1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:08,140
In this episode of American Greed, this
story begins and ends with sex.
2
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:13,600
South Florida newlywed Dahlia DiPolito
takes her husband's money.
3
00:00:14,140 --> 00:00:18,520
Dahlia was the puppeteer. She
manipulated everybody. She called the
4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,960
did what she wanted. Then she plots to
take his life.
5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,800
She was talking about having me killed,
like ordering, you know, a bologna
6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,800
sandwich.
7
00:00:30,270 --> 00:00:33,950
Didn't mean anything to her, you know,
and that's the creepy part of it. It's a
8
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:36,330
real -life made -for -TV tale.
9
00:00:36,710 --> 00:00:38,670
Okay, I'm sorry to tell you, ma 'am,
he's been killed.
10
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:44,510
With a femme fatale you won't soon
forget.
11
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:48,450
She's not a sweet, little, innocent
girl.
12
00:00:49,070 --> 00:00:51,810
I didn't do anything, and I didn't want
anything.
13
00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:53,130
She will manipulate.
14
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:04,900
But will she hire someone to kill?
15
00:01:31,630 --> 00:01:38,130
On an early August morning, newlywed
Dahlia DiPolito is at this Florida gym
16
00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:42,090
she gets a life -changing call from the
Boynton Beach Police Department.
17
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:46,050
Ma
18
00:01:46,050 --> 00:01:57,190
'am,
19
00:01:57,230 --> 00:02:00,430
I'll tell you everything you need to
know when you get here. Okay? Thank you.
20
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:05,150
Married just six months,
21
00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:11,070
Dahlia returns home, where cameras bear
witness as she receives the news that
22
00:02:11,070 --> 00:02:12,590
every spouse fears.
23
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:14,750
Mr. Pulido?
24
00:02:15,090 --> 00:02:18,210
I'm Sergeant Ramsey. I'm the one that
called you. Thank you for coming. I'm
25
00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:21,990
sorry to call you. Listen, we had a
report of a disturbance at your house,
26
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:22,990
there were shots fired.
27
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:24,290
Is your husband Michael?
28
00:02:25,070 --> 00:02:27,030
Okay, I'm sorry to tell you, ma 'am,
he's been killed.
29
00:02:28,490 --> 00:02:29,530
He's been killed, ma 'am.
30
00:02:32,140 --> 00:02:38,480
As the news sinks in, she appears
inconsolable, and police escort her to a
31
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,480
waiting car.
32
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:42,440
At
33
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:49,360
the
34
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,240
police station, Danya is ushered into a
small room where a detective comes to
35
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,700
greet her, and at first, to comfort her
as well.
36
00:02:58,540 --> 00:03:00,240
First of all, let me just tell you...
37
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:18,780
As questioning begins, the cops lean on
her for help.
38
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,060
But a few minutes in, things take a
turn.
39
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,240
Are you sure that you don't know anybody
who'd want to kill your husband?
40
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:29,120
You wouldn't want to kill my husband.
41
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:31,350
Not at all.
42
00:03:32,910 --> 00:03:37,130
We are fine. Like, there's nothing.
There's no problems between you guys? No
43
00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:38,190
financial problems?
44
00:03:38,410 --> 00:03:42,170
No... I mean, with your family? You and
him?
45
00:03:42,530 --> 00:03:43,590
No, there's nothing.
46
00:03:43,950 --> 00:03:48,950
What this grieving widow doesn't know is
that her late husband of just half a
47
00:03:48,950 --> 00:03:50,630
year isn't dead.
48
00:03:51,530 --> 00:03:53,230
He's actually here at the station.
49
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,260
receiving some shocking news of his own.
50
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:57,800
The
51
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:08,220
unbelievable
52
00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:14,200
story of these two star -crossed lovers
begins less than a year earlier with an
53
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,300
unlikely encounter.
54
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,360
I can tell you I didn't meet her in
church.
55
00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:24,510
One fateful night, with his first wife
out of town, Mike DiPolito goes looking
56
00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:27,630
for extramarital action and finds
Dahlia.
57
00:04:27,970 --> 00:04:31,690
Mike contacted Dahlia through an escort
website.
58
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:38,430
He sees a nice, curvy, dusky, exotic
woman for like 300 bucks.
59
00:04:38,650 --> 00:04:40,470
And he's like, wow, why not?
60
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:45,370
He paid her for her services that day,
but they had, as he described it, a very
61
00:04:45,370 --> 00:04:46,370
unusual connection.
62
00:04:48,490 --> 00:04:49,490
Typical love story.
63
00:04:50,860 --> 00:04:54,080
If Mike likes what he sees, so does
Dahlia.
64
00:04:54,780 --> 00:05:00,240
DiPolito runs a successful marketing
company, drives a Porsche, and clearly
65
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,260
cash to spare.
66
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,800
One date leads to others, and soon a
bond is formed.
67
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:12,000
When I met Dahlia, we seemed to connect
instantly.
68
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,520
We would spend days together and...
69
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,920
We shared a lot of the same interests,
and we would do things together all the
70
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,080
time, and it just, we hit it off right
away.
71
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,100
Things move fast.
72
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,560
But just who is the woman Mike has
welcomed into his life?
73
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,460
So Dahlia grew up here in South Florida.
74
00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:37,860
My understanding is in a very strict
Catholic home.
75
00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:40,780
Went to religious school.
