@crmnallyobsessed: "MONEY AND REVENGE" BEHIND MURDER?: Thomas and Angela Strussion were found dead inside their burning Belmont County home in 2021. Andrew Griffin, their former business partner in Salsa Joe's, is accused of their murders. He has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors described a $106,000 business dispute, a mystery phone they say links Griffin to the killings, and DNA they say was found inside a motorcycle helmet. They also told jurors a family friend would testify that he heard Griffin say, “I had to go get my money and I killed two people.” Angela’s father testified Griffin repeatedly suggested the killings looked like a “mob hit” and said he feared for his life. The defense says a conspiracy existed—but Griffin wasn’t part of it. It challenges the credibility of key witnesses and argues there’s no forensic evidence tying Griffin to the murders. Opening statements are not evidence. The jury must decide whether the state proves its case beyond a reasonable doubt. #TrueCrime #TrialNews #OhioCrime
