Monica Sementilli was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the first-degree murder of her husband, Fabio Sementilli, a well-known hairdresser. Convicted in April, she conspired with her lover, Robert Baker, to commit the crime for a $1.6 million insurance policy. Baker, who also received a life sentence, testified that he murdered Fabio because of his feelings for Monica. The judge, noting Monica's role as the mastermind, rejected her request for a lighter sentence, emphasizing the planned nature of the crime.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Coen called Sementilli the mastermind in this conspiracy to commit murder, rejecting her defense bid for a lesser sentence.
