Can a charge of asking someone to murder your wife for money be proven to be a crime of violence?

To ask someone to murder your wife for money involves a high degree of threat of physical force against one's wife. Hence the charge against Cox in Texas involved conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another. Under our precedents, a prior conviction of a crime of violence can be established by the conduct expressly charged. United States v. Young, 990 F.2d 469, 472 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 114 S.Ct. 276, 126 L.Ed.2d 226 (1993). Cox's conviction satisfies this test.
