The prosecutors knew they had to do more with a lot less evidence, and that included getting the jury to focus on Susan's potential motive.

Jake's friend Douglas Buckner testified again, and prosecutor Guy Terry asked him to tell the jury about something new.

Oh.

The prosecution said Susan was worried that if he showed Jake the texts, Jake would divorce her.

And the prosecution said Susan didn't want a divorce.

She wanted Jake's money, specifically that life insurance policy Jake had signed over to her.

After his death, Susan received a payout, but Jake's children never got a dime.

However, prosecutors Dowdy White and Guy Terry say the most important part of the case was the crime scene analysis.

We had to focus on the crime scene.

The only solid evidence remaining from the crime scene?

Those photos.

These pictures are absolutely crucial.

They were absolutely critical in the entire analysis.

Prosecutors say the photo of the gun in Jake's hand was most telling.

Given the power of a .45 caliber, the gunpowder in there, you're going to have a gun that kicks.

Are you saying it's likely that the gun would have had so much kick it would have just flown out of his hand?

It probably would have flown out of his hand and ended up on the ground over here.

Another critical detail, the gun was found in Jake's right hand.

So this is Jake's right hand.

Jake's left hand did it.
