Innocence the prosecution presented a

02:09.150 --> 02:09.160



02:09.160 --> 02:11.550
compelling case against him backed by

02:11.550 --> 02:11.560

testimonies from Price stash and gidry

02:14.070 --> 02:14.080

02:16.280 --> 02:18.390
did have an alibi uh well the time it

02:18.400 --> 02:20.390
happened I was at church with my with my

02:20.390 --> 02:20.400



02:20.400 --> 02:22.750
children true but detectives knew Bob

02:22.750 --> 02:22.760



02:22.760 --> 02:24.030
and Farah were in the middle of a

02:24.030 --> 02:24.040



02:24.040 --> 02:26.470
contentious divorce and custody battle

02:26.470 --> 02:26.480



02:26.480 --> 02:28.190
there was also the matter of the $1,000

02:28.190 --> 02:28.200



02:28.200 --> 02:30.430
in cash found in Bob's Car the fe's

02:30.430 --> 02:30.440



02:30.440 --> 02:33.070
murder's defense attempted to discredit

02:33.070 --> 02:33.080



02:33.080 --> 02:34.869
the witness and challenge the validity

02:34.869 --> 02:34.879



02:34.879 --> 02:37.030
of the evidence but their efforts were

02:37.030 --> 02:37.040



02:37.040 --> 02:39.630
ultimately unsuccessful he is so

02:39.630 --> 02:39.640



02:39.640 --> 02:42.229
self-serving so

02:42.229 --> 02:42.239



02:42.239 --> 02:44.790
egotistical is a you know a classic

02:44.790 --> 02:44.800



02:44.800 --> 02:47.110
narcissistic that believes the world

02:47.110 --> 02:47.120



02:47.120 --> 02:49.990
revolves around him Bob frada is the

02:49.990 --> 02:50.000



02:50.000 --> 02:52.470
epitome of an atomic bomb and he

02:52.470 --> 02:52.480



02:52.480 --> 02:55.390
exploded in a family fr's trial resulted

02:55.390 --> 02:55.400



02:55.400 --> 02:57.550
in his conviction and sentencing to

02:57.550 --> 02:57.560



02:57.560 --> 02:59.990
death in 1996

02:59.990 --> 03:00.000



03:00.000 --> 03:01.750
however the legal battle did not end

03:01.750 --> 03:01.760



03:01.760 --> 03:04.390
there as fraa pursued numerous appeals

03:04.390 --> 03:04.400



03:04.400 --> 03:06.630
and challenges in a bid to overturn his

03:06.630 --> 03:06.640



03:06.640 --> 03:08.670
conviction I can't get that image out of

03:08.670 --> 03:08.680



03:08.680 --> 03:10.789
my mind where he's smiling into at the

03:10.789 --> 03:10.799



03:10.799 --> 03:13.789
camera there are certain cases that

03:13.789 --> 03:13.799



03:13.799 --> 03:16.309
deserve the death penalty and Bob fra is

03:16.309 --> 03:16.319



03:16.319 --> 03:18.509
right at the top of the list but frata

03:18.509 --> 03:18.519



03:18.519 --> 03:20.270
remained on death row for nearly three

03:20.270 --> 03:20.280



03:20.280 --> 03:24.710
decades until his execution in 2023 fra

03:24.710 --> 03:24.720



03:24.720 --> 03:27.670
did not make a last statement he stared

03:27.670 --> 03:27.680



03:27.680 --> 03:29.949
Straight Ahead at the ceiling and did

03:29.949 --> 03:29.959



03:29.959 --> 03:32.550
not acknowledge the victim's Witnesses

03:32.550 --> 03:32.560



03:32.560 --> 03:34.959
at all
