A Florida man who walked into a jewelry store, pulled a revolver out of his pocket and shot the store owner — killing him — will spend the rest of his life in prison.

John Craiger, 83, learned his fate on Tuesday in the death of Ghazi Osta, 68. Craiger’s sentence came a day after he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.

“It’s been over three months of living with an unimaginable nightmare. So much pain, so much pain,” the victim’s wife said during the sentencing hearing, local CBS affiliate WKMG reported. “This has all been very difficult.”
