Linda Lou Charbonneau received a sentence of 20 years in prison for her role in the deaths of her husband William Sproates and ex-husband, John Charbonneau.
Charbonneau, 59, had her 2004 death sentence overturned in a state Supreme Court ruling in 2006. As her retrial was under way in March, Charbonneau pleaded guilty to 1 count of 2nd-degree murder. The plea deal came this March after her daughter, Mellisa Rucinski, refused to testify at the retrial.
Rucinski is serving 25 years for her role in the murders and received an additional 5 months for refusing to testify.
Rucinski's husband Willie Brown was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The guilty plea - to one charge of 2nd-degree murder - carried a possible sentencing range of 10 to 20 years in prison.
Charbonneau's death penalty conviction was overturned when the state Supreme Court ruled she deserved a new trial because of the state's decision not to place both co-defendants on the stand. That meant defense attorneys could only question one of the 2 co-defendants.
