Jace, 53, received a credit of 754 days served for his time spent imprisoned since his arrest for the May 2014 killing, Los Angeles criminal court clerk Melody Ramirez said.
Ramirez said family members of the victim, April Jace, gave emotional statements in court on Friday, though she could not provide transcripts.
The actor was upset that his wife wanted a divorce when he shot her once in the back and twice more in the legs, according to prosecutors.
He then called authorities and reported that he had shot his wife, prosecutors said. The couple’s sons, ages 8 and 5 at the time, watched the killing in the family’s South Los Angeles home, prosecutors said. She was 40 years old when she was slain.
Jace’s attorneys acknowledged in court that he shot his wife, arguing instead that the shooting was not premeditated. Jace was convicted of second-degree murder, an intentional killing that was not premeditated, in May.
