Six years?????
According to the article, six years is the minimum. Also, the law ranks a successful murder as more serious than an attempted murder; an attempted murder as more serious than a conspiracy to commit murder; and a conspiracy to commit murder as more serious than a solicitation to commit murder. (There was no conspiracy here because the "hitman" wasn't really a hitman and thus there was no actual agreement between two people to commit a crime. So all you had was a "solicitation"-- asking someone to commit a crime.)
Her husband, the target, asked the court to sentence her to time served (which is a few weeks I believe).
The judge said that he would change it to six years from seven in deference to the victim's plea for leniency.
