Prosecutors say Paul also set their home on fire and then his own while his wife and children were inside in an attempt to cover his tracks.
He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
The prosecution has painted a portrait of a man driven to kill by greed and desperation whose lavish lifestyle was spiraling out of control.
The star witness?
Keith Canero himself.
Just hours before his death, Keith's voice was captured on home security video.
You can hear him confronting Paul over money he suspected he stole from him.
That is Keith demanding the login information for his family's trust and an explanation for where the money went.
Instead of giving it to him, prosecutors say Paul killed Keith and his family.
Paul's defense team says the alleged motive is absurd, that the money in dispute was small change for the brothers, and that prosecutors have the wrong man behind bars.
Here to bring us the latest from inside the courtroom is NJ.com reporter Kevin Shea.
Kevin, thank you for joining us.
Thanks for having me.
So, Kevin, this is one of the biggest cases in New Jersey in recent years.
What has it been like in that courtroom?
The courtroom has been a mix of very steady, almost standard kind of testimonies.
There have also been several moments of high drama and heartbreak, 911 calls, body cams, some very dramatic footage and audio in the courtroom.
Okay, so we talked about opening statements on the show last week.
Can you remind our listeners how the prosecution and defense set the stage for jurors in this quite complicated case?
Sure.
