Jason Cott sentenced to ‘Hard 50’ for killing wife and unborn child

Jason Cott cut a deal: the state of Kansas won’t kill him, but he’ll spend the next 50 years in prison without the chance of parole for strangling to death his pregnant wife, Angela Cott.

In January, the 30-year-old choked his 29-year-old pregnant wife to death inside a room at the

Lenexa Knights Inn and then dumped her half-clothed body on the side of U.S.

Highway 69 near Louisburg in Miami County on January 20, ensuring that he’d be caught.
