and hit that bottom, you could not see me at all from lindsay s viewpoint. and now the prosecutor was ready. in may 2011, one year after the first jury deadlocked, burke strunsky went back to court armed with new evidence for a brand-new panel of hall s peers. jurors heard medical experts testify about the injuries to cristi s head and once again heard lindsay s 911 call. i saw him put her under water. cristi s co-workers testified for the prosecution. and jerry winkel travelled from idaho to tell jurors what he thought of chris hall. i was ashamed to admit he was once a police officer. if the prosecution had upped its game between the two years of trial, so had the defense. that s when well-known attorneys steve harmon and paul gretch entered the scene and came out swinging. that story about cristi s affair, for example? there s a shadow hanging over all of this stuff.

and nothing at all like a victory for the hall daughters. what was it like to get that hung jury? what did you think then? that was tragic. that was devastating to us. you expected a not guilty verdict? oh, yes. not a doubt. deputy d.a. burke strunsky was disappointed too. he was also determined to retry the case. but first he sent his investigator on a mission to explore the life and marriage of chris hall. and what do you know. in idaho, where hall had been a disgraced police chief, the investigator uncovered a startling accusation. chris was a great, great con man. former los angeles police officer jerry winkel is a county commissioner up in idaho now. but once upon a time he was chris hall s friend, that is, before a night of poker and booze when he said paul made a disturbing revelation, that he had shot himself in the leg when he was a cop in order to get retirement benefits.
