On September 14th, a Florida woman, Sarah Lynn Curry, was released on a $50,000 bail after being accused of conspiring to kill her husband while in the Bahamas.
According to court documents, Curry was accused of planning to have two men, identified as 43-year-old Patrick Fenelus and 39-year-old Jean Sarkozy, assist her in killing her husband. The alleged murder-for-hire plot has been ongoing since February of this year.
Curry reportedly paid Fenelus $5,000 to travel from Miami to the Bahamas so he could buy a gun to facilitate the murder plot. She is then said to have given Sarkozy additional money to act as an intermediary between her and Fenelus.
Despite the severity of the charges, a judge granted Curry bail after hearing her plea for a reduction. According to reports, she plans to return to Florida to live with her parents.
Her attorney indicated that she is innocent until proven guilty and that she was not involved in any plot to kill her husband. “We are optimistic that all of the facts will be brought out with this case,” said attorney John Krit.
The release of Sarah Lynn Curry illustrates the complexity of international crime and how it can often lead to long, drawn-out legal battles. Her case is just one of many recent examples of how global criminal networks can span multiple countries and will require legal systems from around the world to cooperate in order to ensure justice is served.
It remains to be seen what will happen in Curry’s case as the facts continue to be uncovered. However, with the international cooperation of law enforcement agencies and the judicial system, we can be confident that the truth will eventually prevail.
