Lawyer's Secret Life Leads to Stunning Death

There's nothing like sex and murder to take one's mind off the economy, and today's story is perhaps one of the better scandals we've reported on.

A well-known attorney from prestigious law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison in New York City was shot to death near the Philadelphia home of his dominatrix girlfriend last night, The New York Post reports. Lawyer Anthony Ottaviano may have been a hotshot in the courtroom, but at the underground fetish parties he attended with girlfriend Edythe Maa (better known as Jade Vixen on the kink scene), he was more likely to be seen in a garter belt and heels than a power suit.

It seems Ottaviano had some competition for Maa's affections: tattooed bodybuilder David Krieg. Krieg, who likely saw Maa for her specialty of sissy slut training, belied his training by lying in wait for the pair as they returned to the dominatrix's apartment following a romantic dinner out in Philly. After shooting his rival in the parking lot, Krieg then kidnapped his mistress, holding her captive for hours before releasing her at a relative's home in West Chester.

Police quickly located Krieg's car and pulled him over, then watched as he blew his brains out after they tried unsuccessfully to talk him out of committing suicide.
