VISTA, Calif.—A woman who fatally shot her husband at their Carlsbad home over a decade ago was re-sentenced March 9 to 40 years to life in state prison.

Julie Harper, 49, was convicted of second-degree murder and a gun-use allegation for the 2012 slaying of her husband, Jason Harper, 39. She was convicted in a 2015 retrial after a prior jury acquitted her of first-degree murder and deadlocked on a second-degree murder count.
