Student Arrested In Murder For Hire Plot

When a relationship ends, get over it:

A 17-year-old Pasadena student has been arrested and charged with plotting to have a 15-year-old classmate killed. Pasadena police arrested the Sam Rayburn High School student Wednesday after he met with a law enforcement officer posing as a hitman.

Police said Thomas Moses Ramirez wanted the girl dead because he believed she was instrumental in his breakup with a former girlfriend. The investigation revealed that Ramirez wanted the intended victim to be shot, stabbed or strangled in exchange for $150 and a small amount of drugs.

Houston Doctor Admits To Murder Plot

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.
