Oxygen describes the
show as: .Marjorie Orbin is a
former Vegas showgirl and stripper who killed her husband Jay in
September 2004, then dismembered and dumped his body in the desert
for life insurance and tried to blame the murder on her boyfriend
Larry Weisberg.
On September 22, 2004, Defendant informed police the victim was missing. On October 23, 2004, police found a portion of the victim's torso in a fifty-gallon container on state trust land in north Phoenix. The victim's body was frozen after death and at some point was cut up with a saw. Because no other portion of the victim's body was ever found, police identified the victim through DNA testing. The medical examiner identified the cause of death as "undetermined homicide."
The State charged Defendant with first degree murder, two counts of theft and two counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices. After a seventy-one day jury trial that took place over the course of nearly ten months, a jury found Defendant guilty of first degree premeditated murder, two counts of theft of $100,000 or more and two counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices. The trial court sentenced Defendant to natural life for murder and concurrent, presumptive terms of five years' imprisonment for each remaining count.