76
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,200
You know, she could have had a nice life
in Florida, but as soon as she turned
77
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,580
18... Things took a different direction
for Dahlia.
78
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:58,260
That direction is largely dictated by a
power Dahlia possesses and knows how
79
00:05:58,260 --> 00:05:59,260
to use.
80
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,180
Dahlia had learned from a very young age
that she could use her body to
81
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:10,300
manipulate men to get money, to get, you
know, anything that she wanted.
82
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:13,800
I mean, she owned every man in her life.
83
00:06:16,409 --> 00:06:22,390
unsettling and bizarre as to the hold
that she had on these men and what she
84
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:23,750
could get them to do.
85
00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:30,690
Though he's not aware of it, Mike is
just one of many men under Dahlia's
86
00:06:31,170 --> 00:06:34,370
She had these really short shorts on,
this really tight, tight shirt.
87
00:06:34,650 --> 00:06:35,650
I mean, she was cute.
88
00:06:39,790 --> 00:06:43,690
Mohammed Shehadeh first met Dahlia in
the early 2000s.
89
00:06:44,010 --> 00:06:47,610
when she visited his convenience store
in Boca Raton, Florida.
90
00:06:48,810 --> 00:06:51,710
I don't remember what she bought, but
she bought something small, and then
91
00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:53,910
minutes later she came and bought again
something small.
92
00:06:54,130 --> 00:06:56,810
Another five minutes later she came back
and bought another thing.
93
00:06:57,310 --> 00:07:00,970
I remember her saying, well, aren't you
going to ask me for my phone number?
94
00:07:02,150 --> 00:07:06,370
Soon, Mohammed and Dahlia become
friends, with benefit.
95
00:07:07,750 --> 00:07:12,970
But as they get to know each other, he
says he sees her more demanding side.
96
00:07:14,190 --> 00:07:17,410
You know, always wanted to go there,
travel there, travel there, take me
97
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:21,050
do this, do that. You know, if she
didn't get what she wanted, you could
98
00:07:21,050 --> 00:07:22,050
heat a little bit in her.
99
00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:25,950
After a few years, Dahlia moves to
California.
100
00:07:26,530 --> 00:07:30,110
And Mohammed says they lose touch for
now.
101
00:07:31,630 --> 00:07:37,530
Out west, she promotes herself online as
a Colombian college girl looking to
102
00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:39,070
steam things up.
103
00:07:39,910 --> 00:07:41,150
Living in Orange County.
104
00:07:41,690 --> 00:07:46,510
She's supported by another doting male
admirer with whom she shares a bed.
105
00:07:46,870 --> 00:07:50,590
She had a sugar daddy and a guy named
Michael Stanley.
106
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:54,850
This guy was a successful businessman.
He was a contractor.
107
00:07:55,170 --> 00:07:56,830
He had done very well for himself.
108
00:07:59,350 --> 00:08:05,870
When Dahlia returns to Florida around
2008, she finds a new Mike, Mike
109
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:09,550
a man who's also found success.
110
00:08:10,170 --> 00:08:11,910
but is clearly no saint.
111
00:08:12,890 --> 00:08:15,370
Mike DiPolito had a little bit of a rap
sheet already.
112
00:08:15,650 --> 00:08:19,910
Mike DiPolito was raised on the wrong
side of the tracks in Philadelphia.
113
00:08:20,470 --> 00:08:23,490
He admitted that he had a drug problem,
had gone to rehab.
114
00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:31,530
Now, after a lifetime of troubles, Mike
finally feels that with Dahlia, he's
115
00:08:31,530 --> 00:08:32,590
found something good.
116
00:08:33,789 --> 00:08:37,169
We met, and it was everything about it.
We just clicked.
117
00:08:37,820 --> 00:08:42,500
You know, be it our sex life, be it just
our spare time, be it the things we
118
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:44,580
like, all that. And it just happened.
119
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,940
Mike quickly divorces his first wife and
marries Dahlia. And the newlyweds move
120
00:08:49,940 --> 00:08:52,080
into a condo that he purchases.
121
00:08:53,060 --> 00:08:56,900
This was their love shack. This was
their forever home.
122
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:58,900
Right there in Boynton Beach.
123
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:03,140
A nice, cool little quarter million
dollar condo.
124
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,700
She sends him love notes.
125
00:09:06,190 --> 00:09:09,010
And things seemed like they couldn't be
much better.
126
00:09:09,370 --> 00:09:15,410
You know, Mike described that they had a
very, very active, very good sex life.
127
00:09:15,610 --> 00:09:22,270
She was a cult leader, and he was her
congregation, so that he was
128
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:26,250
not very aware of what was going on
around him.
129
00:09:27,050 --> 00:09:31,290
Next on American Greed, hand in hand
till death do they part.
130
00:09:34,990 --> 00:09:37,830
Never saw it coming. No, never saw it
coming.
131
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:43,010
I just, I never saw that coming in a
million years. No.
132
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:58,030
I started giving my wife money because
she was going to provide me with the
133
00:09:58,030 --> 00:09:59,550
other half of the money for probation.
134
00:10:07,020 --> 00:10:14,020
When Mike DiPolito meets Dahlia, he
finished a two -year stint in prison for
135
00:10:14,020 --> 00:10:16,280
his role in a boiler room operation.
136
00:10:17,140 --> 00:10:21,380
Basically what we did, we represented
ourselves as trading foreign currency
137
00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:24,340
options, whereas there was no option to
be traded.
