The man convicted of killing his wife more than eight years ago in Brown County is sentenced today to life in prison.
A jury found 75-year-old James Prokopovitz guilty of first-degree intentional homicide and perjury in the death of Victoria Prokopovitz in late February. Prokopovitz was the last person known to have seen his wife in their Pittsfield home in April of 2013.
Prosecutors say James disposed of her body in a sludge pond he had access to as part of his job loading paper waste onto trucks for a landfill. Her body was never found.
