    An Army sergeant once named ""Soldier of the Year"", Sgt. S.H, pleaded guilty to Attempted First Degree Capital Murder for hiring a Milwaukee-area friend to murder his pregnant wife.  Though facing 135 months in jail, Mr. Amolsch argued that Sgt. S.H. should receive a significantly lower sentence due to, among other things, his diminished capacity amd service to his country.  After considering these arguments, Sgt. S.H received a sentence of only 87 months, 4 years less than sought by the government.
