Wood chips found in the families washing machine appeared to link anne to the crime, but the defense was about to attack the very foundation of the prosecution s case. here s josh mankiewicz with the conclusion of the house. charged with her husband s murder, anne allen pleaded not guilty and waited in jail for her trial to begin. her friend, rita, was stunned. i was like, you ve got to be kidding. there is no way that anne would do something so heinous. there is no way. anne s defense attorney, andrea jessica, she s in jail and she just couldn t conceive that anybody could think that this lifelong nurse would harm anyone. jessica says he looked at the states case and saw no real evidence.

Verdict. when the verdict was read, anne just started wailing, just wailing and she kept on just saying, thank you god, thank you god, thank you god. i had a lot of people who were praying for anne. and when i heard the verdict, it was like yes. the prayers were answered. she was found not guilty. and she was set free. i think she got away with murder. everybody got up, it was over up on to the next case. scotts friends at the fbi were devastated. i wish there was more justice for him. he worked as an investigator, solving crimes. and his crime will never, i don t think never will be solved. the police later closed the case. pending new information. since she was acquitted, she cannot be tried again for murder. and after the verdict, she moved to another state. as for riley and kelly?
