Fabio died not knowing tht he was betrayed by the love of his life then continue betrayed by his own daughters who stand by the very person who caused his life. Whether she planned it with Baker or not. She cheated on him for a year and brought the murderer to home. May he continue rest in peace 🙏
Same thing happening to my next door neighbor right now. Retired Navy, wife divorcing him, wants the house and everything in it, the vehicles, half his retirement AND future income AND $1000 mo. in alimony. She's a mental basket case. Other next door neighbor's wife tried to accuse him of something, she failed in court and lost everything. He recently re-married a beautiful and young Filipina girl. Women love their bad boys though, I see it all the time when I eat out at restaurants, sitting alone. I just smile and shake my head. Female hypergamy and Briffault's Law.

Couple of suggestions 1. Don't cheat on your loved one. If you're married get a divorce if you're cheating 2. ALWAYS do a background check on people you're considering getting involve with, ESPECIALLY if you've met them online 3. Ask the person you're considering involved with, "Describe your ex." If they say, "Oh, they were crazy...." RUN! That's often the response of a malignant narcissist
In the older footage he also appeared non-exclusively heterosexual, quite effeminate. Adding his occupation to that suspicion makes everything even more twisted.

@ralphfurley4217 Such personalities are to be reckoned with, hard to understand but the girls are victims of her personality. Apparently she has spinner a story for them that is acceptable and they can’t (aren’t allowed to) think outside of that unless mommy allows. Very complex and sad but definitely not the first such case I’m hearing of. I know such personalities too, mother can’t be wrong or bad. It is not possible in their minds. They’re still young and their whole world would explode if they were to consider that possibility.
A selfish and greedy person only cares about themselves. I feel sad for the kids living knowing your mum plotted your Dad's execution that's heartbreaking
the kids have believe she’s innocent, that she didn’t use it, all her daughters have believed she’s innocent for 6+ years to this day, they’re brainwashed
Those kids don’t understand that a parent can be a “good” parent and still be a bad wife/person. I mean she had their dad killed and all they are concerned about is their mom and not the pain the father experienced. Their mother didn’t even care to change the security system or move them in fear of if the “robbers” come back. She’s guilty and that consultant defence attorney is annoying 🙄
It seems to me that you don't understand that one can be a terrible person and cheat on her husband and at the same she doesn't have to automatically be a killer, like you assume without any evidence. lol
@@bobgillis1137 that's the first thing I'd look for, it's 2024 you assume EVERY house has cameras and if you don't want to get caught you have to get the hard drive!!! The accomplice probably took care of the hard drive while Baker stabbed the hubby being the DNA was left in that area not "everywhere" as you stated!
Birds of a feather flock together! Anyone with any normalcy, would have seen red flags from Monica from the beginning. So of course Monica is going to have eccentric friends.
Anyone who thinks she's innocent is a horrible judge of character. Nobody would act that way toward their partners killer, unless they were in on it. Affair or not.
WHILE INCARCERATED SHE'S WRITING LOVE LETTERS TO THE SEX OFFENDER WHO MURDERED HER HUSBAND . HER DAUGHTERS CAN'T SEE THERE'S SOMETHING SERIOUSLY DISTURBING ABOUT THAT🤨🤔😲
@HolaHolaWorld The article I read stated that the guy had been in prison for sex offence against a minor - his step daughter from his 1st marriage. When he was released, he and the girl married then if I recall divorced.
They lost their dad, their mom is all they got. Maybe if the kids were in their 30s with their own family (spouse and kids) and life they’d realize lying to themselves doesn’t help anything.
This whole thing is vile but can we talk about how she’s having an affair with a registered sex offender (whose victim was a teenage girl) and has teenage daughters??
As a New Orleanian, I am so happy and proud to see Michelle Miller's beautiful face on 48 hours. I remember when she was an anchor on our local tv station and would come to the schools to speak with us. Very nice and classy lady. As for Monica, she was TOTALLY in on it and should get the same amount of time as her boyfriend. Not only did she assist in taking her husbands life but forever traumatized her daughter by having her find him. She doesn't care about those children. She took their father and while she's in jail and instead of showing remorse, she's carrying on like a teenager sending letters about "how we both know what the other is thinking." Fabio seemed like a beautiful human being. You could feel his spirit through the camera. What a waste. Sending love to his sister, children, friends and love ones.
