Monica Sementilli, Who Plotted Her Celebrity Hairstylist Husband's Death with Her Porn Star Lover, Sentenced to Life Without Parole
Fabio Sementilli was murdered on Jan. 23, 2017 Fabio's wife, Monica Sementilli, and her lover, Robert Baker, were suspected of being co-conspirators in his murder to collect his $1.6 million life insurance money Monica was found guilty on Friday, April 11, and then on Monday, June 23, she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole Monica Sementilli has been sentenced to life in prison in her late husband, Fabio Sementilli's murder, according to a news release from Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman. Monica, 53, was sentenced without the possibility of parole on Monday, June 23, two months after she was convicted of one count of murder with special circumstance allegations involving financial gain – and one count of murder while lying in wait in the January 2017 death of Fabio. On Friday, April 11, Monica was found guilty after evidence showed that she conspired with her lover, Robert Louis Baker, to murder Fabio — the 49-year-old Canadian hair executive and father of three — to collect millions in life insurance benefits. 'The person responsible wasn't a stranger but the woman we had welcomed into our family for over 20 years,' Fabio's sister Loretta Picillo told the judge before the Monday, June 23 sentencing, according to Los Angeles Times. 'We treated her like family and she betrayed all of us.' "Monica Sementilli betrayed the person who loved and trusted her most,' DA Hochman said in the news release. 'Her calculated scheme to profit from her husband's death cost a kind and talented man his life and devastated a family,' Hochman continued. Prosecutors said Monica concocted the plan to kill Fabio with Baker, a convicted sex offender and ex-porn-actor-turned-racquetball instructor, to potentially collect Fabio's $1.6 million life insurance money. During the trial, prosecutors alleged that Baker and his accomplice Christopher Austin, both wearing hoodies, jogged up to the couple's Woodland Hills home on Jan. 23, 2017, snuck onto the property and attacked Fabio while he was home alone in the backyard watching television. Fabio was attacked from behind and suffered seven stab wounds to the neck, chest and thigh. His femoral and carotid arteries were cut. After Fabio was murdered, Baker and Austin then ransacked the couple's bedroom. At the time, they stole Fabio's 2008 Porsche 911 and the DVR from the garage where the home security footage was stored. Austin, 39, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in January and was later sentenced to 16 years to life in prison in May, per CBS News. During his trial, he testified that Monica had purposefully left the door of their home unlocked the day of the murder and that Baker had told him she wanted Fabio "gone," per the Times. 'Everything he did he did after he got a text message, which told me he was talking to her via text message,' Austin said, according to the Times. 'I did not hear him talk to her on the phone ... but everything happened in sequence.' Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Meanwhile, Baker, 63, entered a no-contest plea to killing Fabio in July 2023 and was sentenced to life without parole. During Monica's trial, he denied that she had anything to do with the murder. 'I murdered him because I wanted her,' he testified, the Times reported. 'She had nothing to do with it.' Read the original article on People

Fairfield neighbors say new playground at Allen Witt Park keeps getting trashed
Neighbors in Fairfield say their brand-new playground looks more like a dumping ground after people have trashed the park with half-eaten food, empty bottles, party decor, soiled diapers and left behind garbage on multiple occasions. Sarah Cisneros The all-inclusive playground at Allen Witt Community Park just opened in early May, when CBS13 shared the community's excitement for the neighborhood's new addition. Sarah Cisneros, who lives just a few minutes from the park, was excited to take her four children there to play, until she says she started noticing others were not treating the new community amenity with any respect. "People have no shame, you know? And it's too bad. It's too bad," said Cisneros. Sarah Cisneros Cisneros sent CBS13 photos she took at the playground over the weekend, which show tables left behind with remnants of a party, uneaten food and trash. The trash cans in the playground were also pictured overflowing, with the flower garden behind also littered with garbage just feet from the playset. Cisneros says it was an unsafe environment for children to play in. "There's alcohol bottles fully open sitting right there. That's unacceptable," said Cisneros. She and her husband reported the incident to the city and they say they believe a city team came out the next day to clean up the mess. After posting the photos in a Solano County neighborhood Facebook group, hundreds of comments from community members poured in. Some commented that they had also recently seen the park in this state and others said they were not surprised. "It's just trashed all around. It sucks because everyone in the community, as soon as everyone saw this [new playground] was getting built up, we all said, 'this is not gonna last,' " said Cisneros. She is disappointed that some community members are selfishly choosing not to clean up after themselves, setting a bad example for the children attending the park who have to play in garbage. Cisneros says that after giving the park multiple chances, she does not wish to take her children back to play. "Because I don't want my kids running around in trash. If I don't let them do this in my own house why would I want them to be in the public, roaming around in trash? It sucks because now all they say is, 'why don't we go to the park?' " said Cisneros. She is asking the city to step in with a solution -- whether it's more cameras, more trash cans or more park maintenance patrols to try and catch those trashing the park in the act. Either way, she's asking for more accountability at Allen Witt Park so families can continue to enjoy the new playground.
