New Jersey's Chief Medical Examiner Takes the Stand in Paul Caneiro Trial

Описание: Five gunshot wounds. Seventeen groups of stab wounds. New Jersey's Acting Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Alex Zhang, took the stand and walked the jury through what he found when he examined Keith Caneiro and his 8-year-old daughter Sophia.

Keith sustained five gunshot wounds, four to the head and face. Dr. Zhang concluded one shot was fired at contact range while Keith was already on the ground. Sophia's injuries spanned nearly her entire body, and the doctor identified multiple defensive wounds consistent with her trying to protect herself. Her carbon monoxide levels told the rest of the story.

Paul Caneiro is charged with four counts of first-degree murder. He has maintained his innocence for more than seven years. The defense has not yet cross-examined this witness.

📖 CASE BACKGROUND

November 20, 2018: Firefighters found Keith Caneiro, 50, shot five times on his front lawn. Inside the burning mansion: his wife Jennifer, 45, and children Jesse and Sophia, all stabbed. The children died from smoke inhalation.

Hours earlier, a fire broke out at Paul's home eleven miles away. Prosecutors call it a "ruse" to divert suspicion. The motive: Keith had discovered Paul stealing from their businesses and family trusts, and sent an email cutting off Paul's $225,000 salary the night before.

Paul Caneiro, 59, has been jailed without bail for over seven years. If convicted, he dies in prison.

⚖️ ABOUT JUSTICE IS A PROCESS

This channel continues the work of Steven M. Askin, a criminal defense attorney disbarred in 1998 for refusing to violate attorney-client privilege, then criminally convicted in 2010 for teaching people their constitutional rights from a coffee shop. He passed away in February 2024, but not before he and I started this channel together.

I am Steven M. Askin II. I am not an attorney. I am a watchdog. I cover trials to educate the public about due process, presumption of innocence, and constitutional protections.
