pretty good trial overview here:
Savopoulos family killings: Daron Wint on trial
Wint openings continued. Prosecution: torture & killings took place in Savopoulos’ absent daughters adjoining bedrooms. Evidence on skin shows they we bound by tape, zip ties, forced to make calls. Computer holding interior surveillance destroyed. Phone lines cut. 2/5
Graphic. Prosecution opening: In bedroom - 2 bloody baseball bats, blood soaked comforter, rugs, splatter. Room smelled of gasoline. Gas on Savvas’ pants. Samurai sword found in nearby bathroom. Stab broke Veras neck. Savvas was stabbed in back thru his neck. 3/5
Defense: DNA found on hair in bloody bedding (one of 5 DNA profiles matching Wint in prosecutions case) would be identical to brother Steffon’s. After killings, Wint searched for “10 hideout cities for fugitives.” Darrell gave Wint victims’ 2 iPhones & controlled the ransom $ 5/5
Day 2: Piecing together a digital timeline
The U.S. Secret Service analyzed digital evidence taken from computers belonging to both Savvas and Amy Savopoulos. The computers gave analysts access to the couple's iCloud accounts, which were linked to their iPhones. The digital evidence trail begins to provide a bit of a timeline of events on the day three members of the Savopoulos family and their housekeeper were taken hostage and later killed -- but there are still many gaps.
Some of the messages are eerie reminders that May 13, 2015 started out as just another day for the family. One of the Savopoulos' teen daughters -- away at a boarding school in New Jersey -- messaged early that morning telling her parents about her prom plans.
The remaining messages all came much later in the day -- after the family was taken hostage, according to prosecutors.
A message sent late that night -- after 11 p.m. -- contains a reference to the family's home security system. "Savvas -- I believe your cameras record on motion," the message said. It's not clear who the message came from.
A message the next morning from Amy Savopoulos to the family's other housekeeper, Nelly Gutierrez reads: "I am making sure you do not come today."
The next afternoon, there are messages from neighbors: "your house is on fire! Not a joke" was sent to at 1:33 p.m. on May 14. By that point, prosecutors said all four victims had been killed, doused in gasoline and set afire.
A message sent at 1:41 p.m. to Amy Savopoulos' phone reads: "Amy your house is on fire - called fire dept and Savvas please tell me you're OK."
