| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:06.1 | Hey there, folks. It is Tuesday, May 19th. And just a short time ago, somebody called him Satan in court. |
| 0:14.1 | And just a short time after that, the judge gave him four life sentences without the possibility of parole. |
| 0:20.3 | And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy |
| 0:22.4 | and T.J. This was a case we followed closely. This was a horrific case of a man who essentially |
| 0:28.1 | slaughtered his brother, his brother's wife, and his brother's two kids, his own niece and nephew, |
| 0:35.8 | who were 11 and 8 years old. Robs, there wasn't supposed to be sentencing for Paul Canero that was supposed to be a lot of mystery. |

| 1:28.8 | But they had powerful words about Paul Canero. |
| 1:34.8 | And I also appreciated how much of what they said about the people who we lost. |
| 1:40.5 | Not just the lives that were taken out, but the possibility, the future lives that |
| 1:45.3 | were taken away, all of the possibilities that those young kids had ahead of them. All of that |
| 1:52.7 | was taken away. It was hard to keep a dry eye listening to their statements. It was very hard |
| 1:58.4 | to hear a lot of what the judge actually said before the sentencing, |
| 2:02.3 | we will explain. But just the reminder here, Paul Canero, and this crime was seven plus years ago. |
