    Firstly, fuck this person and everyone else involved.

    Secondly, she was a supportive witness that likely helped to get other convictions. She might be the reason that any money is recovered.

    Thirdly, if the sentence for a crime gets too high, murdering the people who can rat you out becomes the best strategy. Dead people don’t take the stand. It’s why certain awful crimes, like assaulting children, seem to have too light of a sentence.