The jury will convict her. Unbelievable betrayal of her wonderful husband her daughters and all that supported and believed her. The most wicked and unthinkably selfish of acts.
my wife was in that world she was top hairdresser of l a just like him,,,i know that world very well and i didnt fit in,,,thats why shes my ex,,,i call her the hairdresser to the stars,,,
however,,,,unlike her,,,i took the poverty way out and didnt touch her money i have suffered greatly in my life but i am a noble person,,,she is evil and greedy,,,
It's always unbelievable to me that a couple can be married, raise kids, build a beautiful life together...believing that they're good, and then one turns on the other and ends their life. Greed, sex, revenge, doesn't matter. Like, what?! Is any relationship safe?
I would say yes, some are, but it comes down to morality. What do you hold dear? If money, high status and pleasure are what glue you together, you ain't got much protection.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897Exactly! How many such murders have we heard of? Good people can go absolutely bad when sex is involved. We can talk all day about affairs, flings, etc. give it cute names but sex is a powerful thing that should be handled appropriately. A good thing goes absolutely bad out of place. Someone will come and try to chastise me for moralizing etc but the fact of the matter is just that.
The daughters believing her would have no impact on me as a juror. I would just feel sorry for them, that they have lost both parents because of the actions of their mother and can’t face that fact.
I hope there's an update on this one since it's April 2024 now...oh shocks its scheduled on later this year....delayed again...I hope justice for the poor man wont get denied..
The greatest love story of your life, while you grab another man's peanut. And writing him letters DESTINED when you know he killed THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. Pathetic, disgusting and GUILTY. And lawyers who try to find excuses and loops to free criminals, are as pathetic and disgusting as them. OF COURSE having an affair with the murderer of your husband should put you straight under the lights. Not to mention lying about it. You know what hiding stuff means? THEY KNEW IT WAS WRONG. Hiding and lying.
Another man's PEANUT? LMAO! I've never heard that before. It's hilarious! My grandma was almost 90 when after my grandpa died, I overheard her tell a family member that grandpa's manhood had become a button. Yes, she said it looked like a button!! LOL!! But in their early marriage he gave her 9 children! RIP Grandpa Joe! And Grandma Nellie. My grandparents loved each other and stayed married till he died. She was 13 when they married. He wasn't a whole lot older. Less than 10 yrs for sure. Things were different back then. My grandma was born in 1896 and lived to 100.
@@laswan5 It's rumored that she did other things with the PEANUT besides just grabbing it. I heard that they used the PEANUT as a racquet in a game of racquetball. Supposedly, this is why she was drawn to him - because of the unusual things he did with his PEANUT. I want to stress that these are just rumors and I can't confirm whether these rumors are true.
Denial & heartbreak I think, not betrayal. There’s nothing wrong with them sticking by their mum but she should just admit her guilt, give them that at least. I’m sure they’d still be there for her.
So what if her friend knew about the affair. She wasn’t the one doing the cheating. Glad she came on to share details because it shines light on the “real Monica.”
I have worked in law with a criminal defense firm and I am sorry, but this defense attorney is really going overboard. No way much of the evidence can be put aside.
You do realize that lady "defense attorney" isn't Monica's actual defense attorney??? She's a consulting lawyer 48 Hours got in touch with after Monica's actual lawyers refused to be interviewed. And as a consulting lawyer, all she was doing was reading the court paperwork and explaining to the reporter & audience what Monica's actual lawyers are probably going to say/use at the upcoming trial. Same goes for the "prosecutor" as well because the actual prosecutors refused interviews so the network needed another consulting attorney to act as a prosecutor. The old guy at the 21:16 part of the video is Monica's actual lawyer!!!
But as long as they have an answer which they always do and though it may seem a bit off often a jury will believe it--they only have to prove reasonable doubt in the mind of a juror
Although I think that she is guilty AF I find it interesting that Mr Baker says that Monica had nothing to do with it and takes a life w/o parole deal when he probably could have gotten a plea deal with parole if he would have implicated Monica in a conspiracy.
