Dalia Dippolito, So. Fla. woman, found guilty of murder-for-hire in husband's killing
"You've seen a greedy, manipulative, evil woman who won't stop at anything to get what she wants," prosecutor Elizabeth Parker said in closing arguments, reports the station.
Prosecutors say she plotted to kill her husband Michael Dippolito in August 2009. She was seen on police surveillance telling the hit man, who was really an undercover police officer, that she was sure she wanted Michael Dippolito dead, according to the station.
Dippolito claims she was acting for a reality TV show.
But prosecutors said the reality TV defense was blown when Dippolito did not respond properly when police set up a fake crime scene, telling her that her husband was dead.
"If this was a reality show stunt, when she was told by Sgt. Ramesy that her husband had been killed her real reaction would have been , 'what do you mean how was he killed? This was a stunt! He can't really be dead!" Parker said, the station reports.
Dippolito could face up to 30 years in prison at her sentencing, which is scheduled for June 16.
