Colorado lawyer accused of murder-for-hire plot against estranged husband's gal pal sentenced to 10 years
Fox News
The Colorado animal rights activist who pleaded guilty to charges related to allegations she plotted to have her estranged husband’s love interest killed was sentenced Monday to 10 years minus time served.
Emmi was joined by her two lawyers during the hearing, when co-counsel M. Colin Bresee spoke for more than an hour about his client's character and her recent struggles in her relationship and battling illnesses and apparent addictions. Bresee asked that his client receive probation, rather than prison time, because she needed help coping and to be able to see her family. It had been 17 months and 26 days "since Jennifer has been allowed to see her children or hug her children," Bresee said. He later added: "She doesn't need more punishment from this court. She comes before this court begging you for your help."More Related News
