AI Summary
Main Idea: Paul Caneiro is set to go on trial in New Jersey over the 2018 killings of four relatives and the burning of two homes after his brother uncovered alleged financial fraud.
Key Points:
- Prosecutors say Paul Caneiro killed his brother Keith Caneiro, Keith’s wife Jennifer, and two children, then set fires at both homes to make it look like the whole family was under attack.
- The case has been delayed for more than seven years and is now entering jury selection in Monmouth County.
- Authorities say money was the likely motive, tied to business disputes, alleged theft from the family companies, and conflict over trust and salary payments.
- A major evidence fight centered on home security system data, and the state’s highest court later allowed that evidence to be used at trial.
