Life Sentences for Carjacking That Killed | Albany News

A married couple, Nicholas and Jamie Orsini, have been sentenced to life in prison for a chilling carjacking that led to death and conspiracy — tied directly to the murder of Jamie’s ex-husband, Steven Kraft. The prosecution unveiled a meticulously planned cover-up: burner phones, GPS tracking, surveillance footage, Home Depot receipts for disposal tools, and a suspicious trip to Amsterdam. Kraft vanished after dropping off his kids at the Orsinis’ Beacon home for custody — and the evidence painted a damning picture. After a grueling legal battle since their arrest in 2023, the couple avoided the death penalty but now face life behind bars. The FBI acknowledged the profound grief left by Kraft’s family — a case that exposes the brutal cost of violence and the lengths some will go to erase their crimes.
