Five weeks of trial. Less than five hours of deliberation. Guilty on all counts.

Paul Caneiro was convicted Friday of murdering his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their children Jesse and Sophia in their Colts Neck home in November 2018. The jury found him guilty on fifteen charges including four counts of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated arson.

The first thing jurors asked for after beginning deliberations was the surveillance footage of Caneiro's Porsche leaving his house and returning on the morning of the murders. Then they asked for the knife used to stab eight-year-old Sophia at least seventeen times. Hours later, they had their verdict.

The forensic evidence was insurmountable. Both children's DNA on jeans hidden in Caneiro's basement. Ballistics matching the murder weapon to his home. His own cameras showing him shutting off surveillance at 1:27 AM. Recorded audio of Keith demanding to know where the missing money went — the day before he was killed.

The defense blamed a third brother who was never charged. They introduced a two-person conspiracy theory in closing arguments that was never supported by evidence. The jury rejected all of it.

Caneiro faces life without parole at his May 12 sentencing. After seven years, the Caneiro family finally has justice.
