OSSINING Westchester resident Carmela Magnetti is charged with criminal
facilitation, hindering prosecution and evidence tampering in
Patricia Mery's killing. The 59-year-old teacher's body was found
on Mother's Day in 2006, three days after she was killed in a
custody dispute over her granddaughter.
Prosecutors say Magnetti drove her to Mery's house in Ossining
the day she was killed, picked Trovato up later and gave her a fake
alibi. She could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
Defense attorney Ted Brundage says there was no proof that his
client knew Mery would be murdered when she drove Trovato to her
mother's house.
