Hitmen seem to be far more prevalent in film than real life. That doesnt mean certain people wont go to Great Lengths to try to find and illusive paid assassin. Even to target members of their own family. The woman youre about to see is accused of offering 11,000 to do just that. And for good measure, she allegedly wanted the body consumed by alligators. Heres abcs Mara Schiavocampo. Reporter its like a made for tv movie. But tonight, this grandmother and social work earl ier is acc a real life murder for hire plot. I was shocked. This only happened on like a lifetime movie, you know . Reporter malisa shone field allegedly tried to hire a hitman to kill the father of her one and only grandchild. This man, for 11,000. Shes pleaded not guilty. Her daughter alexis telling abc news exclusively that her mom is concerned about keeping her daughter safe from negreo, who alexis says mistreated her. Shes not the mom that i grew up with, that i know, sorry. Reporter according to court documents, she met a detective inside her car at this walmart in watertown, new york. He was posing as the would be hitman. According to the detective, the grandmother said the best way to get rid of the body would be to throw it to the alligators. She allegedly told the detective her husband, a wellknown dentist, knew what she was up to. But did this grandma as accused really think she could get away with murder . It turns out, trying to hirl someone to make a loved one disappear may be more common than you think. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Meet julia. Got a little business to discuss . Yeah. Reporter shes planning her husbands murder. Something bad, a gunshot, how you want me to do it . You want me to shoot him . Unless you can do it painlessly without breaking his neck. Reporter and the stuff shes worried about, like the mess it might make. It would be messy in the house. Reporter she didnt have the to worry after all, because her husband is still alive. You see, the guy shes talking to, on the right hand there, hes an Undercover Police officer. So, why not just divorce her husband . Well, there was the insurance money to be had if he were dead and then there were his feelings to consider. Divorcing him, i didnt have the to worry about the judgment of my family, breaking his heart, stuff like this. Its kind of like a clean getaway. Reporter not so clean after all. Shes now serving a sentence at least five years and eight months. Hiring the wrong guy turns out to be a costly but not uncommon mistake. They step to a friend or an associate and what happens, in a vast majority of the time, the person they step to goes to law enforcement. Reporter the majority of murder for hires are amateur criminals. The motives . Money, broken hearts or just plain revenge. Im a,005,000 sure. Reporter for this motive, it was greed. In 2009, these recorded conversations allegedly show her negotiating terms for her husbands murder. It turns out the supposed killer for hire in the drivers seat was also an undercover cop. She was called home by police one day. Thank you for coming. Im sorry to call you. Reporter and given the false news that inside, her husband lay dead. Hes been killed. Hes been killed, maam. No, no. Reporter and then, they got her into an interrogation room. I just want to see my husband. Reporter she continues to speak as a shocked widow. Remember, as far as she knows, her husband is dead. But then, they tell her the socalled killer is actually one of their own men. Thats an Undercover Police officer. We filmed everything that you did. Recorded everything that you did. I didnt do anything. Reporter and finally, they tell her that her husband is still alive. Hes well and alive. Thank god. Oh, yeah, thank god . Can i see him . No, he doesnt want to see you. I just want to see him. Reporter her husband didnt believe her when she finally got him on the phone from jail. You know more than anybody its not true. Then what the [ bleep ] . You said you wanted to have me ki killed. I heard that. Reporter she was sentenced to 20 years. Shes out of jail on house arrest awaiting a new trial. As david muir found out in this 20 20 investigation, undercover cops posing as hitmen how are you doing . Hi, how are you . Have a seat. Reporter must disguise their looks and have to stage the murder. Were both fighting over this complete loser. Reporter suburban soccer mom nicole meets her would be hitman in a new jersey parking lot. So, what can get done . You can make her disappear . Reporter nicole wants to settle the score with her exboyfriends lover and wants her dead. I could do it myself but im i dont want to be have my hands on anything. Reporter she enlisted the help of her exboyfriends relative on facebook who alerted authorities. I want to go piss on her grave. I want to go to her funeral and spit in the casket. Reporter david met up with that undercover officer. A lot of people are going to ask, why would she ask a relative to help her find a hitman . I dont know. Maybe she was just disparate. She didnt know too many, i guess, bad people in her life that have actually committed crimes, because she wasnt that type of person. To hire someone for murder is a real serious thing. Reporter police staged the murder. Did what you said to do. Jennifer is dead. No way. Jennifer is dead. He shot her. He said he shot her in the head. He has proof. Shes done. Shes dead. Reporter nicole eventually pleaded guilty, getting ten years in federal prison.

