Yolanda Marodi Pleads Guilty to Wife's Murder | Toronto News

Yolanda Marodi has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of her wife, Rebecca Marodi, a fire captain, at their California home in February 2025. Facing up to life in prison, Yolanda accepted a plea deal that downgraded the charge — influenced by the victim’s family seeking closure. This marks her second deadly domestic incident: she was convicted of manslaughter in 2004 for killing her then-husband and served time until 2013. After fleeing to Mexico following the murder, she was captured 33 days later. Texts sent after the attack revealed a violent struggle and her admission to causing harm. Sentencing is scheduled for September 2nd. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
