Suspect testifies innocence in Ammon murder trial
Electrician Daniel Pelosi testified he did not kill Theodore Ammon, disputing witnesses who said he admitted the crime. Prosecutors say Pelosi killed Ammon after learning he was having an affair with Ammon's wife Generosa, with whom Pelosi married briefly after the murder. The case ties Pelosi to a multimillion-dollar fortune dispute and a postnuptial arrangement. Meanwhile, hundreds of diamonds seized from disgraced financier Martin Frankel went on sale at Javits Center to aid victims, drawing 300-plus bidders and bringing in nearly $5.87 million on day one of the two-day auction of 822 stones.
