A former pediatrician in Kentucky charged with trying to kill her ex-husband in a murder-for-hire plot has pleaded guilty to federal charges.
Dr. Stephanie Russell entered a guilty plea before her trial began Monday, according to the case manager for Judge David Hale.
Russell pleaded guilty to two counts of a federal indictment charging her with using a facility in interstate commerce, or causing another person to travel in interstate commerce, in the attempted murder-for-hire of her ex-husband, as well as aiding and abetting interstate stalking of her ex-husband.
