A Utah woman who tried to hire a hitman to kill her ex-husband was sentenced to prison on Monday — despite her last-ditch efforts to again delay the outcome.
Linda Gillman, 70, was found guilty eight months ago of first-degree felony criminal solicitation, and a jury acquitted her of a second count alleging she tried to have the ex-husband’s wife killed.
Since then, nine sentencing dates have come and gone before a judge on Monday during her 10th sentencing date finally handed down a three-year-to-life sentence for the crime.
Other court dates have been canceled or delayed for various reasons — including that Gillman refused to come to court, she fired her attorney, then her new attorney wasn’t prepared in time.
