Perhaps the judge was right when she told Robert Camarano that he wouldn't be good at representing himself in court. The heroin-addicted accused murderer who chose his jury on Friday is now claiming that his girlfriend Michele Hyams, found stabbed and strangled in her apartment two years ago, wasn't even murdered.
Despite evidence showing his DNA was on the knife handle and under Hyams' fingernails, Camarano claims it's all just a conspiracy to blame an innocent man. "They don't want you to see the pills that she took that she overdosed on," he told the court, explaining that Hyams was an alcoholic and was having a nervous breakdown at the time. "Now, with Michele gone, I'm the perfect target...It was easy to blame Bobby." But pills and alcohol still don't explain the stab wounds.
Camarano and Hyman rekindled their relationship on Classmates.com, and prosecutors said, "She was convinced he was something he turned out not to be." They're hoping to prove Camarano is guilty of strangling, beating and stabbing Hyman after she confronted him about stealing her jewelry.
