[h=2]Understanding the Fabio Sementilli Capital Murder Trial[/h]
The question we will look at is why can Monica Sonia Sementil be charged with the murder if she did not commit the act? Because she did not actually do the crime we will discuss aiding and abetting which is the same as an accomplice. In addition to that, we will also look at the conspirator laws.

The first crime we will look to see if it is applicable to Ms. Sementil is aiding and abetting to murder. The legal definition to aiding and abetting is spelled out as all persons concerned in the commission of a crime, whether it be felony or misdemeanor, and whether they directly commit the act constituting the offense, or aid and abet in its commission, or, not being present, have advised and encouraged its commission, and all persons counseling, advising, or encouraging children under the age of fourteen years, or persons who are mentally incapacitated, to commit any crime, or who, by fraud, contrivance, or force, occasion the drunkenness of another for the purpose of causing him to commit any crime, or who, by threats, menaces, command, or coercion, compel another to commit any crime, are principals in any crime so committed. California Penal Code 31. This is a very dense statute and can be convoluted. But the essence of the crime is that anyone who is involved with a crime who helps in the slightest or encourages the crime is liable for the crime.
It bears repeating that the conspiracy and the crime that is the subject of the conspiracy are completely separate you can be convicted or acquitted of one or both. This is how Ms. Sementil can be held liable for the murder of Fabio.

Judge Coen goes on the record. They are here to argue various defense motions [by Sementilli]. The first motion is to keep the grand jury transcript sealed. The second is to seal the defense reply motion to the prosecution. The sealing of these documents will depend on the court's ruling. Judge Coen does not find that releasing the transcript [would be a hindrance] to
Sementilli receiving a fair trial. "The transcript in total is to be unsealed." Judge Coen then addresses Levine's motion to seal his rebuttal argument/motion. The reply will be unsealed.
May 9th as the next court date.
 
FABIO SEMENTILLI MURDER: Sex-packed indictment ordered unsealed
http://torontosun.com/news/world/fabio-sementilli-murder-sex-packed-indictment-ordered-unsealed

Monica Sementilli has nothing but time.

The raven-haired beauty’s roots are now grey. A bottle of colour is tough to find in the L.A. county jail.
[.....]
....will be back in a Los Angeles courtroom May 9.
[.....]
The alleged black widow’s high-priced legal team has been desperately scrambling to have sensational, sexually-driven elements of her indictment kept under lock and key.
[.....]
Reason: Love and a whopping $1.6-million life insurance policy.
[.....]
Representing Monica are celebrity lawyers Leonard Levine and Blair Berk.
Baker is stuck with a legal aid lawyer.


Not being from L.A. - never heard of these "celebrity lawyers"? Anyone?

Correction! :) The only thing that was sealed was the SEARCH WARRANT. Judge Coen unsealed it, redacted some portions so it could then be copied and given to the defense. Then it was resealed. The grand jury transcripts were unsealed.
 
Just read up on this case. Note to the "Grieving" Widow: Calling your deceased husband's insurance company the day he was murdered and demanding a payout, as well as badgering the LAPD on why said insurance claim hasn't been paid out isn't the best way to look innocent.

Thank god she was a greedy dumbass!
