TUCSON, Ariz. — A judge ruled Monday that the man who shot and killed University of Arizona Atmospheric Sciences Professor Thomas Meixner will go to prison for the rest of his life. Right after the sentencing, Dr. Meixner’s wife Kathleen was gracious enough to sit down for an interview with KGUN 9’s Craig Smith.
“The day that we lost Tom is completely unbelievable and surreal." Kathleen Meixner paused several times as she said, “The day that we lost Tom is completely unbelievable and surreal. To sit in Banner Hospital with my two boys and hear that there was nothing that could be done to repair Tom's beautiful heart, and that he was gone.”
At trial, Mrs. Meixner, her family, and a large group of friends endured hard testimony on how Dervish chased down Tom Meixner and shot him nine times.
