Bride Gets 10 Years for Pushing Husband Off Cliff

This case was covered breathlessly on HLN for weeks. I guess today was the sentencing:

Bride Gets 10 Years for Pushing Husband Off Cliff – TIME

(MISSOULA, Mont.) — A Montana newlywed who pleaded guilty to charges she pushed her Husband to his death in Glacier National Park has been sentenced to 10 Years in prison.
U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy sentenced 22-year-old Jordan Graham of Kalispell on Thursday. She had faced a maximum sentence of life in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.
Prosecutors alleged Graham was having second thoughts about her 8-day-old marriage to 25-year-old Cody Johnson when she lured him to a steep Cliff in Glacier National Park on July 7 and pushed him over.
Graham insisted it was accidental but changed her plea to guilty in the midst of a jury trial.
Prosecutors charged she planned the killing then lied to cover it up.

HILL COUNTY — It’s a jaw-dropping cliffhanger that may be resolved Friday, weather permitting.

"Like any cliffhanger, I guess we’re all watching and waiting, you know," said neighbor Connie Ash.
A home dangerously dangling on the edge of a Cliff in a Lake Whitney subdivision will be set on fire Friday at 10 a.m., according to Tom Hemrick, the emergency management coordinator for Hill County.
Hemrick said the White Bluff Fire Department will be on scene to make sure surrounding homes are protected. According to Hemrick, the company in charge of the demolition is the same as the one that was in charge of the Texas Stadium implosion.
Hemrick said the fire will start in the attic; the hope is then the house burns inwards.
Earlier Thursday, officials looked into whether the home could be pulled back by cables onto stable ground; it turned out not to be a viable option.

Appraised at more than $700,000, the home was built in 2024 and was bought by the current homeowners in 2024.
According to homeowner Rob ***b, who is now in Florida dealing with a personal issue, the home was inspected before it was purchased.
"It’s like, ‘Is that really my home? Or is that something else that you’re watching on TV.’ And then you’re like, "Good grief, that is my home,’" ***b said. "Yeah, it’s a trying time, certainly."
***b also said he and his wife purchased home insurance, but they just found out it doesn’t cover earth movement. It is unclear how much the demolition will cost, but ***b is picking up the bill.
The homeowner said he spent his retirement savings on the home and is devastated.
The Hill County Sheriff’s Office will be providing security around the fire, and local fire departments will stand watch to ensure everything goes safely.
But crews are racing against the clock. Rainy weather Thursday night threatens to cause the land to give way more than it already has.

In a statement, Cave and Bick confirmed their son’s death, "Our son Arthur died on Tuesday evening. He was our beautiful, happy, loving boy. We ask that we be given the privacy our family needs to grieve at this difficult time." Investigators said that Cave’s death is not being treated as suspicious.

Nick Cave’s Dream Life: Behind His Bizarro ********ary » According to The Guardian, Arthur Cave was found with mortal injuries after falling 60 feet off the chalk cliff. "A 15-year-old boy who was found with life-threatening injuries on the underpass of Ovingdean Gap, having fallen from the cliff above, has sadly died in hospital on Tuesday," a spokesperson for the Sussex police said. "Members of the public carried out first aid on the boy before he was taken to the Royal Sussex county hospital, Brighton, just after 6 p.m. He later died there of his injuries. The death is being dealt with by the coroner’s officer."
Arthur and his twin brother Earl Cave both appeared in 20,000 Days on Earth, a quasi-********ary that follows the Bad Seeds singer over the course of a day. The semi-fictional film mixes "both fact and fiction," Cave told Rolling Stone.
"It’s not like playing a character," Cave said of playing "himself" in the movie. "That’s a thread through the film – any idea that there is a character and a real person no longer applies. After years of performing, the mask calcifies under the face."
