Coppolino's deteriorating finances, Schaub charged, spurred his murderous motive. While the Coppolinos were living in New Jersey, Carmela earned $16,000 a year as a physician in a research laboratory.

Bailey developed testimony that Marge wanted to marry Coppolino after his first wife, Carmela, died in Sarasota last year. But he married a well-to-do divorcee six weeks after Carmela's death. It was only then, Bailey said, that Marge Farber turned on her erstwhile lover.
