Dentist Sentenced to Life for Wife’s Murder After African Safari

In a dramatic conclusion to a high-profile case, wealthy dentist Larry Rudolph has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife, Bianca Rudolph, during an African safari in Zambia. The court also imposed penalties totaling over $15 million, as prosecutors alleged that the murder was the culmination of a life marked by a pursuit of dominance through wealth and power. Last year, Rudolph was found guilty of mail fraud for cashing in nearly $5 million in insurance policies for his wife. He claimed her death was an accident, but evidence presented in court suggested otherwise.
