In the vast majority of murder-for-hire cases, the 'hitman' is an undercover cop, informant, ill-equipped amateur, or low-level criminal. Yet people keep trying.
Excellent piece. One small error, Wendi Adelson has been living in Austin with her boys, for the last year. Ironic, since the whole point of the murder was to enable her to live in Miami.
The point about moral disengagement struck home. The victim is seen as an object to be removed, not as a human being. Donna Adelson still thinks that about Dan Markel. He was an obstacle to her family's happiness not a human being and the father of her grandchildren.
The one that resonated with me was Jacquaeline “Jackie” Z. Williams (Good Sister, Bad Sister' Murder For Hire S1.E3) where she gave the undercover agent $50 "down payment" and promised the rest after insurance settled.
