Summary

The trial of 59-year-old Paul Caneiro finally began this morning, seven years after police say he murdered his brother Keith, his sister-in-law, his 11-year-old nephew and 8-year-old niece and then set fire to their home and eventually his own to cover up the crimes. Opening statements laid out both cases, the prosecution detailing the brutality of Caneiro’s alleged crimes while the defense already let jurors know they are offering a different suspect in these heinous murders, Paul and Keith’s other brother, Corey.
