Imprisoned rabbi feels 'rage'
Rabbi Fred Neulander tells ABC's Barbara Walters in an interview scheduled to air April 11 that he feels enraged that he is spending the rest of his life in prison for a crime he insists he had nothing to do with. "You have no idea how much rage I have,” Neulander told Walters during an interview taped at a New Jersey prison. Neulander was convicted in November of hiring hit man Len Jenoff, who along with an accomplice killed Neulander's wife of 28 years in 1994. Neulander also expressed his disappointment and hurt over the fact that two of his three adult children testified him against him.
Hit men get 23 years
Leonard Jenoff and Paul Daniels, who confessed to fatally beating Carol Neulander at the request of her husband, Rabbi Fred Neulander, were each sentenced Thursday to 23 years in prison. While Neulander is currently serving a life sentence for contracting the murder, Daniels and Jenoff will be eligible for parole in seven years.
