Yep, deep doo-doo, but can't you just imagine prosecution using Skeeter and Dirty to testify that they killed Laci because Scott paid them to do it? I really don't think Scott would have paid them with a personal check.

Maybe the reason for the secret mailbox was to put the cash payment into so there would be no paper trail. He seemed to be able to round up quite a bit of cash when needed!! One other thing that is devestating to his case is the OBVIOUS attempt to change his appearance and then getting another car registered to a different name, a passport in his brother's name and "another passport application" in yet another name. Not to mention his wad of cash.

Oh, I dunno... with Scott's IQ, I think he might've paid them with a check. ("Okay, here ya go guys, hey, don't cash my check till Friday, 'kay?")

I don't think there is such a thing as a hit man who ISN'T a slimebag. And think of all the hired-killing cases that have been won--and each of those must have contained testimony from a slimebag. And other, non-murder cases, too, in which the only witnesses were slimebags, perhaps b/c the crime took place in a druggie neighborhood, or whatever.
