An alleged hit man who police say was hired by an ex-California corrections officer in a murder-for-hire plot was sentenced to three years probation Monday. Bradley Beau Costill, 58, is accused of being recruited by Miguel Angel Corona, a military veteran and former corrections officer, to kill Christopher Schmall, the husband of the woman Corona was having an affair with. But the plan unraveled in the fall of 2021 when Clovis police became aware of the plot and arrested Corona and Costill. The men agreed to plea deals, but Judge James Kelley, rejected Corona's agreement and ordered he be put on trial.
