[CO] Poor Heather - executed wife of Officer Garraus

I never say "hate," but I hate this case. I'll be glad when I hit "publish" and can go on to something else. The only decent person in this maggot nest of criminal and or slutty law folks is the one told to get on her knees to be shot. Killed.

Poor Heather.

Heather's police officer husband was sexing up a deputy's wife (who was also a dispatcher) who ended up having the police officer's baby. The deputy's wife sleeping with Heather's cop husband decided to kill Heather. The murderer to-be had a friend - a former deputy herself - who helped the deputy's wife plan the execution-style murder of Heather, including offering her cop forensic wisdoms about how to hide the evidence and set it up. The murder happened as Heather left work. The murderer's deputy husband also is charged with trying to mess with the evidence. That's all enough to make anyone sick.

Poor Heather.
