Dale Holloway, who wounded a bishop and bride during a 2019 wedding, will serve his sentence consecutively with a current term for assaulting his lawyer.
- Dale Holloway, 41, was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for opening fire at a New Hampshire church during a wedding, wounding Bishop Stanley Choate and bride Claire McMullen.
- Holloway, who represented himself at trial, argued he was mentally unstable during the October 2019 shooting, but the jury rejected an insanity defense.
