FARGO (KFGO) – A Fargo man whose life sentence was overturned in the death of a Fargo woman whose baby was cut from her body has been re-sentenced to 20 years in prison.
William Hoehn was sentenced a year ago to life in prison with the possibility of parole for his role in the 2017 attack on Savanna Greywind, whose baby survived.
The North Dakota Supreme Court ruled in August that a judge classified Hoehn as a dangerous special offender based on a 2012 child abuse conviction. It said East-Central District Judge Thomas Olson should not have gone beyond the maximum allowable sentence of 21 years.
Hoehn pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit kidnapping and lying to police before he was tried and acquitted in September 2018 on a conspiracy to commit murder charge.
