Baltimore Man Sentenced To 40 Years For Killing Wrong Woman

Original: Wrong Woman Killed In Murder Plot Targeting A Federal Witness; Baltimore Man Sentenced To 40 Years

A Baltimore man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for his role in a murder plot that targeted a federal witness but resulted in the killing of the wrong woman. Federal prosecutors said the intended victim was not harmed, while the mistaken killing highlighted the violence used to intimidate witnesses in criminal cases.

Why now: The severity of the sentence and the mistaken-identity killing in a witness intimidation plot have drawn attention to witness safety and violent crime.
