Baker claims ex-lover was not involved in murder

Robert Baker testified in court that he killed Fabio Sementilli out of jealousy, claiming his ex-lover, Monica Sementilli, was not involved in the murder. Baker, who is serving a life sentence, stated he was tired of sharing her. Prosecutors allege Monica Sementilli masterminded the plot to kill her husband for insurance money. Baker's testimony contradicted that of Christopher Austin, who pleaded guilty and claimed Monica wanted her husband dead. Baker admitted to lying about details of the murder and his relationship with Monica. Evidence showed the couple deleted messages and used burner phones to communicate after the killing.
