| NOT A MURDERER? |
Prosecutor's claimed Melinda Brady helped to plot the robbery, get rid of stolen drugs, dismantle and bury the murder weapon and concoct an alibi for the Father's Day massacre.
But while the 29-year-old admitted to planning the heist, but claims she had no clue that it involved killing, meaning that prosecutors were only able to charge her with first-degree robbery, instead of murder - much to the frustration of the victim's families.
Rene Mejia whose 17-year-old daughter, Jennifer, was gunned down in the horrendous heist - scoffed at the prosecutions decision not to charge Brady.
He told the NY Daily News: "They are both guilty. I trust in God's law. She drove him there. Maybe if she didn't drive him there, he would not had done what he did.
"Even if she didn't know he was going to do what he did, she covered up his crime afterwards. She should have turned him in. She didn't."
Prosecutor Thomas Spota shared their frustration, but told the court: "We cannot legally prove she knew her husband was armed with a deadly weapon. The law is simply such that we cannot charge her with murder."
Brady, who faces 25-years if convicted blamed her husband when she was led from police headquarters to a nearby precinct holding cell following her arrest last month.
She said: "He was doing it because he lost his job and I was sick. He did it. He did all of this."
She had previously posted messages on a website discussing her struggles with painkillers.
Laffer, 33, faces first-degree murder charges for allegedly executing store workers Raymond Ferguson, 45, and Jennifer Mejia, 17, and customers Bryon Sheffield, 71, and Jamie Taccetta, 33.
