WILKES-BARRE -- A woman convicted of murder in Luzerne County was sentenced to prison Tuesday.

A county judge sentenced Jessica Alinsky to up to 40 years in prison.

She was convicted last month of third-degree murder and tampering with evidence.

Alinsky, of Shenandoah, shot and killed Matthew Gailie in the Eagle Rock community near Hazleton in 2011.

At first, police thought the man committed suicide, but after a coroner's inquest the death was ruled homicide. Alinsky pleaded guilty to the killing, only to change her mind a month later, withdrawing that plea.
