A former Gaffney doctor who killed his wife twenty years ago will not be released from prison.
This morning the state parole board denied parole for 67-year old Nathan Lipscomb.
In 1988 Lipscomb was sentenced to life in prison for beating his wife to death and then staging a car crash to make it look like she had died in an accident.
The case drew mass attention because Lipscomb was a well-respected optometrist in Gaffney.
His father was the mayor and his mother served on city council.
The parole board denied him parole because of the seriousness of the offense and this was his first chance at parole.
