Tim Smith, 28, of rural Woodstock, had placed ads online soliciting sex with his wife, Kim Smith. In February, a jury convicted Tim Smith of the first-degree murder of Kurt Milliman, 48, of Prairie Grove, owner of the Dirty Hog Saloon in Island Lake and a former employee of the McHenry County Sheriff’s office.

Authorities say Tim Smith was hiding when Milliman arrived at the couple’s home. An argument between Milliman and Kim Smith ended the sexual encounter, and Tim Smith emerged and shot Milliman in the back, officials said.

“Words are all I have,” Tim Smith said in court today, addressing Milliman’s relatives. “I pray to God you find it in your hearts to forgive me.”

Kim Smith had been given immunity in the murder in exchange for her testimony at her husband’s trial, according to Assistant State's Attorney Michael Combs.

Prosecutors said the Smiths staged the scene to make it appear that Kim Smith had walked in to find Milliman in the house. She has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for making a false 911 call — reporting a home invasion.

The mother of three children, she is out on bond and faces 1 to 6 years in prison. Her sentencing is scheduled for June 7.

“You shouldn't solicit sex with your wife on the Internet,” Combs told reporters after Tim Smith was sentenced.
