LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Molestation suspect accused of trying to hire hit man

(04-30) 06:14 PDT LIVERMORE -- A well-known Livermore golf coach charged with 75 felony counts alleging that he molested children is now facing accusations that he tried from jail to hire a hit man to kill three alleged victims, authorities said Tuesday.

Andrew Michael Nisbet, 32, wrote letters from Santa Rita Jail in Dublin expressing his interest in having them "taken care of," Alameda County district attorney's Inspector Jeff McCort wrote in a court affidavit.


Those letters, which included information about the alleged victims, ended up in the hands of a confidential informant, who in turn brought them to the attention of a sheriff's deputy in February, authorities said. The informant later received more letters from Nisbet "agreeing on a price for each victim and that Nisbet can get the (informant) money," McCort wrote.

In March, a district attorney's inspector, posing undercover as a hit man, visited Nisbet in jail during a secretly recorded meeting, authorities said.

The inspector described himself as a "mechanic and could fix a car for him and made a pistol-shooting motion with his hand," McCort wrote, noting that the term mechanic is often used to mean hit man or contract killer.

Nisbet said that there were two "cars," one in Pleasanton and another in Santa Barbara, where one alleged victim attends college, authorities said.

The inspector asked Nisbet for the name of the person in Santa Barbara, and Nisbet "mouthed" the name and said the "car" was 21 years old, McCort wrote.

Nisbet agreed to pay his visitor money up front "to prove he was serious," authorities said. The undercover inspector told Nisbet that he'd make it look like "someone got robbed for a cell phone and it wouldn't come back to Nisbet," the affidavit said.

A search of Nisbet's jail cell uncovered driving directions to the home of the alleged victim in Pleasanton and "many other letters" from Nisbet to the informant discussing the murder-for-hire plot, according to McCort.


Nisbet was arrested in December and had originally been charged with 65 felonies, including lewd acts with a child, oral copulation of a child, sending harmful matter and arranging a sexual meeting with a minor. Authorities said Nisbet sexually assaulted several boys between the ages of 12 and 17 between 2009 and 2012.

Prosecutors later added 10 more felony charges, including allegations that he possessed child pornography.

He now faces three felony counts of solicitation of murder.

Nisbet, who had worked at Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore since 2006 and was director of instruction, has also trained students in Michigan, North Carolina, Mississippi and Alabama, authorities said.

Dublin, California. His victims being in Pleasanton and Santa Barbara is a bit of a clue there.

He may very well be sentenced to death but the execution will never be carried out.

Well, it'd be life imprisonment (probably 35 years), with likely no chance of ever being released. In rare cases, it'd be full life without any chance of parole. Either way, he'll never get out.

And in the case of child molesters/killers, look at what happened to Ian Huntley.

edit: LOLLLL he's american. ignore the above.

I'm pretty sure nothing he's charged with has any possibility of the death penalty. He'll probably never see the outside of a jail cell again though. He should have fun in prison, child molesters generally aren't well liked in there either.

Give him a life sentence and throw him in general population.

isn't this entrapment?

lolno
He was already in the market for a hitman before police were involved at all. They just got conclusive evidence of what he was planning.

I see....I read it as the DA Inspector came up to the dude out of the blue and offered his "services" to fix his "car" problems...that's what I get for reading only the bolded parts

No, an informant caught wind of what the guy was planning and told his handlers.

What a psycho. I mean, beyond the reprehensibility of his actions, in what world would the death of a few of his victims get him off?
 
7 times out of 10 that hitman you're trying to hire is an undercover cop, other times it's a FBI agent

Good that he's going to get more time for this
 
What a fucking idiot. Did he think nothing will happen if 3 of his victims turned up dead? That law enforcement will look at that and think that's normal and wont investigate it further?