138
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:29,420
Now he's dealing with 28 years of
probation.
139
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,680
and is saddled with cumbersome
restrictions until he pays $191 ,000 in
140
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:37,680
restitution to his victims.
141
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,760
And Dahlia was always wanting to take
trips that might...
142
00:10:42,970 --> 00:10:47,410
Would have to say, I can't go because
I'm on probation and we can't do this
143
00:10:47,410 --> 00:10:50,950
we can't go to Miami for dinner. It did
become a little bit of a source of
144
00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:52,770
contention between the two of them.
145
00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:57,950
Honey, we can't leave the county. You
know, you're not even allowed to travel.
146
00:10:58,150 --> 00:11:02,110
We, you know, I didn't sign up for this.
We got to get you off probation.
147
00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:07,710
Mike has plenty of cash in the bank to
help pay off his restitution.
148
00:11:08,350 --> 00:11:10,870
But former prosecutor Elizabeth Parker
says.
149
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,800
that as the convicted fraudster, if he
writes the check, questions might arise
150
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,800
about its source.
151
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:21,580
You know, the reason he's on probation
is because he scammed people, and
152
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:26,040
certainly there is a school of thought,
you know, amongst the prosecutors, you
153
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,180
know, that maybe the money that he had
currently was not legitimate funds.
154
00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:34,880
If she was writing the checks on his
behalf, it's going to look a lot better
155
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,000
than if he's coming up with...
156
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,860
this money that he might not otherwise
be able to account for.
157
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,620
Dahlia quickly, you know, volunteered,
yes, you know, I'll help you get off
158
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:54,380
probation. 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. I thought we made this
173
00:12:49,690 --> 00:12:53,750
payment, you know, it's in a form of a
wire that's supposed to be arriving any
174
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:54,749
day.
175
00:12:54,750 --> 00:12:56,050
The wire's not there.
176
00:12:56,370 --> 00:12:59,010
You know, my lawyer's like, I don't
know, Mike, I don't see it.
177
00:12:59,470 --> 00:13:04,710
In truth, Dahlia is blowing through
Mike's money, spending it on clothes,
178
00:13:04,990 --> 00:13:09,630
tanning, and jewelry, then withdrawing
much of it as cash.
179
00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:13,830
And that's just the first part of her
devious plan.
180
00:13:14,330 --> 00:13:21,150
She immediately realized how long that
his sentence could be if he violated his
181
00:13:21,150 --> 00:13:22,150
probation.
182
00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:26,290
In her mind, from what we gathered in
court, the easiest way to do that was to
183
00:13:26,290 --> 00:13:27,269
get him arrested.
184
00:13:27,270 --> 00:13:33,650
It's crazy when you think about it, you
know. But for a woman like her,
185
00:13:33,830 --> 00:13:38,510
you know, if she walked away with a half
a million dollars in cash and assets
186
00:13:38,510 --> 00:13:44,090
and he's cooling his butt in prison,
that's exactly where she wanted to be.
187
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:50,950
To enact this plan, Dahlia reconnects
with an old flame, a man she hasn't seen
188
00:13:50,950 --> 00:13:51,950
in years.
189
00:13:52,060 --> 00:13:54,580
Her old lover, Mohamed Shihade.
190
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,360
She said, I want you to help me, you
know, get drugs or, you know, get him to
191
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,360
violate probation.
192
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,700
Because she knew if she violated
probation, he'd be going away for a long
193
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:11,620
In mid -March, she buys Mohamed a Range
Rover with $38 ,000 of her husband's
194
00:14:11,620 --> 00:14:12,620
money.
195
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:17,720
Around this time, police records show
that Mohamed connects her with a cop who
196
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,000
frequents his convenience store.
197
00:14:20,570 --> 00:14:21,790
She calls this cop.
198
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:28,090
She says, this guy, Dipolito, he's
selling drugs, and I'll pay you.
199
00:14:28,890 --> 00:14:33,610
I will literally pay you to bust him.
200
00:14:33,970 --> 00:14:38,990
The cop turned down her shady offer, but
she's far from done.
201
00:14:39,770 --> 00:14:45,190
Over the next few weeks, numerous
agencies pay Mike unwanted visits after
202
00:14:45,190 --> 00:14:48,370
receiving anonymous tips that he's
stealing drugs.
203
00:14:59,170 --> 00:15:02,590
Five and a half years on probation, I
didn't have one run -in with the police.
204
00:15:02,810 --> 00:15:08,150
I'm with this girl six months, and the
whole police department knows me. And I
205
00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:12,030
might as well, you know, I might as well
glow fluorescent, you know. I should
206
00:15:12,030 --> 00:15:13,030
just put lights on me.
207
00:15:15,170 --> 00:15:18,050
Since getting out of prison, Mike says
he's gone clean.
208
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:23,840
But on March 29th, in the parking lot of
an outdoor shopping mall, cops search
209
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,060
his SUV and find a small amount of
cocaine stashed inside a cigarette pack.
210
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,420
You know, I actually started crying to
this cop. I said, I can't believe it. I
211
00:15:33,420 --> 00:15:34,420
don't know what's going on.
212
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,060
And the cop's just talking to me and
he's asking me about my sobriety. And
213
00:15:39,060 --> 00:15:41,340
like, look, man, I haven't done anything
in five and a half years.
214
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:46,080
And, you know, I don't know how, why or
what happened.
215
00:15:46,420 --> 00:15:47,420
They let me go.
