Crime Woman Caught Hiring Hit-Man

[Dan]

CHILLING video has emerged of a young wife trying to hire a hit man to murder her husband because it was 'easier than divorcing' him.
Julia Charlene Merfeld, 20, of Michigan in the US, has pleaded guilty to soliciting the murder of her 27-year-old husband.
An undercover police officer posing as a hit man secretly filmed two videos of Merfeld as they negotiated the killing while sitting in a car.
At one point Merfeld explains that in her opinion, murder would be "easier than divorcing" - she wouldn't have to worry about her family's judgment or "breaking his heart" if he was killed.
Both videos were played in court yesterday.
Police allege Merfeld wanted her husband's $400,000 life insurance policy and promised to pay $50,000 for the hit.
She will be sentenced on July 30.

Holy crap! Definitely a sociopath. Scary stuff.

There must be a good motive to why she hired a hitman.

$350,000 doesn't sound too bad
