Just scanning the news. A lawyer's wife was offed in her driveway.

"Horowitz was the lawyer for former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko in a multicount money-laundering and fraud trial. In May, a judge threw out half of the convictions against Lazarenko, who is under house arrest at an undisclosed location in the Bay Area.
Currently, he is defending Susan Polk, accused of murder in the 2002 stabbing death of her psychologist husband in the pool house of their Orinda home, a trial that has gained national media attention. Polk's husband was her therapist when she was a teenager, and she claims she killed him in self-defense.
Horowitz also represented Steve Williams, the man who snagged Barry Bonds' 700th home run ball, in a lawsuit to determine who could keep the ball. "

Gosh, former PM, screwed up chick, and baseball. Guess which offed his wife? (Hint, Eastern Euro
folks play nasty.. got dioxin?)
