Beverly Hills son found guilty of murdering his mother for inheritance

A Beverly Hills widow, Violet Yacobi, was found dead at her home in 2017 after detectives initially suspected a fall or suicide.

Autopsy and expert testimonies sparked competing theories, but the prosecution argued the strangulation was motivated by money, supported by DNA under Violet’s fingernails and Daniel’s behavior and finances.