Is she kidding? You can ask about life insurance after 1-2 weeks if you need the money and not on the same day or one day after. They had 11k cash at home and she has access to the bank account I assume with 400000. “Only” the Rolex on his wrist was more than a lot of people have and all together they had more than most of us will ever have and she tells that Monica is not financially sane. She also had “rich” family and friends who had helped her but They had enough money. And also the words shes spoke in the police car. She is guilty
You can ask about life insurance at any moment after death. Doesn't matter what resources you have. They are rich, bills could be due. It's not odd at all.
@@monique_jones it’s odd if you have millions ins dollars and jewelry at home and in the bank and rich friends and family. Sure you can. But for 99,99% of the people this is the last concern they have on a day a loved one is brutally murdered.
I'll explain it to you. 1. She gave him the code so he can enter at will in her house where surely they were making love in the absence of her husband. 2. There are controlling men that wants to have the passwords for everything regarding the woman . 3. Can be a lot of other reasons. And moreover, was that a code ? Really ? User: user , password: 1111 . Really? :)))) That was the default code which was change after, and it was given 6 months prior to the crime :)))
@@etwo2352 boy you really showed me 🙄🙄🙄 Sure, anyone can say that stuff but it has no basis in reality. They could also say “he forced her to text him this info” but the jury is unlikely to believe it. Sorry wannabe defense attorney, lol.
My husband walked around the store with me watching soccer most to the time yesterday. He almost ran the cart into a car when he’s coming out the store. I laugh so hard. This woman is guilty a charge though.

Who is the accomplice? I can't believe they just skipped over that. How could they let him plead without giving up his helper? Where's the investigation into who that is, which could mean so much to the case against Monica?
@@girl38rockify it's not a question of "IF" the video clearly shows there were 2...I thought it was most likely Monica until near the end when they finally revealed she was in Target! I think this was the point, leave us wanting more for part 2 either during the trial and/or after the trial!
It just goes to show that you could do everything right and be a good natured decent human being and still end up with the wrong person smh. RIP Fabio🕊🕊
He didn't do everything right. He married a pretty face with a dark heart. Almost every man is vulnerable to a beautiful woman who seems interested in you. He should have married a woman who has his good nature.
The way she described him was so immature and so silly! I'm looking at this grown woman like grow the f******up! She acted like she wanted to sleep with him if she hadn't already!
@@bornaries7213Now that a huge red flag. If your wife has those kind of friends and especially if one of them is their bestfriend.I also believe that her best friend probably knew about the affair but not the plan of killing the husband though. 😮
....if you are not happy with your marriage....just divorce...i mean seriously. Why throw away your life and freedom and then act so sorry/shocked...for some loser and cash?! Just why....
Terrible and sad as this case is, I can't help to be annoyed by the writers emphasising how having it all is to have a bog house, a Porsche and all that stuff.
Only the paid one's. I had told my public defender when I was 19 (when the internet was dial-up) that the cops didn't read me my rights at all. He said well that doesn't apply here LMAO. Years later I found out, the charges should have been dropped.
That is true. Often anger blinds us to the greatest part of our legal system....you are innocent until proven guilty and everyone deserves legal representation
Believe it. Never forget that just because people are attractive, or look normal, means that they are actually normal. There are multitudes of people lacking in empathy and with bizarre ideas of morality and decency running loose in society. They see nothing wrong with their actions because crazy people do not know that they are crazy.

Yes indeed very strange comment...
asif being a wife is the most important thing in life.
I found that a little odd too.
It’s also a statement showing that she hadn’t wanted to be his wife for some time and now she is free to do whatever.
And she couldn't talk in complete sentences for days, says her friend.. yet calls about the life insurance policy....
What she said in the car to Baker : “someone said something, someone talked” is in fact states that she was on it.
And that they told not only one person what happened but multiple… They should follow the money.
Trash will always be trash, no matter how much money you throw at it.

Because you can still learn something in prison when you can no longer learn something in your fancy comfort zone.
So sad how their daughters are now supporting their mom instead of their deceased father.
