The two lawyers charged are Seth Andrew Sutton, 45, a well-known criminal defense lawyer in Waco, and Chelsea Tijerina, 33, who works at Sutton’s firm, report the Waco Tribune-Herald and the Daily Beast.
Sutton and Tijerina are accused of seeking the murder of Tijerina’s ex-husband, lawyer Marcus Beaudin, who was arrested in February on a charge of indecency with a child. Beaudin’s lawyer has denied the allegations.
