A Florida man pleaded guilty to planning a double-homicide, one he had hoped to blame on the Black Lives Matter movement.

Daniel Slater, 51, of Palm Beach County, Fla., elocuted in a Fort Lauderdale federal district court that he had met with someone to plan the murder of his ex-girlfriend and her husband. The identity of his co-conspirator was not revealed.

Among the revealed details of his plan, Slater said he instructed his accomplice which windows of the couple’s home to shoot through as well as instructions to spray-paint “Black Lives Matter” on the house.

In return, Slater told his accomplice he would forgive a debt she owed to him. The two also discussed involving a third party.

Neither of the murders were carried out. Slater faces 10 years in prison.
