- Share via
A Northridge woman admitted today in Los Angeles Superior Court that she helped arrange a contract murder allegedly carried out by two former Los Angeles police officers.
In exchange for her testimony against former police officers Richard Ford and Robert Von Villas, prosecutors today allowed Joyce A. Reynolds, 47, to plead guilty to one count of soliciting murder.
Reynolds, who had been charged with murder, will be placed on probation as a condition of the plea bargain.
A preliminary hearing on the charges against the officers is currently under way.