But in one major city, a battle over a soda tax has led to new questions about whether a growing movement is really what it seems. Heres abcs david wright. Reporter protest rallies in San Francisco are a dime a dozen. And this one looks real enough. What do we want . Reporter but take a closer look. Youll see, theres something unusual about this protest. Right there in the fine print. This rally has corporate sponsorship. Lets be frank. This is a front group for coke and pepsi, right . Its not a front group. We dont hide it. Theres no secret about it. Thats really not the issue. The main issue is, is this measure right for San Francisco and we dont believe that it is. Reporter roger sal czazar i the spokesman for a group that sounds like its fighting skyrocketing rents or rampant gentry if i case. Nope. Its dedicated to fighting a proposed tax on sugary soft drinks. You want to make San Francisco more affordable by keeping the price of coke and pepsi affordable, basically . If the goal is to improve public health, taxing grocery items is not the way to do it. Reporter proposition e, often referred to as the soda tax, would tax all sugar sweetened beverages 2 cents an ounce, with the proceeds earm k earmarked for programs to educate children towards health area choices in an effort to reduce obesity. Whether or not a beverage tax is the best answer to fight obesity is open to debate. Thats not why were here. Were here to look at that notion astro turf campaigns. Campaigns that look like grassroots efforts, but are bought and paid for by Interest Groups with deep pockets. Sup supervisor scott weiner is the man behind prop e. This is a fake group of the American Beverage Association. Reporter this is a coalition of pepsi, coke. Red bull and sunny d, all the rest. Reporter over the past few years, more than 30 other communities have tried to take on sugary beverages and the aba has poured millions into the fight for strike them down. Big Soda Companies come in with millions and millions of c corporate dollars to spend misinformation. Reporter but ask the no on e group about it and claim the coalition is huge. There are lots of folks that feel this is the wrong priority for the city of San Francisco. Reporter we decided to check it out. Our first stop, smoking warehouse barbecue. He tells us the no on e campaigners told him the proceeds of the tax may not actually go to the intended Childhood Health programs. They told me the money wouldnt go towards education of kids. Reporter but if it goes toward the education of kids im for it. Reporter next, we went to another restaurant. The manager there pointed out they have a sign in the window supporting prop e. Youre saying soft drinks, sugary soft drinks are bad. Yeah. Reporter they should be taxed . Yeah. Reporter at joes doesnt exist anymore. The restaurants website says its been closed more than six months. To be fair, the no on e campaign did hand over records of endorsement from all of the bitzs on their list, including joes cable car burger joint. We have signed cards for every single one of the businesses. I cant help if they closed after we went and talked to them. Reporter and we did come across some businesses that do, in fact, oppose the tax. The fizzry is an artisanal soda and candy shop. Its owner, literally the poster boy for the no on e campaign. If it passed, we would lose business for sure. At the base of it, its a grocery tax and i dont know any shopper that wants that. Reporter fair enough. But is that really enough to make the average citizen take to the streets . Weve heard accusations that the no on e campaign was actually hiring people to hold signs. Many of whom arent even San Francisco voters. So, nightline producer jackie jesco answered this craigslist ad, looking for sign holders. The pay . 13 an hour, right . Reporter jackie made sure to tell him she lives 3,000 miles from San Francisco. Well, i actually live in new york. Reporter no problem, said the campaign guy. Its okay . Okay. Reporter when she showed up at the no on e rally and tried to talk to some of the protesters is this a paid gig . Were really just doing it for the taxes. Reporter the campaign quickly shut down her attempts to interview anyone else. Why are you here today . Im not talking to the press. This isnt a press event. Its a rally. Not talking to anybody . Reporter but there was one group that was keen to talk to the cameras. This small but vocal pro soda tax group. Were just telling the truth. Reporter this is maureen irwin, leader of choose health sf. The official protax campaign. The protax group is being outfunded 30 to 1. Their mascot, big soda cry baby, hands on monopoly money for votes. More where this came from. Reporter we reached out to the American Beverage Association who told us, we oppose taxes or other discriminatory proposals that single out our products. We are completely transparent in our engagement in these debates. If San Francisco passes a soda tax, it sends a very powerful message that big soda can be beaten. Reporter and if San Francisco doesnt manage to get the necessary twothirds majority, theres a soda tax on the ballot in berkeley, too. Im david wright for nightline in San Francisco.
