The television producer withdrew the accusation regarding access to her emails and the court will only pass sentence on the first of the crimes: Dobrowolski faces a sentence of 13 years in prison. The accused, who only accepted questions from her lawyer, gave a completely opposite explanation to that maintained by the prosecution and the private prosecution about what happened on the night of June 22, 2020: “In the afternoon we had a strong argument but then we calmed down and talked about giving each other another chance. We had dinner with the children and decided to go to sleep.” Angela and Mainat agree that before going to bed, She gave him two injections (testosterone and a vitamin complex), as almost dailyFrom here, the accounts differ. Mainat stated that she woke him up at around 2 in the morning to receive two more injections: growth hormone, which he was not taking at the time, and a slimming product, which Angela was taking. She let him do it so as not to argue again.
The accused has admitted that she consumed drugs that night and the constant coming and going around the house recorded by the security cameras was due to the desperate search for traces of drugs that could be in the “secret hiding places” that he had in the property. The nature and reason for the second round of injections that Mainat described were not clear, although he later explained that the slimming drug Saxenda was new to him. When she finally went to bed she found that her husband was snoring abnormally and was very pale. «After a moment of shock, I jumped out of bed, went to the office and grabbed a packet of glucose. I was very scared, I was high and I was trying to do my best.: get him up, check his airways, give him glucose and call 911. I did everything to save his life.” Angela maintains that the glucose administered prevented a fatal outcome that could have occurred due to the irresponsible use of anti-aging drugs. The accusations are that she knowingly injected him with insulin to cause his death.

Things began to go wrong two years later. Angela was admitted to a clinic for cocaine use in 2018. Her character began to be more tempestuous and the arguments of any marriage took on the dimensions of a pitched battle.
