Camarillo businessman James Fayed was sentenced to death Thursday for arranging his wife's murder in a Century City parking garage in 2008.
A jury in May recommended the death penalty for the former gold trader after finding him guilty of murder and conspiracy following a monthlong trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Fayed's wife, Pamela, 44, was stabbed 13 times in the Watts Tower parking garage as she was going to her car after a meeting between the couple and their attorneys.
The Fayeds were in the middle of a divorce and a federal probe of their gold-trading business.
Fayed hired an employee to plan the assault, according to prosecutors. The employee and two men prosecutors allege carried out a fatal ambush are awaiting trial on murder and conspiracy charges.
-------
Fayed hired employee Jose Luis Moya, 51, for about $25,000 to orchestrate the assault, prosecutors said during the trial. Moya hired Gabriel Marquez, 46, who commissioned Steven Vicente Simmons, 23, to fatally stab Pamela Fayed.
-------
Within days of Pamela Fayed's killing, Fayed, 48, was arrested by FBI agents on a charge of running a money transmitting business without the proper license.
The case was dropped after Fayed was charged in his estranged wife's homicide. ............Pamela stood to gain $1 million in the divorce.
Real smart fella...now instead of losing 1M, he is losing everything and has a death sentence to boot, plus trials/sentences for the 3 other losers he involved!
