A man is on trial for allegedly murdering his wife and kids, and killing the family dog. Anthony Todt, 44, stands trial in Osceola County, Florida. Opening statements are scheduled to begin Monday, April 11, at 9 am ET.
Todt, a physical therapist who worked in Connecticut and lived in the Sunshine State, allegedly killed wife Megan Todt, 42, as well as their three children Alec Todt, 13, Tyler Todt, 11, and Zoe Todt, 4. He even slew the family dog Breezy.
Federal authorities had been seeking him at the time, saying he charged Medicaid for unworked hours. Naturally, a fraud case pales in comparison to the grisly state prosecution for four counts of first-degree murder, and one count of cruelty to animals. With that in mind, federal prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss without prejudice because they did not want to stand in the way of Florida officials. They can refile later.
The family also faced eviction from their home in a case filed Dec. 22, 2019, just weeks before deputies found defendant Todt at the residence with the bodies.

Investigators say Anthony Todt confessed to the killings in interviews shortly after his arrest. Though a judge suppressed an early portion of that because a detective failed to give a proper Miranda warning, the admission of guilt is ultimately making it to trial because Todt allegedly kept on talking to authorities, repeating the confession in a follow-up interview.
Associate Medical Examiner Jennifer Nara found the deaths to be homicide, though she could not determine “the exact mechanism of death,” and had to rely on the alleged confession and other circumstances in her decision.
Defendant Todt walked back that confession. He blamed his wife for the killings in a letter to his father, according to the document obtained by The Orlando Sentinel from the prosecutor’s office.

Trying to blame his wife was disgraceful
It seems that all of the family annihilators who survive try that. Chris Watts did the same thing. It's disgusting. And the murderer's family almost always continues to believe that the dead spouse was to blame, regardless of the evidence disproving it.
What a coward, indeed.
I just noticed that he is not wearing a wedding ring. Figures!
Like Chris watts they r cowards
I love how he shakes his head when they ask each juror for their verdicts it's just now sinking in the rest of his miserable life will be spent in a cell wasting away until he finally dies cold and alone HA HA HA HA YOU COWARD
Did this dude actually think his testimony was gonna sway the jury? Complete and utter narcissist
His testimony only hurt him but I'm sure being the narcissist he is that he probably thinks he did great on the stand.
@@tootsd He also has a severe case of small man issues
Lol! What a goof!
Same thing I was thinking!!! He’s crazy!! 🤪
Lawyers discourage this for a reason , but if he's a true narcissist which he is, he would think his testimony would sway the jury. Then he's shocked at the sentence. He's lucky that he didn't get the death penalty ,which we still have in Florida.
I truly think he BELIEVED he was going to get away with it. After seeing him on the stand... it was beyond clear (even though I already knew it) that this narcissistic p.o.s. was truly one of the most vile family annialators ever.
Reminds me of Jody Arias.
He is the definition of “ZERO self awareness”.
He sure did think he was going to get away with it…. He is mentally unstable this is what you call crazy!
@@susanscardina3602 ….. he worse than her
Lawyers tell their to lie under oath and make up stories..Poor kids and mum
Stop shaking your head man. Won’t change your guilt.
Wasn’t that SO irritating???
He can't take it when bad things happen to him. Him him him
I think it's involuntary. His brain can't process what's going on and absorb it so it processes a denial of what the eyes and ears data it receives.
LMAO!
I agree, like seriously? YOU did this! What are you shaking your head for 🤦🏻♀️
the most obviously guilty guy in the history of murder trials
well… what about OJ? or casey anthony??
@@boosqueezy2418 They didn’t confess.
@@boosqueezy2418 OJ GUILTY ? FROM BEFORE TIME BEGAN
Except Darrell Brooks
Joel Guy Jr has everyone beat. You can't top killing your parents and leaving all of the evidence, including a notebook of your plan that you titled "the Book of Premeditation" at the scene
Next level idiocy fr
He's shaking his head in shock....unf'n believeable
Not shock, he’s a narcissist and thinks he’s got the control.
If he keeps shaking his head hard enough he may break his neck, then his mission will be complete
he probably thought he'd walk out free w a big hug n bouquet of flowers from that jury 🤣🤮 little narcissist weasel
What a loser. Hope he has been enjoying the prison life.
