Business Partner Convicted in Murder of Attorney
A New York jury this week convicted the business partner of a Long Island lawyer who was shot and killed in the parking lot of a Korean restaurant in October 2008 for arranging the hit. Ronald Thornton was found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy in the death of James DiMartino, who worked for Nationwide Court Services. Thornton had constructed an elaborate plot to kill DiMartino, including conspiring with a stripper to recruit two men to carry out the killing for $8,000.
