GUILTY GA - Lita Sullivan, 35, dies in contract killing, Atlanta, 16 Jan 1987

[BillyGoatGruff]

They had a journalist who had written an extensive piece on Sullivan back in the 1980s in SPY magazine (I remember reading it) and ha spent time with Sullivan, talking about what a piece of work this guy was/is. The word "sociopath" came up several times, as well as "stingy". The story of Sullivan being incredibly nasty to a waiter who brought him the wrong type of bread really resonated. The pedophile I had the displeasure of knowing, before his arrest, would routinely verbally abuse waiters & waitresses, anyone he viwed as being "beneath" him.

Contract killer who murdered beautiful Atlanta socialite released from prison

The man who shot and killed an Atlanta-area socialite in a murder-for-hire plot more than three decades ago has been freed after serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Harwood pleaded guilty in 2003 to killing 35-year-old socialite Lita McClinton Sullivan in January 1987. As part of the plea deal, Harwood was able to escape the possibility of a death sentence by testifying against Sullivan’s husband, millionaire James Sullivan.

James Sullivan, now 77, is serving a life sentence for murder at Macon State Prison. Investigators say James Sullivan paid Harwood $25,000 to kill Lita while the two were in the midst of a contentious divorce.
