So you think what applies to politicians won’t on you? That’s the mistake Tonia Mullins made, attempting to hire a hitman to kill his lover’s wife, forgetting that sending text messages create a record of conversation
Don’t care who as long as they can in no way be traced 2 me or u guys through someone else,” the 32-year-old Oklahoma woman texted a would-be intermediary. “Price is going 2 be the big factor here. What r we lookin at?
Real ironic, wanting the whole transaction to be untraceable, don’t you think? Ms. Mullins wanted the wife of Michael Andrew Crawford dead. The plan was to collect Jacinda Crawford’s $250,000 policy for a future together.
So much for that. Look at Mullins’ mugshot! Is she sorry for committing conspiracy to commit murder? Or is kicking herself for being really stupid? A commenter on Wired.com said it quite nicely:
IN CASE YOU DUMBASS CRIMINALS (even you smarty little computer/phone geeks) HAVEN’T FIGURED IT OUT YET, THEY CAN MONITOR INTERNET & PHONE TRANSMISSIONS AND YOU ALWAYS GET CAUGHT.
What makes these idiots think they can get away with this crap?
You have a better chance of getting away with a crime if you spend a lot less time providing the authorities with a paper trail.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. If you’re gonna do the crime, make sure you don’t make it easy for the good guys to make you do the time!
