I have zero compassion for this man. He’s a master manipulator. He never thought once about his children. God bless Lex and Betty for raising their grandchildren. It’s so sad Lex is no longer here to witness his execution. He passed away in 2018. RIP to Lex and Farah. Strength and peace to his wife Betty and Farah’s 3 children.
execution tuesday at 6:00 pm it will be live at death penalty action facebook

Daniel Baquer is in jail for raping a 12 year old.
The Cop that's interviewing Fratta knows he lying!😣
No one ever mentions this guy looks like he's been using steroids big time!
they actually mention it in the interview 40:37
He was.
So what? Steroids are not a bad thing.
He was executed yesterday (January 11, 2022). His oldest son (who was only 7-years-old at the time of his mother's murder) attended his father's execution. He didn't apologize, he didn't express any remorse, he didn't even look at his son. He just laid on the stretcher, staring straight up at the ceiling and said nothing.
He's a truly evil man.
His son (and I'm sure his other two children) waited 28 years for their father to take responsibility. He couldn't even give them that before he died. He's a monster.
2023
People with his personality disorder do not feel remorse nor are they able to legitimately find fault within themselves. Dangerous kind of people.
@Blue Neptune I agree. He's even admitted that he wasn't physically attracted to his wife when they were dating. He wanted to marry a tall woman so that their children could be tall, and she was short. He was obsessed with his appearance. Thought he was very "handsome and cute." He was a complete narcissist.
People bring up the fact that he did not acknowledge his son, but maybe they already talked before the execution. He most likely told his son hat he was not going to speak at the execution.
Screwed glued and tattooed..He is an arrogant person.
Looks guilty, acts guilty, probably smelled guilty
100%, doing everything wrong, an innocent person wouldn't need to add all these details, an innocent person would just sit back, listen and be asking wtf happened etc.
Key witness was given a plea deal... Plea deals should never be allowed to a witness who was involved in the crime !
yes Mary Gips....they were going to charge her with accomplice to murder, then she opened her mouth to help the police out.
She deserves a very severe punishment...not so severe as this Fratta fellow, but still a significant sentence.
They basically said to her "we will let you off on a big crime if you help us convict some other people." The guy who drove the getaway car got a death sentence... in my opinion she is almost as culpable as him.
@@anlace3447 What is the plea agreement ? Show me that information.
@@robertwadas OK, i can't link the PDF, so i paste it here.
"Mary Gipp, an accomplice to the murder, was given immunity in exchange for a sworn statement incriminating Fratta and her testimony at his trial"
@@robertwadas Detectives first became aware of a woman named Mary Gipp after they obtained cell phone records from St. Mary’s Church, where Fratta made a handful of calls before and after the murder. One call was made from the church phone to a pager registered to Gipp several minutes before the murder. Based on this fact alone, detectives became convinced that she-or at least the person who had her cell phone-was part of the murder-for-hire scheme.
