A Ukrainian adoptee wept in court as his lawyer detailed his troubled life before he allegedly slaughtered his “caring” American parents.

Dima Tower’s audible sobs filled the courtroom in Sarasota, Fla., on Wednesday as defense attorney Marc Gilman acknowledged his client — who faces two first-degree murder charges in the August 2023 deaths of Jennifer and Robbie Tower — is not an innocent man.

“This trial is going to be a little bit different,” Gilman told the jury in his opening statement, according to CourtTV. “If you’re expecting that I’m going to stand here and say that Mr. Tower is not guilty of anything, you’d be incorrect.”

Gilman brought up the different levels of murder and homicide, but was interrupted when Tower, 21, burst into tears as he held his face in his hands.
