There were better murders. He's paying for all the drug trade he facilitated. Given the current opiod crisis, maybe he deserves it. Maybe a few drug company ceos deserve it too.

I haven't been following this closely. Was he actually charged for anything murder related?
No, he wasn't. Everyone keeps parroting the FBI's claim without any evidence. I strongly suspect the entire murder-for-hire story was either completely fabricated, or construed to kill any sympathy there may be for him in the public eye.
You are wrong

Here's the indictment: https://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/releases/2013/131002baltimor...

That indictment is referenced here: http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isysquery/b4f95197-e15... at footnote 15

That motive doesn't really make sense. A huge conspiracy to frame someone for a crime who was already going to get life?
"I strongly suspect the entire murder-for-hire story was either completely fabricated, or construed to kill any sympathy there may be for him in the public eye."

Incredible.

>Incredible.

Penetrating insight.

Charged but not convicted.