I love the judge termed it "murdering the family dog." Animals deserve way more respect in general.
Couldn't agree more
they need respect but im not going to be one of these modern dog loving idiots and value a dog as the same as my wife and children
I loved this, too!
Definitely
@Paladin I think 'idiots' might be a bit harsh! 😆
We 💟 our animals. 🤷🏻♀️
But seriously, I get it. There is a 'threshold' and thin line between incredibly nurturing/loving and psychopathic.
Altho, I'm not going to lie; I own dog strollers.
👆🏻 In my defense, we hike a lot and are very active, and my dogs are Chiweenies (4" legs 😊) so they need a little Xtra.
✌🏻God Bless
Wow this was a fast trial. I didn’t have a chance to start watching and it’s already over. Guess when you’re guilty AF it doesn’t take long.
It was! Only like 3 days. Did you see the jury was deadlocked at first? Crazy!
R U saying Fk is guilty?
@@uscgirl6033 no! I missed The whole thing! Glad to see a conviction though. From the little I read made me nauseous. He’s disgusting.
You also can tell if the state or the defendant has a weak case either one will push for continuances. The only difference in unjust charges is there’s little to know cost for the state, while the defendant loses a lot financially
Omg 🤣💯
YES! I am so glad that poor little Breezy actually got a little justice, too, and wasn't ignored in the verdicts.
Me too! Animals deserve justice just as much as humans do.
Yessss!!!!
Yes! I was so glad that poor innocent animal got justice today too! And I love that the judge called it a murder too.
Yes!!!
me too!!! really glad the state law and jury recognized her too.
Well Mr Toad just keeps shaking his head nonstop. True delusion. The way he mouthed off like a tough guy to the prosecutor was unreal. Trying to blame his wife for everything disgusting! 🤮 RIP Megan, her babies and their dog 🙏
Mean person gets his comeuppins
Hey, leave the toads out of it. "Todt" means death in German. It suits.
What a coward, he murders his innocent family then refuses to take responsibility and takes this to trial hoping to get off. I hope you have an extremely difficult than normal time in prison!
Agreed. As IF experts and the law wouldn’t understand that “family annihilators” don’t often kill the family dog too ! Or that the gifts his wife bought and wrapped for the kids wouldn’t be seen as the evidence they were !
yea, just reading how he killed his own kids....i mean wife, kids and the dog....sick af mofo.
Oh… he will.
Look at him sitting there constantly shaking his head. It’s so maddening! What a dirt bag 😖
Lets hope so, he is pure evil!!
Wait, he’s surprised at the verdicts. Boy, he really is delusional.
😂🤣
Thank you Judge & Jury .The verdict made me smile big 👏🏻👏🏻 ...Some Justice done! RIP Megan, Alec , Tyler , Zoe & Breezy
I am so glad the verdict was unanimous!! What a creep, and I am thrilled he will be locked up!! He acted so pompous and arrogant during the trial!! His wife and children look so sweet and innocent!! It is awful that he murdered the dog too!!
Breezy was part of the family, he truly believed he could sway the jury with his lies pos it's a shame the death penalty wasn't available just the thought of sitting on death row would have sent him crazy.
Piece of freaking crap. The dog and family. May he rot in prison.
I hope he gets it big time in jail so happy 😀
Todd shaking his head No from the reading to the end nonstop shows just how self absorbed he is.
For real!
Seriously! So deluded he doesn’t realise how horrible he is of a person and how nasty and arrogant he came across on the stand. Disgusting pos, it one thing to not take responsibility but it’s another to go and blame your dead wife for murdering your children.
But I found it satisfying, like it was sinking in that he’s the only one that believes his 💩
i noticed that too!
Did he seriously think he wasn’t going to be convicted? I thought he wanted to die? What a liar
His lawyers can’t stand him! He’s an embarrassment to the judicial system!
His lawyers don't even console him. They know he did it
Yeah. The woman just focuses on her laptop and when Todt was speaking directly to the judge, the other lawyer keeps trying to convince him to sit down and shut up.
