A self proclaimed witch was given the maximum sentence for stabbing a man to death as part of a Wiccan ritual.

Angela Sanford was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Friday for her connection to the death of Joel Leyva back in March 2010.

Sanford, 31, said she was afraid Leyva, 52, would rape her so she convinced him to have sex with her and then she later stabbed him in the head, neck and stomach a total of 13 times.

Leyva’s family was unsatisfied with the sentence.

“The minimum there isn’t, nothing, nothing else,” Matt Leyva said.
