Jane Laut

Why'd it take so long?

So why do you think she killed your son?

My personal feeling is that she was afraid Dave was going to take Michael.

Next, Jane tells us her side of the story.

Jane Laut says she never planned to kill her husband.

I thought it, for sure.

It was the only way to stop him.

You don't get how he would not stop coming after me.

She was used to abuse, she says, but that night she says Dave went further than he ever had.

Normally he'd get mad and it would taper off sometimes, but he never stopped all night.

He just kept raging.

Jane claims she first noticed Dave's temper when they were dating, and Dave was going for the gold.

There were signals I didn't really pay attention to before.

Just his anger, his, you know, if something didn't go right, if he couldn't find something.

If he's throwing away the shot and it doesn't go as far as he wants, he's just losing his temper.

The first time Dave hit her, Jane says, was also shortly after they were married.

Dave was going out of town to an Olympic training session, and it was Jane's job to pack his bags.

He told me... If anybody asks, tell them some s*** did it.

And that, says Jane, is exactly what she told everyone.

I told him somebody mugged me.
