Perhaps most troubling -- cops say Graziano wanted her killed in an automobile accident. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graziano allegedly paid for the hit with $1,100 cash, a $1,000 personal check and a $13.06 gift card to Westshore Pizza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The arrest is the culmination of a two-and-half month long undercover investigation by the Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigative Division. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debra's attorney released this statement: \"She is saddened by all of this. She can't believe so much tragedy can strike one family. Her main purpose is concentrating on John getting better.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
