45. 1:40readmission
46. 1:41to the university of rochester with a
47. 1:44forged
48. 1:45transcript from his previous college

55. 1:59year he took out a loan
56. 2:01for 31 000 to pay his expenses

62. 2:14fall 2004 tuition fees with the loan
63. 2:16money
64. 2:18earlier in the fall he falsely told his
65. 2:20parents that the university of rochester
66. 2:23was covering his tuition because a
67. 2:25professor had misplaced his final exam
68. 2:28from the previous fall semester then one
69. 2:31day
70. 2:32peter confronted his son about his
71. 2:34dishonesty
72. 2:35in an email he wrote did you forge my
73. 2:39signature as a co-signer
74. 2:41what the hell are you doing you should
75. 2:43have called me to discuss
76. 2:44it and i'm going to tell them i'm not to
77. 2:47be on it
78. 2:48as a co-signer the following day peter
79. 2:51was notified
80. 2:52that christopher had also obtained a
81. 2:54line of credit from citibank to finance
82. 2:57the jeep
83. 2:58he bought for himself again using his
84. 3:01father's name
85. 3:03as a co-signatory peter once again wrote
86. 3:06to his son
87. 3:08who had not answered his parents phone
88. 3:10calls in weeks
89. 3:12he wrote i want you to know that if you
90. 3:15abuse my credit again
91. 3:16i will be forced to file forgery
92. 3:18affidavits in order to disclaim
93. 3:20liability
94. 3:22and that applies to the citibank college
95. 3:24loan if you attempt to
96. 3:25reactivate it or use my credit to obtain
97. 3:29any other loan the email concluded
98. 3:33we may be disappointed with you but your
99. 3:35mother and i still love you and care
100. 3:37about your future
101. 3:39but christopher on the other hand was
102. 3:42not happy with his parents
103. 3:45and what happened next will shock you
104. 3:49on november 15 2004 peter didn't show up
105. 3:53to work at the supreme court
106. 3:55in new york like he did every morning
107. 3:58peter worked in supreme court in albany
108. 4:01new york
109. 4:02but on 15 november 2004
110. 4:05he didn't show up to the work like he
111. 4:08did every morning
112. 4:10the court officer that works with peter
113. 4:12at the courthouse
114. 4:13decided that would be a good idea just
115. 4:16to go over to peter's house and check on
116. 4:19him
117. 4:20because peter was very punctual towards
118. 4:23his work
119. 4:24and he never got absent at his work
120. 4:28the court officer michael arrived at
121. 4:30peter's home
122. 4:32the officer knew that something terrible
123. 4:34had happened
124. 4:36but he had yet to know that exactly what
125. 4:40he will be dealing with
126. 4:42once he went inside peter's house he
127. 4:45encountered a bloodbath
128. 4:47he took another step inside and right
129. 4:50there
130. 4:50on the right side he saw 52 year old
131. 4:54peter's
132. 4:55lifeless body michael immediately called
133. 4:58for backup
134. 4:59and paramedics backup officers and
135. 5:03paramedics arrived at the home
136. 5:05and made their way upstairs and into the
137. 5:08master bedroom
138. 5:10and this is where the first responders
139. 5:13encountered
140. 5:14peter's wife john who was clinging
141. 5:18to her life right next to jon
142. 5:21laid a three foot long axe
143. 5:25before jon was rushed to the hospital
144. 5:27investigators
145. 5:28asked if she knew who did this to her
146. 5:31and when police asked
147. 5:32if their son christopher did this she
148. 5:35shook her head
149. 5:36up and down which meant a yes
150. 5:39the albany county medical examiner
151. 5:42performed an autopsy on peter to get a
152. 5:44better idea of
153. 5:46what exactly happened in the house that
154. 5:49fateful morning
155. 5:50[Music]
156. 5:51medical examiner counted 16 wounds
157. 5:54to peter's head with an x
158. 5:58immediately after discovering peter and
159. 6:01john the police began their
160. 6:02investigation to find out who could have
161. 6:05done this
162. 6:06to the couple and the police find out
163. 6:09that peter and jon have two sons
164. 6:11christopher
165. 6:12and jonathan police quickly ruled out
166. 6:15jonathan
167. 6:17as a potential suspect in the case
168. 6:19because he was serving in the military
169. 6:22miles away from his parents home so it
170. 6:25was impossible
171. 6:26that jonathan was involved so once
172. 6:29jonathan was ruled out as a potential
173. 6:32suspect
174. 6:33police quickly shift their attention to
175. 6:36christopher
176. 6:37police were also seeing christopher as
177. 6:40a potential suspect because he had a
178. 6:43history of stealing money from his
179. 6:44parents
180. 6:45and opening up lines of credit without
181. 6:48their knowledge
182. 6:49forging their signatures and much more
183. 6:53police also found out that christopher
184. 6:56had even
185. 6:56faked two burglaries at his parents
186. 6:59house
187. 7:00and sold the stolen items like computers
188. 7:03and laptops
189. 7:04on ebay police decide to question
190. 7:07christopher about his whereabouts
191. 7:10the night of the murder he told police
192. 7:12that he was at school
193. 7:14the entire night but the police got
194. 7:18their hands on surveillance video
195. 7:20that showed christopher leaving school
196. 7:22in his yellow jeep
197. 7:25police examined the route christopher
198. 7:27would have taken from his school
199. 7:29to his parents house the route requires
200. 7:32passing through two tall stations police
201. 7:35contact the toll stations and collect
202. 7:38the tall tickets that were passed out
203. 7:41they sent the tickets off to the crime
204. 7:43lab in hopes that it would reveal
205. 7:46valuable forensic evidence the results
206. 7:49came back
207. 7:50and the crime lab was able to obtain a
208. 7:52full dna profile
209. 7:54of christopher on one of the toll
210. 7:57tickets
211. 7:58proving that he actually crossed the
212. 8:00tall
213. 8:01heading to his parents house that night
214. 8:03police also came to know about
215. 8:06that the poco family had an alarm system
216. 8:09that was disarmed the night of the
217. 8:11attack with the master code
218. 8:14the phone line had also been cut
219. 8:17the only person outside of peter and jon
220. 8:20that would have known the alarm code was
221. 8:23their son
222. 8:24christopher christopher was arrested
223. 8:27for the murder of his father peter an
224. 8:30attempted murder of his mother joan
225. 8:33now moving on to jon as i've already
226. 8:35told you
227. 8:36that she originally pointed out her son
228. 8:38as the attacker
229. 8:40but when she fully recovered from her
230. 8:42injuries she stood behind her son
231. 8:45and she believed that christopher was
232. 8:47hundred percent innocent
233. 8:51but the amount of forensic and
234. 8:53circumstantial evidences
235. 8:55were overwhelming christopher's trial
236. 8:59began
237. 8:59on june 27 2006
238. 9:03and on december 12 2006
239. 9:06judge sentenced christopher to 50 years
240. 9:09to life on each count
241. 9:11totaling a minimum of 50 years in prison
242. 9:17the judge said i fear very much what
243. 9:19happened in the early morning hours of
244. 9:21november 15
245. 9:23is something that could happen again
246. 9:27and one of the most controversial murder
247. 9:29trials in the new york state's history
248. 9:32seemed to have reached its resolution
249. 9:36but due to christopher and his mother's
250. 9:38assertion
251. 9:40of his innocence what has not been fully
252. 9:43resolved is whether a seemingly
253. 9:45upstanding student is guilty of
254. 9:48the unthinkable ending the lives of the
255. 9:51very people who gave him
256. 9:53his own what are your thoughts
