A Minnesota man gets 33 years for fatally stabbing his wife during Bible study

A Minnesota man was sentenced to more than 33 years in prison for stabbing his wife to death during a Bible study session.

Robert Castillo, 41, who pleaded guilty in March to second-degree murder, apologized in court Friday for killing his wife, Corinna Woodhull, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. They had been married about two years and have five children, who are now ages 11 to 24.

Castillo’s sister told police she hosted a weekly Bible study at her St. Paul home. On the night of March 21, 2023, the couple was sitting on a couch when Castillo whispered something in Woodhull’s ear. After she shook her head “no,” Castillo pulled out a hunting knife and stabbed her multiple times, until his own family disarmed him.

Has anything good ever resulted from Bible study?

I got laid once.

looking back… its probably a good thing that we used protection.

Just a quick safety PSA, bibles are only good for protecting against Judeo-Christian demons. I always recommend keeping an oonusa for yokai, a copy of Bhagavata Purana for preths, etc

Naw. I’ve yet to meet a demon that can withstand the power of disbelief. that’s why I keep a copy of A Brief history of Time

My dad, who was only vaguely theistic but had a very good knowledge of the old (and new) testament used to go to Torah study and argue with the Rabbi whenever a point of contention came up.

It resulted in good entertainment for my mother.

I would watch at least an hour of this on YouTube

I would too. I only heard about it. He was a professor, so he knew how to argue.

sounds like a fun time.

I love a good debate. (like. not an angry debate, but a seriously good discussion.)

It would definitely not have been angry. They liked each other. The Rabbi came over for dinner all the time and stuff. It was weird, his religion was only vague deism and my mother is an atheist but they both got super involved in the temple in their old age, long after I had moved away. My father is no longer with us, but my mother still goes every week. She was even president of the temple for a while. But if you asked her, she would say, “I don’t believe in any of it.”

I definitely get it. There’s a distinct lack of 3rd spaces, which is necessary for finding community.

also, wasn’t saying it was angry, just… saying I love a good discussion. I totally get that. Props to the rabbi, too,

I didn’t think you were, no worries.

Besides not kink shaming for beastality and taking large loads, bukkake maybe(?), no.

Not a very constructive way to resolve theological disputes.

darkmarx ,

Historically, this is exactly how theological disputes were handled. See Crusades on Wikipedia for more information.

Diplomjodler3 ,

I know. It wasn’t constructive then either.

RamblingPanda ,

I think what you should take from religious texts is “don’t be an asshole”. Everything else should build on that.

And I don’t need religion to not be an asshole.

Diplomjodler3 ,

Then again, I’d be reluctant to take morality lessons from someone who threatens to eternally torture me.

They must have been studying the Old Testament.

The judge sentenced him to 33 1/3 years. In Minnesota, defendants typically serve two-thirds of their sentence in prison and the rest on supervised release.

Castillo had eight prior felony convictions, including second-degree assault for beating another woman with a hammer in 2014. At the time of the knife attack, Castillo was on intensive supervised release and had a warrant out for his arrest after he failed to show up at a court hearing on charges that he assaulted two correctional officers at the Stillwater state prison in 2020.

Fingers crossed this worthless piece of shit dies in prison, but it doesn’t seem likely if he’ll only serve about 22 years. I’m usually pretty heavy on rehabilitation, but this one seems too far-gone. Hopefully they can at least get him a ton of psychiatric help and counseling before he’s released on the slim chance he can change.
