It's a grim outlook. I think he has yet to be tried on the hitman allegations, i'm assuming that's life on it's own?
That is a separate trial, though attempting to hire someone to kill people doesn't usually get life though it's just as serious in my opinion. There was a case a year or so ago about the lead singer of As I Lay Dying attempting to hire someone to kill his wife and he only got six years
