Jane Laut

It was on his laptop, I guess.

Did he threaten to leave you?

No.

Never talked about it.

But the computer evidence was only one part of the state's case.

Investigators insist Jane was never in danger the night of the shooting and that she lied to police from the start.

Manui even showed the jury that grandfather clock where Jane hid the gun after she killed her husband.

You said there was no sign of a struggle out in the back?

No.

Was there any sign that there had been any kind of fight inside the house?

Nothing.

What about on Jane?

The defense has never denied that Jane shot Dave that night, but Attorney Ron Bamier has always said she had no choice.

What evidence is there that he was the aggressor that night?

Bamier showed the jury these photos taken the morning after the shooting of a large bruise on Jane's left arm, an injury she says she sustained while struggling with Dave over the gun.

But it's possible a bruise can develop with time.

Having turned down five plea deals, Jane had only one option now.

If she wanted the jury to understand why she did what she did that night, she had to tell them herself.

How difficult was it to testify a trial?

It was awful, but it felt kind of good.
