Sonora Nurse Accused of Murder-for-Hire Plot
Husband Defends Her Amidst Illness Claims
Heidi Butler, a nurse and mother from Sonora, California, has been accused of plotting to hire someone to murder her husband. However, new information suggests that she may have been suffering from an illness at the time.
According to the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office, Butler was arrested in April after an investigation revealed that she had allegedly contacted an undercover agent posing as a hitman.
However, Butler's husband, Joel Butler, has since come to her defense, claiming that she was not in her right mind at the time of the alleged plot.
"My wife is a good person," Joel Butler told CBS13. "She would never do anything like this unless she was sick."
It has been reported that Butler has a history of mental health issues, including depression and anxiety.
The Tuolumne County District Attorney's Office is currently reviewing the evidence in the case to determine whether to file charges against Butler.
Conclusion
The case of Heidi Butler is a reminder that even the most shocking allegations can have hidden depths. As the investigation continues, it is important to remember that everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, especially those who may be struggling with mental illness.
