Police chief's wife given deadline for plea deal
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- An attorney for the wife of the Fort Lauderdale police chief says she was given two weeks to accept a plea deal or face trial.
Attorney David Bogenschutz said Eleanor Adderley was given the July 13 plea deadline at a hearing Monday morning. Authorities say she is accused of shooting a bullet at her husband, Police Chief Frank Adderley, while he was lying in bed in July 2008.
She faces a 20 year minimum sentence for two felony charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and shooting into a dwelling.
Adderley posted $25,000 bond in 2008.
Bogenschutz didn't immediately return a telephone call from The Associated Press during business hours.
