An Arizona woman and wife of a US Air Force employee has admitted to poisoning her husband by repeatedly pouring a liquid he said was bleach into a coffee machine.
Melody Felicano Johnson was arrested in August and charged with attempting to murder Roby Johnson. She had filed for divorce but they still lived together while the process was finalized: he noticed his coffee tasted odd, and began to suspect she was trying to kill him to claim his life insurance policy.
On Monday, Johnson pleaded guilty to two charges of poisoning food or drink, admitting to putting the bleach in her husband's coffee pot on July 11 and July 18 of last year.
Johnson faces sentencing on May 10 and could get as long as four years in prison, though her sentence could be limited to time served, according to 13 News.
Roby Johnson put a series of hidden cameras inside their home, and the footage was obtained on Friday by ABC News.
