According to US Weekly, on June 5, before her sentencing was announced, Victoria Goodwin reportedly apologised to her family and Aaron Goodwin.

“Firstly, and most importantly, I would like to apologize to Aaron. I’m so immensely sorry for the pain and anxiety I’ve caused you and the betrayal you undoubtedly and rightfully feel by my actions.”

She further added,

“I genuinely pray you find your joy and peace again. And I will bow out of your life forever to hopefully ease that process (...) My absolute promise to you is that you will never see or hear from me. I intend to leave the state of Nevada, and you and anyone else will never be in danger of me ever again.”

Aaron Goodwin is a 49-year-old TV Personality who hosts the American paranormal and reality television series Ghost Adventures. Aaron was married to his now ex-wife, Victoria Goodwin, for about three years, but applied for divorce after Victoria was arrested for a murder-for-hire plot against him.

According to 8NewsNow, on Thursday, a Clark County Judge sentenced Victoria to prison time for conspiracy to murder. According to multiple reports, she will serve between 36 and 90 months in a state penitentiary.

According to US Weekly, in his victim impact statement before the sentencing, Aaron Goodwin shared that,

“Whether she got minimum or maximum time, I still won’t feel safe whenever she’s released. I feel like this deserves prison time, I don’t know. So I just leave it in your hands, your honor.”
