In fact, I'll pay half of what you owe. Just send me $100 ,000 and 159 00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:57,720 I'll make up the difference, which was, I think, around $91 ,000. 160 00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:00,620 And I'm like, absolutely, let's do it. 161 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,840 You know, I'm thinking, why not? This is great. You know, she's pushing me 162 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,840 forward too. 163 00:12:08,110 --> 00:12:12,410 Soon after their wedding day, Mike begins writing checks to Dahlia. 164 00:12:16,410 --> 00:12:20,470 He also adds her name to the new love nest he's bought. 165 00:12:21,170 --> 00:12:26,330 But it's not long before he learns that trusting his new wife might not have 166 00:12:26,330 --> 00:12:27,510 been the best idea. 167 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:32,110 As soon as that wire was to be sent, the games began. 168 00:12:32,370 --> 00:12:34,430 It was off to the races with the games. 169 00:12:35,690 --> 00:12:39,170 Dahlia is supposed to use Mike's money to help him get off probation. 170 00:12:40,430 --> 00:12:41,810 But that never happened. 171 00:12:42,670 --> 00:12:46,130 I mean, anybody that ever gets in trouble, believe me, always wants to get 172 00:12:46,130 --> 00:12:49,690 of trouble. I mean, in my day, I thought I'd come.

Mike DiPolito's sitting there saying, well, you know, there's a lawyer 278 00:20:08,170 --> 00:20:10,250 here. This is the advice. 279 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,440 God, I'm going to get off probation. 280 00:20:14,260 --> 00:20:18,840 All right, let's do it. And sure enough, they get in the car and they travel to 281 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,000 the title company and they transfer the house out of Mike's name and solely into 282 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,420 Dahlia's name. On paper, she thinks she owns that property. 283 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:34,660 But the reality was Florida is a 50 -50 mutual 284 00:20:34,660 --> 00:20:37,240 property state. In other words, it doesn't matter. 285 00:20:38,030 --> 00:20:44,630 whose name is on the deed, the only way she could have become the sole owner of 286 00:20:44,630 --> 00:20:48,950 that condominium is if he wound up dead. 287 00:20:53,570 --> 00:20:59,470 And so, at the end of July, Dahlia meets her old lover, Mohamed Shehadeh, at a 288 00:20:59,470 --> 00:21:02,170 gas station near the interstate in Boynton Beach. 289 00:21:02,430 --> 00:21:06,790 He says that during their meeting, she asks him about a hitman. 290 00:21:07,210 --> 00:21:09,930 and then tries to steal a gun he has in his car. 291 00:21:10,430 --> 00:21:13,050 I didn't know if she was going to do something with the guns or if she was 292 00:21:13,050 --> 00:21:15,890 to give them to somebody to do something for them. So the first thing I thought 293 00:21:15,890 --> 00:21:16,890 was my defense. 294 00:21:17,070 --> 00:21:19,290 You know, obviously they're registered to me.

I told her to get the hell out of the car. 309 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,940 But that's not all he has to say. 310 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,560 She asked if I knew someone who can kill her husband for her. 311 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,120 I said, basically, no, I don't. 312 00:22:15,340 --> 00:22:16,520 And when did she ask you that? 313 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:18,960 Yesterday.
