Inmate Sentenced for Murder-for-Hire Plot

A judge has sentenced a Wyoming State Penitentiary inmate to serve 35 years in prison for trying to hire a hit man to kill his own mother and stepfather so he could collect life insurance money and inherit their house. U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal of Cheyenne on Thursday sentenced 23-year-old Andrew Silicani on four counts of using the mail in his unsuccessful attempt to commission the murders.
