"Man jailed for trying to frame his wife on Craigslist"

Via Drudge:  A Washington Township man who posed as his estranged wife on Craigslist in an attempt to frame her for his own murder could serve just a day in jail, or almost two years.

The sentence of up to 23 months will run concurrent to the sentence Christian Koelsch, 30, previously received on a simple assault conviction.

That conviction stems from a domestic violence incident he wrote about in the Craigslist advertisement in which he posed as his wife, requesting someone to help "her" "take care of" her ex-husband, even if it meant killing him.

Police determined Koelsch was behind the advertisement after Craigslist provided information about the ad and the account that created it. That information allowed police to determine Koelsch created the ad.

Wednesday, Koelsch pleaded guilty to false reports-falsely incriminate another person in connection to the Craigslist ad, and was sentenced to a minimum of one day and a maximum of 23 months in Franklin County Jail.