When detectives questioned Gipp, she admitted to knowing Fratta and Farah from the gym but maintained that “she had no knowledge about [Farah]’s death.” . Detectives thoroughly searched Gipp’s home. They found nothing. Detectives continued to “harass” Gipp and her boyfriend, Joseph Prystash, “c[o]m[ing] out [to her] house for quite some time...night after night after night.” . Almost four months after the murder, Grand Jury...(redacted) That evening, Gipp and her attorney met with a detective and a prosecutor at the DA’s office.. “There was an agreement between the parties that everything she said orally to [them] would not be used against her.”. The next day, Gipp met with detectives to reproduce her statement in writing. Detectives did not allow her to call her attorney and “told [her] that [she] had to sign the statement and initial it all the way down before [she] could leave.” . She did not read the statement before signing. . A detective notarized the document to lock Gipp into the narrative detectives wrote under the penalty of perjury. Statement of Mary Gipp. Grand jury materials and references to their contents are redacted in this Application. Fratta has contemporaneously moved for leave to file these materials and an unredacted application under seal. According to the statement, Fratta hired Prystash-who had previously con- fessed to shooting a man-to find someone else to shoot Farah. Prystash arranged for Gipp’s neighbor, Howard Guidry, to shoot Farah while Prystash drove the getaway car. Id. Prystash was supposed to be compensated with a Jeep, and Guidry would be paid $1,000. After the murder, Prystash supposedly returned to Gipp’s apartment, where she saw him unload two shell casings from a gun and throw them in her kitchen garbage. Gipp claimed she later collected the casings from the garbage and wrote down the identifying information appearing on the gun, including the caliber, make, model, and serial number. Investigators traced the serial number to a gun registered to Fratta. Gipp’s March 4 statement alleges that Gipp kept the shell casings and the note with the gun information in her filing cabinet, though detectives never found these items when they searched her apartment. According to Gipp’s later testimony, she ultimately threw the casings away for fear that police would find them. Prystash. Yet she kept the note in her filing cabinet because “[she] kn[e]w [the police] would need it later.” Gipp gave detectives the note at the meeting discussing her immunity deal. Several statements in Gipp’s March 4 statement are inconsistent with her later testimony. For example, the color of the gun described in Gipp’s statement does not match the color of the gun with the serial number she supposedly wrote down. Additionally, the statement claimed that Prystash told Gipp that “Bob Fratta” gave him the gun. But Gipp also claimed she did not know-and Prystash never told her-Fratta’s last name. At the time Gipp reportedly gave detectives the note with information about the gun, detectives already had it in their possession. The same day Gipp was issued a subpoena to appear before a grand jury and two days before Gipp gave investigators the note-Guidry was arrested with that gun, following an unrelated robbery.
@@anlace3447 You believe she is just as guilty....which means she is a danger to society, should not be on the streets and should be put to death... but, she is fine and no longer a danger, no charges, walk free.... that is not how it is supposed to work...
I've been watching the documentary by Werner Herzog on this case every now and then and found out only a few weeks ago that he has an execution date. He will be executed tomorrow. Eerie to think about. Thank you so much for uploading this interrogation, I will watch it right away.
I’ve been following this story as well. I wish the state of texas would give him life in prison. I’m not really a fan of the death penalty
@@mynameisnotimportant2854 normally I'd completely disagree.... But a former cop justly serving a life sentence makes me smile.... Just a tad. Really too bad she fell in love with some who loved himself even more.
@@mynameisnotimportant2854 I'm against the death penalty aswell. Everyone on death row has commited something heinous and I bet those cells are the most depressing places to be in but then again life in prison without the possibility of parole is the real suffering.
@@philt98569 not eerie to me. U reap what u sow
Interrogation? That was so weak, it was more like an interview. No confrontation, no nothing. Especially in 1994, I figured the detective would have pressed him alot harder. But the outcome was appropriate.
Piece of foulness is finally in Hell
This guy was chill AF. I’ve watched some videos of him after his 2009 re-conviction and he was just like a normal person. You would never have thought he had spent 20 years on Death Row. I’m actually surprised they carried this out.
All the arrogance has come to naught. Today, he will face himself as he leaves the body. Not sad at all.
Be humble. Stop the nasty attitude. He wasn't your concern. His last moments was with GOd and God forgave him. He Still had the Grace of GOD in his Life.
@Martha C: Pay no attention to milk tart, Fratta is a bad man, he will get his karma and he will NOT rest in piece
@@milktart4591 How on earth would you know that? This guy was his own God.
@@elizagrogan9454 forgiveness is unto ALL , even murders. That's why God teach us. Do not judge. As God will judge you , if you don't forgive , God won't forgive you...Even when they crucified Jesus , Jesus said " Father forgive them , they do not know what they doing"
And so many other scriptures... " There is no big sin or small sin , sin is sin " James 2-10
I know no one is sad for him , and he did a horrible thing , but while each of us is still alive , that's grace God is showing us, to repent .
@@milktart4591 the Christians who love the death penalty sure forget about forgiveness soon!!!!
