A northern Wisconsin man has been sentenced to 33 years in prison for the sexual assault of a child and plotting to murder the victim.
Russell Wilson had been charged with assaulting the girl when investigators say he tried to hire a hitman to kill her, her mother, and her mother’s boyfriend. He was found guilty on all charges in March and returned to court last Friday in Washburn County for sentencing.
Courtroom observers say it took the jury less than 90 minutes of deliberations to return the guilty verdict on four charges.
