Montgomery County politician Ruthann Aron was ordered yesterday to serve three years in the county jail for trying to hire a hit man to kill her husband and a lawyer under a sentence that a judge said will punish her but also allow her to get psychiatric help.
The sentence was substantially more than the one year in a private New York psychiatric hospital at her own expense that Aron’s attorneys had sought. But it also was a marked departure from the eight to 18 years in a state prison that sentencing guidelines recommend. With standard good behavior credit, she could be released after serving about two years.
