Jury Hears What Paul Caneiro Texted as His Brother's Body Was Found

He texted the accused killer to tell him his brother’s house was on fire. The response he got at 8:15 p.m. was just three words: "I can't breathe." Yamino Paluchi wasn't just a witness; he was Keith Caneiro's best friend. Their sons were inseparable. Just three days before the murders, Paluchi sat at dinner with Keith and gave him a stark warning: stop supporting your brother Paul. Today, he walked the jury through the real-time text messages he exchanged with the defendant while police were discovering the bodies of the family he loved. The defense argues these messages show a frantic brother desperate to get to the scene, not a calculated killer. They also pressed Paluchi on why he never contacted the third brother, Corey, continuing their strategy of highlighting the family member police never investigated. ⏰ KEY MOMENTS 00:00 - Keith's best friend takes the stand 09:20 - "Stop supporting everybody else" 17:40 - The text messages begin 27:00 - Paul texts "I can't breathe" 34:00 - Defense argues texts show concern 40:50 - The third brother nobody knew 1:12:40 - "Money was taken... by Paul" 📖 JUSTICE BREAKDOWN: Coming soon CASE BACKGROUND REPORT: https://www.justiceisaprocess.com/can... 🎥 HOW JUSTICE IS A PROCESS COVERS TRIALS We present uninterrupted courtroom footage with public discussion in our live chat.

This is where you watch the Justice Process unfold. Because Justice Is A Process and Works Better When We Watch. 📖 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. 📂 PLAYLISTS & RESOURCES 🌐 Website: https://www.justiceisaprocess.com ► Live Broadcasts:    • LIVE BROADCAST: NJ v. Paul Caneiro   ► No Breaks Edition:    • Playlist   ► Trial Podcast:    • TRIAL PODCAST: NJ v. Paul Caneiro   ► Key Moments:    • KEY MOMENTS AND TESTIMONY: NJ v. PAUL CANEIRO   ► Subscribe:    / @justiceisaprocess   ⚖️ ABOUT JUSTICE IS A PROCESS This channel continues the work of Steven M.
