Teddy Bear Paradise, formerly known as Denise O'Neal, has been ordered to spend nearly two years in jail for that conviction.

According to prosecutors, she also told Secret Service Agents that if she couldn’t carry out the murder alone, she would pay someone else to do it.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Gray Miller issued her a 21-month prison sentence followed by a supervised release for the duration of three years.
O’Neal is currently in police custody, but she will be transferred to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility. It has not yet been determined which one she will be sent to.
