Late NBA player Lorenzen Wright's ex-wife, Sherra Wright, pleaded guilty to facilitation to commit first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in Memphis on Thursday.
Sherra Wright originally pleaded not guilty but appeared in court on Thursday to change her plea. She received a sentence of 30 years in prison and is eligible for parole after serving eight years, which is 30% of her sentence. She will be credited for her time served, which is less than two years.
The Commercial Appeal reports Sherra Wright's hearing on Thursday was unscheduled. Trial for Sherra Wright and her co-defendant Billy Turner was expected to start on September 16.
