Air Force Officer Pleads Guilty to Trying to Have Wife Killed
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBD7WRHKDE.html

LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AP) - A military lawyer accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill his wife by opening fire on her and others in her crowded office pleaded guilty Tuesday to attempted premeditated murder.

Air Force Capt. Barry Brown pleaded guilty before his trial was to begin on charges of attempting to arrange the slaying with the help of a paralegal he was having an affair with. His wife, Irene Brown, was not injured in the plot that surfaced in March when an informant contacted law officers.

"There was no justification, no excuse for the actions that I took," Brown told the judge. "I knew there were other options at the time. I weighed those options and chose poorly." snip

According to the statement, Brown suggested that the man open fire on his wife while she was at work at a Child Protective Services office in San Antonio. He suggested that the killing would be harder to trace if Irene Brown was one of several people killed.

2. "I . . . chose poorly"
Hmm, I wonder if Captain Brown would accept that excuse from a lieutenant?

Although, I say he should appeal his conviction and say that even though he was looking to hire a hit man, and he wanted the hit man to blaze away at his wife's office, he could say that he didn't mean that she should die. According to Judge Roberts, sitting in his confirmation hearing today, and the Washington Post, purveyors of falsehoods that they can't say are lies, that should be sufficient for him to walk if the prosecution can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Brown believed in his heart of hearts that such a course of action would result in his wife's death.
