"New York Man Faces Lengthy Prison Sentence for Murder-for-Hire Scheme"

[!CDATA[A man from New York is facing a lengthy prison sentence for his involvement in a murder-for-hire scheme targeting a romantic rival. Jeal Sutherland, 57, pleaded guilty to using an interstate commerce facility in the plot, which included plans to feed the victim's body to pigs. Sutherland was arrested in January in connection to the scheme, which targeted a man from the Albany area, who is the father of a child with Sutherland's former partner. The victim was unharmed in the incident. Sutherland also arranged for a dead animal with a threatening note to be left on the victim's mother's doorstep. The FBI thwarted the plan, and Sutherland now faces prison time, a fine, and probation upon release. He is set to be sentenced in September.]]
