Reporters from around the world swarmed the courthouse to cover the salacious story.

The woman accused of seducing a teenage boy and convincing him and his friends to kill her husband.

All I can remember hearing is this explosion of flashbulbs going off like...

What kind of impact did it have on the trial, all that attention?

I mean, certainly I think the court had to take certain precautions to make sure things didn't get out of hand.

Pamela's defense attorney, Mark Sisti, says things had already gotten out of hand.

That was the backdrop as the state of New Hampshire laid out its case.

And fired one fatal shot into the head of Gregory Smart.

Prosecutors contended in their opening arguments that Pamela Smart was a calculating temptress, a woman who lured young Billy Flynn with promises of sex and money.

One by one, the teens, who had already pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, took the stand.

In homes, bars, diners, and barbershops, the people watched as they described an awful crime.

One admitted driving the others to murder Greg Smart as he told it the motive was money for him and for Pamela.

He said Pam told them there would be a big life insurance payout after Greg was killed and they would get some of the money.

What did you expect to receive?

From who?

The driver told the jury how Pamela Smart issued detailed instructions, including no stabbing.

But one of the teens found a butcher knife in Pamela's kitchen and held it to Greg's throat as he attempted to rob him.

At the center of this R-rated courtroom drama was the love-struck teenage killer, Billy Flynn.

He took the stand on his 17th birthday and testified about how he and Pamela Smart became intimate.

Flynn testified that while Pamela's husband was away on a ski trip, she invited him into her bedroom.
