SANTA ANA, Calif. – A fertility doctor was convicted of second-degree murder for the strangulation death of his wife.
According to the DA’s office, Sills tried to stage his wife’s murder by making it look like she fell down the stairs.
“It took calculated planning to commit this crime and worse of all he ruthlessly and selfishly murdered the mother of their children who now are left without their parents,” said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer.
