Both women were placed on $100,000 bond. Diane Hart, 45, was charged as a four-time habitual offender. Her record includes a breaking and entering charge from 1986.
Hart and Brill, 50, are accused of meeting with an undercover officer who was posing as a hit man and agreeing to pay $5,000 to kill one of their husbands, but at the moment it’s not clear if Gene Michael Hart, 51, of Ravenna, was the intended victim.
