A Lynn Haven man scheduled for trial Wednesday on a count of second-degree murder for his wife’s slaying in 2012 pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 35 years in prison Tuesday.
Gary Wesley Tennyson, 37, was expected to plead not guilty by reason of insanity during a bench trial scheduled to begin Wednesday. He was arrested in May 2012 after police found 28-year-old Glenda Tennyson’s body in a shed behind the couple’s home.
Gary Tennyson had been using meth and behaving erratically in the time before Glenda Tennyson was killed. She was pregnant with twins when she died.
