Sherra Wright entered the plea Thursday during a hearing in Shelby County Criminal Court in Tennessee.
Judge Lee Coffee said Sherra Wright would be eligible for parole once she served 30% of her sentence, which would be around nine years.
Lorenzen Wright’s body was found in a swampy field in Memphis in July 2010. He had been missing for 10 days before his body was found riddled with bullet wounds. Sherra Wright and co-defendant Billy Turner were charged in December 2017 with first-degree murder and had been scheduled to go to trial Sept. 16.
