SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 16 -- A woman accused of
murder for hire was freed on
$50,000 bond on March 16 but
ordered not to travel to
Brooklyn where her targets,
and spouse with whom she
shared a dog,
resides. Both the
defendant and the victim work
for a online sports betting
company.
According to the
US Attorney's Office, the
defendant sought out and
prepared to pay $6,000 in
Bitcoin for the murder of the
spouse through a dark web site
which offered, for the lower
price of $2500, to break bone
or cut off a body
part.
Federal Defender
Marne Lenox noted to U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Stewart D.
Aaron that the government
waited a long time before
charging her
client.
Judge Aaron took
a break, during which Marne
Lenox joked to Inner City
Press, You're going to write
about me. Inner City Press
replied, It's a big day here
in Mag Court. And it was, what
with a rare appearance at the
prosecution table by SDNY US
Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman,
and a confab of Mag Court
judges Gorenstein, Cave and
Aaron, at least, in the
back.
Judge Aaron
returned and ordered the
defendant Ms. Schneider
released on $50,000 bond;
Lenox was ordered to be the
one to deal with the shared
dog (drawing a joke from
another defense lawyer
online). Also, no Brooklyn or
dark web for the defendant,
but not restrictions beyond
that. The defendant remains in
the Mag court gallery for the
next case. And so it goes in
the SDNY. The case is US v.
Schneider, 20-mj-2777
(Aaron).
