Pre-trial hearings started this morning in Westchester County Court for Robert Sepe,who is accused of fatally beating his fiancee, Janette Carlucci, with a baseball bat in his Cortlandt home last year. He is charged with second-degree murder, a felony punishable by 25 years to life in prison.
Sepe, who owns a health supplement business, had tried jumping off of a bridge in Binghamton after Carlucci’s death, but state troopers pulled the 53-year-old from the ledge.
Sepe told the troopers that he had been suffering from panic attacks, depression and insomnia in recent months, and that he was taking two psychotropic medications, Elavil and Zoloft, along with medicine to control high blood pressure. We’ll see if the defense plans to use any of this.
Defense lawyer Bruce Bendish is representing Sepe. Assistant District Attorney Tim Ward is prosecuting the case. Westchester Judge Barbara Zambelli is presiding.

I hope he gets the maximum penalty for his crime. The brutality demonstrated by Mr. Sepe defies my imagination. It is Mother’s Day and Candace Carlucci must endure a second year without her mom.
