Cornelius M. Green and Jocelyn Peters

 

Cornelius M. Green, 42, was just sentenced for the 2016 murder of Jocelyn Peters, then 30, and her unborn child Micah.  Green was the father of the child and was married to someone who was NOT Ms. Peters at the time of the murder.

The prosecution asserted that Green embezzled money from the school where they both worked to hire somebody to murder Peters.  A friend of Green's, Phillip J. Cutler, did the deed for $2,500.  Both men received two consecutive life sentences for the murders in federal court.  Green was at the time carrying one more than one extramarital relationship.  He tried to abort Ms. Peters fetus by slipping her medication.  He screwed that up so decided to have her killed.

It was not real clear from the two articles I saw on this why this was tried in federal court.
