This was important. 628 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 2: According to prosecutors, Latoya's horrific act was motivated by her 629 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 2: lust for rob. 630 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,280 Speaker 4: You can tell that based on the text messages based 631 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 4: on the fact that after the murder they were together, 632 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 4: they moved in together. 633 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 2: And her lust for money. 634 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 3: Their insurance money was very important to LaToya because with 635 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 3: her and Rob working in fast food, it would have 636 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 3: been quite challenging to continue a lifestyle that LaToya had 637 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 3: when she was with Edwin. 638 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 2: So on that Friday, the thirteenth, LaToya made a fatal decision. 639 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 4: When he came home. There in the foyer through the garage. 640 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 4: She's waiting there, and. 641 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 8: We might have to heat these up. 642 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 4: Coya. LaToya attacks her husband with the knife. 643 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 2: Katrina, hearing the commotion from upstairs, left out the front door. 644 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 9: She had heard them argue in. 645 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 2: But that night it wasn't an argument. It was a slaughter. 646 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 8: He was stabbed over thirty times. 647 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 4: He clearly fought for his life. His hands were just 648 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 4: brutally cut up. 649 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 2: But there was no stumping LaToya. 650 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 15: He comes to the garage. I'm bushing here. He was 651 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 15: not expecting that. 652 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 10: I think she had the up a hand advantage. 653 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 2: Then after a few horrific moments, it was all over. 654 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 3: Once Edwin was dead, LaToya went into the kitchen and 655 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 3: washed off the knife and waited for Katrina to return home. 656 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 2: For the prosecutors, the blood spatter on Latoya's shirt proved 657 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 2: she was a killer. 658 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 9: She's there when Edwin is being stabbed. 659 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 2: When it's the defense's turn.
