A Clark County Superior Court judge on Friday reminded Todd Marjama Jr. that he had told detectives he would never do anything to take the mother of his children away.

“But you did exactly that,” Judge Gregory Gonzales told Marjama, before handing down a 16 1/2 -year prison sentence.

Marjama, 29, was convicted last month of first-degree manslaughter in the June 2016 fatal shooting of his wife, Amanda Marjama, at their home in Five Corners. He was originally charged with first-degree murder, but the jury was unable to reach a verdict on that charge.

Todd Marjama and his defense attorneys argued that he was attempting to decock a handgun when it discharged — the bullet piercing through the man’s hand and a closed bathroom door before striking his wife in the head.

His attorneys argued he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder on the day of the shooting, despite Marjama repeatedly denying that to investigators and during his testimony at trial.