Exactly 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Parents know how to brainwash kids. Especially, the evil ones.
Why ?????
@ralphfurley4217 Such personalities are to be reckoned with, hard to understand but the girls are victims of her personality. Apparently she has spinner a story for them that is acceptable and they can’t (aren’t allowed to) think outside of that unless mommy allows. Very complex and sad but definitely not the first such case I’m hearing of. I know such personalities too, mother can’t be wrong or bad. It is not possible in their minds. They’re still young and their whole world would explode if they were to consider that possibility.
@ralphfurley4217 she's all they have left. Your lack of empathy disgusts me
A selfish and greedy person only cares about themselves.
I feel sad for the kids living knowing your mum plotted your Dad's execution that's heartbreaking
😖🎯🎯🎯
the kids have believe she’s innocent, that she didn’t use it, all her daughters have believed she’s innocent for 6+ years to this day, they’re brainwashed
@@oliwia2104 And manipulated them🥲they are in denial mode
Those daughters support their mother even with all this evidence.
"selfish and greedy person" it doesn't mean "murderer" . But you are just assuming without evidence.
His daughters are garbage for sticking up for their cheating, murderous mother.
I just don’t know how people can defend criminals when it’s obvious they were involved.
money.
Those kids don’t understand that a parent can be a “good” parent and still be a bad wife/person. I mean she had their dad killed and all they are concerned about is their mom and not the pain the father experienced. Their mother didn’t even care to change the security system or move them in fear of if the “robbers” come back. She’s guilty and that consultant defence attorney is annoying 🙄
They can't comprehend it
Man I feel that last sentence HEAVY
No dude. You want to believe that she is guilty, but there is not any direct evidence against her. Cheating does not equal killing.
It seems to me that you don't understand that one can be a terrible person and cheat on her husband and at the same she doesn't have to automatically be a killer, like you assume without any evidence. lol
Being a father is a thankless job
Once the security tapes were gone, that was all I needed to hear to know she was involved
I would agree. What murderers would spend the time randomly looking for the box all the while leaving dna everywhere.
@@bobgillis1137 that's the first thing I'd look for, it's 2024 you assume EVERY house has cameras and if you don't want to get caught you have to get the hard drive!!! The accomplice probably took care of the hard drive while Baker stabbed the hubby being the DNA was left in that area not "everywhere" as you stated!
Proves nothing about her. It proves that the killer took the tapes :))
I knew she was involved before that. Because crocodile tears don’t work on me. I immediately saw right through her bs
I don't understand why they did not opt for a cloud based security camera system.
Monica's friend, Elise, is ANNOYING. I wish they hadn't interviewed her so much
I know, total ding bat! 😂
Birds of a feather flock together! Anyone with any normalcy, would have seen red flags from Monica from the beginning. So of course Monica is going to have eccentric friends.
Airhead for sure
I know! Makes all of us who share the name look bad.
She looks like Ozzy Osborne in wig. ha ha
Warning. Before investing 40 mins watching, know there is no outcome. Waste of time. Trial dec 2024
Anyone who thinks she's innocent is a horrible judge of character. Nobody would act that way toward their partners killer, unless they were in on it. Affair or not.
Such a happy man. So sorry for the family that loved him.
WHILE INCARCERATED SHE'S WRITING LOVE LETTERS TO THE SEX OFFENDER WHO MURDERED HER HUSBAND . HER DAUGHTERS CAN'T SEE THERE'S SOMETHING SERIOUSLY DISTURBING ABOUT THAT🤨🤔😲
It was his stepdaughter. When he got released from jail, they got married.
@@manichairdo9265WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN.. you are so lost it’s funny 😂😂😂
@HolaHolaWorld The article I read stated that the guy had been in prison for sex offence against a minor - his step daughter from his 1st marriage. When he was released, he and the girl married then if I recall divorced.
She is so guilty, how can her kids still believe her.
Children typically refuse to believe their parents' guilt, so I don't think the court takes their claims too seriously.
The same goes to when your kids commit a crime , no mother or father wants their kid to be held accountable.
The kids don't want to let go of the only living parent they have. It's not right, but it often happens.
