A Bronx judge yesterday said prosecutors trying to convict an ex-cop of murdering his wife can use texts from beyond the grave as evidence.
Lawyers for Edwin Coello, a former NYPD cop, were trying to keep the jury from seeing messages he and his murdered wife had exchanged days before she disappeared.
The victim, Tina Adovasio, 40, told Coello, 41, that she was divorcing him over his alleged cheating.
“[I] hope you have money saved for your lawyer cause you’ll need it,” she wrote.
“You want to live your life as a single guy then go ahead and take your sh.-t and leave,” Adovasio wrote.
Adovasio’s beaten and strangled body was found March 12, 2011 in a wooded area off the Taconic Parkway in Yorktown Heights,
