(KSL News) A Utah man convicted of plotting to kill his ex-wife will go to prison for at least five years.
A judge called Donald Millard's crime "horrible" as he handed down a sentence of five years to life in prison.
Millard is convicted of conspiracy to commit aggravated murder. Prosecutors say he asked another man to kill his ex-wife, Susan Hyatt, in 2004 so he could get out of paying child support.
When that didn't work, Millard enlisted help from a second man, James Brinkerhoff, who successfully stabbed Hyatt in her Granstville home.
She survived.
Prosecutors say at that point, Millard asked Brinkerhoff to try again.
