From the Department of "Was that form of exit strategy written into our partnership agreement?" comes this story from the Chicago Tribune of an Illinois business partnership gone wrong.  Apparently, the home rehab business -- started by two friends -- was experiencing financial difficulties.  It seems that one partner wanted to take out more money to fund her wanna-be lifestyle.  When the other balked, she was brutally stabbed.  The attacker-partner was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
