Saturday would have been Markoff’s first wedding anniversary, but his nuptials were canceled after his arrest.
Brisman, a 26-year-old masseuse from New York City, was beaten with a gun and shot three times in the Marriott Copley Hotel in Boston in April 2009. Authorities allege Markoff, a former Boston University student, lured her there and botched a robbery to support his gambling habit.
He pleaded not guilty, and also in the armed robbery of a Las Vegas woman at another Boston hotel within four days of Brisman’s death. Rhode Island prosecutors also accused him of attacking a stripper that same week.
