The former host of the Food Network's "Calorie Commando" is expected to be sentenced Monday after he pleaded "no contest" to a charge of soliciting two homeless men to kill his wife.
Juan-Carlos Cruz's plea agreement calls for a nine-year sentence, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said in late October after the plea was announced.
One count of attempted murder was dropped as part of the plea settlement, the prosecutor said at the time.
Fertility issues were at the center of Cruz's motivation in the murder-for-hire plot to kill his wife, according to sources close to the couple.
FULL STORY
Who? Never heard of him.
since when was murder the superior option to divorce?
He will be able to make all the grits and fried bologna, with that special presentation.
WAIT. There was an episode of LAW AND ORDER just like this about 6 years ago. The Chef was even Hispanic.
Thats true, I remember that one. He looked like that Rocco guy in New York who had a show about a failed restuarant. I thought Rocco was gonna kill his business partner because the guy wanted Rocco to fire his Momma. Now that would be news!
The homeless need jobs so they will not be stalked by tv personalities.
Kevin, How do you know he was hispanic? Sounds like name profiling to me. You should be ashamed.
You, Evo, are an idiot
Same way I can tell you are an obese American!
I'll bet money he wasn't a Chinaman!
of course he is hispanic. juan cruz-not an african or europe name. grow up every race has nuts.
firtility issues? What was the matter? Chef couldn't get the bun in the oven?
Fertility
Yeah, and so the most logical solution to that problem is to have her killed. Jeezus.
Why didn't he just go knock up another woman? Divorce your wife and get another more fertile wife.
This man got no cojones.
"murder"?
"get another more fertile wife"?
A bit Henry VIII, don't you think?
Sweeny Todd and the meat pies?
All prisons should have their own gourmet CHEF....don't you think?
Appears he was trying to lose 120 pounds without changing his eating habits.. A low-cal chef should know better.
Looks like it was a half-baked plan...
What is wrong with people? Really?
Now they'll have rotten chicken burrritos instead of rotten roast chicken. Yum Yum!
...Oh, I guess the guillotene was all booked up-
