Wife in deadly love triangle with racquetball coach and her hair mogul husband gets life sentence
Briefly

Monica Sementelli, a 53-year-old woman, was sentenced to life in prison for orchestrating her husband Fabio's murder in 2015. Prosecutors argued she plotted the crime to benefit from his $1.6 million life insurance policy. Her lover, Robert Baker, who testified he acted for love, received a similar sentence after his conviction. Evidence presented during the trial included video footage showing Monica monitoring the situation before the attack, raising serious concerns about her role in the conspiracy and the true motive behind the murder, which was disguised as a robbery gone wrong.
"I murdered him because I wanted her. She had nothing to do with it." Baker testified, during the trial, attempting to deflect blame from Monica Sementilli.
Monica Sementelli was sentenced to life without parole for masterminding the brutal slaying of her husband, with prosecutors highlighting her $1.6 million life insurance motive.
