A Florida man will spend life behind bars after jurors convicted him of killing his wife, their three children and family dog — and then living for weeks with the decomposing remains — due to what prosecutors said were apocalyptic beliefs.
Todt also told detectives the family annihilation was a joint plan between he and his wife, that they needed to die at the same time so as to"pass over to the other side together because the apocalypse was coming,” prosecutor Danielle Pinnell said in her opening statement earlier this week.
“This was a personal catastrophe in everybody’s life and my family, including myself,” Todt told the court. “I maintain my innocence.”
