Labion LaRoda stabbed his wife Tiffany at least 20 times, killing her. LaRoda pled guilty to the manslaughter.
Her sister, Shavonne Munnings, said: “I sat through the trial and the accused admitted and described in detail what he did as part of the plea bargain to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
"I do not agree with this plea bargaining thing and I also believe that the 15-year sentence was not sufficient because he took a mother away from her four children."
Ms Munnings said she believes LaRoda should have been sentenced to at least 35 years for his crime.
Rev Glenroy Bethel, founder of a group known as Families for Justice or FFJ, said the victim’s family would appeal the decision.