They lost their dad, their mom is all they got. Maybe if the kids were in their 30s with their own family (spouse and kids) and life they’d realize lying to themselves doesn’t help anything.
Because they're her kids too. They've lost one parent, and are probably desperate not to lose the other.
He killed her husband, and she is in love with the killer. She wrote him a letter from behind bars.
BS
This whole thing is vile but can we talk about how she’s having an affair with a registered sex offender (whose victim was a teenage girl) and has teenage daughters??
As a New Orleanian, I am so happy and proud to see Michelle Miller's beautiful face on 48 hours. I remember when she was an anchor on our local tv station and would come to the schools to speak with us. Very nice and classy lady.
As for Monica, she was TOTALLY in on it and should get the same amount of time as her boyfriend. Not only did she assist in taking her husbands life but forever traumatized her daughter by having her find him. She doesn't care about those children. She took their father and while she's in jail and instead of showing remorse, she's carrying on like a teenager sending letters about "how we both know what the other is thinking." Fabio seemed like a beautiful human being. You could feel his spirit through the camera. What a waste. Sending love to his sister, children, friends and love ones.
You want to believe that she is guilty. What you want is not also the truth. There is no direct evidence against her. Period!
The jury will convict her. Unbelievable betrayal of her wonderful husband her daughters and all that supported and believed her. The most wicked and unthinkably selfish of acts.
@@etwo2352ok Monica 😂
I was immediately suspicious upon hearing racquetball mentioned post-1980s.
lmfao real
haha,,,,
😂😮😅
my wife was in that world she was top hairdresser of l a just like him,,,i know that world very well and i didnt fit in,,,thats why shes my ex,,,i call her the hairdresser to the stars,,,
however,,,,unlike her,,,i took the poverty way out and didnt touch her money i have suffered greatly in my life but i am a noble person,,,she is evil and greedy,,,
It's always unbelievable to me that a couple can be married, raise kids, build a beautiful life together...believing that they're good, and then one turns on the other and ends their life. Greed, sex, revenge, doesn't matter. Like, what?! Is any relationship safe?
NO
It is so evil and beyond comprehension 😢
I would say yes, some are, but it comes down to morality. What do you hold dear? If money, high status and pleasure are what glue you together, you ain't got much protection.
Not after the invention of the cell phone. Straight from the playbook of satan.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897Exactly! How many such murders have we heard of? Good people can go absolutely bad when sex is involved. We can talk all day about affairs, flings, etc. give it cute names but sex is a powerful thing that should be handled appropriately. A good thing goes absolutely bad out of place. Someone will come and try to chastise me for moralizing etc but the fact of the matter is just that.
Her trial was delayed several times and is now set to begin Dec 2024, just an fyi.
So sad for the children 🙁
The daughters believing her would have no impact on me as a juror. I would just feel sorry for them, that they have lost both parents because of the actions of their mother and can’t face that fact.
Rest in Peace Fabio.
She is so obviously guilty.
Because ?
It seems to me she was abused for many years.
Man, you can't trust ANYONE
I hope there's an update on this one since it's April 2024 now...oh shocks its scheduled on later this year....delayed again...I hope justice for the poor man wont get denied..
How lucky I am to have lived the greatest love story? But you’re having an affair!!!! WHATEVER
Exactly…a liar
The greatest love story of your life, while you grab another man's peanut. And writing him letters DESTINED when you know he killed THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. Pathetic, disgusting and GUILTY. And lawyers who try to find excuses and loops to free criminals, are as pathetic and disgusting as them. OF COURSE having an affair with the murderer of your husband should put you straight under the lights. Not to mention lying about it. You know what hiding stuff means? THEY KNEW IT WAS WRONG. Hiding and lying.
Exactly 💯 %!!!
Another man's PEANUT? LMAO! I've never heard that before. It's hilarious! My grandma was almost 90 when after my grandpa died, I overheard her tell a family member that grandpa's manhood had become a button. Yes, she said it looked like a button!! LOL!! But in their early marriage he gave her 9 children! RIP Grandpa Joe! And Grandma Nellie. My grandparents loved each other and stayed married till he died. She was 13 when they married. He wasn't a whole lot older. Less than 10 yrs for sure. Things were different back then. My grandma was born in 1896 and lived to 100.
