MARSHFIELD, WI (WTAQ) - A Marshfield man was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday, for murdering the mother of his child 14 months ago.

Wood County Circuit Judge Todd Wolf gave 22-year-old Gabriel Campos the chance to be released under extended supervision in 40 years when he turns 62.

Campos slit the throat of 18-year-old Maisie McCullough in September of 2012, at the Marshfield home they used to share before they broke up. Campos turned himself in with the couple's son, who's now 3, a day after the slaying in Wisconsin Rapids where they had stayed at a motel.

He struck a plea deal earlier this year. Campos dropped the possibility of an insanity plea, and he pleaded guilty to first-degree intentional homicide. In exchange, prosecutors dropped a second charge of soliciting a homicide, for paying a jail inmate to kill the woman's final lover.

Campos reportedly offered the prisoner $4,600, a car, and an assault rifle to kill a 24-year-old Junction City man. The inmate later told sheriff's deputies about the offer.
