GUILTY FL - Murder Plot Gone Wrong, Dalia Dippolito Captured in YouTube Video
- Thread starter Marina2
- Start date
Currently, husband is on the stand and they are replaying all the calls that were taped by her hubby in the aftermath.
2:25 p.m. UPDATE:
Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg is in the courtroom for the Dalia Dippolito sentencing hearing. He is expected to make a statement afterwards.
After allowing undercover recordings of Dippolito to be used by the state, Judge Kelley disallows recordings of her phone calls from jail.
“Why can’t I present statements that you havent heard before?” Assistant State Attorney Williams asks.
Kelley: “Trust me, I know this case very well.”
The judge goes on to say he doesn’t want to open the case up for a possible appellate fight by listening to recordings of her jail calls.
2:15 p.m. UPDATE:
By replaying the undercover recordings of Dalia Dippolito, prosecutor Craig Williams is sticking to his trial strategy of letting her own words snare her.
When her attorney objected to their use for a second time, the judge responded, “Overruled and admonished. I don’t need new objections for stuff I’ve already ruled on.”
Her attorney, Greg Rosenfeld said the recordings violate wiretap laws, but the judge said this is a sentencing and that he previously ruled them admissible.
2:05 p.m. UPDATE: Palm Beach County prosecutors ask Judge Glenn Kelley to sentence Dippolito to 30 years in prison, while Dippolito’s attorneys ask for two years in prison and eight years of probation.
Besides reading texts, the prosecutor plays clips of her own words from the failed 2009 plot.
Dippolito’s other attorney, Greg Rosenfeld, objected to the number of text messages that the state was reading. Judge allows state to continue.
Meanwhile, her attorney in California, Claypool, has officially checked out of sentencing hearing. He’s in a hospital and had been participating via a telephone.
2 p.m. UPDATE:
Assistant State Attorney Craig Williams wants to read for Circuit Judge Glenn Kelley texts that Dalia Dippolito sent.
“I want us to remember who you’re going to sentence here today,” Williams sayd.

I think they were trying to sway public opinion. I believe the max is appropriate. To be caught and beg for his help from jail? No just no.
4:15 p.m. UPDATE:
The two sides have made their final arguments:
Assistant State Attorney Laura Laurie makes the state’s final argument in Dalia Dippolito’s sentencing hearing, disputing the defense sentencing memo.
Laurie disputes that the plot involving undercover Boynton Beach police officer was an isolated incident.
“She over months plotted every way she could to get him out of her life,” Laurie says.
She then pushes for a 30-year prison sentence, 10 years more than Dippolito received when she was sentenced in her first trial, a verdict and sentence that eventually was overturned.
“Lawmakers apparently felt that this crime was so heinous that someone should serve up to 30 years in prison for it,” Laurie said.
Defense attorney Greg Rosenfeld’s turn:
He begins by saying he sat at computer in tears when prepping for this sentencing.
“I think it’s fair to say that her life as been exemplary,” he said. “What the state is giving you is just a piece of her life.”
She watched her late 20s and early 30s go by on house arrest. “This was not a John Goodman situation,” Rosenfeld said, referring to the Wellington polo mogul in prison for DUI manslaugther.
He implores people who say house arrest isn’t jail to “sit in a small townhouse for 8 years” to see what it’s like.
“From day one she never had a chance at a fair trial. It’s fair to say media self-interests have driven the prosecution,” he said.
He denies claims she met husband while working as an escort: “I’ll deny that until the day I die.”
Rosenfeld also summarizes and seeks sympathy, saying Dippolito’s father rejected her and abused her mom, and that she was an outcast in school. He says she had a tragic view of men as cheaters because of her father.
“Dalia Dippolito hasn’t had it easy. There’s no two ways about it,” he says.
Then there’s more of a sympathy play.
He says her concern since her conviction has never been for herself, but for her infant son.
“Dalia is a tremendous mother. Any punishment to her is a punishment to her son,” Rosenfeld said.
He says punishing Dippolito has been satisfied by eight years’ house arrest, social humiliation and $20,000 in house arrest fees, but he apparently is still not winding up.
3:15 p.m. UPDATE:
Dalia Dippolito cried as her attorney read the letter from her mother.
Dippolito’s attorney also read a letter from Dalia’s sister, Samira, and Dalia’s first boyfriend, Julian.
“She is a wonderful person who has been supported me through hard times,” Julian wrote.
He also says the media misreported her case and calls her “a conservative, self-respecting young woman who is liked by by everyone.”
3 p.m. UPDATE:
Michael Dippolito is off the witness stand.
Dalia Dippolito has declined to speak at her sentencing hearing, attorney Greg Rosenfeld says, for appellate purposes.
Rosenfeld also reads letter by Dippolito’s mother, Randa Mohammed, to judge. Although Mohammed is in the courtroom, Rosenfeld says she is too fragile to testify.
“This process has already been a life-changing experience for Dalia,” Mohammed writes.
Also: “She was at the wrong place at the wrong time and got involved with the wrong people.”
2:55 p.m. UPDATE:
At one point in the recording, Michael Dippolito promises to help Dalia Dippolito if she signs his house back to him.
“You’re not going to help me if I do that,” she says.
Earlier she asked him why he wasn’t helping her.
“Why don’t you want to? You’re not even trying.”
“I couldn’t help you even if I wanted to,” he replies.
2:45 p.m. UPDATE:
While Michael Dippolito is one the stand, the state is playing recordings of phone calls between him and Dalia Dippolito that were made while Dalia was first put in jail after her arrest.
“It’s not true. Please help me!” she tells him.
She vows to explain further if Michael agrees to talk to her in person, not on the phone.
“I am here for you. Every single time. There’s no denying that,” she says.
“I heard you say that *****,’ he says. “You can hire five f*in’ lawyers. You’re in a lot of trouble.”
“Everything you heard, I heard, and it’s not true,” she says.
She continues, “You couldn’t get off the couch the other day and I came and I helped you.”
Michael Dippolito looks uncomfortable on the stand as the recording is played.
2:35 p.m. UPDATE:
Michael Dippolito, the one-time husband whom Dalia wanted killed, takes the stand.
He starts by saying he met her when she was an escort.
“It was very exciting,” he said of their sex life. “It was part of the reason I was into her and I thought she was into me.”
He then goes on to dispute claims from her attorney’s sentencing memo that he isolated her from her family, saying family “was part of what attracted me to her.”
He also denied allegations that he forced her into sex at any time.

