and it wasn't him," said Cheryl McCafferty as she testified. "I've been with this man for 27 years. This was not him."

Earlier this week, a judge sentenced McCafferty to 18 years in prison, but she could be up for parole in a little more than three years.
