How does prosecution prove the payment was connected to the hitman and not the weed?

Seems like they'd need to seize the hitman's digital communications, at which point the jig is probably already up.

It's "beyond a reasonable doubt," not "beyond all doubt."

Evidence.

A grand jury must look through the evidence and conclude that there is enough there to possibly result in a conviction.