"It's been hard for me to put into words what Ms. Dippolito's been through and what I've been through."
WTF this isn't about you. Now he's getting personal about how much of an honor it is to know Dalia, how much his own wife has sacrificed so he could help Dalia, blah blah blah. He sounds like he is in love with Dalia. Someone needs to hit the gong.

I don't recall any other sentencing that has been drawn out like this. Maybe they are trying to hypnotize the judge?

Judge does not believe there has been sufficient evidence of remorse to satisfy that as a requirement for lowering a sentence length.
will not be a departure from sentence (neither up or down)

Someone on twitter suggested that maybe they were dragging it out so it wouldn't show up live on the evening news. HA! But now the judge gets to speak. He wasn't very satisfied by the defense's arguments for a downward departure so there won't be one. But he also won't exceed her original sentence because it essentially penalizes DD for winning an appeal. I can appreciate that.
My hope: She should get 20 years, credit for the days in jail and no credit for her house arrest.

48 months to 20 years seems reasonable to the Judge
Judge talking now..
He doesn't believe that the actions of the police department are mitigating factors. He states "The Boyton Police Department probably saved a live, you can be critical if you wish... they saved a live" "While may it may be flawed, they did not induce and their conduct cannot be a mitigating factor.

Judge says this was a premeditated, cold and calculated crime. Believes the maximum sentence of 20 years as a starting point is appropriate. He believes Mr. dippolito's testimonies also support that, as he suffered for the 8 years having to come into court over and over and be exposed to the curious public. His statements were compelling and honest, in the judge's eyes.
But he must objectively consider all mitigating factors. Conduct of Boynton (?) police Dept. is not a mitigating factor to the judge; their investigation probably saved a life, even though there can be some criticism. Their actions did not cause add to do anything, she caused it herself.
judge has read every letter defense sent him. They say ''she is a different person, has matured, and a person of faith". Judge sees differently, though he can hope she has.

The publicity.... facts from day one and an unfortunate fact.. not just Ms. Dippolito and for Mr. Dippolito etc.... I don't enjoying seeing my face in Australia.... it cannot be a mitigating factor.
Ms. Dippolito hasn't? a record, I have to take into account...
