Wesley Earnest to appear on CBS' "48 Hours Mystery"

A Bedford County murder case will be in the national spotlight

A former assistant principal convicted of killing his wife is talking in his first and only on-camera interview for CBS' 48 Hours Mystery.

Wesley Earnest says he and his wife Jocelyn had a great marriage, but then the romance disappeared.
On December 20th, it'll be four years since Jocelyn was found dead in her home, shot in the head with a note nearby making it look like a suicide.

But a jury never bought that she killed herself.

Her husband is now serving a life sentence.
