US murder trial with key Fitbit evidence heads to closing arguments


Prosecutors and investigators have poked holes in Dabate’s story, providing forensic evidence that doesn’t match his timeline. Connie’s Fitbit device showed her moving around after the time her husband said she was killed. Cellphone data shows that he did not leave the house that day like he said he did, except to bring their children to the bus stop at the end of their long driveway. — Wood photo created by Racool_studio - www.freepik.com

CONNECTICUT: At the time of his wife’s slaying, Richard Dabate was allegedly “a ticking time bomb” who was in love with two women and running out of time, state prosecutors said in the final days of the trial for the so-called “Fitbit murder”.

Dabate, who is charged with murder in his wife’s death, staging a crime scene and lying to police more than six years ago, took the stand last week and stuck fervently to his story that a masked, camouflage-wearing intruder with a Vin Diesel-like voice broke into his house and killed his wife, Connie Dabate.
