Trial Begins For Man Accused In Attack On Parents

MIAMI (CBS4) ? Jury selection is scheduled to get underway Monday in Miami-Dade for the trial of a man accused of arranging for the murder of his parents.

Christopher Sutton is accused of convincing his former roommate Garrett Kopp to break into his parents' home and kill them.

In August 2004, John and Susan Sutton, both 57, were ambushed inside their home at 4725 Orduna Dr., east of the Riviera Country Club. John was left blind after being shot six times with a 9mm gun in his face and torso. His wife Susan was killed in the couple's master bedroom.

The crime went unsolved for months until detectives eventually picked up Kopp through forensic evidence linked to the crime. During questioning Kopp 'implicated' Sutton in the shootings. The two men once lived in the same South Miami apartment complex. Police picked up Sutton and charged both men with first degree murder.

In 2008, Kopp pled guilty to the murder and in exchange for a 30-year prison sentence agreed to testify against Sutton.

Most of the ones I know are in jail for murder or they killed themselves.
