I have small children.

I have seen that face before, and it usually involves just before a dirty diaper.

Now that's a first on Dateline.

He had that expression of bearing down, and he was kind of turning red, and you never saw a tear.

Next up, the first officer on the scene that night.

He testified that Lars didn't look like a man who'd been doing CPR on his mortally wounded wife.

Detectives told the jury Lars put on an emotional display.

They played that video of Lars at the police station to show how he seemed to keep adding details to his story of the shooting.

And how, in the midst of tragedy, Lars still had the presence of mind to ask for his favorite beverage.

I enjoy Dr. Pepper every now and again, but I don't want to drink a Dr. Pepper when my hands are covered in my wife's blood.

The prosecution's case revolved around this question.

Around 4 a.m.

in a dark house, could Lars see well enough to know who he was shooting?

Liz Sevilla, a frequent house guest of Debbie and Lars's, testified she could easily see at night in their home.

And remember, Debbie was only about three feet away when Lars shot her.

Prosecutor Carl Alexander wanted to show the jury just how close that is.

That close.

What was the experience?

Terrifying.

I'm a gun owner.
