About this listen
In 2004 in Delmar, New York, 21-year-old Christopher Porco, a college student, was accused of viciously attacking his parents with an ax while they slept. His father, Peter Porco, tragically died from his injuries, while his mother, Joan Porco, survived but sustained severe facial injuries. The crime shocked the local community and garnered widespread media attention.
Christopher quickly became a suspect due to his strained relationship with his parents and financial difficulties. In 2006, he was arrested and charged with his father's murder and the attempted murder of his mother.
During the trial, the defense argued Christopher's alibi, claiming he was elsewhere during the attack. However, the prosecution presented a circumstantial case, emphasizing the financial motive and DNA evidence linking Christopher to the crime. After a highly publicized trial, Christopher Porco was found guilty on all charges.
