conclusion. is to find the defendant guilty of murder. i m about to talk to you for quite some time. defense attorney ron bamieh, said the real victim was jane, who suffered the utmost cruelty at the hands of her husband. he is not the hero of the olympics. he is the monster who abused her for 27 years. the defense call family, friends, and neighbors, they all testified that jane was an abused spouse. but the most important witness was the defendant herself. she pleaded not guilty. she has to testify. the judge would not allow camera to roll, when for the first time, publicly, three tiers, changed her story. she said that she took dave s abuse for nearly three decades, until the night he threatened their son. the fact that she could live with the fact that he could kill her, she could not live with the fact that he would kill michael.
you have verbal abuse, names he would call her, over a long period of time, emotional abuse, the way treats are. we have physical abuse, that s everything from the pitching, the slamming, throng or down, pulling her hair, spitting on her. and jane wasn t the only victim. jay was angry that is adopted sign michael was not adopted. you call michael names like names that were just horrible. we have yelling at the street, but how he can t ride a bike, catch up football, throw. he was afraid of what he might do so she didn t report him. so she covered up his abuse and her injuries. we obtained this summary of a police report from the 19 80s in which chain reported that an intruder attacked her while she was alone at work. at the time, police found the injuries consistent with jane s story. in fact, danier said, dave inflicted those injuries, then ordered chain to lie and blamed a nonexistent intruder. a pattern of covering up dave s abuse, abuse which by the
summer of 2009, was getting worse. from june of 09 to august 09, it was escalating. but jane continued to take it. until that particular august 9th when something changed. that night, according to danier for the first time, they ve threatened michael s life. she really believe that he was gonna kill michael? yes. jane had taken michael to the beach that day said danier. they were late getting home. dave was upset. he started screaming yelling. no one respects me. don t get any attention, nobody cares about me. james put michael the bed, got into pajamas and waited for days anger to subside. but he wasn t calming down, so about 10:30 or 11:00, he comes out of the room, he s upset and he s angry. and that s when she saw the gun said danier. he s holding a source talking about michael that they don t respect him and he s
someone s after her, and she s in some danger. yes. and now, one day look back at the things they noticed over the years, it was like something fell into place for them. there was a separation. it was like jane was the parent, and michael was the child. dave was in the way. you have the sense that she was pushing dave away? yes. i think that was the stress. on the marriage. there was stress, that was pretty clear, said rebecca. for a while, every time she would call me, it seemed like it was to vent about something she did not like about what dave was doing. so, evidence was carefully sifted for months. and then, in february 2010, jane laut was arrested and charged with first degree murder. the story, said investigators, was chillingly clear. this was an execution. she lured him out, shot him from behind, and then aggressed on him, sat on him in the second, third time. step back, shot him a fourth time. came up super close, and shot him two more times, one to the back
