Baltimore man sentenced to 40 years for murder plot that killed wrong woman
A Baltimore man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for a murder plot in which the intended target was not the person killed. According to CBS News, the victim was a woman who was not the intended target of the scheme. The sentence closes a case that drew attention because the deadly mistake stemmed from a planned attack rather than random violence.
Why now: The wrongful killing of an innocent victim in a planned attack and the lengthy sentence make the case striking and widely shared.
