52-year-old Larry Steeples is headed to prison.
Earlier today a judge sentenced Steeples to natural life in prison.
Attorneys immediately filed motion to reconsider that sentence and a hearing on that matter was scheduled for next Friday.
Steeples was found guilty of murdering former girlfriend Gina Giberson in April 2014.
A fitness hearing was held in March and determined even though he was mentally ill he was fit to stand trial.
Authorities say Steeples and Giberson once dated.
