A New Jersey political consultant has been sentenced to 24 years in federal prison for arranging the murder of a colleague.
U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey is seen ahead of the sentencing on a conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire charge for Sean Caddle, Thursday, June 29, 2023. Caddle admitted to hiring two hitmen who later killed Michael Galdieri in 2014. A New Jersey political consultant who had two hitmen kill a colleague for $15,000 was sentenced to 24 years in federal prison on Thursday.
Caddle, who had been out of prison on house arrest, was led away by U.S. Marshals after the hearing. He appeared before the judge in an untucked button-down shirt and khakis. He didn't speak, following the advice of his lawyer Edwin Jacobs, other than to tell the judge he wasn't going to comment. The case captured attention when prosecutors announced Caddle's guilty plea in early 2022, apparently solving the mysterious death of Galdieri, the son of a former state senator, eight years earlier. Former Democratic state Sen. Raymond Lesniak, for whom Caddle worked for years, called it the “most bizarre thing I've ever experienced in my life."
Bratsenis told authorities that he went to work for Caddle, who invited him to his Jersey City home for dinner in March or April of 2014. Caddle told him he was aware of his “extensive” criminal history and asked if he could find someone to commit murder for $15,000, Bratsenis said. A day later, Bratsenis and Caddle met in the parking lot of a diner where Caddle paid him the remaining money. He didn't bring enough initially, however, and had to withdraw more from the bank account of his political consulting business, prosecutors said.
