Two Idaho County sisters face up to 10 years in prison in connection to an alleged plot to hire someone to kill their neighbor. Under a plea agreement, Doris and Debra Wensman, of Greencreek, pleaded guilty to assault with intent to commit a serious felony – amended from the original charges of criminal solicitation to commit a crime. The two women were taken into custody in January 2019 after allegedly offering an undercover law enforcement officer money, guns, and ammunition to kill their neighbor. The plea agreement calls for sentences of a fixed four years in the state penitentiary and an additional indeterminate sentence of six years. However, the deal allows the judge to retain jurisdiction over the sisters for one year, at the end of which they would be eligible for supervised probation. Sentencing is scheduled for May.