Amazingly Fratta is quite the storyteller.
Had Guidry not been caught with the same gun later following a robbery Fratta would be walking 🚶♀️ free right now as nothing else would have tied him into Farrah’s murder.
Nah, he asked too many people if they knew someone that would kill Farah. And they had connected Mary to the calls. This was back when people didn't realize how they could be traced on cell phones. Which were just new to people. And she cooperated once she got full immunity. Then the men confessed. The gun was the physical evidence which would have been a circumstantial case. But I think he would have been convicted with or without the gun.
What a dope! He vigorously rubs his eyes as soon as the Det. leaves so he can look like he’s been crying!! As a cop he should’ve known there was cameras in that room.
I’m on the fence with the DP but I was glad to hear that his day finally arrived. Maybe now after all these years, Farah’s kids can close this chapter and move on. God bless beautiful Farah🙏
A crooked cop and catholic daycare.... Those poor kids never had a chance!!
What Catholic gif to do with anything ?
I keep wanting to remind him, “YOUR WIFE WAS JUST MURDERED!” 🤷🏼♀️
he was a low life asking about can anyone get rid of my wife,she was a lovely woman and mother xx.he is pony now,loved himself,mirror lover.he loved a mirrow,hes now gone ,,, hope the kids got some good help x.why not get a divorce,
This talk about his son Bradley telling him “I don’t want the bad man to kill him” and “I don’t want you to die” it has to be BS that he’s trying to insert into the police record about some shady guy that his wife is seeing. What a crock.
I've thought it may have happened, I'm thinking Fratta was telling his kids someone was after him etc to prepare an alibi knowing he was going to kill her.
I remember werner herzog covered this case in one of his death row documentaries. Crazy that I'm now seeing the interrogation video of this guy.
That's how I learned about this case. She was a beautiful person and he didn't deserve her. 💔
And the only thing the interviewer talks about is his looks. People are so dumb and superficial.
Today he's Brown Bread ... He hopped on the gurney & said Hi to the big needle 💉💉💉💉
Wow what a waste of time
The way this guy tucks in his shirts is very aggravating .
Lol...listen to the printer in the background
Lol, probably printing off just one page of text, too. "I'll come back by tomorrow and grab that."
Dot Matrix….feeling old now. Lol.
This guy is got old now I wonder if he had a good life hahaha his kids didn't talk to him while hes I prison I don't think he thot he would gain in life but he lost all the way around
Yes, loosing everything and his freedom was karma
he wasn't that old actually, he could have lived for another 25-30 yrs.
Just 33 years old...
37 here i thought...
if all goes well, he has three days to live, lol
but Texas is notorious for staying executions at the last hour, so I'm not holding my breath.
I can't think of any last minute stays. Since the judge is denying his recent appeals it's not looking too good fir Fratta.
He has fired ALL his attorneys. Last year he claimed his attorneys were actively trying to get him executed. On the penpal site wire of hope he posted a crazy pen pal request. Promising to make whoever wrote to him, as long as they had a luscious body and or face, he was going to make them famous and rich by pushing his book. He’s a loon.
Texas has been giving a lot of stays but they still execute the most
It won't be stayed this time.
@@Zachary_Dale This is his last day on earth. It’s so strange. I found out his son Daniel has a charge of sexually assaulting a 13 year old girl. He got shot also. The daughter said she wants to go to see her dad get executed. The kids changed their surnames. I hope Fratta clears his conscience on the gurney, to release his children from the lies he has been telling them for the past twenty years. They need closure and they need truth.
I. Saw his grown children and they all look just like him..didn't favor the mom at all but at least they had the mother's love and her heart and her on the inside..bless them and the loving grandparents that raised and loved them as they did their mom.These cops knew he was evil and guilty!!! He got to live way to long on this earth but at least the family got some closure and justice..how that one son sat and witnessed his father's execution..all in his mom's memory and for her..God bless them!!!
