Petitioner is the former chief executive officer for the Mary Jane Company, an apparel company in North Hollywood. In March 1989, angered by a business dispute with Robert Krugman, petitioner entered into a conspiracy with another officer of the Mary Jane Company to murder Krugman and obtain $1.25 million in life insurance proceeds. They hired two hitmen to kill Krugman. In July 1989, a security officer alerted the Los Angeles Police Department, which arrested petitioner and his co-conspirators before Krugman was killed. Petitioner was 46 years old at the time.
On July 10, 1991, pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, petitioner pled no contest to a charge of conspiracy to commit second degree murder (Pen. Code, 182.1, 187). The terms of the plea bargain included the Peoples agreement not to oppose parole at the earliest date recommended by the Board (Board). On August 23, 1991, the trial court sentenced to a term of 15 years to life in prison.
