A witness in the preliminary exam for the two men accused in the fatal Cipriano home invasion testified Wednesday that he was with the pair weeks before the murder and heard them discussing of possibly killing the family for money.
The witness, Ian Zinderman, 20, said, “Tucker was estimating (there would be) $3,000 overall,” according to the Oakland Press.
Zinderman said their planning got very specific: Tucker Cipriano, 19, and Mitchell (Roderick) Young, 20, even figured out in advance who would kill whom.
"Tucker was going to go after his two brothers," Zinderman told a courtroom packed with Cipriano family and friends, some fighting tears and holding hands. "And Roderick was going to go after the mom and dad, and Roderick was supposed to go for the sister."
