No - no death penalty - here's her plea deal:

2/4/22 Update: Faith plead guilty to the murder-for-hire charge before U.S. District Judge Jane J. Boyle on Monday morning. In return for her plea, prosecutors agreed to drop the obstruction charge & to recommend a sentence of life imprisonment.

She pled guilty and will be sentenced 6/21. Before that, it was a consideration under murder for hire charge. Also, she's also being prosecuted in federal court.

Thanks for the link: well, she is one of the worst female murderers I have heard of in a very long time. She is truly diabolical. She really does deserve death but the prosecutor has recommended life- we will see what the judge does.

1/28/22 Update: Next week, Jennifer Faith plans to voluntarily waive her rights as a defendant & plead guilty to the murder-for-hire charge, the plea agreement said. She will also have to give information & testimony about her involvement in her husband's death. After talking to her lawyers, Faith has concluded that it is in her best interest to enter into this plea agreement & all its terms, rather than to proceed to trial in this case. Faith will also waive her right to an appeal from her conviction & sentencing, as long as it does not exceed the statutory maximum punishment. The government will not bring any additional charges against Faith related to her plea of guilty, per the agreement. The plea agreement is conditioned upon approval from the Attorney General of the United States. If Faith violates any part of the agreement, the government will be free to prosecute Faith for all offenses. Faith has been charged in US District Court under Federal statutes & this agreement does not extend to any charges that may be brought against the defendant at the State level. Re-arraignment set for 2/4/22 at 11am before Judge Jane J. Boyle.
2/4/22 Update: Faith plead guilty to the murder-for-hire charge before U.S. District Judge Jane J. Boyle on Monday morning. In return for her plea, prosecutors agreed to drop the obstruction charge & to recommend a sentence of life imprisonment. Sentencing will ultimately be at the discretion of the judge. According to plea papers, Ms. Faith admitted that her boyfriend, Darrin Ruben Lopez gunned down her husband, American Airlines technology director Jamie Faith, on Oct. 9, 2020 in front of his home in Oak Cliff. (Mr. Lopez has been charged by the state with murder & by the feds with a gun crime. He has pleaded not guilty to both charges. She also admitted that before the murder, she used two phony email accounts to correspond with Mr. Lopez, assuming the identities of her own husband & one of her friends in order to falsely convince Mr. Lopez that her husband was physically & sexually abusing her. (In plea papers, Ms. Faith stipulated that no such abuse ever occurred.) Ms. Faith admitted that she downloaded stock images depicting injuries from the internet & attached them to some of the emails to convince Mr. Lopez that the abuse was actually occurring. She is slated to be sentenced on 5/26/22.
5/26/22 Update: Sentencing has been continued to 6/21/22.
*Darrin Ruben Lopez (48/now 49) (BF) arrested & charged (1/11/21) & indicted (2/5/21) with murder. $1M bond. Plead not guilty. Dallas County. Extradited from TN to TX January, 2021. Announcement hearing on 6/24/22.

Sorry - I personally don't know - maybe someone else will chime in! :) But it is Federal court - so probably not - they don't allow cameras in the court room from my understanding.

Story updated:

"Tuesday, Jennifer appeared in front of the judge wearing an orange and white jumpsuit. She didn't address the court after her life sentence was read.
The judge also ordered her to pay a $250,000 fine and 6,500 in restitution to Jamie Faith's family for funeral expenses."

Faith is being sentenced in US Federal court where no cameras are allowed. Only sketch artists are allowed!

Broadcasting and photographing criminal proceedings in federal courts is prohibited under the Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure (see here ).

Lopez has been charged by the state with murder and by the feds with a gun crime. He has pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Jennifer Faith's sentencing will ultimately be at the discretion of the judge. The hearing is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Dallas woman sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to coordinating husband's murder-for-hire with ex-boyfriend

Jennifer Lynne Faith had faced charges of obstruction of justice and use of interstate commerce in the commission of murder-for-hire.

I'm predicting DL will not go to trial. Now that Jen F was put away for her lifetime, I expect his case will be settled sooner than later. MOO

is that without parole?? if it isnt she could be released after a number of years

A sentence in US District court is always at the judge's discretion. However, this was a death penalty case where in exchange for waiving death, JEN F was sentenced to life imprisonment. We had no announcement from the Court acknowledging any remorse or other mitigating factors from the defendant so I think Judge Boyle's "pure evil" was his seal that she will have no consideration for parole.

Jennifer Faith Sentence to Life for Murder for Hire in Husband’s Death

Jennifer Lynne Faith, the Oak Cliff woman who convinced her boyfriend to shoot her husband to death, was sentenced today to life in federal prison for orchestrating the murder.
www.justice.gov www.justice.gov

6/21/22

“Ms. Faith put on quite a performance in the wake of her husband’s murder. She poured out her sob story to reporters and law enforcement, then headed home to orchestrate her coverup,” said U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham. “But crocodile tears didn’t stop the feds. We were committed to getting justice for Jamie, and with the Judge’s imposition of a life sentence this afternoon, we’re one step closer.”

“No amount of time in federal prison will ever be able to bring Mr. Faith back, however this sentencing shows the gravity of Ms. Faith’s criminal acts. Her spineless attempt to sway law enforcement and public opinion will forever be etched into the hearts of those affected by her monstruous crime. I would like to personally thank the Dallas Police Department Detectives, the Assistant United States Attorneys, and the ATF Special Agents that were ultimately responsible for bringing this villain to justice” stated ATF Dallas Field Division Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey C. Boshek II.

After hearing evidence presented by the prosecutor, United States District Judge Jane J. Boyle admonished Ms. Faith calling her “pure evil” before imposing her life sentence.

Copies of public sentencing exhibits are available to credentialed media upon request.

Let's hope media requested copies of the exhibits made available to MSM.
