RentAHitman.com was set up by an IT professional in 2005 as part of a class project to snag people looking to hire contract killers.

Bob Innes, the owner behind the fake website, immediately contacted state police, who sent an undercover detective posing as a hitman...

One would expect such a website to be handled by glowies, but they are obviously too busy tracking parents who complain to school boards about their children being raped.

The glowies thought that was too obvious a honeypot.

If her ex has the same level of intelligence as her, then he didn't steal $20k from her, but sent it to a Nigerian prince in an email.

She should go to jail for being stupid. Who would think that is a real legit site?

Probably the same people who think the incognito tab makes them invisible to the NSA, and deleting their search history means Google can't see it.

"You think somebody would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?"

Fun fact- If you got to a site named 'illegal thing for hire.com' you're gonna get arrested.

No standards. Real criminals use Facebook and Twitter with little blue checkmarks by their names, posting openly about kidnapping people and sending them to "covid" camps, or strong-arming businesses until they close mafia-style, or giving false statements of endorsement to people and the products of people who slept with them.

This leads me a thought I've had in the past. What is the legality of hiring someone to kill you? Would it still be classified as murder if it was consensual?

Covid gave them free reign to basically delay trials indefinitely and most of the country would applaud them for it. Its been offhandedly mentioned a bunch of times and nobody seems to want to open the can of worms by talking about it in depth.

And you know if the charges were dropped none of them would be paid back for it.

Moral of the story: don't get taken alive for any reason.

Defendants have to ask for a speedy trial. Often times the defense wants time to build the case and the courts give them that right. Often because the defendant is poor and the defense just does it as something to fill the time between better paying clients. Jail is also arguably better than prison, but still counts as time served.

There likely isn't any special legal system fuckery in this particular case.

Let me repeat: The defendant can ask for more time to build the case. The state may grant this request.

In Poland you can be temporary arrested for 3 months.

Afterwards, the court can prolong it for another 3 months.

...

It can go on for a while. It is called "extractive arrest" and it is meant to get suspect to admit when there is no evidence. It can go over 4 years and even some outliers are 9 or 12 years.