If his family was his "world", he would have run to the nearest house to seek help
Exactly 💯
@@JulieannesAussiesandFLWildlife
Exactly. LOL
@@JulieannesAussiesandFLWildlife Some cases are not so straightforward, such as Michael Barisone. In a case like this all the defence could really do was make sure due process was followed. Defence lawyers get a lot of stick on here and I've certainly criticised them but defending someone who is so obviously guilty of such a heinous crime must be difficult.
@@geoffpoole483 I would not take it in good faith. I don't need to take the money from someone obviously guilty.
Only those with doubt. My dad kept saying I would make a great lawyer....no....I have too much conscience to do it. I would not even be a jury member.
I can't understand for the life of me why the defendant (Todt) was shaking his head as the verdict was being read. Take your punishment just like you, sir, took the life of your family and 🐕 YOU are GUILTY as charged. Be Gone!
Sitting there shaking his head. Really?! This guy makes me sick.
He’s despicable! 😠
He’s a phony drama queen!
I’ve never disliked a defendant more than him. He thinks he’s so great and is clueless that everyone is cringing at how pathetic he is.
"Sitting there shaking his head". I know right? He is like a bobble doll on a car dashboard on a bumpy road!
Dude shook his head for like 7 minutes
Continuously shaking his head in disbelief is infuriating to me! 😠
Showed more grief being found guilty than he ever did about the loss of his wife, kids& dog being murdered. I hope his new friends in prison are as evil to him as he was to the ones he killed.
Did he really expect to be found not guilty after confessing to the crime?
Yep, just like the other cheating family killer Kris Watts.
He expects to be entitled to kill and not have to take responsibility
Did he try to insinuate his wife did it?
More than once at that!! The confessing I mean.
@@gabrielamartiniuc6322 exactly
Little known loophole: if you wiggle your head like that when they read the verdict, you go free.
Why is he doing that ?
Hahaha!
@@thebigw497 I think it's because he's such a narcissist and sociopath that he actually thinks he should just get away with murdering his wife, children and pet. He thinks he's so very special and smart, remember his testimony?! 😄🤮
@@thebigw497 he's actually in disbelief lol
The fact he kept that up for a couple minutes straight is so funny
The aunt of Meghan said some nice words at the end.. R.I.P Meghan, Alec, Tyler, Zoe and Breezy 🙏🏼
Justice served
His last name - Todt - in German literally means “dead”. How apropos.
Wicked!
Whoa 😳
No TOT in German means dead
Literally
Stranger than fiction
Once again, the Jury got it right! Two trials in the same day with correct verdicts.
There was absolutely no doubt in this case based on all the evidence presented that this Defendent is GUILTY on all Counts.
Justice has been served.
God Bless the Jury for their service,
and may this family Rest In Peace.
Amen to that 👍
What was the other trial?
@@ImSoReadyToRetire Michael barisone trial he was found not guilty on all counts

Horrible monster, murdering your entire family for what? Evil lurks in all corners of his mind.
My deepest condolences to the deceased family and friends. 🙏♥️
Love the way his head bobbed no no No for minutes. Yes yes yes sir- guilty onall 4 counts you monster!
Guilty on 5 counts. 👍
Yea, he's a real weirdo.
All counts and the dog Breezy, too. The judge mentioned him.
The right verdict. Thank you Jury.
He’s like “I can’t believe they found me guilty after my totally convincing and not self serving at all testimony on the stand.” Good riddance! Hey, maybe one of your fellow inmates can make your wish of joining your family come true!
Better yet, I hope he’s passed around, with kool-aid lips. Every day seemingly longer to him, and for him, than the day before. He’ll be shaking his head alright, but he will be on his knees.
🤞
They could....ahhhh if only a fellow inmate knew what he was in for. Family annihilators are not tolerated at all.
Which video shows him on the stand?
Perfect!!!
He’s a coward of the worst type. No remorse or admittance
It’s just about his self pity and victim blaming.
Sickening- take him down and throw away the key
100.percent x✊💯
My question is… why is he upset? Did he really think he was gonna go free after murdering his family?
I don't know what he was expecting..he confessed!
boa noite amiga👍👏
never talk to the police without your lawyer!
Did you read that he wrote a letter to his father that his wife had killed the children ? Maybe he killed the wife for it and then confessed he killed his wife because of that. Ether way there would be no reason to live if he lost his children like that...
