Paul Medici is a fashion designer closely involved with the activities of the Bergeron family department store business.
History[]
Medici was suing the chain for representation of his designs in a fashion he hoped for authority over, down to which of the locations his creations were exhibited in. One thing led to another, and he also had an affair with one of the business’ CEOs, Kate Bergeron-Spiegel. As Kate was married to CFO Richard Spiegel and had children she feared she’d lose and alimony she didn’t want to pay, she conspired with her sister Laura to kill Richard, as Laura was near running the business into the ground from her poor financial management.
Medici was tracked and questioned, and his lawsuit and affair left him a suspect. But when the murder weapon was tied to the family, he was cleared of suspicion. (L&O: "Family Business")
