Kor37 9 Posted January 23, 2008 Man Allegedly Offers Cop $5 for HitAP Posted: 2008-01-23 18:13:44 INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) - An man is accused of offering an undercover officer $5 and 90 pills of the painkiller Oxycotin to kill a woman. Robert Macklin, 35, faces one count of first-degree assault or one count of the alternative charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. He was charged Wednesday in Jackson County Circuit Court in Independence. According to court documents, Macklin's roommate called police after he repeatedly asked her to kill the girlfriend of a man with whom he once had a relationship. The roommate said Macklin wanted the girlfriend out of the way so the men could be together. Macklin was arrested Tuesday night after he reportedly gave the officer $5 as a down payment. Prosecutors have requested a $500,000 bond. Wow.......big spender....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted January 24, 2008 I was watching a program recently (don't recall what channel) on attempted hits where undercover police got people offering money to kill people. The cheapest example brought up was someone who offered $35 for a hit to be made. The officer said he could barely keep a straight face while being offered such a ridiculous amount to kill someone. The point made was that people get so desperate that they lose all sense of reality and just want to make their problem go away. Stupid and sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted January 24, 2008 The Oxycotin was the better deal. Those things go for $10-20 per pill..........don't ask me how I know this.....so all together, I guess he could have made almost $2000 for the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
