Pretty crazy story

CHILLING video has emerged of a young wife trying to hire a hit man to murder her husband because it was 'easier than divorcing' him.
Julia Charlene Merfeld, 20, of Michigan in the US, has pleaded guilty to soliciting the murder of her 27-year-old husband.
An undercover police officer posing as a hit man secretly filmed two videos of Merfeld as they negotiated the killing while sitting in a car.
At one point Merfeld explains that in her opinion, murder would be "easier than divorcing" - she wouldn't have to worry about her family's judgment or "breaking his heart" if he was killed.
Both videos were played in court yesterday.
Police allege Merfeld wanted her husband's $400,000 life insurance policy and promised to pay $50,000 for the hit.
She will be sentenced on July 30.

Remember, unless you're in the CIA or are a mafia boss, you aren't really talking to a hitman.

Beware da wimminz!!!

I hope I don't marry a grinning murder-lady. I don't think I'd be very happy if the woman I loved had me killed. I mean I'd be dead so I don't think I'd be much of anything, but most especially not happy.

The part where she says that it's better because she doesn't have to worry about breaking his heart is disturbing in an epic level.

Presumably going for a head shot then

**Alfndrate**

I hear she likes batman...

Also the biggest redlight should have been the fact that the hitman, who was accepting a 50,000 payment, was okay with a 100 dollar down payment on husband murder!

**Easy E**

I also liked the part where she asked about what happens if he gets caught. Does she really believe that a "hired" hitman wouldn't squeal her out?

Everyone knows the best way to take care of a spouse/girlfriend is to take a cruise/private yacht and hav ethem "fall" overboard.

**wowsmash**

Looks like nobody told him he's supposed to bring home candy and ice cream at least once a month to keep living

Added to my list that suicide AND murder is what people choose when they have no imagination.

Hmmmm, I better check into this. My wife said I would only leave this relationship in a box. How well I behaved decided how small and how many.

Obviously the guy went for more danger and less play.

**ImotekhTheStormlord**

She clearly has no grasp of consequences.

**Monster Rain**

This is what happens when you look for hitmen on craigslist.

I wonder if she still thinks she took the "easier" route?

**DeathReaper**

I heard an interview on 97.9WLUP Chicago with the husband, he heard about the plot, and after his wife was arrested he went to celebrate at a Steakhouse.

He ordered his Steak and the waitress asked if he was concerned about the Mad Cow?

He responded, nope She is currently in Jail.

Whelp, she certainly made the divorce easier on her husband.
