How are you?
You're listening in to Dateline's morning meeting in 30 Rockefeller Center. What was the motive if he was already the ex? Great question. Our editorial team is catching up on breaking crime news around the country.
Welcome to Dateline True Crime Weekly. I'm Andrea Canning. It's December 5th, and here's what's on our docket. Six years after a man was accused of murdering his brother's entire family at their New Jersey mansion, a judge hears arguments about whether cutting-edge DNA analysis can be used against him at trial.
In Dateline Roundup, we'll fill you in on an unexpected twist in the case of a dentist accused of poisoning his wife. And the Florida woman convicted of murder by suitcase takes the stand at her sentencing.
Plus, she was one of the most famous defendants in the world, an American student abroad charged with a horrifying crime. Fifteen years ago this week, Amanda Knox was convicted of murdering her roommate, Meredith Kircher. Dennis Murphy reflects on his time in Italy covering this sensational case.
But first, we're heading out to San Francisco for the final days of the trial that's become the talk of the city and beyond. In April of 2023, a 911 dispatcher took a call at 2.30 in the morning.
Another tech entrepreneur, a man named Nima Momeni, was arrested and charged with killing Bob. And his trial, which we've been covering, began this October. On Monday, the prosecution played Bob's 911 call to open their closing arguments. There aren't any cameras in the courtroom, but Dateline producer Brittany Tom has been reporting on the trial for the past couple of months.
And she joins us now to let us know how both sides left things with the jury. Brittany, thanks for coming back on the podcast. Thanks, Andrea. The prosecutor beginning his closing arguments with that 911 call is, you know, pretty intense, Brittany.
Let's remind listeners briefly, what is the prosecution's theory of the case as they presented it in court?
A major point of disagreement between the two sides is who brought the knife. The prosecution is saying Nima had it, and they seem to be saying that just taking the knife from his sister's apartment indicates that he had intent.
Nima's lawyer addressed the knife in his closings as well. How did he counter the prosecution's story that it was in Nima's possession?
So what did the defense say about how the knife got to the crime scene then?
Oh, interesting. Okay. This jury has a lot of evidence to go through, and the judge has given them some pretty clear instructions on the charges.
I guess it's anyone's guess how long it'll take to reach a verdict.
Next up, when a wealthy businessman and his family were brutally murdered at their home six years ago, questions swirled about a possible hit for hire until police arrested the man's brother. We've got the latest from the courtroom.
For our next story, we're heading to a New Jersey courtroom where a judge is weighing whether a prosecutor can use cutting-edge science in a disturbing quadruple murder case. In November 2018, just a few days before Thanksgiving, two fires broke out at the homes of two brothers, Paul and Keith Canaro. Paul and his family got out alive, but his brother Keith was not so lucky.
When first responders got to his house, they discovered that Keith had died, but not in the fire. He'd been shot repeatedly. His wife and two children were also dead.
Tonight, an outpouring of grief for a family police say was targeted and murdered in their own home.
But by whom? A week later, investigators came up with a stunning theory. Paul Canero had killed his brother and his family and then set fire not only to his brother's house, but to his own to cover up the crime. He was charged with their murders and two counts of arson.
Producer Brenda Breslauer, who has been covering the case for Dateline, is here to tell us what prosecutors believe is Paul's motive and why science is now taking center stage in the courtroom. Hey, Brenda. Hi, Andrea. So, first of all, very interesting that this involves two brothers. What do we know about them, the Caneros, and their relationship?
