I was in the courtroom when Kasota testified.
I did not want to miss it.
He was calm, unemotional.
And when I thought about it, this was his wife and her death.
If he's insinuating that someone else did it, you would think.
that he would be more emotional.
I was also surprised when the prosecutor did not go harder on Kasotis in cross-examination because I thought she would.
I think everybody in the courtroom thought she would.
But later, that prosecutor, Lori Baio, told me that she thought he had sunk himself and she thought it was better just to let the jury see that.
Lori Baio, the prosecutor, felt that she needed to answer that for the jury.
But she says that to this day, it's the hardest question to answer.
Her theory is that Kasotis really wanted a family.
We know that Mindy and Kasotis had told Mindy's family and her friends that she was pregnant.
But after her remains were found, the death certificate revealed that she hadn't been and wasn't pregnant within the past year before she was killed.
So did she lie about it?
Did she lie to her husband about it?
The prosecutor thinks that Kasotis might have killed her when he found out that she wasn't pregnant.
and maybe lying about it, Mindy was stabbed in the abdomen.
And that is really why Lori Baio thinks that.
