Man hopes jail means no support paymentsTORONTO (Reuters) - A Toronto-area man, already serving a four-year sentence for plotting to kill his ex-wife to get out of paying child and spousal support, is now using his incarceration as an excuse to avoid the payments. Ronald Schulz pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiracy to commit murder, admitting he hired a hitman to break his ex-wife's neck. The "hitman" was in fact an undercover police officer, and Schulz ended up in prison.
In court this week, however, Schulz argued he still can't pay for support due to his incarceration, an argument that his ex-wife's lawyer called the ultimate in audacity.
"Chutzpah is the expression," said Marvin Kurz, who is representing the intended victim Sheryl Janssen. "It's like the child who kills the parents and then throws himself at the mercy of the court because he's an orphan... that's really what he did," he told Reuters Tuesday.
