So, I’m thinking about hiring hitmen. (Not me, personally.) Recently, a woman who was a mother going to school at IUPUI to study crime scene investigation hired a hitman to kill her soon-to-be ex-husband. It was quite planned out: $1500 up front, and $1500 when the job was finished. (She was supposedly using her student loan money to pay for the hit.) She met the hitman in a park to set up the plan, giving him detailed schedules with directions and photos. When she met with the hitman again, it was so that the hitman could tell her that the job was done. However, there was a huge surprise: he wasn’t a hitman at all. He was an undercover cop. And the whole reason for the hit? She didn’t want him to get custody of their 3-year-old child. Well, as prosecutor Carl Brizzi says, the irony of the situation is that now she won’t get any custody. I guess the woman’s boyfriend told the husband about the hit, and he alerted the necessary people. She’s a dummy. I hope she gets a long time in prison. Here she is, not wanting her husband to get custody (maybe because her husband was once charged with battering his wife, but was aquitted), but it’s her that’s the crazy one in the relationship. It’s all about how selfish she is. She was only thinking about herself because if it was really about her child, she wouldn’t have done that. No matter how much she couldn’t stand her husband, that is still her child’s father. Now she has a long time to think about the impact of her selfishness on her child and her husband. What was she thinking? How is she going to explain this to your child? Oh, I’m sorry, honey, I tried to put a hit out on your father, but my plans were foiled. If it wasn’t for my meddling boyfriend, I would’ve gotten away with it.
