Couple ordered hit on grandkids
TAVARES, Florida (AP) -- A couple tried to hire a hit man to kill their three grandchildren and daughter-in-law to stop them from testifying against their son in his rape trial, authorities said.
The couple, ages 60 and 59, were charged with four counts each of criminal conspiracy to commit murder. They were being held without bond.
Police said the pair initially offered $100 to an undercover sheriff's deputy to kill their son's wife, their 10-year-old granddaughter, two step-grandchildren, ages 14 and 16, and the family dog.
More money was promised after the killings, said Lake County sheriff's Sgt. Christie Mysinger.
The couple's 31-year-old son has been jailed since November on 22 charges of sexual battery on a child, lewd and lascivious molestation and showing obscene material to a minor, court records show.
Detectives say his daughter and stepdaughter are the victims. The Associated Press has withheld the names of the grandparents and the family members to protect the children's identities.
The man tried to solicit a fellow jail inmate to kill his family, the arrest report said.
An informant told detectives about the plot and they arranged to meet the man's parents Tuesday at a Best Western motel in Tavares, a lakefront community about 30 miles northwest of Orlando, police said.
"(The deputy) said, 'You want me to kill everyone, including the dog?' They agreed," Mysinger said.
The son's attorney, Peter Sartes, said he had no details on the parents' arrest. It was not clear who was representing them.
I've heard about parents doing whatever they can to help their children in a moment of crisis, but this is ludicrous!! And by the way, what did the dog do?

Some parents just can't reconcile they have POS children.
The dog too? What a twisted family, and especially to want their own grandchild dead. Total definition of the in-laws from hell.DSD wrote:

If I had to guess, given the obvious intelligence of the parents, they probably watched too many of those bean commercials with the dog who could talk. They were concerned the dog would be an instrumental witness in the case, and provide pertinent testimony.
For $100?
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
Sh[Aqua][/Aqua]it, that's $20 per kill. You'd be better off working at Wendy's for that.

Or robbing one, for that matter.

Instrumental witness?
Lawyer:Okay, Sparky, can you show the court what the defendant was doing? Let the record show that Sparky is humping the legs of both accusers. Case closed.

To be fair, I've known dogs that I'd kill for less than a twenty. Maybe Fido was a gimme.

The dog was also one of the victims. 
Grandma takes a lovely picture.
Yeah, he was real good with kids.

The daughter-in-law, Karen Jackson, was shocked to hear about the plan to kill her, her children and pet dog, according to Local 6 News.
"I never saw this coming," Jackson said. "I loved (him) with all my heart. (He) was good to me and good to the kids. (He) was a nice guy, everybody's friend. (He was) like a Ted Bundy charmer. He has to be a psychopath."

Getting to kill the dog was probably part of the payment.

Interesting that the first article doesn't list names to protect the children's identities, but the second plasters them all over the place. Guess it's not that important after all...
The lesson here? If you're looking to hire a hitman, and someone shows up offering to do an entire family for $100, he's probably an undercover cop. At least that's what I'm walking away from this with...

Considering that you slaughter baby bunnies without being paid a dime, I'm not surprised to hear this.
Can anyone say white trash?

I bet the kids' macaroni art stank. They probably didn't even have a cute lisp.
