Hearn is getting this deal in exchange for testifying against his former lover, Sabrina Limon, who was arrested Friday. Because of this agreement, prosecutors are dropping the murder charges and replacing them with a charge of voluntary manslaughter.
But there was another charge Hearn pleaded guilty to today, a separate charge of attempted murder, yet another bombshell.
Judge Brehmer said the attempted murder took place on March 19 2014, six months before Robert Limon was killed. Details were sparse, but there was another charge that implied the attempted murder involved poison.
Clayton Campbell, Hearn's attorney, told us today "there is new evidence that has recently came to the attention of the authorities that has to do with a prior attempt on Robert Limon's life, and those same charges have been filed against Sabrina Limon."
Campbell also told us that the plea deal was a difficult decision for his client, Jonathan Hearn, to make, but said guilt was the driving force behind it. "he's not a cold-hearted evil man who has no conscious, his conscious compelled him to make this plea", said Campbell.
Campbell also said that to his knowledge, his client hasn't had contact with his former lover, Sabrina Limon, while he's been in jail awaiting trial for the past several years. Limon is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow afternoon.
One thing the cameras didn't capture was just how packed the courtroom was today with family of Jonathan Hearn, while there was only one friend of the victim, Robert Limon, present. We spoke with Limon's friend after the hearing, he was emotional and said the announcement of the plea deal was a total shock. He said if the family and friends of Robert Limon knew it was coming, they would have all been in court for support of the homicide victim.
