A 55-year-old Soddy-Daisy woman has avoided jail time in a murder-for-hire plot, if she can stay out of trouble.
On Thursday, Sharon Zurconett pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempt to solicit the commission of first-degree murder rather than face trial on a charge of solicitation of murder.
Police say she plotted to get rid of a woman who was dating a man she believed to be her boyfriend.
Police arrested Zurconett on April 24 after Walter Hogeland, 65, reported she’d tried two weeks before to pay him $300 to kill Celestea Figueroa, 51.
After Hogeland contacted police, officers set up a meeting between Hogeland and Zurconett. During that April 13, 2012, meeting, Zurconett asked Hogeland to kill the woman.
