Woman Guilty to Wanting Her Husband Killed

MARSHALL – A Marshall woman accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill her husband has pleaded guilty. Trisha Groot George, 34, entered the plea in state district court on Wednesday to solicitation to commit capital murder for remuneration. She was then sentenced to five years in prison. The Longview News Journal reports an assistant DA told the judge that while George’s husband asked for leniency in the case, requesting that she be given probation, the state was still proceeding with its recommended plea agreement of five years’ confinement. George was arrested last August after the man she tried to hire for the job turned out to be an undercover police officer.
