A Rochester man was convicted Wednesday of plotting to murder a Monroe County Family Court Judge, while his cousin was acquitted.
Dimitri Cash was already convicted of kidnapping two of his children from a foster home in Greece. They were later found safe in Alabama. Cash was sentenced to 115 years in prison and his cousin, JoeNathan Cash, was sentenced to 75 years for his role in the crime.
But the Cashes were also plotting the murder of Judge Stacy Romeo, because Dimitri Cash was angry with her rulings in a three-and-a-half year custody battle over his children. It was Romeo who placed Cash’s two youngest children in the foster home.
Dimitri and JoeNathan Cash went so far as to track the judge’s movements at work and at home, and planning to pose as delivery workers to burn her home with kerosene.
The jury convicted Dimitri in the murder plot but aquitted JoeNathan.
