Tom Culp then turned the gun on himself, but he survived and apologized in court before being sentenced to 7 years.
Connie's sisters were horrified, they told a southern Ohio TV station that Tom Culp got off easy.
"She's got a life sentence, she did nothing wrong and he gets seven if seven."
"He don't care what he did, he wanted her dead or he wouldn't have pulled the trigger."
We don't know how Connie Culp feels about her husband now, but during his trial she forgave him.
"It's easy for them to sit back and say he took your beauty, well you know what, that isn't why. Tom loved me."
Connie went on to say she had lived with Tom Culp for 25 years, she said he was a good man and she believed he didn't mean to shoot her.
For years, the couple ran a painting and contracting business together.
But now Connie was beginning a recovery process that included 30 surgeries and then finally the face transplant.
But the day her husband was sentenced Connie looked forward to the day he was released.
