An
ex-NYPD officer admitted to viciously gunning down his wife in front of their
two young children because he thought she was having an affair.
Kevin
Canty, 44, pleaded guilty Tuesday to hitting his wife Jessica, 40, with seven
bullets as their 6 and 9-year-old children watched in horror inside their Ozone
Park home.
"My
nephew saw everything. ... I'm just glad he doesn't have to go through anything
he already went through the grand jury. No child should have to go through
this," said Jessica's sister Lisa Caccavale outside of Queens Supreme
Court.
The
children are both in therapy.
Canty
dodged a life sentence when he coped a plea to first-degree manslaughter. He's
expected to get sentenced to 25 years in prison by Queens Supreme Court Justice
Kenneth C. Holder on January 6.
Canty,
who retired from the NYPD in 2013, called his wife a "whore" and told
authorities he was sorry for what he did shortly after he was arrested,
prosecutors said.
The
couple were together since they were teenagers and have a 20-year-old daughter
as well as the two kids who witnessed the tragedy.
