Dad MARSHALL DOUD is still claiming amnesia as to what happened when his wife died (it appears he suffocated her to death). But his kids remember all too clearly being awakened by Mom's screams, and having Dad tell them that Mom had had a nightmare and that "everything was OK." I'm thinking this guy is just playing with our heads. You don't "remember" what happened? My @$$. Guess the judge felt the same way, as Dad has been sentenced to 25 years to life.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -- A Santa Cruz man who claimed he lost his memory around the time his wife was murdered has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for her death.
Forty-four-year-old Marshall Doud maintained before his sentencing Friday that he could not remember what happened when his wife died. But he added he was sorry for whatever he may have done and always loved her.
A jury this summer convicted Doud of first-degree murder in the suffocation death of his wife, 42-year-old Morgana, in September 2007.
Two of the couple's children testified that they awoke to the sound of their mother screaming and were told by their father that she had experienced a nightmare and everything was OK.
Doud's attorney says he plans to appeal the case.
