A potential plea deal has been put on hold in a suspected murder-for-hire-plot involving a former NYPD officer.

As News 12 has reported, former NYPD Officer Valerie Cincinelli, of Oceanside, was expected to plead guilty in court today as part of a plea deal.

However, Cincinelli’s attorney asked today's hearing be pushed back to March. 

Cincinelli is accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill her estranged husband and her boyfriend's daughter.

CIncinelli was ready to cut a deal last week. Part of that deal includes her guilty plea, but it is still unclear which charges she was expected to plead guilty to.
