I Love You, Hellspawn

Ashlee Pulcini gets spared decades in prison by the very father she tried to have killed:

Police say his teenage daughter paid $200 and delivered the dad's own gun to her friend to use to murder him, but Michael Pulcini begged a judge Thursday to keep his family together -- and his daughter out of prison.
...
His voice cracking with emotion, Michael Pulcini said he was convinced his daughter realized she made a mistake and did everything possible to stop the alleged hit on his life.
...
Police said Ashlee Pulcini and her then-boyfriend John Coffin hired another teenage acquaintance, Derek Loring, to kill Michael Pulcini, who did not approve of their relationship and had ordered his daughter to stay away from Coffin. Ashlee Pulcini admitted in court to paying Loring $200 and giving him her father's .45-caliber handgun. Coffin allegedly paid the remaining $100.

Coffin also is charged with solicitation to commit murder, and his case is still open. Loring, who told police about the plot, was not charged.

Ashlee Pulcini told [Judge] Conner she realized she made a mistake and ''tried to fix it'' by repeatedly calling Loring in an effort to get the gun back. She also said she didn't take the plot seriously at first.

''I am really, truly sorry for everything that has happened, and I don't blame anybody but myself,'' Ashlee Pulcini said.

She got house arrest and probation instead of 30 years in prison. A dad's love is something, isn't it? Did she really want him dead? Oh, yeah.
