MD: Protective order precursor to murder: As bad as it gets

[seamusTX]

In December 2009, a woman living in Dundalk, Maryland, (Baltimore area) accused her husband of domestic violence and got a protective order against him. The police dutifully disarmed him.

In May 2010 he was shot dead outside a bar that he owned.

His wife and three male accomplices, including her brother, are charged with murder. The adults could be charged with capital murder. Two 19-year-old involved could be sentenced to life in prison without parole if found guilty.

Weird mug shot.

Unusual quotation from neighbor: "We all said it, that we thought she did it."

The two nineteen-year-olds were paid $300 and $100, respectively, for their roles in the crime.

Life is cheap in some areas of the world. I didn't realize it could be that cheap anywhere in this country.

Total lack of conscience due to neglectful parenting. Too many video games. Drugs. Your guess is as good as mine.
