Drew Garnier was sentenced for the murder of his pregnant wife, Samantha Garnier, and the assault of their two daughters. Motivated by a desire for a son, he fatally stabbed Samantha while she was five months pregnant. Following his guilty plea and sentencing, the court issued stay-away orders from his daughters. The children's grandfather expressed hope to protect them from further trauma. Judge Hubbard emphasized the severity of the crime, stating the girls deserved protection from their father.
He had wanted a boy, said Samantha Garnier's father.
I am their father now. I will protect them, said Samantha Garnier's father.
You took a life and injured your children. They had a right to expect protection from you, Judge Hubbard said.
Under his plea agreement, Drew Garnier was sentenced to 30 years in prison, followed by 15 years of probation.
