A Beverly Hills man has agreed to a plea deal in a murder-for-hire plot, after trying to hire a hitman to kill a woman he met online, prosecutors say.
Prosecutors say 25-year-old Scott Berkett is expected to plead guilty later this month.
The federal charge usually carries a sentence of up to 10 years, but prosecutors have agreed to seek no more than five.After meeting in person, she apparently tried to break off the relationship. In an interesting plot twist, the supposed hitman Berkett hired off the dark web was really an undercover agent.