216
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:53,620
As Dahlia drives him home that night,
Mike realizes she's the only person who
217
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:54,900
knew they'd be at the mall.
218
00:15:55,460 --> 00:15:59,820
And that was the very first time Mike's
kind of antenna went up, and he looked
219
00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:03,160
at Dahlia, and he asked her, did you
plant these drugs?
220
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:05,160
Did you have anything to do with it?
221
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:07,160
And her reaction?
222
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,560
Bam.
223
00:16:09,380 --> 00:16:14,880
Pedal to the metal, 100 -plus miles an
hour down the interstate. How dare you?
224
00:16:15,260 --> 00:16:16,960
How dare you accuse me of that?
225
00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:20,400
And I'm like, fine, fine, just stop,
just stop. I thought you were going to
226
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,400
us.
227
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:26,480
Next on American Greed, Dahlia puts her
dirty fingers to work.
228
00:16:26,980 --> 00:16:31,140
Double X -rated, if that's even a
rating. They were very, very steamy text
229
00:16:31,140 --> 00:16:32,140
messages.
230
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,580
And lures another man into her devious
scheme.
231
00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:38,320
He strikes me as a very lonely guy.
232
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,360
On the day of his wife's arrest, Mike
DiPolito tells police the reason he
233
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,540
his wife has been plotting against him.
234
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,760
Nobody knew we were there. Nobody had
access to my vehicle. What was the
235
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,240
motivation to do that?
236
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:05,459
You're on probation.
237
00:17:05,460 --> 00:17:06,880
At that point, yes.
238
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,099
And at that point, she already had
stolen a hundred and some thousand
239
00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:12,099
from me.
240
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:16,579
And so now I'm out a hundred thousand
dollars and she got me involved in
241
00:17:16,579 --> 00:17:17,579
scheme.
242
00:17:17,819 --> 00:17:21,579
to where I lost another $90 ,000 or
another $100 ,000 trying to, you know.
243
00:17:22,140 --> 00:17:25,359
Basically, I lost $240 ,000 with this
girl.
244
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:33,040
After handing over $100 ,000, Mike
DiPolito says that because of his wife,
245
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,220
loses nearly $140 ,000 more.
246
00:17:36,380 --> 00:17:40,640
It was like the worst kind of comedy. It
was like, who's on first? What's going
247
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,800
on? Where's my money?
248
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,180
Still, Mike has more that Dahlia wants.
249
00:17:46,030 --> 00:17:49,470
And she needs to make sure he doesn't
kick her to the curb.
250
00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:53,970
To buy time, she comes to him with news.
251
00:17:54,570 --> 00:17:55,570
She's pregnant.
252
00:17:55,770 --> 00:17:59,630
You know, she went as far as to be
taking prenatal vitamins and reading
253
00:17:59,630 --> 00:18:01,810
books with me and picking baby names.
254
00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:08,730
She was, A, buying time, B, diverting
his attention
255
00:18:08,730 --> 00:18:13,730
from the fact that she was embezzling
all his money, and C...
256
00:18:14,629 --> 00:18:18,810
Getting his sympathy, she knew what she
was doing. She was evil.
257
00:18:19,550 --> 00:18:24,910
Whatever her motivation, Dahlia can only
maintain her pregnancy story for so
258
00:18:24,910 --> 00:18:30,490
long. Any day, he's going to figure out
that that's a lie, too. So she's really
259
00:18:30,490 --> 00:18:31,670
backed into a corner.
260
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:39,670
With the clock ticking, Dahlia turns to
a third lover for help, Mike Stanley,
261
00:18:40,030 --> 00:18:42,390
the man she once lived with in
California.
262
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,740
Not having spoken to Stanley for months,
Dahlia begins to send him text
263
00:18:48,740 --> 00:18:49,740
messages.
264
00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:53,220
She knew the right buttons to press.
265
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,160
She knew the right things to say.
266
00:19:01,180 --> 00:19:03,960
And it's a couple of text messages.
267
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:12,540
She'd set the hook and reel him right
back in again. It was almost like magic.
268
00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:15,670
Before long, they're reunited.
269
00:19:16,050 --> 00:19:21,470
And Dahlia and Stanley text about having
her husband's probation violated.
270
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:27,130
And planting drugs in his car.
271
00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:37,230
She also recruits him to play a role in
her scheme.
272
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:41,250
She tells Mike Stanley that
273
00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:47,890
She needs him to play a fake lawyer and
to call Mike DiPolito and give him legal
274
00:19:47,890 --> 00:19:48,890
advice.
275
00:19:54,730 --> 00:19:56,710
The advice DiPolito receives?
276
00:19:57,290 --> 00:20:03,210
To get off probation, he needs to move
his townhouse solely into his wife's
277
00:20:03,210 --> 00:20:08,170
name. 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. They're in my name.
295
00:21:19,650 --> 00:21:20,850
They're legally held in me.
296
00:21:21,070 --> 00:21:25,370
You know, when your guns are gone
missing, whatever happens to those guns
297
00:21:25,370 --> 00:21:28,570
on your liability. So I did what I could
to protect myself.
298
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000
I swear.
299
00:21:38,220 --> 00:21:44,120
On July 31st, 2009, Mohammed goes to the
Boynton Beach Police Department to talk
300
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,340
about his stolen weapon.
301
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:50,140
First, she grabbed my gun out of my
glove compartment. I went inside to grab
302
00:21:50,140 --> 00:21:51,480
Red Bull and pack of cigarettes.
