FINLEY, N.D. (KFGO-AM) -- A Finley woman has admitted to the murder of her husband. Sherry Midstokke, 61, was accused of drugging and smothering her husband, 66 year-old Lyle Midstokke, at their home in Finley last Feb.
Steele County State's Attorney Charlie Stock says the plea agreement was reached with input from family members.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled next month. If the case had gone to trial had Midstokke had been convicted, she could have been sentenced 30 years without the possibility of parole.
