Overview
- Lisa Hochstein, who surrendered Wednesday at Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight jail, was booked, pleaded not guilty, and was released on her own recognizance.
- A judge’s order called for release without undue delay, yet jail records and TMZ show she remained in a cell about six hours without food before being freed.
- Prosecutors charge Hochstein and former partner Jody Glidden with one felony count each for intercepting conversations between March 12 and March 31, 2023.
- An affidavit reports 98 recovered recordings, including audio of the device being installed with Hochstein allegedly saying “done,” and notes Glidden bought two identical recorders months earlier.
- Florida requires all parties to consent to recordings, and a legal expert says a conviction on the third-degree felony could bring up to five years in prison; Glidden has pleaded not guilty and Hochstein’s arraignment is set for April 20, against the backdrop of the ex-couple’s bitter divorce finalized in 2024.
