A Michigan woman indicted on federal charges that accuse her of placing an ad on Craigslist that solicited the killing of her lover's wife in California plans to plead guilty in the case.

Court papers filed on behalf of Ann Marie Linscott of Rockford state the 48-year-old wants to plead guilty in federal court in Michigan and waive a trial in California. A next court date wasn't set.

The indictment issued last month claims Linscott used e-mails to solicit three people who responded to her posting for "freelance" work and that she offered $5,000 for the hit.

Linscott, 49, of Rockford, a married mother of two, was sentenced by the judge to 12 and a half years in prison, the maximum under federal sentencing guidelines, for trying to hire someone to kill her romantic rival.

Her target was the wife of a man she met in cyberspace while taking an online college course.

Prosecutors said Linscott, whose husband, John, still supports her, quickly latches onto others, including a sheriff's deputy she met in jail, and was willing to have someone killed to get what she wanted.

While locked up last summer, she wrote a love letter to a deputy at the Newaygo County Jail, and wanted to be returned there after being transferred to Montcalm County Jail. In a letter filed in court, she wrote to the deputy that she missed him.

"I wish you'd send me a card with a little note letting me know you're thinking of me and missing me. I need something to hang onto! ... I think of you often every day."

In 1997, she "fixated" on a co-worker, who filed for a personal-protection order after she began stalking him.

Her lawyer, Matthew Santamauro, said she has borderline personality disorder, and needs treatment for mental illness.

In her statement to the judge, Linscott, a massage therapist, talked about her loyalty, work history, volunteerism and efforts to help others. She has served in the U.S. Coast Guard and has a criminal-justice degree.

The judge was not impressed.

"I continue to believe, even here today, she does not accept responsibility," Neff said. "She does not understand what she did."http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2009/02/rockford_woman_sentenced_to_15.html

A really good example of why you don't divulge too much personal info online.

I'd have to agree she's crazy. Looking at her I've got to wonder why someone that unattractive thinks she's all that anyway.
