A Connecticut man has pleaded guilty for his role in a murder for hire scheme in which a New Jersey-based political consultant paid him and another man to kill a longtime associate.  73-year old George Bratsenis of Monroe was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit murder for hire. Two others previously pleaded guilty.  He is accused of stabbing the victim to death in the victim’s apartment, and then setting it on fire.  A co-conspirator solicited Bratsenis to commit a murder on his behalf in exchange for thousands of dollars, and then recruited another to join the plot. He faces a maximum potential penalty of life imprisonment and a 250-thousand dollar fine. Sentencing is scheduled for August 2nd.
