. . . at least that's the law around here. They can get him for felony murder (of the hit man), attempted murder (of his wife), and solicitation of murder. And party to the crime of burglary . . .
I think he's looking at a long stretch.
The husband could not be convicted of felony murder in this case because there was no murder, which is an UNLAWFUL killing.
The wife's killing of her attacker was lawful because she was acting in self defense. Accordingly, there was no murder, and the husband cannot be convicted of felony murder. Or at least I think that's how it works.
