PICKAWAY COUNTY – After a paperwork error threw out the initial conviction, Tara Lambert, 33, has been re-indicted in a murder-for-hire plot against her husband’s ex-wife, Kelly Cooke.
In 2015, Lambert attempted to hire a hitman to assassinate the ex, requesting the body be disposed of, in a wood chipper. However, her attempt to hire a would-be assassin was instead an undercover cop, who recorded the plot and arrested her at the local Wal-Mart.
In addition to the new indictment, Lambert is seeking a lawsuit against her former defense attorney, James Kingsley of Circleville, for providing “Ineffective counsel”. She has hired Columbus-based defense attorney Sam Shamansky.
Lambert reached national and international headlines for wearing “Provocative” attire during her case, which some had stated may have caused the error, setting her free.
Odds are they’ll do a plea deal for six months plus time served & some probation. If they can do a plea deal for the murderer of a young lady & her unborn child why would anyone expect more.
Big injustice if a light sentence is given cause all the evidence is on tape.
Open and shut case with a easy conviction. She’s going to prison.
