For those who don't know: Police: 3 Murder-For-Hire Plots Hatched In Jail
6:23 p.m. EDT June 2, 2006 TAVARES, Fla. - As many as three murder-for-hire plots have been hatched in one local jail. The jail is in Lake County, and WESH 2 News has obtained a tape of a grandmother allegedly hiring a hitman in a hotel room to kill her daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Police said the woman's husband was also part of the plot, and it was actually initiated in jail by the couple's son because his family was about to testify against him in a sexual battery case. The two people accused in that case are Robert and Versie Jackson. Two other men -- Jeffery Roden and Daniel King -- are accused of plotting two separate murder-for-hires. ... He admits to talking badly about his 5-year-old stepdaughter and his wife, but he denies he wanted them dead. King is accused of offering to pay an inmate more than $5,000 to kill his stepdaughter. She's expected to testify against him in an upcoming sexual battery trial. ... This week, Lake County investigators have charged four people in three different murder-for-hire plots. It's never happened before.
Is it a coincidence this is in Florida where Jessica's Law passed? If it is a new trend, how can anyone claim it is for the protection of children? With only about 50 of these a year they would surpass the average number of child sexual killings.
