Trial of man accused of killing his nine-year-old daughter to wrap up its second week
Jurors heard notes that prosecutors say show a custody motive and animus toward Melina Frattolin’s mother, while forensic testimony linked blood to the girl’s jacket.
- The murder trial of Luciano Frattolin continued Tuesday in Essex County Court, where jurors reviewed handwritten notes found in his vehicle regarding his daughter Melina Frattolin and a custody dispute.
- Following a contentious custody battle with mother Kali Galanis, prosecutors allege Frattolin targeted Melina, citing notes where he expressed a desire to see Galanis imprisoned to gain full custody.
- Building manager Caroline Masse testified she found a note in Frattolin's apartment referencing a plan to "get paid by IVY, buy 911 and take Melina to Maine," alongside duct tape evidence.
- Forensic experts testified Tuesday that traces of blood were found on the jacket Melina wore when her body was recovered from a shallow Ticonderoga pond last year, linking dry cleaning bags to the scene.
- Frattolin, who has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse, faces final witness testimonies this week as the trial nears conclusion in Elizabethtown, New York.
