Antonetta Baldassarre is facing up to 15 years in jail after she pled guilty to killing her 80-year-old husband in 2014.
Ms. Baldassarre admitted to the Staten Island D.A. that she beat her husband to death with a crowbar and placed his body in the bathtub before she staged her Staten Island home to look like an arsonist had struck.
Ms. Baldassarre said she killed her 80-year-old husband because she was tired of his constant physical abuse.
The FDNY found Ms. Baldassarre in the burning house with duct tape over her feet and mouth.
Baldassarre confessed that she had bound herself to corroborate her false arson claim.
