Father confronts son's killer in emotional court sentencing

In Colfax, Washington, Troy Wilson spoke emotionally in court on Monday as he confronted Jacob Spray, who killed his daughter, Jamie Wilson-Spray. Wilson's voice rose with anger and pain as he told Spray, "I trusted you. I loved you." This was during Spray's sentencing, where he received the maximum penalty of 26 years in prison for the first-degree murder of Wilson-Spray, who was 25 years old. Jamie was about to graduate with a master's degree and wanted to be a chef. Her family described her as talented and full of life. They shared stories of her laughter and joy, emphasizing how much she loved her nieces and nephews. Jamie had just filed for divorce from Spray, who had been controlling and abusive, often tracking her movements. On March 26, Jamie was on a job interview call when Spray attacked her in her home. Witnesses described the horrific details of the assault, which ended in her murder. Jamie's sister, Ashley, spoke about the trauma their family endured, and her grandmother expressed disbelief that a person meant to love Jamie could commit such violence. During sentencing, Spray apologized but showed little remorse, which disappointed the judge. Family members shared how Jamie's death has forever altered their lives, affecting even the young children in the family. One niece expressed deep anger towards Spray, while her brother struggled to understand the loss. The family's pain has been profound, as they navigate life without Jamie. They expressed their belief that dangers can come from those closest to us, making it hard for them to feel safe.
