I went to bed and didn't see your post on Oklahoma law. So in Oklahoma, you can be imprisoned for attempted murder if you hire a witch doctor...oooookay. Thanks for sharing. :-)

Good catch. But seriously, this is one of those cases in which "the law is a ass," as Dickens would say. I still can't imagine a jury bringing in a conviction.

Weird. What would be the penalty for hiring aliens to do the job? Seems like the same kind of thing.

Actually, per loin did some homework earlier in this thread and showed that you really can be prosecuted for hiring a hitman who vows to use a method that can't possibly work. The intent of the person hiring the hitman is what matters. I scoffed at his argument, but he has backed it up with a mess of legal citations. Just goes to show, you learn something every day.

Alas, per loin then lowered the tone of the discussion by making a racial comment and he's now on my bad list. (Bet he's trembling in his boots over that! Chuckle! ) Still, up to that point, he'd done an excellent job of changing my mind. Read his earlier citations and see.
