Cary man pleads guilty in murder-for-hire plot
WOODSTOCK – A Cary man pleaded guilty Wednesday to trying to hire a hit man and faces up to 15 years in prison for attempted solicitation of murder for hire.
Stanley Helmer, 59, also pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation of aggravated discharge of a firearm.
Helmer entered a blind plea, meaning there is no agreement between his attorney and prosecutors as to the sentence. The plea was accepted by McHenry County Judge Joseph Condon, and Helmer’s sentencing was set for Aug. 16.