@@laswan5 It's rumored that she did other things with the PEANUT besides just grabbing it. I heard that they used the PEANUT as a racquet in a game of racquetball. Supposedly, this is why she was drawn to him - because of the unusual things he did with his PEANUT. I want to stress that these are just rumors and I can't confirm whether these rumors are true.
Cheating will mess things up
Well yes, as you can't be a cheater and not be a liar.
@@fetishisticrosePrecisely!
The betrayal from the daughters is disgusting.
R.I.P.
Denial & heartbreak I think, not betrayal. There’s nothing wrong with them sticking by their mum but she should just admit her guilt, give them that at least. I’m sure they’d still be there for her.
@Dr_Vix Good way to put it, but Dam 2+2 is 4 lol
Monica is a cold blooded grifter...enough dots were connected IMO. I would vote guilty.
Isn’t getting divorced just easier?
She wanted all plus the life insurance
Maybe she signed a prenup.
Amen!
It's safer to get a divorce she wanted it all and now she gets free room and Board.
No
Her friend knows everything about her affair all along.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too. 🤔
So what if her friend knew about the affair. She wasn’t the one doing the cheating. Glad she came on to share details because it shines light on the “real Monica.”
Huh but she was trying to portray Monica as this good innocent loving wife. While she was an adulterer @@heartofthematter6691
She held her while she "cried", instead of calling 911... how did they know he was dead?
Her friend is a nutcase!
I have worked in law with a criminal defense firm and I am sorry, but this defense attorney is really going overboard. No way much of the evidence can be put aside.
Agree. She sounds absolutely ridiculous.
What evidence ? Name one!
You do realize that lady "defense attorney" isn't Monica's actual defense attorney??? She's a consulting lawyer 48 Hours got in touch with after Monica's actual lawyers refused to be interviewed. And as a consulting lawyer, all she was doing was reading the court paperwork and explaining to the reporter & audience what Monica's actual lawyers are probably going to say/use at the upcoming trial. Same goes for the "prosecutor" as well because the actual prosecutors refused interviews so the network needed another consulting attorney to act as a prosecutor. The old guy at the 21:16 part of the video is Monica's actual lawyer!!!
But as long as they have an answer which they always do and though it may seem a bit off often a jury will believe it--they only have to prove reasonable doubt in the mind of a juror
@@etwo2352did you watch the episode? It’s all there. Also circumstantial evidence holds as much weight in the court of law as physical evidence.
Although I think that she is guilty AF I find it interesting that Mr Baker says that Monica had nothing to do with it and takes a life w/o parole deal when he probably could have gotten a plea deal with parole if he would have implicated Monica in a conspiracy.
I think he feels guilty for talking her into the whole scheme.... His idea, not hers.
So sad that their father did not mean anything,to the daughters . After hearing your mother had an affair with the killer did not mean anything 😢😮
Is she kidding? You can ask about life insurance after 1-2 weeks if you need the money and not on the same day or one day after. They had 11k cash at home and she has access to the bank account I assume with 400000. “Only” the Rolex on his wrist was more than a lot of people have and all together they had more than most of us will ever have and she tells that Monica is not financially sane. She also had “rich” family and friends who had helped her but They had enough money. And also the words shes spoke in the police car. She is guilty
Good points!
You can ask about life insurance at any moment after death. Doesn't matter what resources you have. They are rich, bills could be due. It's not odd at all.
It’s odd@@monique_jones
@@monique_jones it’s odd if you have millions ins dollars and jewelry at home and in the bank and rich friends and family. Sure you can. But for 99,99% of the people this is the last concern they have on a day a loved one is brutally murdered.
@@aliciakillen1940 ❤️
I would love to hear the defense explain away her texting him the alarm system code and other incriminating evidence
She did.
