Narcy Novack and her brother Cristobal Veliz were found guilty in connection with the plot to kill both her husband, Ben Novack Jr., and her mother-in-law, Bernice Novack, heirs to the Fontainebleau hotel fortune. Narcy, 55, who was not present for the verdict, was convicted on 12 of the 13 counts against her, and her brother was convicted on 14 of 15 counts. The verdict was announced in U.S. District Court in White Plains, N.Y., where the 9-week trial was held. Narcy still faces a likely life sentence and almost certainly will lose all rights to her husband’s $10 million estate, ending her lavish, rags-to-riches lifestyle. The plot began in April 2009, when Veliz, 58, hired two Miami men to stalk and then attack 86-year-old Bernice Novack, whose death was initially ruled accidental. At first, her son, Ben Novack Jr., thought it was an accident, but then he became suspicious. Before he could act on those suspicions, however, he was bludgeoned to death at a New York hotel where he and his wife had been attending a convention for his Fort Lauderdale-based company, Convention Concepts Unlimited.
