I like Leland for the Jacoby attack too.  The ski mask is actually
perfect, because he probably DOESN'T want the kids to recognize him.
Leland was sitting in the darkened living room when Maddy went out to
pose as Laura, so he could easily have followed.  He is obviously
deranged over Laura's death and of course we know he can kill quite
deliberately.  (note the tape around Jacques' wrists beforehand -- not
twine by the way!)  

Leo, on the other hand, seems very cold blooded and "businesslike" about
his attacks -- they're not random.  (I used to think this meant he
couldn't have killed Laura, but when I heard him tell Shelly "YOU BROKE
MY HEART!" I thought about what he might have done if Laura scorned
him.)  At any rate Jacoby is nothing to him -- and nothing to Hank.  At
this point, adding "...that we know of" seems fruitless; we already have
enough motivation floating around.

It's an interesting question whether Jacques' death will be investigated
as a homicide or not.  It should be, but will anyone care to check?  The
Jacoby attack will be.  Leland has a known motive in each case, and no
alibi, so he's in trouble.
