Flight Attendant's murder update - WATCH TONIGHT AT FIVE AND SIX to hear Cindi Sciarrone's heartbroken sister describe Cindi and their feelings about the murder charge against Cindi's ex husband Dr. Richard Seith @WPBF25News


Because the Sciarrone family is leaving town soon and won't be back until after Labor Day - their sister's alleged killer Dr. Richard Seith will stay in jail until a bond hearing Oct 9. @WPBF25News
Whoops - loophole lets defense ask for a five day extension. the new lawyer told Judge she's not prepared and he said I hope you read the case before you walked in here - that's not very good representation. So now they're delaying hearing. @WPBF25News
Judge says he's going to move forward with the pre-trial detention hearing now for Dr. Richard Seith - Stuart eye surgeon charged with 1st degree murder in the shooting death of his ex-wife CIndi Sciarrone @WPBF25News

So atty Richard Barlow says Seith doesn't want him as lawyer anymore - there are two new ones but they say they're brand new on the case and not ready for this bond hearing @WPBF25News
Dr. Richard Seith has three attorneys lined up before Judge Howard Coates - asking for bond and pretrial detention. He's charged with gunning down his ex-wife Cindi Sciarrone last week after stalking her @WPBF25News
NOW- Dr Richard Seith just indicted for first degree murder in the shooting of his ex wife flight attendant Cindi Sciarrone smiles as he awaits his upcoming hearing @WPBF25News

Comey out - what are the allegations I wonder? Comey is the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, who President Donald Trump fired during his first term in office because he initiated the Russia investigation.
NEWS - DOJ fired Maurene Comey from the United States Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York today, where she most recently led the prosecution of Sean Combs, multiple sources tell me @AaronKatersky @MLevineReports
Mark Epstein tells me someone murdered his brother and the DOJ video doesn’t prove anything - in fact it raises more questions - Watch to see why @WPBF25News #epstein wpbf.com/article/epstei…
BREAKING: Former Palm Beach County teacher Damian Conti found guilty of four charges in underage sex case and not guilty assisting in attempted suicide #damiancontitrial @WPBF25News
Damian Conti put into shackles after closing arguments. Jury now has the case. Both sides seem confident #damiancontitrial @WPBF25News

Defense atty Boehmer says it was a fantasy between Damian Conti and his student - they never had sex so sexted instead. But no evidence “means reasonable doubt” #damiancontitrial @WPBF25News

ASA Ruggiero tells jurors they have proved every bit of this case against former teacher Damian Conti - the underage sex acts were “not role play - not a fairy tale” #damiancontitrial @WPBF25News

Closing arguments beginning in the Damian Conti trial - Ruggiero up first. @WPBF25News #damiancontitrial
NOW - the Defense rests after one detective interview. They are arguing for a directed verdict of acquittal that Damian Conti assisted in the teen gf’s attempted suicide #damiancontitrial @WPBF25News
Judge Coates still on the fence about assisted suicide charge -he will reserve ruling until the verdict. one point was "would a reasonable jury find the evidence enough to convict on this?" i guess if the jury finds him guilty on that the answer will be moot #damiancontitrial

Ruggiero argues while Conti may have been saying "don't kill yourself" his actions belied his words. He called 911 but pretended to be looking for the girl when he actually had never left the Burger King parking lot next to Home Depot #damiancontitrial @WPBF25News
Judge wants state to convince him he should keep assisted suicide charge in - Ruggiero gives vigorous argument - "he took deliberate steps - over 20 minutes before calling 911 -He was taking steps to cover his butt." #damiancontitrial @WPBF25News

After arguments, Judge Howard Coates denies Damian Conti's motion to dismiss the 5th charge of assisting in the teen's attempted suicide. He says he will revisit it later though - #damiancontitrial @WPBF25News