303
00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:54,660
I came back. I put my wallet back in the
glove compartment.
304
00:21:55,020 --> 00:21:56,020
Didn't see my gun.
305
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,220
Seen a purse next to her. I opened her
purse.
306
00:21:58,420 --> 00:21:59,540
I seen my gun in her purse.
307
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,080
I took the gun out of the purse, put it
back in the glove compartment.
308
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:05,440
I got really mad. 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. Yesterday?
314
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:20,880
Okay.
315
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,860
Are you scared for the guy?
316
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,040
Yes.
317
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,660
Next on American Greed.
318
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,660
Police draw Dahlia to a well
-constructed crime scene.
319
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:43,940
But there's something they aren't
telling her. I just think it's
320
00:22:43,940 --> 00:22:49,980
murder porn with a twist. And the twist
is, there's no murder.
321
00:23:16,340 --> 00:23:22,900
It's the day after Mohammed Shahadeh
first
322
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:24,760
ratted out his lover to the cops.
323
00:23:25,260 --> 00:23:27,520
Now he's working for them.
324
00:23:28,980 --> 00:23:31,400
Are you good to go? Yeah, I'm good to
go. All right.
325
00:23:32,490 --> 00:23:37,150
At their request, he's told Dalia
DiPolito that he can get her a hitman.
326
00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:40,310
And they're watching as Dalia gets in
his car.
327
00:23:42,130 --> 00:23:47,150
She has no idea Mohammed is wearing a
recorder, and that he's even told police
328
00:23:47,150 --> 00:23:51,010
that with her, they shouldn't hide it in
his pants.
329
00:23:52,130 --> 00:23:55,730
You know, when you meet somebody in the
car, in the parking lot, you know, stuff
330
00:23:55,730 --> 00:23:58,370
happens, so pants was the wrong place to
put it.
331
00:24:00,730 --> 00:24:03,110
Mohammed's concerns prove unfounded.
332
00:24:04,110 --> 00:24:10,310
The only business they get down to is
discussing a hitman, working out an
333
00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:12,830
initial down payment for his deadly
services.
334
00:24:15,570 --> 00:24:22,290
To make sure the job gets done, she
gives Mohammed a
335
00:24:22,290 --> 00:24:25,970
picture of her home and two photos of
the man she wants dead.
336
00:24:29,690 --> 00:24:35,530
As she plots her husband's death, Dahlia
hardly seems worried about getting
337
00:24:35,530 --> 00:24:36,530
caught.
338
00:24:38,370 --> 00:24:39,070
And
339
00:24:39,070 --> 00:24:49,650
with
340
00:24:49,650 --> 00:24:53,970
that, she hands over the cash.
341
00:24:54,610 --> 00:24:58,990
As soon as she hands him money, done
deal.
342
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,680
They could have swooped in and made a
bust right there.
343
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,820
They didn't. This story is just
beginning to play itself out.
344
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:13,340
After having Mohammed make an intro,
cops are watching two days later as
345
00:25:13,340 --> 00:25:19,100
goes to meet the so -called hitman,
who's actually an undercover police
346
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,640
Even though the consequences of this
meeting are dire, Dahlia bats her
347
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,360
as though she's meeting a new escort
client.
348
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:56,060
Dahlia listens intently as he explains
what he has planned.
349
00:26:04,499 --> 00:26:06,740
She likes what she hears.
350
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:12,380
So they discuss a fair price, and she
gives him directions to the love nest
351
00:26:12,380 --> 00:26:13,380
shares with Mike.
352
00:26:16,060 --> 00:26:21,660
As they make plans, Dahlia agrees to
clear out at the appointed time.
353
00:26:28,679 --> 00:26:34,120
And Dahlia let this supposed murderer
know just how certain she is.
354
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,000
Dahlia is 5 ,000 % sure.
355
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,720
And so, on the morning of August 5th, as
she prepares to leave her house, It
356
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,620
seems that a slight worry may be
crossing her mind.
357
00:26:57,140 --> 00:27:01,660
Just not for the husband who she thinks
will soon be dead.
358
00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:07,360
At the end of the day, she doesn't know
this hitman from Adam, and she doesn't
359
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:12,380
want him taking her assets, taking her
jewelry. She leaves and she goes to the
360
00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:18,940
gym. She had over $30 ,000 worth of
jewelry in her expensive
361
00:27:18,940 --> 00:27:19,940
Prada bag.
362
00:27:20,460 --> 00:27:25,680
Dahlia DiPolito is a horrible person,
right to the core. All you have to look
363
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,180
is the fact that she cleared out the
house of all the valuables on the very
364
00:27:31,180 --> 00:27:36,560
of this intended hit to make sure that
no matter what, she got hers.
365
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,720
When Dahlia heads to the gym, cops clear
Mike out of his home and get to work
366
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,780
constructing the perfect scene for their
big reveal.
367
00:27:48,140 --> 00:27:52,220
The entire street is blocked off.
There's police cars everywhere.
368
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,240
There's crime scene tape.
369
00:27:54,480 --> 00:28:00,140
They had one guy stationed at the door
looking like he was lifting prints. You
370
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:03,560
know, they had everything in place. They
had cameras going.
371
00:28:03,820 --> 00:28:08,100
And there was no murder. It was just all
to see her reactions. And they really
372
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:10,600
wanted to make her believe that Mike
DiPolito was dead.
