The 54-year-old was sentenced in Colorado after prosecutors said he fatally stabbed Abghari, 54, in her Colorado Springs home on 7 August 2024.
Authorities said Wilson skipped sentencing, forcing a judge to order he be brought in by any means necessary, and later showed little remorse during the hearing.
Prosecutors said a burglary turned deadly after Wilson entered through an open garage, struggled with Abghari, stole her car and fled before extradition from another state.
Released with 14 prior felonies, he killed days later. How did the justice system fail to prevent this tragedy?
