Cape man gets 7 years for domestic assault

Circuit Judge Benjamin Lewis on Monday sentenced Steel W. Moyers, 31, of Cape Girardeau to seven years in the Missouri Department of Corrections.

Moyers pleaded guilty to second-degree domestic assault Feb. 22. He was accused of choking his wife and threatening to kill her with a butcher knife Nov. 8. Moyers' lawyer, Brandon Cooper, said Moyers' wife submitted a statement declaring Moyers never threatened to kill her -- a detail that differed from the sentencing assessment given to Lewis.
