Prosecutors agreed to seek a penalty of no more than 5 years against Scott Berkett, 25, for the murder-for-hire scheme, according to the plea agreement.
A Beverly Hills man accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill a woman he briefly dated has agreed to plead guilty to a federal charge, court papers show.
Berkett met the woman online, and she flew to Los Angeles to meet him in late October 2020. Identified in court papers by the initials R.E., the woman described Berkett as “sexually aggressive” and she tried repeatedly to break off the relationship following the trip, an affidavit filed in the case says.
