News broke yesterday that former MLB pitcher Danny Serafini is being accused on multiple monstrous crimes and is facing life in prison.

News broke yesterday that Serafini is being accused of causing the death of his father in law as well as attempting to do the same to his mother in law with the help of his mistress.

Details of the apparent tryst were laid bare in court documents as the 51-year-old faces trial for allegedly m*rder*ng his father-in-law, Gary Spohr, and attempting to k**l Spohr’s wife, Wendy Wood, in their Lake Tahoe, California, home, the Daily Mail reported. -Crane

According to reports, the reason Serafini has been accused on this monstrous crime is because he was caught on a surveillance camera sneaking into his in laws home on the same night.

Prosecutors said a hooded Serafini was captured on surveillance video sneaking into his in-laws’ home hours before the attack unfolded. -Crane

Serafini was a pitcher in MLB from 1992 until 2007 but during that span only playing a total of 7 seasons for the Minnesota Twins, Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies.

In 1997 came Serafini’s best season where he finished with a 3.42 ERA and 2-1 record with 46 strikeouts in 26.1 innings pitched for the Minnesota Twins after that he would never have an ERA below 5.00.

The crimes Serafini are accused of date back to 2021 but he is finally facing the charges and will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.
