By Nicole Walton

Manistique, MI – A man convicted of pushing his wife off a cliff to her death at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore has been sentenced. Thomas Richardson of downstate McBain was convicted April 17 of First Degree Murder in the death of his wife, Juanita, in a June 2006 incident. Judge William Carmody sentenced Richardson Monday morning to life in prison without parole in Schoolcraft County Circuit Court.

Richardson's attorney says he will appeal.
