Williamson County Man Sentenced to 50 Years
Friday, Schauf's wife Tina Pickens spoke out against the sentence.
Schauf was found guilty of aggravated battery with a firearm in September.
Authorities say that on September 29th of last year Schauf was arguing with his wife when he shot her and a Marion police officer who responded to the scene.
Pickens has been married to Schauf for two years. She says she's standing by her husband.
"My husband is a good man, he's a loving man, I never had an incident with him before all this, he would do anything he could for anybody, everybody in the neighborhood depended on him and called on him, he was a friend to everyone" says Pickens.
Pickens says her husband did not receive a fair trial.
The defense filed for a new trial but that motion was denied.
