DELRAN, N.J. (WPVI) -- A judge has sentenced a New Jersey man to 27 years in prison for fatally stabbing his wife while she was driving.

Thirty-eight-year-old Quentin Fortune pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter in the death of his 54-year-old wife, Cynthia.

Under terms of a plea agreement, he must serve 85 percent of the sentence before he'll be eligible for parole.
