Murder is NOT funny

But all murder aside, there are two things about this NYT article that made me crack a bizarre smile. One - the murderer's name is Mazoltuv, which sounds like it could be some Jewish kid's "hey-aren't-I-funny-and-clever" screen name (to be fair, she is Jewish). And second, this line:

“We are going to drink vodka,” said a cousin [of the deceased], Ilya Khaimov.

I don't know about you, but that's always my first reaction to a trial where a relative of mine is found guilty for hiring a hit man to kill her husband. Get blootered!

Good thing it's just in time for St. Patty's Day.
