St. Paul Man Sentenced for Wife's Murder

Robert Castillo was sentenced to 33 years in prison after pleading guilty to the second-degree murder of his wife, Corrina Woodhull, during a Bible study in St. Paul. The incident occurred on March 21, 2023, when witnesses reported Castillo whispering to Woodhull before stabbing her over 20 times with a hunting knife. Despite his attorneys arguing for a reduced sentence based on Castillo's traumatic childhood and drug-induced state during the attack, the judge found no evidence that he lacked understanding of his actions. Castillo, who had a violent criminal history, expressed remorse in court, stating he hoped for forgiveness from Woodhull's family. Woodhull was a devoted mother of five who had previously overcome her own struggles with addiction. Castillo will serve approximately 21⅓ years in prison, with the remainder of his sentence on supervised release.
