Teen gets probation in murder-for-hire plot

An Missouri teenager gets two years probation for introducing his high-school classmate to two would-be hit men.
The sentence 18-year-old Joseph Garcia of Independence received Friday in county court is the same one imposed last month against 19-year-old Jacob Jett.

Prosecutors say Jett gave the would-be hit men $260 and three handguns to kill his adoptive parents because he thought they were too strict and wanted to inherit their money.
The plot came to light after one of the would-be hit men was picked up for a parole violation.
Prosecutors have said they didn't believe the men intended on committing the murders.

Garcia pleaded guilty in October to two counts of attempted second-degree murder.
