He’d already been serving time for drug trafficking, but this new conviction runs consecutively. Grady helped a woman set up a $250,000 accidental death policy on her fiancé, Charles Harris III, ensuring the payout if he was killed during a robbery — which happened exactly as planned. Harris was gunned down in his home, and the shooters remain at large. The woman cashed in over $224,000 — and Grady’s wife allegedly received a $110,000 cashier’s check from the payout. Grady now faces charges for conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, aiding and abetting, and money laundering — proving that even behind bars, you can still be held accountable for masterminding deadly schemes.
