Murder-for-Hire Plot Unravels: Miami Mother Avoids Prison

About this episode

The episode discusses a Miami mother's failed murder-for-hire plot and her legal defense.

In July 2023, Miami mother Jasmine Paez logged onto rentahitman.com to solicit the murder of her three-year-old son. After providing photos and specific deadlines, she believed she was hiring a professional killer, but the site was actually a parody. Seasoned criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Amelia Ravelo joins to explain how, despite having an airtight case for solicitation of murder, Paez avoided jail time.
