DESCRIPTION:
Interesting look at the case, but some problems with the author's perspective and overall readability I first got interested in this case when I saw the COPS episode, then watched the many videos posted online. There is some interesting stuff in here to be sure (especially the first murder attempt using anti-freeze which didn't get as much publicity), and it is good to see how a prosecutor's office prepares for a big high profile case. I also appreciated that the author gave the defense attorney his due. He had the almost impossible job of trying to make chicken salad out ofwell you know and he did the best he could given the facts of the case.Howeverthere are two major problems with the book:1. The author . Ben Pumpiner said Disregard the "Fiction" Claims. It's amazing to me that people are posting reviews that this case is fiction. Get a computer and learn how to Google! It's absolutely a shockingly notorious casethe trial was broadcast live! You can YouTube her conversations with a undercover "Hitman", with the guy who turned her in, the ridiculous denials while being interviewed by police. The infamous video of her reaction to the staged murder scene. The jailhouse phone calls The book is great to see the inside version of the prosecution. It's a very interesting readnot going to win any awards. But it's definitely not fiction, and for any review to claim . "Fact is Stranger Than Fiction" according to Belinda. "Poison Candy" provides an in-depth look at the Dippolito murder-for-hire case where Dalia conspired to have her husband Mike murdered. The story is something out of a Hollywood movie: boiler room scams, felons, prostitution, drugs, a less than year-long marriage, and an extravagant lifestyle that contributed to both Dalia and Mike's downfalls. Dalia, painted to be a woman to whom no man could say no, had affairs, one of her "friends with benefits", Mohammed, being the one to turn her into the police in an attempt at escaping prosecution. Dalia caught him in her web of lies and Mohammed knew if he didn't do
Not only had the police been filming, but the TV show COPS’ cameras were also there. This is an engagingly told, eyebrow-raising story of a nice guy with a bad past; a manipulative, brazen almost-murderess; and thugs, both softhearted and heartless, that is spiced with trial excerpts and the intricacies of Florida’s legal system. In fact, the Boynton Beach Police Department posted the video online the next day. The bad news is that the young bride herself hired the hit man and thus was faking her shock and horror. From Booklist Readers may be familiar with
Days later, it seemed as if all had gone according to plan. In August 2009, former madam Dalia Dippolito conspired with a hit man to arrange her ex-con husband’s murder. Frank Ranzie of the Boynton Beach, Florida, police informed her of her husband Michael’s apparent murder, the newlywed Dippolito can be seen on surveillance video collapsing into the cop’s arms, like any loving wife wouldor any wife who was pretending to be loving would. The Cops video went viral, sparking a media frenzy: twisted tales of illicit drugs, secret boyfriends, sex-for-hire, a cuckolded former con man, and the defense’s ludicrous claim that the entire hit had been staged by the intended victim for reality TV fame.In Poison Candy, case prosecutor Elizabeth Parker teams with bestselling crime writer Mark Ebner take y
