Bahamas judge revokes bail for US beauty queen accused in murder plot of ex-NFL husband

A judge in the Bahamas has revoked bail for accused Lindsay Shiver making plans to hire a hitman to kill her former husband, ex-NFL player Robert Shiver, with the help of her alleged Bahamian lover.

Judge Cheryl Grant-Thompson reportedly revoked bail for Linsday Shiver, 37, and Terrance Bethel, 30, due to their recent publicity about the case, according to the Caribbean outlet Loop news.

Grant-Thompson called Lindsay’s recent interview on “Good Morning America” ​​a “blatant disregard for the court’s leniency and permissiveness.”

Owen Wells, Shiver’s attorney based in Nassau, confirmed to Fox News Digital that Shiver is back in jail the Bahamas. He was unable to comment further on Tuesday morning due to ongoing legal proceedings.

Shiver, along with her lover, Bethel, and alleged assassin, Faron Newbold Jr., were arrested in the Bahamas in July 2023. They pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The chills reached a boiling point after 13 years of marriage, evidenced by the divorce filings, with Robert accusing Lindsay of having an affair, and Lindsay responding with accusations of “physical and mental cruel treatment”, including accusations of domestic violence.

They both want primary custody of their children and exclusive use of their $2.5 million home in Georgia.

In December last year, Grant-Thompson released Lindsay, who has three children, on $100,000 bail and allowed her to travel back to the United States under certain conditions, which Shiver apparently broke with her TV interview.

“This cannot and will not be tolerated. What respondents have done may be viewed by the applicant as a spit in the face of justice,” Grant-Thompson wrote in a filing Monday, according to Loop News.

“The applicant has submitted that this could influence the views of the potential jurors who intend to participate in this trial. This could therefore potentially have consequences for the administration of justice. Had it been the other way around, counsel would have of the Crown can go its own way.” If they were to make unnecessary comments to the international media, respondents would likely be ‘in the fray’.”

Shiver’s attorneys reportedly argued that she had not violated her prison terms, which the judge disagreed with.

“It was clearly stated that if Ms. Shiver wished to travel or move outside of the designated area, her first step should be to contact the court and request permission,” the judge wrote in her ruling, adding that her decision to grant bail The move was also to get Shiver “out of harm’s way” after another boyfriend tried to “strangle and suffocate her with a pillow” in Alabama, according to Loop News.

In bodycam footage previously obtained by Fox News Digital, Lindsay called 911 Robert on July 16, 2023after he refused to let her hitch a ride on their private jet to meet her lover the Bahamas.
