The Past Comes Back to Bite

The New York Post is reporting some spine tingling news: that the owner of the French Bulldog who won the Non-Sporting Group at the recent Westminster Kennel Club show in New York is the same person who helped a "low life hit man" kill one of the horses she used to train to garner the insurance money.

The woman in question is one Marion Hulick, age 75, who in a former life was a horse trainer in upstate New York. The incident in question involved one of the horses she trained for owner George Lindemann, Jr.

According to the Post, witnesses at Hulick's trial said "she met with the killer, Tommy Burns, offering him a $35,000 cut of the $250,000 insurance money to kill the show animal, Charisma, on Dec. 15, 1990."

I will spare you the gruesome details of the actual deed, but suffice it to say that Hulick served six month in federal prison for the crime. Regarding her past, Hulick said "it doesn't have anything to do with how I conduct my life." She now lives in Massachusetts with her husband, a dozen French bulldogs and about a dozen retired show horses.

Dare I wonder if any of those animals are insured?
