How Not To Get Rid of A Prosecutor

Of all the ways to get rid of a prosecutor, this is not one of them:

A scorned Denver woman, who police say was working as an escort, now is in jail, accused of trying to have her ex-husband, a Pitkin County prosecutor, killed....On Saturday, Dvir allegedly offered an undercover police officer posing as a hit man $2,000 to kill her former husband, Richard Nedlin, court records say.

...."If the body disappeared that's fine, but I'd prefer it to look like an accident, like stuff his body with cocaine, like an overdose," Dvir said, according to the affidavit. "It's got to be done in a very smart way. I just don't want it to backfire on me."

The couple are in midst of a messy custody battle. Ms. Dvir is entitled to the presumption of innocence and I'm somewhat skeptical because she was set up by a jailhouse snitch, but the charge alone is not likely to go over well in divorce court. And it's definitely not the way to beat your opponent in court.

    I doubt $2000 will get you anywhere near the amount of cocaine you would need to make that look like an accidental overdose.  Drugs and a murder for $2000?  She was just asking to be snitched on, if any of it is true.

    around the DA's office until the prosecutor gives up and goes home might work:)

      $2000 is more than enough to purchase a lethal dose of cocaine.  The better point is to be skeptical of $2000 hit men whom you meet through the jailhouse network.
