Former Fairbanks chiropractor sentenced in murder-for-hire plot
A federal judge sentenced a former Fairbanks chiropractor to 17 years in prison on Wednesday for soliciting the murders of two federal law enforcement officers and a witness, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Guy Christopher Mannino, the 57-year-old from Fairbanks, tried to hire his jailhouse friend to do the killings while he was imprisoned at the Fairbanks jail on weapons charges, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office.
Prosecutors said Mannino wanted to retaliate against an FBI agent and an agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and he also wanted to prevent the witness from testifying against him, the Associated Press reported earlier this year.
A grand jury had indicted Mannino in August 2013 for felony charges related to the unlawful possession and transfer of banned weapons, including a machine gun and silencers, said the statement.

FAIRBANKS—A Fairbanks man was sentenced to 17 years in prison Wednesday for soliciting the murder of two federal agents and a witness involved in a 2013 federal case against him.
Guy Christopher Mannino, 57, was charged with trying to hire jailhouse friend Julius "J.T." Chambers to kill his public defender, an FBI agent, a government witness and two Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents.
A Fairbanks federal jury in February acquited Mannino of soliciting the murder of the public defender and one ATF agent but found him guilty of the other three charges.
All five were involved in a 2013 case in which Mannino was charged with six counts of illegal transfer and possession of weapons for trying to hire a friend to kill a local attorney who was representing an opponent in a lawsuit. Mannino, a firearms dealer and explosives expert, thought he was going to lose that case, so he offered to give his friend several illegal weapons as payment for the hit.
