This criminal is getting off lightly:
A former Houston physician serving a decade in federal prison for bilking millions from insurance companies admitted Thursday that he plotted to kill the lawyer who prosecuted the case.
Ira Klein is charged with orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot against his sixth wife and retaliating against the FBI agent and federal prosecutor who handled his health fraud criminal case.
Klein, 62, pleaded guilty Thursday to threatening to kill Assistant U.S. Attorney Samuel Louis. Under a plea deal, the doctor is required to serve 30 months in federal prison, though 18 of those will be rolled into his current term.
His intended victims are probably still suffering from emotional distress.
