It's pretty clear how this is going to turn out. Predictable.

How surprising and gratifying it is to see this progress toward justice. I had given up hope, but the investigators, to their great credit, did not.
The news conference was essentially a statement that no further information will be forthcoming for a while. I presume that the investigators hope to convince someone to confirm the identity of the person who hired the killer.

Can anyone shed some light on why in the h€|| the judge unsealed the affidavit without so much as allowing the local PD the opportunity to protest? Isn't that standard protocol? It was sealed only a week ago and for obvious reasons. Smells a bit like sabotage.
