she kept reiterating how happy she was. it was kind of odd. me and brie will always cherish that. didn t think much of it at that, but that being the last time we actually saw her kind of burned into your memory yeah. but right or wrong, the legal trigger had been pulled. chris hall spent almost two months in jail, until his daughters received the payout from cristi s life insurance policy and used the money to meet his million-dollar then he went home to what was meant to be his retirement retreat with the help of his daughters to prepare for a murder trial. it s very surprising to have a client in a murder case out on but he was a special man. and this was a special situation. these are attorneys who would eventually defend him, although at first they only heard about the case, steve harmon and paul gretch. you ve
times when she was not looking. that scream that made lindsay patterson look over the wall? lindsay, they pointed out, was in a bathroom that faced the street. she wasn t in the backyard when she said she heard it. could have been anybody. and courtney, near the spa, inside her own house, didn t hear a thing. we don t think she was lying. we think she misinterpreted what she saw. lindsay concedes she didn t know what she was seeing in those glimpses that morning. something was wrong. yet you hadn t really seen anything no. but i knew something was i don t know if in my brain i was putting things together. but from between the scream, the position that he was holding her, and then just not having enough time for her to have gone inside. it s like you ve got three different snapshots. right. of something going on there. right. and had to kind of work out
i can t even start to imagine what you re going through, okay? just, you know, it s a death investigation and we have to do this, okay? happy to help, he said. whatever would get him back home to comfort his daughters as quickly as possible. we re all so close. chris told investigators what happened. how, as courtney slept, he and cristi were in the spa bathing. she got up, went in, went to the bathroom, got some more coffee, tried to wake up courtney. courtney didn t wake up, and apparently she came back out. as cristi returned to the spa, said chris, they passed each other on the patio. he went in the house, stopped by courtney s room to make sure she was awake, then went right back outside and saw his wife floating face down in the spa. he called courtney then, he said, and they began a frantic effort to revive her. from what,
said the defense, lindsay patterson didn t really know what she saw. in fact, if she really witnessed chris hall drowning his wife, why then didn t she claim to see cristi s body in the spa when she looked again? it didn t make sense. but the highlight was the hall s daughters testimony, emotional, quite powerful. it put prosecutor strunsky in a strange position, at odds with the victim s own family. they were so clear, if we had any inkling he had done this, we would have done something, we would have seen it. said so, we would have seen it. and i think that s what they truly believe in their hearts. this weighs on my greatly. but my job is to get justice for cristi. now it was up to a jury to decide, after six days of testimony, two days of deliberation, they couldn t. it was a deadlock. the judge declared a mistrial. chris hall walked out of court with his family, free, but not quite in the clear. and nothing at all