@@michaeldemaranville7645 chris watts said same thing
@@michaeldemaranville7645 he was just trying to set up his innocence! Who sleeps with his murdered family for 3 weeks!!
Ugh how could anyone stand being in his company⁉️ because after 5 minutes watching him on the stand I really hated him, he's a know it all and very scary 🤬
If I keep shaking my head, the court will realise they've made a mistake and send me home.🤔
He's shaking his head no in disbelief.
He knowes who and what's waiting for him now.
He will never sleep well again cause of what he did.
Who is waiting for him?
@@user.--.Big Bubba
@@deannad3077 And Bubba does not like baby killers.
He sleeps fine with what he did he feels no remorse he's just upset he's going to prison for life
he tells himself..." o j walks.... maybe he killed my family....yes......rigghhhttt!!!!!
He can’t believe he’s being held accountable.
The judge is fantastic. He cannot be less impressed by Todt’s sermon.
Usually defense attorneys are chummy with their client to make him appear more likeable. Not these two, they know he is the worst of the worst . The lady doesn't flinch, never looks at him or talks to him. They just want this to be over.
Maybe that helped with the jurys decision
@@jerrywoods4066 lol no he did that to himself he was the most arrogant and smug defendant I've ever seen or heard in my entire life even if I had no facts on the case I would find him guilty
DING DONG!!!! This guy really thought he was going to get by with these murders. Bye, buddy!
I noticed from the first day of the trial something odd about the female lawyer sitting to his right. Even when he spoke to her, she wasn't making eye contact. What a bizarre interaction... but, then again, I guess defending a man that murders his family (including the dog) would elicit that kind of behaviour.
I've only seen the outrageous testimony he gave in court, but it gave me the impression that he he thinks women are beneath him, some kind of lesser species. If I'd had to sit next to him, I wouldn't have made eye contact with him either 😒
I noticed that too! Clearly, Todt repulses her
Either this guy disagrees with the jury's opinion of his guilt, or he's suffering from an advanced stage of Parkinson's.
🤣🤣🤣
,😯😀😀😀
I went to college with both of them. Tony was my RA freshman year. I’m still shocked but I’m glad he will rot in prison
I'm sure he was a really "great" RA.
Dont said that you'r happy he will rot in prison,,bc alot of you and him in USA without soul and drink alot win and drug ..

His lawyers want nothing to do with him. They know his case was indefensible and he’s a psychopath. I’m sure they did their best, though.
what can you with a guy who hangs out in the house with his dead family for three weeks drinking and eating fast food.
Shaking his head in disbelief as if he nailed it on the witness stand. The narcissism is overwhelming. 🙄
Did he really think his disgusting performance yesterday where he tried blaming it all on his wife was actually going to work? He came across as a highly unpleasant individual and the Chris Watts defense ain't gonna wash!
The Chris Watts defense, eh?
yet women who kill their children exist and it is even often the case
What was that?
@@nancyfahey7518 Chris Watts is the most intelligent, thoughtful & articulate defendant in the expanding universe.
Id say it's more of a Christian Longo defense
Dude, shaking your head "no" isn't going to make the guilty verdicts go away.
You have to wonder whether jury members need counseling after trials like this one.
Or if any of us need it! 👍
This was reasonably FAST . Yes correct verdict .
What on earth is his lawyer typing!?! Every time you see her she’s typing like crazy! She doesn’t even look up at the jury coming in. So disrespectful
I noted the same thing I hope she wasn't typing the appeal letter. 😭😱😤 Rest in heavenly 🙏 peace Megan, Alex, Tyler and Zoey and the family 🐕

What else could the verdict be for such a horrible and evil little man !!
Toft is a very controlling, cocky, narcissistic person. It all showed during his testimony. He was the same with his wife, children and dog. I never believed for a second that his wife did this. Hope justice is really served to him in prison.
He tried to claim his wife did it??? Sounds like the exact same tactic Chris Watts tried to use...didn't work for him either. What a spineless coward.
@@lesliesorady5771 I was just going to say the same thing
you want him to be killed in prison? is that your vision of justice?
