JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A grand jury has returned first-degree murder charges in three high-profile Jacksonville cases, including two suspects charged in a 2019 murder-for-hire killing.
Jerry Burns and Stephen Hand are accused in the murder-for-hire killing of Burns’ wife, Velvet. Amanda Love was also arrested.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said Burns was having an affair with Love and paid her $5,000 to arrange for others to kill his wife and make it look like a burglary. According to Love’s police arrest report, she hired two men who were told they’d get more money when Burns collected on his wife’s life insurance.