373
00:28:12,250 --> 00:28:15,290
I'm Sergeant Ramsey. I'm the one that
called you. Thank you for coming. I'm
374
00:28:15,290 --> 00:28:19,070
sorry to call you. Listen, we had a
report of a disturbance at your house,
375
00:28:19,070 --> 00:28:20,070
there were shots fired.
376
00:28:20,230 --> 00:28:21,370
Is your husband Michael?
377
00:28:22,130 --> 00:28:24,110
Okay, I'm sorry to tell you, ma 'am,
he's been killed.
378
00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:26,590
He's been killed, ma 'am.
379
00:28:28,410 --> 00:28:35,330
Generally, that kind of shocking news
that is given to somebody, it takes a
380
00:28:35,330 --> 00:28:36,450
for it to register.
381
00:28:37,370 --> 00:28:39,530
But before he said the word killed.
382
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,380
She's already crying. Okay, I'm sorry to
tell you, ma 'am, he's been killed.
383
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,160
The tape is a wondrous thing to behold.
384
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:50,400
She thinks she's zooming them.
385
00:28:51,180 --> 00:28:53,800
They know that they're zooming her.
386
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,700
We're going to do everything we can,
okay?
387
00:28:56,900 --> 00:29:01,600
So we need your help. And everything is
just all coming together into this
388
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:08,200
dramatic moment where she falls apart in
this false grief.
389
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:16,500
And then it's just pure histrionics from
then out all the way through.
390
00:29:20,820 --> 00:29:26,180
Next on American Greed, the cops have a
surprise for Danyam.
391
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,400
There's no more games with you and I.
392
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,600
Now we're going to get down to serious
business.
393
00:29:30,860 --> 00:29:32,260
I want to know if you know this guy.
394
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,560
Come here.
395
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:35,840
Bring this guy in here.
396
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,460
This investigation has been going on
since Friday night.
397
00:29:51,260 --> 00:29:55,080
Fortunately, you know, we ended up
getting ourselves involved in, you know,
398
00:29:55,100 --> 00:29:56,540
preventing this from happening to you.
399
00:29:57,980 --> 00:30:00,860
You say it doesn't surprise you at all,
huh? No.
400
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:03,280
It's like a bad movie, you know.
401
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:09,820
On August 5th, 2009, Boynton Beach
police are talking to both Mike DiPolito
402
00:30:09,820 --> 00:30:13,300
his wife Dahlia, who doesn't yet know
what she's stepped into.
403
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,920
And seems more than confident that she
can find a way out.
404
00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:23,000
Dolly is sitting there thinking, they
don't have anything on me.
405
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,360
They don't know.
406
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,920
Are you sure that you don't know anybody
who would want to kill your husband?
407
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,600
You would want to kill him.
408
00:30:30,940 --> 00:30:31,940
Not at all.
409
00:30:32,820 --> 00:30:39,300
But she has no idea the evidence that
law enforcement had until they start to
410
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:42,280
unfold that evidence piece by piece.
411
00:30:43,050 --> 00:30:44,490
I want to know if you know this guy.
412
00:30:45,770 --> 00:30:46,770
Come here.
413
00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:48,050
Put this guy in here.
414
00:30:48,490 --> 00:30:54,750
This guy is the undercover cop whose car
Dahlia sat in just days ago, saying she
415
00:30:54,750 --> 00:30:59,370
was 5 ,000 % sure she wanted him to kill
her husband.
416
00:30:59,810 --> 00:31:00,890
You know who this guy is?
417
00:31:01,130 --> 00:31:02,790
No. You've never seen him before?
418
00:31:02,990 --> 00:31:05,570
I've never seen him before, ever. Do you
know her?
419
00:31:06,350 --> 00:31:08,430
Put your head up and look at her. Put
your head up.
420
00:31:08,630 --> 00:31:09,630
I've never seen him.
421
00:31:10,090 --> 00:31:11,930
What were you doing coming out of her
house?
422
00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:15,870
He's not here.
423
00:31:28,750 --> 00:31:32,210
You're going to jail today for
solicitation of murder. You're under
424
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:34,830
That's an undercover police officer.
425
00:31:35,210 --> 00:31:36,250
What do you want to do?
426
00:31:37,350 --> 00:31:39,610
What do you want to do here? I didn't do
anything.
427
00:31:40,350 --> 00:31:41,870
Listen to me. I didn't do anything.
428
00:31:42,230 --> 00:31:43,810
You're going to jail.
429
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Tell me you didn't do anything.
430
00:31:48,180 --> 00:31:49,180
I didn't do anything.
431
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,000
You're going to jail today.
432
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,160
Police have Dahlia dead to rights.
433
00:31:56,980 --> 00:32:00,400
And after putting her in cuffs, they
have another surprise.
434
00:32:01,660 --> 00:32:05,400
The husband she wanted dead survived her
best efforts.
435
00:32:05,780 --> 00:32:08,060
And they walk him by her open door.
436
00:32:25,230 --> 00:32:26,230
Come here.
437
00:32:26,670 --> 00:32:33,550
As she leaves the police station,
charged with a
438
00:32:33,550 --> 00:32:36,390
single count of solicitation to commit
first -degree murder,
439
00:32:37,270 --> 00:32:42,030
Dahlia declares her innocence before an
already gathering media frenzy.
