A couple tried to hire a hit man to kill their three grandchildren and daughter-in-law to stop them from testifying against their son in his rape trial, authorities said.
The couple, ages 60 and 59, were charged with four counts each of criminal conspiracy to commit murder. They were being held without bond.
Police said the pair initially offered $100 to an undercover sheriff's deputy to kill their son's wife, their 10-year-old granddaughter, two step-grandchildren, ages 14 and 16, and the family dog.

This would have been creepy, scary, and horrifying no matter what, but for God's sake, the dog can't testify anyway!
The kids are 16, 14, and 10 . . . They wanted someone to kill a ten year old! Their own ten year old granddaughter!
