The case seemed like a slam-dunk for the cops: Gold-digging, plastic-surgery-loving wife tries to murder hubby! But deeper investigation would uncover a more complex story. Dalia might be ruthless and conniving, but her husband has a troubling rap sheet of his own. Their marriage was built on a rickety foundation of lies, jilted lovers, and bizarre financial deals. Both would suffer the consequences when their high-rolling romance imploded.

New text messages to her lover released. Link

Text messages reveal Dippolito's intimate relationship with another man.

Dippolito: Love u so much and I love the way u r w me I love the attention
Boyfriend: Im glad!!! Baby you are numero uno :), really....and I always want to show u

Dippolito planned a fake meeting at the courthouse, tricking her husband into signing their house into her name only, text messages reveal, and she also sent text messages of her plans to plant drugs in her husband's car.

Divorce attorneys for Mike Dippolito said the text messages only bolster their case.

Attorney Joshua Friedman said they "clearly show that the entire marriage was a fraud, that Dahlia's sole intent the entire time was to take Michael's house, take his money and dispose of him at whatever cost necessary."

Text messages released in Boynton Beach murder-for-hire case
Dalia Dippolito accused of hiring a hit man to kill husband of six months
May 11, 2010|By Susan Spencer-Wendel, The Palm Beach Post

Their texts, pinged day and night, fill nearly 49 pages. According to the released records, the text messages included the following information:

Ones professing love:


"Dalia, i have always wanted u, ur my unicorn" read one message from Stanley's number.

(Pardon the interruption but I have to say; )

"I want u as the ancor in my life!, the hub, the center!" her number replied.

Ones about their physical connection:

"R U speechless do you want my hot tight body all over u," her number pinged Stanley's number.

And ones professing their desire to be together after Michael Dippolito was to disappear from their lives:

"The sooner he gets jammed up the sooner we can be in paradise island baby," her number pinged to Stanley's on July 27.

That was sent one week before Boynton Beach police filmed her allegedly plotting with an undercover officer to undertake the shooting of 39-year-old Michael Dippolito.

In the text messages, Dalia Dippolito's number proposes to Stanley's number "spoofing" Michael Dippolito.

Spoofing is the practice of arranging to call a phone number using a third designated phone number &#8212; for example, someone wanting to pose as a legal professional calling from a courthouse.

It appears Michael Stanley did so as he reportedly colluded with Dalia Dippolito, 27, to freeze Michael Dippolito's assets and win the Dippolitos' mortgage-free home in Boynton Beach.

Her number texted to Stanley's number on July 23:

"I need u to spoof the cll and tell him that he needs to meet ur paralegal at 2:30 at th courthouse."

Michael and Dalia Dippolito appear to have met the faux paralegal at the Miami courthouse, according to her texts. "Im going to be in a brite orange dress and mike in a yellow shirt and blue shorts," her number pinged.

As the days wound down, texts from Dalia Dippolito's number to Stanley's number focused much on their future life together.


"We r going to make great parents and well have a nanny fulltime so we can still have fun and party and travel together," her number texted to Stanley's July 27.

Messages from Dalia Dippolito's number grew more melancholy, remarking how unhappy she is, how she must get out of the marriage and begin her life again with Stanley.

"I love you can't wait to im gettn so excitd about being in the city like the dream apt in sex and the city movie w kerri and big," she wrote.


Ok, gotta put the brakes on for a minute here. THEY'LL MAKE GREAT PARENTS!!!

By July 31, the two numbers were texting about the transfer of the Dippolito's marital home into his wife's name only.

"Did the tranfr but he said were married i cant sell it w out his signature even though its in my name," her number texted Stanley's.

Their messages from the day police filmed her with the officer posing as a hitman until the day of her arrest are less frequent, ones about pets and apartments, about calling each other. One of the final ones:

"About going to thailand," Stanley's number wrote to hers.

Her trial starts today. I was looking for a video link.
 
Really? :waitasec:

Dippolito defense: Dalia thought she was acting for a reality show

Dalia Dippolito never planned to have her husband killed, her attorney told a jury on Tuesday. Rather, she thought she was acting in a reality show orchestrated by her husband to achieve fame and publicity.

