What a Maroon! With Apologies to Bugs Bunny

Bonus points for creativity?  I don't think so.  A guy in New York came up with a "grizzly" plan to harm his ex-girlfriend.  He planned tokill a bear, skin it, then dress up in the bear carcass to attack the woman!  Are you laughing yet?  He figured the suit would guarantee there'd be no trace of his foot or fingerprints at the scene of the crime.  Uh-huh.  He soon realized his plan wasn't going to work, so he decided to hire a hit man.  His plot was uncovered before his ex could get hurt, though, and the man was arrested. At his trial, the man claimed he was drunk when he hatched the plan and would have stopped it once he sobered up.  Not sure that argument will have any BEARing on the case!
