(AP) -- A suburban New York computer programmer has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for strangling his wife.
Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore announced the sentence Tuesday for Christopher Howson.
He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in May for killing Theresa Gorski in their Sleepy Hollow home.
She was a part time staff attorney for the Bronx Legal Aid Society.
Howson called 911 on Jan. 5, 2013, and said he had just strangled his wife.
She was on a ventilator for four days before she died.
Authorities have said the couple's daughters were home when the killing occurred. They were 5 and 8 at the time.