@@lesliesorady5771 yet women who kill their children exist and it is even often the case
Most definitely he will be dealt with!
The statement he made after the sentence was given was as good as a confession. He deserves everything he has coming to him.
Really glad that the judge insisted Todt be present for sentencing.
Todt is not helping himself by shaking his head throughout the verdict and afterwards. He has no clue how he appears to others. Also it looks like his attorney is wearing a back brace...and is stuck with such an uncooperative client...I wouldn't be surprised if he retires after this case is done. You earned this verdict Mr Todt.
Absolutely nothing can make up for what has already been done. With that said, I pray that Megan and Anthony’s families can now start to move forward given the verdict sent down today. RIP Megan, Alexander, Tyler, Zoey and family friend, their family pet. May this conclusion bring some peace where it is so desperately needed not only today but forevermore.🙏🏼
Great job Jury, Thank you.
He is nodding his head due to the fact his fictional story and the way he delivered his story did not work in his favour.
All that work for two years completely ignored by twelve people.
How annoyed he must feel.
Another blow to his over inflated ego.
Animals deserve to be recognized as this judge did describing Todt as murdering the family dog. I believe all animals 🐕 🐈⬛ 🐼 🦮🐇🐿🐄🐎🐾have a soul 🐾🌸🐾🌸🐾
That's a very sweet message. But animals do not have souls.
Yea... they don't.

@@jeremyjohnson9222 humans are animals, so humans must not have souls either
Yes they do.
I love that their dog Breezy got justice as well as the wife and children.
For anyone interested more about the background of this case, try searching on YT for "Looking for the Todt family", this series of ten episodes podcast gave us tons of more background and info that the prosecution didn't touch on.
For example, I found out about how his father perhaps played an important role on how he became like this. The funniest part was Antony actually called them from jail sounding very upbeat that he'll get out in a few months....then he'll go on to that podcast for a full interview. Whoops, that didn't work out!
Good looking out!! I really want to hear that call lol!!
Thanks, I just added that to my podcast likes. 👌
Thanks!!
He really believed he would be going home. That’s so wild to me.
@@udhehfhehcuw9169 he was on the cusp of being charged with Medicare/medicaid fraud. His business was raided and it was going to come out that he was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. That Chapter did a great episode regarding this case.
As IF he should be allowed to be excused for the sentencing ! Give me a break !
Rest in Peace to the all the family and family 🐕
God 🙏 bless their soul May the family resting in peace
boa noite👍
I'm pleased that the jury see right through him,just like us.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well done to everyone involved for putting this vile man, where HE BELONGS.
The man never stops shaking his head as if that will change things. He insults the jury by shaking it througout the judge's recognition of their service and thanking them for their time. He is probably making the jury more certain than ever that their verdict was correct,
How badly do you have to delude yourself to shake your head in apparent shock as the VERY obvious guilty verdict is read out SMH
He acts as if there would of been a different verdict! The audacity of bringing this to trial then to behave as if he could change the outcome is baffling! Thank God for the jury and justice for that precious family.
His painful, torturous, and terrifying time in jail is his sentence.
Prison not jail.
His attorneys could care less lol
I see that. Lol
that's right, even breezy got justice!! I'm sure Megan is resting better knowing her name has been cleared!!
I hope, when someone's about to give him a taste of what he deserves, he begs for mercy but they shake their head and give him more. What a filthy excuse for a man.
Shaking his head for a long time isn’t going to make anyone believe you didn’t do it !!!
I love how he says how much he loves his wife but then pins everything on her even the FBI stuff
I’m dizzy watching his head-shaking denial. 🤣
😂
Yes..Thank you jury👍⚖️🙏
I've never seen a person shake his head "no" for as long as Todt. Unsettling.
Haha the way the Defence Councill didn't even acknowledge or give him a back pat or even look at him shows the disdain they have for him. You could tell in the trial the way they didn't object to the prosecution that they were hanging him out to dry. Good job well done by the jury.
You can see how repulsed the woman defense attorney is.
She did her job properly.
But she can't even look at him, and sits as far away from him as she can.
When the clerk read the verdict forms did anyone else hear her state the date as 2020 instead of 2022?
Oh god I was so nervous when i read jury was hung up, thank you for the verdict!
