CLARK COUNTY, NV — The estranged wife of Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin, has reached a plea agreement in a high-profile murder-for-hire case.
According to court documents filed in Clark County, Nevada, and obtained by TMZ, Victoria Goodwin intends to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder.
As part of the plea, prosecutors have agreed to drop a second charge of solicitation to commit murder. The agreement also stipulates that prosecutors will refrain from making any sentencing recommendation, leaving that decision entirely to the judge.
The case made headlines last month when Victoria was arrested following an alleged plot to have Aaron killed.
Authorities say she exchanged messages with Florida inmate Grant Amato, discussing plans to end her husband’s life rather than pursue a divorce.
In one particular message, she reportedly wrote, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”
She also allegedly disclosed detailed information about Aaron’s filming schedule, including where and when he would be on set with fellow paranormal investigator Zak Bagans in California.
Under Nevada law, conspiracy to commit murder carries a potential prison sentence ranging from two to ten years, along with a possible fine of up to $5,000. The exact sentencing will be determined at a future court date.
In response to the disturbing revelations, Aaron Goodwin has already initiated divorce proceedings, filing just days after his wife’s arrest.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
