after seven weeks of testimony, final arguments from both sides, defense attorney bamieh made an impassioned plea to the jury. why would jane laut do this? why would she do this? when you think about it, there s only one real reason. only one. it s what anybody would do to protect their child. anyone. you do not have the right to kill your husband while the prosecutor urged the jury to look past the emotion and focus on the evidence. the defendants testimony is false, it is untruthful, it is unbelievable. it is a story conjured up to raise her battered women self-defense claim in a murder case, it was plan b, because plan a didn t work. and it s a lie. jurors deliberated for three and a half days. and then finally, march 30th 2016, announced they we re ready. jane, supported by helen and
a medal? he s my big brother bodies like my superman. he was my superman. don laut is dave s younger brother by nine and a half years. dave and don shared a passion for athletics and fitness from their father. i remember my first milk when i was a kid was a protein powder. this is all really built in your dna almost, this part of your life. yeah it really. is here is where that dna was planted: oxnard, california. this is she knew the loudest growing up and that big old farming family of their childhood best friend. my dad s were both farmers old farming families were both from. a lob occurs were big. there were just lots of a lawbreakers you know it was, just a multiply they were good catholics. and helen s friend, jane grew up to be especially beautiful, featured in her high school yearbook is homecoming queen. but she was not ever concerned with that.
through the years. which maybe didn t add up either. i honestly felt like she was family, so, i am going to dismiss the strange feeling i get sometimes. like rebecca said back in the time, jane told her that two men put a knife to her throat and demanded money. and i said, well, did you call the police? did you yell? she says, oh, no, i just came home. i just wanted to get home. and i said, this was in the middle of the day? no one else saw? and she said no. and then there was her claim that peep someone was leaving threatening notes on her car. and then you would ask her and probe her, what kind of notes and she doesn t even tell you. the implication is that
shot one appeared to be fired from a distance, several feet. what found pieces of scrap on the garbage can, and the bullet hit the wall. that s what brought him to his knees, where the killer fired shots to win three into his face at close range. we find the one that goes through his cheek bone, it goes down the side yard, bounces off the concrete. it nicks the fence, and that bullet, we matched out on the sidewalk. shots five, four, and six hit the upper arm, and back, the back of his head. we believe shot six, the final shot, was the shot to the back of the head. from the very beginning, jane denied she had anything to do with it. i did not do it. i don t know what happened. i didn t do it. i m truly scared. okay. but they didn t believe her. especially when they found out that the bullets that killed dave matched the gun in the grandfather clock. and now, don and rebecca laut began to look at things differently. things jane had told them
covering up a major mistake. calk lost a test. they search for they couldn t find it. anyway investigators looked at the crime scene evidence just plain got it wrong. once they concluded she was a murder, he says, i actually distorted the evidence to fit their story. people one about a 90 degree angle and hit the wall and deposit a piece of scalp matter on the ground. you re saying it s? impossible it s ludicrous inviolate slough s ex. and what s more he says, the dna on the gas gun was dave s, once again supporting jane s contention that he had a gun and then they struggled for it. his dna is on the trigger. there s no getting around that fact. one more thing said danier. one more bit of evidence that the police missed, even though it was right under their noses. bruising on jane s upper right arm, photographed the morning after jay davis killed. if you look at the photograph carefully, you see there s a little handprint. a handshake bruise that
