ORLANDO, Fla. — Jurors began deliberating Thursday afternoon in the trial of Anthony Todt, the Connecticut physical therapist accused of killing his wife, children and dog at their Central Florida home.
Before the 12-member jury was released at 12:23 p.m., prosecutors told them Todt wanted “control” over not only the lives of his family but also their deaths.
After killing his wife, three children and dog, Todt used their phones to tell their relatives they were all sick, Assistant State Attorney Danielle Pinnell said. When Todt’s sister asked law enforcement to check on the family, she got a text from Megan Todt’s phone about believing in the apocalypse.
