LE CENTER — A southern Minnesota mother accused of plotting to kill her daughter’s ex-husband has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison.

Sixty-year-old Linda Bloom of Cleveland and her 41-year-old daughter, Blanche Wilson of Le Sueur, were charged in June with conspiracy to commit murder.

Bloom was to stand trial this week but pleaded guilty last week and was sentenced to 10 years, 10 months and 15 days in prison.
