In the trial of Ferdinand “Freddy” Augello, former associates provided testimony detailing a narrative of greed, fear, and prescription drug trafficking that culminated in the murder of April Kauffman.​

Key Testimonies:

• Beverly Augello (Freddy’s Former Wife): She pleaded guilty to third-degree racketeering and a separate drug charge. While she maintains her innocence regarding the murder, her testimony implicated Freddy in orchestrating the killing. ​
  
• John Mulholland (Driver of the Shooter): Mulholland testified that he drove the shooter to the Kauffmans’ residence and waited nearby. He recounted hearing that April screamed before the shooter fired two shots, resulting in her death. Mulholland was not charged in the murder but faced sentencing under a third-degree charge. ​
