** Small town police departments usually don't have a lot of personnel, which is why Marge is doing field work even though she's also the chief. This isn't much of a problem since those communities usually don't have any serious crime problems. The fact that it's the chief that is taking the role of primary investigator shows just how small Brainard PD is.

Added DiffLines:
** The narrator of episode 9 actually acknowledges this, remarking that nobody is quite sure why [[spoiler: Hanzee]] went after Peggy and Ed. However, the most plausible explanation the narrator gives is that [[spoiler: Hanzee]] wanted to get rid of the two people that saw his 'true' self when he asked Peggy to [[spoiler: cut his hair after he killed Dodd]]. This was a moment of weakness for [[spoiler: Hanzee]], and he wanted to make sure nobody remained who could remember that brief moment he revealed his self-hatred.

** [[spoiler: It all depends on what the Minnesota prosecutor can prove and what the judge is willing to dish out. But given how they can effectively prove that she and Ed kidnapped Dodd and that he died while under their imprisonment, she could be liable to up to 40 years in prison maximum, going by Minnesota law at the time. However, her defense attorney may be able to talk the sentence down or the judge may be more lenient on her, so she may get a reduced sentence. However, all signs point to her getting no less than 20 years in the slammer (parole possibilities notwithstanding)]].

Changed line(s) 13 (click to see context) from:
** There's one big crime she committed that they can prove: Kidnapping [[spoiler: Dodd Gerhardt]]. While he did attack her in their house, immediately bounding and gagging said attacker and holding him for ransom/leverage is beyond illegal. It also doesn't help that [[spoiler: Dodd was killed]] while being held by the Blumquists; under Minnesota law, this allows the judge to sentence her for an even longer jail sentence because her and Ed's actions (albeit indirectly) led to the circumstances of [[spoiler: Dodd's death]]. Granted, she may get off easy if she's got a good defense attorney, who might try to convince the jury that Ed strong-armed her into doing the kidnapping or merely bring up how a dangerous mass-murdering criminal was the one who actually did the deed ([[spoiler: Hanzee]]).

* What exactly are Peggy's provable crimes? There's the hit-and-run (which police seem to think was Ed's doing) and obstruction of justice. Isn't that pretty much it? While she set some majorly destructive events in motion, every killing was done by someone else, and things like injuring or assaulting people could all be argued as self-defense.

** People did see Lester and Malvo talking in the ER. The ER nurse would later confirm this so there would be a firm connection between the two. Malvo would just say that he killed Hess for Lester, Lester reneged on the payment, and they both go down. But on a simpler level, Lester was completely flying by the seat of his pants in the beginning. Being the meek man he was, his first instinct would have been to give a simple lie of "Oh, the car's in the shop" rather than go through the paperwork of filing a report and coming up with more lies.