440
00:32:55,660 --> 00:33:00,340
She continues to make the claim from
behind bars that same day, placing an
441
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:02,280
unexpected call to her husband.
442
00:33:04,780 --> 00:33:09,760
Amazingly, after trying to have him
killed, she wants him to help her hire a
443
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,700
lawyer and tries to convince him that
this is all one big misunderstanding.
444
00:33:22,190 --> 00:33:25,150
how you're going to actually have the
nerve to sit here and lie to me now.
445
00:33:25,650 --> 00:33:26,650
I don't understand.
446
00:33:26,850 --> 00:33:31,970
Like, I heard you say it, Dahlia. I saw
your mouth do it.
447
00:33:33,090 --> 00:33:34,090
Okay?
448
00:33:35,250 --> 00:33:39,310
I can't help you even if I wanted to. Do
you get it? Why don't you want to?
449
00:33:40,170 --> 00:33:42,490
It's out of my hands. You're not even
trying.
450
00:33:42,850 --> 00:33:45,930
It's different if you're trying. You're
not even trying. What could I possibly
451
00:33:45,930 --> 00:33:46,929
do for you?
452
00:33:46,930 --> 00:33:48,510
I don't get it. What could I do?
453
00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:49,710
You're not even trying.
454
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,100
As she again attempts to manipulate him,
Mike makes his wife an offer.
455
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:01,380
While she's locked up, he'll look after
her mother if she gives him back his
456
00:34:01,380 --> 00:34:02,380
townhouse.
457
00:34:36,129 --> 00:34:41,710
Next on American Greed, a questionable
decision by police officers.
458
00:34:42,190 --> 00:34:48,670
It just boggles my mind that they
allowed the cop show to be part of this.
459
00:34:49,179 --> 00:34:51,300
Will it give Dahlia a shot at freedom?
460
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,860
This is a case about a rogue police
department.
461
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,520
Okay, I'm sorry to tell you, ma 'am,
he's been killed.
462
00:35:09,740 --> 00:35:10,960
He's been killed, ma 'am.
463
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,020
If the saga of Dahlia DiPolito seems too
good to be true...
464
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:19,380
Some observers say there's a reason why.
465
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:25,480
You couldn't have handed the media a
better story. It has sex.
466
00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:28,200
It has a murder plot.
467
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:31,240
It has a femme fatale.
468
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,140
It really has all the elements for good
TV.
469
00:35:35,460 --> 00:35:37,700
Why? Because it was good TV.
470
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:39,500
They put on an amazing show.
471
00:35:39,740 --> 00:35:44,640
As the sting was ramping up, The Boynton
Beach Police Department invited the
472
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,020
show Cops to film the final hours of
their operation.
473
00:35:49,620 --> 00:35:52,440
You need to come with me to the police
station. You're not in trouble.
474
00:35:53,260 --> 00:35:55,540
Your wife has hired a person to kill
you.
475
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,700
In the years ahead, the department's
decision will come back to haunt them.
476
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:08,120
I just, it just boggles my mind that
they allowed the cop show to be part
477
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,400
of this. Essentially, what they were
doing was...
478
00:36:11,740 --> 00:36:16,520
Setting up her original defense, the
reality show defense.
479
00:36:23,860 --> 00:36:30,420
When Jalya goes to trial in 2011, her
lawyers try to say she's not a criminal.
480
00:36:30,740 --> 00:36:34,560
She's the victim of her husband's desire
for fame.
481
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:40,140
The evidence will show that the plot for
the contract killing of Mike DiBellito.
482
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,200
was never real.
483
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,520
It was a stunt.
484
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:51,480
It was a hoax, a ruse, a plan that Mike
DiPolito, whether he'll admit it or not,
485
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:56,640
hoped to capture the attention of
someone in reality TV.
486
00:36:57,620 --> 00:36:58,900
Mike's take on this?
487
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:01,140
The silliest thing I've ever heard.
488
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:06,080
I mean, completely made up. And to walk
in that courtroom and to make that
489
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,160
accusation and to not back it up at all,
490
00:37:10,830 --> 00:37:13,150
you know, is even sillier.
491
00:37:13,410 --> 00:37:16,070
Mike DiPolito, however, had other ideas.
492
00:37:16,350 --> 00:37:20,150
And the result has been devastating to
Dahlia DiPolito.
493
00:37:22,590 --> 00:37:26,190
Prosecutor Elizabeth Parker calls Mike
as the first witness.
494
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:28,870
I thought we had a good marriage.
495
00:37:29,270 --> 00:37:30,530
We had some issues.
496
00:37:31,530 --> 00:37:36,010
She also presents the many texts in
which Dahlia and her lover Mike Stanley
497
00:37:36,010 --> 00:37:37,810
plotted against her husband.
498
00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:41,450
She speaks to him for eight minutes. And
during that phone call, she gets a text
499
00:37:41,450 --> 00:37:42,770
from her husband, Mike DiBellito.
500
00:37:43,610 --> 00:37:47,250
And she texts Mike DiBellito back while
she's still on the phone with Mike
501
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:48,770
Stanley. And she says, love you.
502
00:37:49,770 --> 00:37:53,690
And she lets the undercover police
videos speak for themselves.
503
00:37:54,490 --> 00:37:57,710
By the time you get back from the gym,
you're going to find two things. Dead
504
00:37:57,710 --> 00:37:59,990
body in the house, all right, or
nothing.
505
00:38:00,370 --> 00:38:01,370
All right.
