ELIZABETHTOWN, NY – Luciano Frattolin may take the stand in his own defense Monday — an explosive potential turn in his slay trial as he faces a mountain of evidence that he murdered his 9-year-old daughter. The Canadian coffee entrepreneur, 45, maintained his innocence during a brief exchange with Judge Tatiana Coffinger in Essex County Court on Friday, while indicating he wanted to take the weekend to decide whether to testify in what would be a desperate — and legally daring — attempt to somehow counteract three weeks of testimony showing he killed daughter Melina and dumped her body upstate. 3 Luciano Frattolin, 45, is charged with murdering his 9-year-old daughter Melina in the Adirondacks last summer.
