Contract killing is a form of assassination, in which one party hires another party to kill a target individual or group of people. It involves an illegal agreement between two parties in which one party agrees to kill the target in exchange for consideration, monetary or otherwise. The hiring party may be a single person, a group of people, a company, or any other kind of organization. The hired party may also be one person, such as a hitman, or a group of people, or an organization. In the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other countries, a contract to kill a person is void, meaning that it is not legally enforceable. Any contract to commit an indictable offense is not enforceable. Furthermore, both the actual killer and the person who paid the killer can be found guilty of murder. In some U.S. jurisdictions with capital punishment, a contract killing may be a special circumstance that allows for a murder to be tried as a federal crime. Contract killing provides the hiring party with the advantage of not having to be directly involved in the killing. This makes it more difficult to connect that party with the murder. Throughout history and in many different parts of the world, contract killing has been associated with organized crime and also vendettas. For example, in recent United States history, the gang Murder, Inc., which committed hundreds of murders in the 1920s to the 1940s on behalf of the National Crime Syndicate, is a well-known example of a contract killer.

Q. How long does it take for Hepatitis C to kill you if you contract it today? Asked by spike - Sun Jun 22 20:28:11 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. For many people it won't kill them, just make them fatigued & achy & lower their quality of life some. Others it may kill them eventually, but it depends on a lot of variables: lifestyle (if you drink, your liver will fail much quicker. Same for drug use; OTC as well as prescriptions & street drugs). Diet, age, race, also play a part in how you'll fare with hep c. Unfortunately, there is no formula to follow, so everyone with hep c should be cautious, eat healthy, no drinking or drugs unless prescribed by a knowledgable doctor. And get vaccinated against Hep A & B so your liver will not be under a double attack. Hope this helps.