506
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:06,760
After a two -week trial, the jury takes
less than three hours to decide Dahlia's
507
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,900
fate. That's account one. We find the
defendant guilty of solicitation to
508
00:38:11,900 --> 00:38:12,900
parts -degree murder.
509
00:38:13,340 --> 00:38:17,100
DiPolito returns to court the next month
for sentencing.
510
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,960
I'll find you guilty, I'll adjudicate
you guilty, and I'm sentencing you to 20
511
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,400
years in the Department of Corrections.
I think that I'm sorry, it's my fault, I
512
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,240
did it, would have gone a long way.
513
00:38:28,730 --> 00:38:33,670
Dahlia once said she's 5 ,000 % sure she
wanted her husband dead.
514
00:38:34,130 --> 00:38:37,870
And when he leaves the courtroom, he
voices his opinion.
515
00:38:38,330 --> 00:38:43,250
I wish we were never here. And as far as
the sentence, I'm 5 ,000 % happy with
516
00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:44,310
it. That's all for now.
517
00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:51,510
But that's not all for Dahlia. Okay, and
at what point in time during this
518
00:38:51,510 --> 00:38:55,830
questioning did Sergeant Sheridan
finally tell you about my address?
519
00:38:57,930 --> 00:38:58,930
At the end.
520
00:38:59,030 --> 00:39:05,750
In 2014, she's granted a new trial on
appeal and begins preparations with a
521
00:39:05,750 --> 00:39:06,810
team of attorneys.
522
00:39:07,410 --> 00:39:10,670
Are you aware whether Cops was filming
the staged crime scene?
523
00:39:11,290 --> 00:39:13,790
Yes, Cops was filming the staged crime
scene.
524
00:39:14,050 --> 00:39:18,890
This time around, her lawyers still
argue Dahlia was set up for a shot at
525
00:39:18,890 --> 00:39:20,170
reality TV fame.
526
00:39:20,860 --> 00:39:25,860
Just not by Mike. They argue that the
Boynton Beach, Florida Police Department
527
00:39:25,860 --> 00:39:31,700
overstepped its authority by creating
this fake crime scene and producing a
528
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:35,840
video, a video that they say was good
television, all created, they say,
529
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,840
for the reality TV show Cops.
530
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:47,500
When the second trial begins in late
2016, seven years after Dahlia's arrest,
531
00:39:48,090 --> 00:39:51,090
America is undergoing a major societal
shift.
532
00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:59,430
Michelle Quesada covers the proceedings
for WPTV in West Palm Beach.
533
00:39:59,750 --> 00:40:02,430
It was great timing for her defense
team.
534
00:40:02,690 --> 00:40:07,950
You need to pay attention in this case
to the conduct of the Boynton Beach
535
00:40:07,950 --> 00:40:08,950
Police Department.
536
00:40:08,970 --> 00:40:13,310
There was so much animosity between
society and police officers in so many
537
00:40:13,310 --> 00:40:16,130
cities across the country, and they used
this.
538
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,000
and were able to make the argument,
well, this was a rogue police
539
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:26,680
This purported investigation had zero,
zero integrity, none.
540
00:40:28,020 --> 00:40:33,100
Boynton Beach police declined offers to
be interviewed by American Greed, but
541
00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:37,540
say they have always stood by the
principled work of their detectives in
542
00:40:37,540 --> 00:40:43,180
case. For Dahlia's defense team,
however, attacking the police department
543
00:40:43,180 --> 00:40:44,180
winning strategy.
544
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:51,060
On the record at this time, I'm now
declaring this case mistried by virtue
545
00:40:51,060 --> 00:40:53,500
the fact that the jury cannot reach
unanimous verdict.
546
00:40:54,540 --> 00:40:59,680
Even though Dahlia and her lawyer
celebrate, six months later, the case
547
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,440
a jury for a third time.
548
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:08,140
We, the jury, find as follows. As to
count one, we find the defendant guilty
549
00:41:08,140 --> 00:41:11,940
solicitation to commit first -degree
murder as charged in the information.
550
00:41:12,940 --> 00:41:15,740
Once again found guilty at sentencing.
551
00:41:16,220 --> 00:41:20,620
Her attorneys reveal that during years
of home detention, Dahlia's become a
552
00:41:20,620 --> 00:41:21,620
mother.
553
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:26,260
It's a fact that in the end gains her
little sympathy from the judge.
554
00:41:27,380 --> 00:41:31,820
It's my job to pass sentence, and that's
what I'm doing. So it's 16 years with
555
00:41:31,820 --> 00:41:33,760
credit for 163 days time served.
556
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,160
Dahlia did not respond to a request from
American Greed for comment.
557
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,700
Her days as a vicious vixen now behind
her.
558
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,240
She has plenty of time to think about
the scheming and plotting that got her
559
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:49,240
here.
560
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:56,720
While she continues to appeal her case,
many are left to wonder how this insane
561
00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:01,580
tale of love, lies, and lust could
really be true.
562
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,440
Hey, it's Florida.
563
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,640
It really does boil down to that. It's
Florida.
564
00:42:14,090 --> 00:42:19,530
The cruel Internet fraud leaves a trail
of broken parts and empty wallets. Every
565
00:42:19,530 --> 00:42:22,730
day they're out there trolling the
Internet looking for unsuspecting
566
00:42:23,090 --> 00:42:25,150
American Greed, coming up next.
567
00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:27,310
CNBC, get yours.
