Florida Mother Arrested for Allegedly Hiring Hitman to Target Son's Case Witnesses

Josefina Cardona-Cardona faces charges of solicitation to commit murder after attempting to eliminate witnesses from her son’s murder trial.

Josefina Cardona-Cardona was detained for trying to hire an undercover agent to kill two witnesses who testified against her son.
Her son, Manuel Marcos Cardona, was previously convicted for a fatal stabbing at a child's birthday party in 2022.
The alleged murder-for-hire plot was uncovered by Palm Beach County deputies through an informant in April.
The suspect offered $8,000 for the killings, unaware she was dealing with an undercover officer.
Following her arrest, Cardona-Cardona could face deportation after her trial, as she is reportedly in the U.S. illegally.
