In court she said it was all a set up for a reality show and her husband was in on it too. Needless to say the jury didn’t believe that either.

She could have been on an alternate reality show called Happily Married, but greed made her end up in a terrible reality show. She destroyed her own happiness. That's the sad reality.
      No amount of money can buy back the miserable year's she will waste in prison. Sadly, her parents will suffer too. They did nothing wrong and now will weep because they have a child in prison. The whole thing is awful.

      I don’t like that he adds details of telling people what someone is thinking when it’s completely untrue and made up. It’s obvious that his wife was not sitting there wondering who could’ve made the calls and where the drugs could’ve come from. There’s other stories where someone dies and he sits there and tells the story about how someone is thinking this or thinking that and then they die. There’s no way of possibly knowing what they were thinking. I understand it’s just to add drama to the story but it’s 100% factually incorrect.

    The ex-boyfriend and the cops are definitely heroes in this strange situation. The ex-boyfriend is for immediately contacting police and the the cops are for using critical thinking and believing in Michael when they totally didn't have to.
    I'm sure those officers were getting sick and tired of repeatedly having to search every square inch of Michael's property. When they finally found the candy they could of easily thrown the book at him since he was on probation and the officers had to of known if they just arrested him it would finally put an end to all the searches. But...
    Nope, instead ruining Michael's life those cops used officer discretion and gave him the benefit of the doubt.

      They met because Michael Dippolito hired her as an escort - he was banging the skank behind his wife's back in his office. Old rubber lips saw he had money, so got her hooks into him.

Met a woman I've been married to for 19 years now. 2 kids, gainfully employed. law abiding individual. I got a second chance. So did this guy Mike.

      I just want to say, good for you for turning your life around! Its not easy, I know first hand. I have a similar story to you where I was put in jail (roughly ten years ago now) and having that experience made me realise that it was not the life I wanted for myself. I had a rough childhood where I was homeless and living on the streets and in refuges since I was 14 years old so I ended up getting mixed up with some bad people who were doing bad things. I had been arrested a couple of times before I was finally put in jail but going to jail was a real wake up call. I am glad that I was ultimately incarcerated because if I hadn't been, I really doubt whether I would have ever turned my life around! Sometimes rehabilitation in the form of a jail sentence really works and that was the case for me. I know it can be hard to turn your life around and I have seen many people attempt to do so unsuccessfully so again , good for you for being able to change your life for the better!

    Very rare do I leave one of MrBallens videos with a big ole grin on my face. Justice was served and no one was harmed in doing so. Not only was no one harmed, but the perpetrator was caught so red handed, filmed, and made a huge laughing example of. This might have been one of the happiest endings to a video and the entire last 1/3 of the video I was actually getting excited to watch everything fall perfectly into place. Great video

    I remember this case, the absolute audacity of this woman! There's more recordings of her talking to Mike and she is fully saying "Noo I didn't say that" when he says "you said you were 5000% sure!" . She just doubles down and denies it, completely gaslighting him and telling him he heard wrong when it's clear as fcking day.

      Well, they never give women the same sentences that men get. What’s funny is that the “biased” jury actually did the right thing the first time, and gave her a proper sentence, only to have it reduced because they were biased in favor of women, like most juries, and they didn’t hold her as accountable as they would have held a man.

      Only reason they cut it was due to her being a woman. Do you think they would have if it had been a guy who did this. Nope.
      But here is the better question. How in the hell do women keep finding hitmen? I hear so many stories of women who do this not nearly as many for guys. Do they like advertize in cycling class or something? I am not looking for one. Just was always curious as to how women always seam to find them or undercover cops who are posing as them.

SHE ACTUALLY PHONED THE MAN SHE TRIED TO HAVE KILLED TO DEMAND HE GET HER OUT OF JAIL. Fortunately, he didn't, and when he refused she got even angrier, and he just let her wallow in her impotent rage. It's an amazing call to listen to.

    You forgot to add one of the best parts -- she called him from jail pleading for his help. She is one of the most sociopathic people I've ever read about but that call from jail was hilarious. She was getting upset with him because her plot to have him killed failed and now he wasn't helping her get out of jail. The phone call audio from when she was in jail is classic. Even though she was caught on video soliciting to have her husband killed, she kept denying that she ever did that despite the clear video evidence. The amount of mental gymnastics one would have to do to actually believe that is incomprehensible -- she really was crazy.

      What's even worse is her case got overturned and still remain as a free person.
