Posted: Updated:
TOLEDO, Ohio -

She's only 20 years old, but Jenelle McGuire of Oregon will serve life in prison for the stabbing death of her husband Devin McGuire.

She entered an Alford plea in Devin McGuire's death. That means she does not admit to the crime, but agrees there's enough evidence for a conviction.

Devin's body was found in a ditch with 22 stab wounds in August of 2011.

In January, a judge sentenced Shawn Brazeal to 15 years for his role in the killing.

Around the time Devin McGuire's body was discovered Jenelle McGuire's Facebook profile showed pictures of Shawn Brazeal with the caption "my love" underneath.

 The pictures were posted on august 29th, after her husband, Devin McGuire  was killed. On August 27, around the time of her husband's death, a status update reads "loving life && for once in my life im HAPPY c: ♥ i luv yuh babe."

She comments, "im getting a divorce and the guy im with is amazinig and makes me smile :)."
