This is your father you're talking about. You think he would...
Frata's children have spent their lives struggling with the knowledge that their father killed their mother.
For Bradley, Frata's eldest child, the hardest part is reconciling the happy times he remembers before the murder with learning about the crime his father is accused of.
If the first trial didn't convince him, the second one might, because the state would have to prove its case against his father all over again.
Mike Charlton, Frata's original attorney, thought it was long overdue after all the mistakes he saw in Frata's first trial.
The problems began with those confessions that Frata's alleged co-conspirators, Joe Priestash and Howard Guidry, withdrew before Frata's first trial. Both men refused to testify in that trial, but the prosecution still managed to get their statements before the first jury by calling a police officer to testify about them.
Did you know that they were calling the police officer to testify about these confessions? No.
The Constitution says that defendants have the right to cross-examine people who accuse them of crimes. But since neither Guidry nor Price-Dash took the stand, there was no way to cross-examine them. That was just fundamentally wrong.
I think so, yes. Intentionally? Yes. Did you go over the line? No. I mean, you are a type A prosecutor. You'll have to admit it. I mean, is it not possible that you would have gone however slightly over the line?
But in federal court, Frotta won a new trial. Those confessions from Guidry and Price-Dash, the ones they said were coerced, were thrown out. And Mary Gipps' crucial testimony linking Frotta to the plot was ruled hearsay and also tossed out. Did you agree with any of the federal court decisions? No. Not one bit of it?
For Frotta's new trial, two new prosecutors, Denise Bradley and Mia Magnus, will try to make the case against Frotta almost 15 years after the crime and without a lot of the key evidence.
Farrah and Bob Frata's daughter, Amber, hasn't seen her father since she was four and he went to death row. She hasn't wanted to until now, when he could be set free.
To see him, she has to go to the jail.
Where he's awaiting his new trial.
It didn't go well.
Amber didn't ask him if he killed her mother. She always believed he did, but she was hoping he'd show a little remorse.
Do you really mean that? You really wanna be there and see him die?
Prosecutors Mia Magnus.
And Denise Bradley.
Are going to have to muster every bit of evidence they can. He's got the motive. If they're going to make Frada finally pay for murdering his wife. And so what are your two or three strongest pieces of evidence that you can present?
