WARREN — The man accused of murdering his wife outside their Niles home was sentenced today to life in prison with the chance of parole after 28 years.

Daniel Leet, 30, of Difford Drive, withdrew his plea of insanity at the Trumbull County Common Pleas Court today to plead guilty to an aggravated murder charge and waived a trial by jury.

Judge Andrew Logan sentenced Leet to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years. The judge tacked on an additional three years for using a weapon.

On Nov. 24, 2007, Leet shot and killed his 29-year-old wife, Angela Leet, in the driveway of their Difford Drive home using a 12-gauge shotgun.
