Timothy “Tim” W. Bliefnick, a former Family Feud contestant who infamously joked about regretting marriage while appearing on the game show, was handed three life sentences in prison in an Illinois courtroom Friday for the murder of his wife, Rebecca.
According to local news station KHQA, two of Bliefnick’s life sentences stem from two counts of first-degree murder, while the third life sentence is for his conviction of home invasion. Because he was sentenced with “natural life” in prison, there will be no opportunity for parole, credit for time served, or possibility of release.
In a video from the courtroom Friday, Judge Robert Adrian can be heard telling Bliefnick, “You researched this murder. You planned this murder. You practiced this murder. You broke into her house and you shot her 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 times. I don’t know how long it took you to do that. Some of those shots were fired while she was lying on the ground, and you did all of that while your children were upstairs at your house, lying snug in their beds.”
Bliefnick declined to make a statement at the sentencing.
