When Mary Beth said that this was premeditated, 242 00:26:12,958 --> 00:26:15,667 it was a big moment because it's first degree now. 243 00:26:15,708 --> 00:26:17,167 When you have a defendant saying, 244 00:26:17,208 --> 00:26:18,333 "We gave it some forethought 245 00:26:18,417 --> 00:26:19,792 and we decided to kill this person," 246 00:26:19,875 --> 00:26:21,792 it's hard to beat that, it just is. 247 00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:43,333 -

I wasn't surprised that she confessed so quickly. 254 00:26:59,458 --> 00:27:02,292 She was probably connecting all the dots in her head. 255 00:27:02,375 --> 00:27:03,500 She probably was thinking about 256 00:27:03,625 --> 00:27:05,000 what had actually had happened, you know? 257 00:27:05,083 --> 00:27:06,667 And now the police are talking to me like, 258 00:27:06,750 --> 00:27:08,125 that didn't happen by magic. 259 00:27:47,042 --> 00:27:49,083 - She knew that murdering somebody was wrong 260 00:27:49,167 --> 00:27:51,083 but she felt that her dad was suffering 261 00:27:51,167 --> 00:27:53,583 and they're gonna put him out of his misery. 262 00:27:53,667 --> 00:27:55,000 Left to her own devices, I don't think 263 00:27:55,125 --> 00:27:56,917 she would've come up with this plan on her own. 264 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,417 I think she went along with it. 265 00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:31,875 - When Mary Beth Tomaselli started flipping on her sister, 266 00:28:31,958 --> 00:28:34,500 saying whose idea this was and she was involved in it, 267 00:28:34,542 --> 00:28:35,833 the case got a lot better. 268 00:28:35,875 --> 00:28:37,208 We were actually in a very good position 269 00:28:37,292 --> 00:28:39,458 going into our interview with Linda Roberts. 270 00:28:44,458 --> 00:28:47,208 (Mary Beth sobs) 271 00:28:56,708 --> 00:28:58,917 (somber music) 272 00:29:10,167 --> 00:29:12,125 -

I didn't want to tell Linda that we had spoken 279 00:29:27,375 --> 00:29:28,667 to her sister yet 280 00:29:28,792 --> 00:29:30,500 and I really didn't want to talk too much 281 00:29:30,625 --> 00:29:32,000 about being on the wire. 282 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,667 Unless there's a need to give that up, 283 00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:35,208 I'm not gonna give it up. 284 00:29:35,333 --> 00:29:37,333 I don't like telling all the cards that we have all the time. 285 00:29:37,417 --> 00:29:38,875 I want it to come from them. 286 00:31:32,375 --> 00:31:35,167 -

They should remember about Anthony Tomaselli 359 00:42:43,292 --> 00:42:46,417 that he was just an elderly man living his life out. 360 00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:47,875 Everybody seemed to like him. 361 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,458 - Here's a loving father who tended to their every need, 362 00:42:51,542 --> 00:42:53,750 paid for their housing and their clothes 363 00:42:53,833 --> 00:42:55,500 and their food and, you know, 364 00:42:55,583 --> 00:42:57,750 moral support during their lives. 365 00:42:57,833 --> 00:43:00,167 - This whole thing shouldn't happened. 366 00:43:00,208 --> 00:43:02,000 But for Linda and Mary Beth, 367 00:43:02,083 --> 00:43:04,417 he eventually just became too much of a pain for them 368 00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:05,667 and they decided to end his life 369 00:43:05,792 --> 00:43:07,208 and that's a tragedy in itself.
