    From the article:


    Gilbert testified earlier Tuesday that he had found Frago's escort ad on Craigslist and believed sex was included in her $150 fee. But instead, Frago walked around his apartment and after about 20 minutes left, saying she had to give the money to her driver, he said.

    That driver, the defense contended, was Frago's pimp and her partner in the theft scheme.

    One, it'd be fraud, not theft. He willingly handed the money over. Two, it sounds from this like he committed murder during the commission of another crime, for which you can get the death penalty. If the case is what it sounds like, I want that defense lawyer when I get into trouble! I'm trying to imagine a scenario in which this decision makes sense, and I'm coming up empty.

    I blame Rick Perry for this.
