NYC man who dismembered woman watched "Dexter" for tips on covering up crime, federal prosecutors say

A New York man was convicted Monday for killing and dismembering a woman after fraudulently taking out a life insurance policy in her name - then trying to collect the benefits, federal prosecutors said Monday.

Cory Martin watched crime shows including "Dexter" and "The First 48" for tips on how to get away with killing the woman, a sex worker who he managed, a co-conspirator testified during the two-week Brooklyn federal court trial.

Lawyers for Martin didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
