He was caught and convicted and sentenced to death. Wanting to profit from their loved one's murder, and realizing that the murderer himself was too poor to be worth suing, the family of those killed by the hit man sued Paladin Press, the publisher of the book Hit Man, saying Paladin Press "aided and abetted" the murder. May 21, 1999, Paladin Press settled the case, giving the families of those killed by the hit man several million dollars, agreeing to destroy the remaining 700 copies of the book in their possession, and surrendering any rights they have to publish and reproduce the work. While the families were successful in profiting from their loved one's death, they have not been successful in stifling the book. With the surrender of the publishing rights by Paladin Press, the book has entered the public domain, and is being published on the Internet
Just for fun...little known fact about this book. It was actually written by a housewife with absolutely no experience with guns, violence, murder. No military training, no law enforcement. Nothing. She simply wrote it up for a quick buck. This was revealed through the court cases involving this book. Paladin Press tried to keep her anonymous but eventually had to reveal her identity. lol
The description is slightly wrong on stating that Paladin settled out of court. It was Paladin's insurance company that figured it would be cheaper to offer cash than to defend the case in court.
