A 22-year-old woman was arrested after authorities say she tried to hire someone to kill another woman whose photo appeared on her boyfriend’s MySpace.com Web page.
Heather Michelle Kane was booked Tuesday for investigation of conspiracy to commit murder, Mesa Detective Jerry Gissel said.
She was arrested after she met an undercover Mesa police detective at a grocery store, gave the officer $400 and offered to pay an additional $100 once the woman had been killed, according to court records.
The records say Kane gave the undercover officer photographs taken from her boyfriend’s social networking Web page of the woman she wanted killed.
She also requested a photo of the woman’s dead body.
Ah, yes — some folks continue to live in a narrow and demented world — even if it has a broadband connection.
They need to pay police officers more, so they don’t have to take extra jobs like that……
Walmart just announced a price drop on hit men.
I’m sure myspace will be blamed for this too. I’m not a big fan of the site, but the only thing it’s guilty of is being tacky.
It is a good thing that most criminals are morons. If you want anything done right you have to do it yourself.
Who’d trust a $500 hit man anyway?
She’ll get a year in jail.
If her boyfriend had tried to take out a hit on her, he’d get 30 years.
With 50 million users and these few incidents I would suggest that these online systems are statistically SAFER than old-fashioned in-person meet and greets. Wotsay?
That said, psychos are psychos and they are everywhere!

Back that bullshit up with some evidence please.
America… It’s such a horrid row to hoe for the lowly white man. When will the white man stop being the victim of such persecution?
$500, $500, this is beyond belief. Could there actualy be someone who would do that for $500.
I am glad she was caught.
#11 – Most of these low rent redneck murder for hire deals go down for sub-$1000 price tags.
Life, it seems, carries less value than we’ve been lead to believe.
It is redneck life we’re talking about, you know…
I heard they make Do Not Enter signs out of C4. Good lord!

Reminds me, I have BLACK MAN’S BURDEN on the DVR to watch.

Hyperbole, not BS. Being Friday, I didn’t go to a lot of trouble, and didn’t come up with any particularly meaningful stats but I tried.
I looked up everybody with the last name beginning with “A” currently serving time for murder in Florida prisons.
20 women, 40% serving life sentences. Of those not serving life sentences the average age at release will be 46.32 yrs old. (See, not REAL meaningful but incarceration date wasn’t available on the summary page so can’t easily find sentence length.)
398 men, 48% serving life sentences, 3.3% on death row. Of those not serving life sentences the average age at release will be 48.87 yrs old.
Certainly not too much disparity in those figures, but the sample is pretty small. Maybe I’ll work on it some more over the weekend, and see if I can write some little screen-scraper to get sentence length.
Might be interesting.

Only when women unshackle themselves from the bondage of their male oppressors will they have the empowerment they need to compete with their male counterparts on a level killing field.

That was meant to be funny
