FAYETTEVILLE -- A Lincoln woman accused of hiring a hitman to kill her estranged husband had her case in Washington County Circuit Court delayed Monday.

Jamie Lee Cianflone, 48, of 312 W. Pridemore Drive was arrested in September 2014 in connection with felony solicitation to commit capital murder.

Cianflone thought she was hiring a hitman to kill her estranged husband, who lives in Florida, but the hitman was an undercover detective who was wearing a recording device, according to an arrest report.

Cianflone was appointed a new lawyer after the Washington County public defender's office said it couldn't represent her because of a conflict because the office is representing a witness in a related case. Judge Mark Lindsay reset the case to Nov. 9 to give the defense more time to prepare.

Cianflone is being held at the Washington County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond.
