The sentence is five-and-a-half years in prison for a Chippewa Falls woman who hired someone to kill the father of her child. Melanie Schrader pleaded guilty to solicitation of first-degree intentional homicide last month. Authorities say Schrader met with an undercover officer and paid a 200-dollar down payment and agreed to give the alleged hitman ten-thousand dollars to kill her daughter’s father. She was given credit for 587 days already served.
