When the Demand for Hate Crimes Outweighs the Supply…
Police Officer DiBartolo, the 18-year veteran Spokane County Sheriff’s Deputy, faked a robbery, shot his wife, and then himself with her gun. At trial he claimed that two black men had mugged him and his wife and shot his wife in the head and then himself in his abdomen. He was convicted in 1997 of killing his wife and sentenced to 26 years in prison.