He rubbed his eyes a lot to make them red he should of brought a kleenex with an onion in it smh Good thing he didn't forget his chapstick.
Well that was a waste of an hour.
He's just acting weird and guilty af, he's talking about crap he's not even being asked about it, an innocent person would just sit back and digest the information the detective is telling or asking him, basically because you knew nothing about nothing, he's just behaving all wrong, they likely had his accomplice in custody at this point, it appears the detective seems to know he's involved.
He'd of had a better chance of life if heda stfu! and got an attorney....but NOOOOoooooooo! blab blab blab.....lol
The audio quality 👌
I listened with headphones on.. All you hear is the ac running...lol
Murderer is facing his creator and will be judged. Hope he made peace with God
This man talked himself into DP... just shut ya mouth and lawyer up.
This guy is so callous how he responds that his wife might be a vegetable, WTF is that? The moment it was 100% clear 53:02 yes sir she knew the person that put this together.
Houses cost 90 to 150 thousand?? Thats not a high income neighborhood. Maybe 500k at the low end, if that even.
Do you smell something burning
I been waiting for this...him and Hank Skinner
Dont you think skinner is innocent?
@@gentger1988 a short answer: YEs...but at this point it doesn't matter, he will meet his maker!
@@AVG-ub5sj so you think Skinner is innocent, but are looking forward to his execution...? real bright spark you are...
Hank skinner is dead now.
I can’t wait for Hank to go myself. He is so guilty it makes me sick. There are people that actually think he is innocent , hahaha what a bunch of idiots! Killed that women’s son as well , poor boy didn’t deserve what Hank done to him either did the mother tbh.
Notice how he's rubbing his eyes excessively to look upset. Give me a break. 🤮
Hunched over too cause he knows they are studying his body language
I don't think he should get executed as he did not actually kill her .Life in prison would be more suitable
I agree, but the prosecution used the "law of parties" rule in Texas. I agree. And why did Thomas Whitaker get clemency when he planned a much bigger murder (planned the murder of 3- 2 were killed, and the third one severely injured).
Although what he (almost certainly) planned was disgraceful and deserves a life behind bars, it does not qualify as the "worst of the worst".
Also, as I wrote in another post, he is almost certainly guilty, although I hope he gets a stay- his conviction was obtained via the use of some unconstitutional tactics. Some of his claims of innocence have also not been investigated on purely procedural grounds (regarding hybrid representation). I think his claims are hogwash, yet they still must be investigated.
If somebody is going to suffer the ultimate punishment, they must be convicted without any error.
I don't agree with the law of parties ..j think only the person who did the killing should be executed ..You can't just keep killing people to avenge one death
@@lindymcdonald8945 Fratta paid off two men to help kill his wife. Without his involvement, the murder wouldn't have happened.
Yes I know .But ,I think that executing multiple people to avenge one death is over kill ..
@@lindymcdonald8945 Maybe they shouldn't have had multiple perpetrators for one victim
How is it FULL investigation? It's unfinished. Thanks for the wasted time.
Could he hike his pants up in the front tighter on his growing than he has them now?
Feel for his kids! At least he’s gone for good now!
no flies on him at all...
This happened on my 18th birthday
Really Love the Dead Air
first comment, yey
Connectr
Only one hour in jury to condem this person is not a fair trial!
Lmmfaoooooo
Take a nap princess
They confessed it was him. Robert bought the gun and they had the bill of sale. Which was used to kill Farrah and which Howard then used for a robbery. After murderig Farah. (Dude never watched Godfather 'leave the gun, take the cannolis') Which is how they recovered the gun. Robert asked anyone who walked by him if they knew someone that would kill his wife. You're right they shouldn't have taken an hour. They should have taken 10 minutes to convict him!
Shouldn't have taken but a couple of minutes.
You think maybe him asking dozens of men to murder his wife might have had something to do with that?
@James Mcbeth Yes. They had 7 people come forward to say he had asked them if they knew somebody who would kill her. Its thought he probably asked more.
John Travolta?
