If Leland was somehow involved in Laura's death, he has a damn good motive
for trying to kill Cooper: Cooper is getting *awfully* close to figuring out
who killed Laura.  Without Cooper around, Leland's chances of getting away
with murder are substantially improved (especially with Jacques gone).  As to
why Leland wouldn't have used his gun to kill Jacques -- very simple.  He 
didn't NEED to.  The pillow did the job, and it's a lot harder to trace a 
pillow than it is a gun and bullets.