In his opening statement in her murder-for-hire trial, defense attorney Michael Salnick said Michael Dippolito was a controlling husband who duped his wife into taking part in his hoax.

"Michael Dippolito's hoax to orchestrate his own murder to achieve fame and fortune was a bad prank," Salnick said. "It was never anyone's intention to harm anyone."

Well that is a novel defense. Kinda a new version of "it's all his fault."

from the link

Later they confronted her, brought her face-to-face with her husband and arrested her. Her reaction and arrest also were caught on video, which will be evidence in the trial.

That will be real interesting.
 
But boy wouldn't that be something if he actually did trick her into a plot that puts her behind bars? That would be a great TV episode for one of the various cop/CSI/ME shows.

How exactly could her husband have done it? According to that article, it was her boyfriend that contacted the police about the murder plan, not her husband.
 
WEST PALM BEACH — A jury this afternoon convicted Dalia Dippolito of trying to hire a hitman to kill her newlywed husband in 2009.

The jury of six took barely three hours to come back with a guilty verdict on the one count of solicitation to commit first-degree murder.

The 29-year-old Dippolito barely showed any emotion as the verdict was read. Dippolito, who now faces up to 30 years in prison, was led quietly out of the packed courtroom in handcuffs by sheriff's deputies.

Great news! This woman was certainly a few cents short of a nickel. She really thought she would get away with it. IMO.

From the article:
She likened Dippolito to poison candy: attractive outside, deadly inside.

Of course you never know what a jury would do, but her story about her husband coming up with a reality tv plan (when it was her former boyfriend contacting police) made no sense.
 
Arrested Boynton Beach wife's weapons: Sex appeal, drive, deceit

BOYNTON BEACH — "She was smiley and sweet, a surgically enhanced beauty. And for one day at least, she was for sale."

"With his wife out of town in October 2008, Michael Dippolito called an escort to his Boca Raton office. To his door came 26-year-old Dalia Mohammed."

"They quickly hit it off and saw each other often. Whatever she had, he liked it a lot. When Michael's wife returned later that month, he stunned her by announ*cing he wanted a divorce."

"In less than four months he and Dalia married in secret at a county courthouse, not bothering to alert their parents. In a year's time, authorities and divorce attorneys say, she persuaded him to give her his home and $240,000 of his life savings."

"By then, they say, she also had tried, and failed three times, to kill him. She was finally busted in August when a former lover and confidant tipped off police."

Who would have thought that it might not be a good idea to marry an escort?
:floorlaugh:
 
unbelievable how she gets into the car acting all casual and then proceeds to discuss murdering her husband like she's planning a vacation
 
I think sentencing for this case, is tomorrow...
 
20 years. Looks like her moms group of friends didn't help too much.

"Dalia Dippolito was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in prison for plotting to have her newlywed husband murdered.

The 28-year-old Boynton Beach woman showed little emotion as Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath issued the sentence. The only time she broke down was earlier in the sentencing hearing, listening to her 16-year-old sister talk about her.



Colbath noted that Dalia Dippolito had never apologized to her husband for plotting to take his life.

"I think 'I'm sorry' would have gone a long way," the judge said. "It's astonishing, the cold-blooded denial you're willing to go to."


Dalia Dippolito's plot, he said, was "something out of a novel." He told Dippolito she was motivated by greed, avarice and lust, and just wanted to be free of her husband. He called her "pure evil."
 
She is being released on house arrest until her retrial so she is not really out out. Hopefully she will end up getting more time in her new trial!! Curious to see what she is going to use as her defense this time.

Wow. Just heard about her release on Dateline. This is SO unfair. The article states the appeal could take two years! Two years that she's free to relax, hang by the pool and watch t.v..

Note that we don't know if she is going to be successful and whether or not she will get a new trial. I am hopeful that the appeals court will say that Mohamed Shihadeh (the boyfriend who alerted police that she wanted her husband dead, and who helped set up the sting), not testifying live, was NOT harmful error. My understanding is that if the appeals court determines Dalia could have been convicted even if Mohamed testified live (rather than via video) and was subject to live cross exam, then she loses. I pray that she does lose.

I don't understand why she's allowed out on appeal. This is such a clear-cut case. I hope this isn't going to be another Florida failure.
