A Toronto family is breathing easier after a Los Angeles judge torpedoed a gambit from the city’s new soft-on-crime district attorney to cut an alleged black widow sentencing slack.
Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen refused to dismiss the special circumstance clause that can potentially send a convicted felon to prison for life without the possibility of parole.
Monica Sementilli, 49, and her boyfriend Robert Louis Baker, 58, are charged with first-degree murder in the insurance slaying of famed Toronto hairstylist Fabio Sementilli, 49, on Jan. 23, 2017, in Los Angeles.
He was stabbed to death on the patio of his Woodland Hills home.