I'll explain it to you. 1. She gave him the code so he can enter at will in her house where surely they were making love in the absence of her husband. 2. There are controlling men that wants to have the passwords for everything regarding the woman . 3. Can be a lot of other reasons. And moreover, was that a code ? Really ? User: user , password: 1111 . Really? :)))) That was the default code which was change after, and it was given 6 months prior to the crime :)))
@@etwo2352 boy you really showed me 🙄🙄🙄
Sure, anyone can say that stuff but it has no basis in reality. They could also say “he forced her to text him this info” but the jury is unlikely to believe it.
Sorry wannabe defense attorney, lol.
“This may have been a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
In his own home…. ? 😢
It’s baffling that they always downgrade
Poor daughters in total denial.
Defense attorney is loony … who watches a show or movie while they’re walking around shopping 😂😂😂
I actually watch Dateline 24/7 Live while grocery shopping but that’s just me. She’s guilty though.😁
My husband walked around the store with me watching soccer most to the time yesterday. He almost ran the cart into a car when he’s coming out the store. I laugh so hard. This woman is guilty a charge though.
I do.

And short too...
SO gross!
He really is disgusting 🤮

@@vickisementelli9584 I’m so sorry for your loss. He seemed like a really lovely, vibrant person. It makes me so angry when good people get taken from this world while horrible people live long lives. May justice be served.

What a horrific end to the life of a man who was loved and loving. I'm so sorry for him, his children, his sister, and for all who loved him. May God bless and comfort all who suffer, mourn, and grieve his loss. Amen 🙏 ❤️🙏
Trying to defend her motives is crazy. Truly, the attorney sharing the defense side was hard to watch. So, coincidence is nothing but that.
Who is the accomplice? I can't believe they just skipped over that. How could they let him plead without giving up his helper? Where's the investigation into who that is, which could mean so much to the case against Monica?
I was thinking the same thing...and they didn't make him testify against Monica? That's usually a condition of plea dealing
In jail ppl talk if there was a accomplice it will come to light.
@@girl38rockify it's not a question of "IF" the video clearly shows there were 2...I thought it was most likely Monica until near the end when they finally revealed she was in Target! I think this was the point, leave us wanting more for part 2 either during the trial and/or after the trial!
@@raaawkstaaar I was thinking as well it was Monica
It just goes to show that you could do everything right and be a good natured decent human being and still end up with the wrong person smh. RIP Fabio🕊🕊
This is how this world works.
Don’t expect anything better than worse.
He didn't do everything right. He married a pretty face with a dark heart. Almost every man is vulnerable to a beautiful woman who seems interested in you. He should have married a woman who has his good nature.
I can't agree. He married someone has serious issue. Why can't find it ealier?
Being a racquetball coach makes him alpha?
Ummmm ok 👌
The way she described him was so immature and so silly! I'm looking at this grown woman like grow the f******up! She acted like she wanted to sleep with him if she hadn't already!

Defense attorneys can be despicable people, until you need one.
Only the paid one's. I had told my public defender when I was 19 (when the internet was dial-up) that the cops didn't read me my rights at all. He said well that doesn't apply here LMAO. Years later I found out, the charges should have been dropped.
@@SidewaysInTraffic a disgrace!
That is true. Often anger blinds us to the greatest part of our legal system....you are innocent until proven guilty and everyone deserves legal representation
@@djstarr-lowery4047only women are presumed innocent.. if the genders were reversed and he was cheating on his wife, he'd have gotten the needle
When the cops got the recording of her saying "somebody must have talked...they must have something ". Guilty as charged!
IMO, that recording is the ONLY thing they have, and they can shake that off with "she meant somebody must have given Baker up."
Nope. It also can mean that he confessed to her that he had killed him . Doesn't prove she knew before the crime took place.
Defense attorneys: "There is no evidence that Robert Baker even exists." 😂
The magical thinking of a child, but with the power of a JD behind it. Frightening.
Exactly the thing a shyster lawyer would say. All these lawyers want to do is create doubt. It’s never about proving innocence.
I can’t believe these things happen in real life.
Hollywood is not really real life
Believe it. Never forget that just because people are attractive, or look normal, means that they are actually normal. There are multitudes of people lacking in empathy and with bizarre ideas of morality and decency running loose in society. They see nothing wrong with their actions because crazy people do not know that they are crazy.
