Long story short. D.A. prosecuted judge for theft. Judge loses job. His wife loses his mind, and apparently took out hits on the Assistant D.A. and the D.A. in retaliation. I gotta say it was more believable when it was a drug hit. But, as they say, truth is strager than fiction, because fiction has to be believable. The truth has no such restrictions.
Update suggests that the defrocked JP himself made the hits, and wifey dearest just drove the getaway car.
Nice couple. "The family that slays together, stays together"?
