Speaking of, I just ran across this, i don't remember it. Was going to be the seahawk GM until this little complication. They gave the job to Tom Flores
In 1989, sports agent and interim Seattle Seahawks general manager Michael Blatt was charged with masterminding the murder-for-hire of his business associate, real estate agent Laurence Carnegie, who was killed with a crossbow. After two separate trials resulted in hung juries, Blatt walked free and was never convicted.

How many franchises can claim their gm had a guy killed with a crossbow? How cool is that, and you thought Arnold was a hard case

I wouldn't be surprised if this happens to some Mariner fan after watching this team this season:
If the Boones are the First Family Of Baseball, the Bergens are the Last Family Of Baseball. Holy shit, the worst hitter of all time AND a psychopath who murdered his family. Man, imagine something like that today, Cal Raleigh crab-walking through the Mariners' clubhouse, slapping Randy Arozarena, dodging Logan Gilbert's pitches and telling the home plate umpire that someone on the roof at T-Mobile Park was pointing a sniper rifle at him.

Good thing they didn't have AR-15s back in Bergen's day, if dude wanted to go on a comparable rampage he would have had to wheel a Gatling Gun into the town square.
