FORT LAUDERDALE A Miramar woman was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in federal prison for trying to hire a hit man to kill her ex-husband.
Mercedes Morales, 58, talked about having her former spouse hacked to death with a chainsaw because she believed his betrayal led to her serving prison time for laundering drug money, according to court documents.
Her plan for revenge came unraveled when it turned out the man she thought would kill her ex-husband was a government informant.

Stupidity should be painful..
“Let’s see, I served prison time because I think my husband told someone I was laundering drug money .... so, how about I hire someone to cut him into small pieces with a chainsaw - no chance of more prison time there.....”.
I hope she didn’t reproduce; but I expect she passed her inferior genes on to another generation of the criminal element.

The man was more than likely a criminal who was looking to get current charges against him reduced by the DA.

Ladies, it never pays to go “cut rate” when hiring a hit man.....

To quote Pink Floyd:
“The evidence before the court is incontrovertible, there’s no need for the jury to retire!
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before someone more deserving of the full penalty of law!”

Talk about having an ironic last name.

A Miramar BURMESE woman. There, fixed it. Miramar is the name given the country by Muslim terrorists, whose brutal, facist, Muslim government is not recognized.

Hacked to death with a chainsaw ping Well, technically, only-planned-to-have-hacked-to-death-with-a-chainsaw ping.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Good grief. She looks like she tried to commit suicide with a chainsaw. Are we sure these charges are correct?

Remember, when "wet work" is called for, best do it yourself. Bringing in someone else only creates a witness against you.
