By Associated Press Reporter PUBLISHED: 17:35 EST, 16 January 2013 | UPDATED: 18:16 EST, 16 January 2013 An Ohio man hatched a plot to kill a woman he was in a home-ownership dispute with, authorities say, by approaching an emergency room patient at the renowned hospital where he worked as a nurse with the question, "Ever killed anyone?" No, the Cleveland Clinic patient replied, but I once shot a man. That was good enough, authorities say, for nurse Andrew Martin, 23, who allegedly tried to resolve the dispute by offering the patient $10,000 to kill the woman, who was never hurt.
