It looks like the trial has been severed into 2 trials. I remember reading about separate trials quite awhile ago.

I’d bet the separate trials are required because each will point the finger of blame toward the other. I don’t recall the name of this defence strategy but it’s based on the hope the jury will be uncertain of who was involved in the murder and as a result of reasonable doubt, will acquit each of them. Good luck I say because it won’t work.

The most despicable aspect of this case IMO, aside from the murder of Fabio, is allegedly setting the murder up so his youngest daughter would discover her dad’s body.

LA Judge Refuses Enhanced Prison Term For Wife Who Stabbed Renowned Hairstyle Husband, Fabio Sementilli
“The indictment alleges that Monica Sementilli forwarded an email to Baker about how to access her home video surveillance system, notified him that her husband would be alone on the afternoon of Jan. 23 and then left to go shopping to establish an alibi for the time of the killing.

Monica Sementilli waited for her youngest daughter to arrive home to find her father’s body before returning to their home, and subsequently called a Los Angeles Police Department detective several times to inquire why her husband’s life insurance policy proceeds were being withheld, according to the indictment...”
