Tiffany Stevens of Bloomfield, Connecticut stands accused of hiring a hitman to kill her husband Eric Stevens. He’s still alive and, at times, it appeared as if the intended victim was the one on trial.
Defense attorney Hubert Santos laid it all out with the questioning.
“Did you communicate to her that her mattress be filled with blood?,” Santos asked.
“In 2009, yes,” Stevens responded.
“Did you threaten to reveal some sort of sex tapes, you claim you have?,” Santos asked.
“Yes, in 2009 I did.”
Stevens admits that his wife’s family gave him $1.8 million to cover gambling debts. The way he paid them back: Stevens threatened his father-in-law, saying he would release naked photos of his daughter: “the town of Great Neck, New York is going to get an eyeful of your precious daughter with her legs wide open.”
The motive: an ugly custody battle with more at stake than just the custody.
Police have said the case winner apparently would control a $50 million fund linked to their daughter’s care.
