reporter: jermeir confessing under oath the shameful sin he d kept hidden for so long, his office affair with shannon crawley. he even revealed that when he heard something had happened to denita he immediately suspected shannon. and one of the things that popped in my head based on my recent interactions with shannon was that maybe she had done something. he told everything on the stand. reporter: but he didn t hold back? no, he really didn t hold back. the story is out. so you have to go ahead and tell the truth because if you don t you look like a liar now. reporter: so in that sense, jermeir did do the right thing? he did. reporter: the defense argued shannon was being framed for a murder jermeir alone committed. shannon crawley s lawyer was trying to paint jermeir as a crooked cop, you know, everything kind of elevates shannon crawley as she couldn t do anything like this. it has to be this bad cop over here.
there was no murder weapon. and she hardly looked like a killer. i thought she might be able to sell the story. i figured she d be dressed real conservative, probably come in looking like she just landed off the mayflower, and that somebody would be sympathetic. reporter: from the beginning the prosecution portrayed shannon as a woman scorned, who couldn t have jermeir stroud to herself, so she made sure denita smith wouldn t either. shannon, suggested prosecutor saacks, was either carrying a torch for jermeir or trying to burn down his whole world by killing his fiancee and pinning it on him. for whatever reason, she couldn t handle the situation between jermeir and denita. and to resort to this, just to me, speaks of desperation. reporter: the prosecution s star witness? jermeir stroud, whose courtroom testimony was broadcast on local tv.
david saacks says the rape was properly investigated and seemed to be nothing more than a hoax. which also, for him, finally answered that lingering question of who was stalking whom. everything was pointing to her and the only thing that was pointing to jermeir was that he was in this affair with shannon. i do not believe he was involved in the murder. i do not think he was involved in the planning or the execution of this murder at all. reporter: and even if jermeir wanted denita out of his life, what could possibly be his motive to kill her? and this is exactly what i thought. why? all he had to do is call denita up and say, it s over. reporter: there s no property. no property. reporter: there s no alimony. and it doesn t make sense. reporter: he seems genuinely crushed by what happened. absolutely. reporter: as the trial approached, the d.a. facing a circumstantial case with a seemingly credible defendant, offered shannon crawley a deal. plead guilty to denit
