Woman sentenced in attempted murder-for-hire case

Posted to: Crime News Virginia


WILLIAMSBURG

A Williamsburg woman will spend seven and a half years in prison for trying to hire a man to kill her husband.

Nancy Sue Lasiewski pleaded guilty in February to attempted capital murder, killing for hire, after she made a $40 down payment to an undercover police officer she believed was a hit man.

The 42-year-old testified during sentencing Thursday that she never intended to go through with the deal and that she told the would-be hit man not to do anything until she paid in full. Prosecutors had said she agreed to pay $10,000 to have her husband killed, but Lasiewski said she never set a price.

She testified that Richard Lasiewski was an absentee father who drank too much and that he had threatened to kill if she relocated to Florida with their three children.
