A Hardin County man convicted in the shooting death of his wife received his sentence Tuesday.
Jordan Henning of Rineyville will serve 20 years in prison on the charge of First Degree Manslaughter. The jury that convicted Henning in March recommended that sentence, which was confirmed at the May 6 sentencing hearing.
Hardin Circuit Judge Larry Ashlock said he was adopting the jury’s recommendation of the maximum sentence based on the “violent nature of the offense.” Ashlock noted the impact the home surveillance video that captured the shooting had on him personally. The judge also said the impact of the shooting on the couple’s three children, all of who were in the home when the shooting occured, played a part in the sentencing.
Henning was arrested in June 2023 after he shot his wife, 37-year-old Ashley Henning, five times following a birthday party at their home. Both Jordan and Ashley Henning were active duty service members stationed at Fort Knox at the time of the shooting.
