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
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.
@@alanwilson2073 A lot of men just marry for looks. A hot looking women gets excited about what you can do for her and it feels like she loves you.

Lady at the beginning “you had cars, money, cleaners, beautiful home - she had everything “ Speaks clearly to me that happiness to some people equates to how much money you have accumulated not how much love and fulfilment you have in your life. Materialistic shallow people.
@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.
@@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!
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
Because you probably love your husband which obviously she did not, having a lover. Does that makes her a killer? I Strongly doubt it!@@uniquetomodachi1979
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.
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,,,

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🙏 ❤️🙏
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.
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
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.
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??
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.”
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.
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.
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.
“She could have been watching a show just like any one of us watches a show while walking along” lol what adult woman is watching a show on her phone while shopping at target? What a reach.

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.
To hear that she found her husband dead and the first thing she said was "I'm not a wife anymore." There didn't seem to be any concern for her husband or daughters, but rather a focus on celebrating her newfound freedom just so she can secretly be with her lover speaks volumes.
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.
It's always the killer parent that manipulates the kids. Fabio seemed an incredible personality and a passion for his talent. What a great loss💔 The defense lawyer sounds ridiculous by the minute. Even trying to convince the audience it wasn't a human being that got into the car, wow😂
It only matters how it looks to a jury and if reasonable doubt is made then they did their job--jurors are from all walks of life and not always the brighest
....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....
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
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!
There’s no way she’s getting away with this. I was laughing out loud listening to the defense attorney. She’s gonna pay for her wicked treatment of a good man who loved her so well.
Her speech at the memorial: ""How lucky am I that I got to live the greatest love story of all time..... " (Audience applauds) Really?? If she was living the greatest story of all time.... WHY have an affair? Now she lives with regret, remorse and failure.
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.

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.

They don’t mean he shouldn’t have been home… I think they just meant maybe if he had not been home at that TIME he would have been ok. It literally just a saying. Wrong place, wrong time… not that he was wrong for being home.
His home WAS the wrong place…when your wife and her lover want you dead! Anyplace else was safer!
it's a saying and a statement & true in this case
Exactly! lol it’s so true but they seem to use that line often
Since this defense attorney's favorite word is "absolutely", this is for you defense attorney: That woman is absolutely absolutely absolutely guilty!
Facts 😂😂😂😂😂
Lady at the beginning “you had cars, money, cleaners, beautiful home - she had everything “
Speaks clearly to me that happiness to some people equates to how much money you have accumulated not how much love and fulfilment you have in your life. Materialistic shallow people.
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
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.
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
I just don’t know how people can defend criminals when it’s obvious they were involved.
Why couldn’t she just divorce her husband and be with Baker? Money? So sad😔
If my husband was killed, I wouldn't be trying to get his life insurance on the night he died.
Especially when you're well off like their family was. If you are poor and you need money for the bills, then it makes more sense.
You would! If you were poor and not in love with your husband and if you had a lover same as she did. Of course you would. So did she.
right?! that's kinda obvious and nuts. lol criminals don't make the best choices, though, huh?
Even if I'm not in good financial situation, life insurance will be the least I could think of if my husband died.
Because you probably love your husband which obviously she did not, having a lover. Does that makes her a killer? I Strongly doubt it!@@uniquetomodachi1979
Why throw away your life for jail? I just don't understand people.
Because they always thought they can get away with it
Greed ,greed, greed
Great Life too
Money? If you realise, her friend says that Fabio adored her like a queen. She never mentioned if Monica loved him the same way.
Because you can still learn something in prison when you can no longer learn something in your fancy comfort zone.
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.
A friend who…’happened’ to spot him in an adult film 😂
Man, you can't trust ANYONE
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,,,
Such a happy man. So sorry for the family that loved him.
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 😂
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
His daughters are garbage for sticking up for their cheating, murderous mother.
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
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.
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.
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 🙏 ❤️🙏
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.
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.
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 ❤️
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.
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??
Poor daughters in total denial.
Rest in Peace Fabio.
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!
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.
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.
Warning. Before investing 40 mins watching, know there is no outcome. Waste of time. Trial dec 2024
How lucky I am to have lived the greatest love story? But you’re having an affair!!!! WHATEVER
Exactly…a liar
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?
Cheating will mess things up
Well yes, as you can't be a cheater and not be a liar.
@@fetishisticrosePrecisely!
I’ll never understand why anyone would want to destroy this type of lifestyle and trade it for trash. My condolences to the family.
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 😢😮
Italians are fun loving people, having lived in Italy for 11 years myself in the past. Rip to Fabio. He looked like a great family guy
He did look like a great guy who loved life. He had a joyful face. His eyes twinkled.
I thought he was Canadian?
@@terrancedactielle5460Hey Arturo Gatti was also Canadian.😢
She is so obviously guilty.
Because ?
It seems to me she was abused for many years.
“She could have been watching a show just like any one of us watches a show while walking along” lol what adult woman is watching a show on her phone while shopping at target? What a reach.
That lady sounds insane
I watch and listen to UA-cam crime shows while shopping, but the phones in my purse lol.
I agree, ridiculous. Fabio was my nephew😢😢
@@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.
I watch & listen to videos while shopping all the time. She's guilty though...
He killed her husband, and she is in love with the killer. She wrote him a letter from behind bars.
BS
Trying to defend her motives is crazy. Truly, the attorney sharing the defense side was hard to watch. So, coincidence is nothing but that.
“This may have been a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
In his own home…. ? 😢
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
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.
So sad for the children 🙁
To hear that she found her husband dead and the first thing she said was "I'm not a wife anymore." There didn't seem to be any concern for her husband or daughters, but rather a focus on celebrating her newfound freedom just so she can secretly be with her lover speaks volumes.
The daughter found the dad dead, that's how much she cared
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.
“Wrong place at the wrong time” in his own house. That’s not funny but that’s funny.
It's always the killer parent that manipulates the kids. Fabio seemed an incredible personality and a passion for his talent. What a great loss💔 The defense lawyer sounds ridiculous by the minute. Even trying to convince the audience it wasn't a human being that got into the car, wow😂
He was a wonderful person, the sweetest. When my Father was in Italy and got sick, Fabio was the first to volunteer to bring him back. 😢😢
@@vickisementelli9584 Mi dispiace tanti. Un dolore immenso.
It only matters how it looks to a jury and if reasonable doubt is made then they did their job--jurors are from all walks of life and not always the brighest

@@lisa6371 Gragie tanti ❤️❤️
Guilty as sin. One very sick woman.
The quote "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then its probably a duck." , comes to mind when I watched this video.
....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....
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.

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.
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
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.
After someone has an affair outside of their marriage, their credibility is shot and hearing her speak at Fabio's memorial was nauseating.
My greatest takeaway looking at Mrs Sementilli in custody is that Makeup can work wonders.
She’s GUILTY AS SIN I say.
Because ?
There’s no way she’s getting away with this. I was laughing out loud listening to the defense attorney. She’s gonna pay for her wicked treatment of a good man who loved her so well.
Defense attorneys are the worst. lol.
Her speech at the memorial: ""How lucky am I that I got to live the greatest love story of all time..... "
(Audience applauds)
Really?? If she was living the greatest story of all time.... WHY have an affair? Now she lives with regret, remorse and failure.
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.
