At some point, Mr. Winger shoots Roger Harrington in the head.
I believe that Donna was in the bedroom because she didn't want to be around Roger.
She comes running out of the bedroom to see what had happened.
Untangling the evidence in this seven-year-old case was a huge job for the jurors.
The defense told them that unlike Winger, who was successful and a respected member of the community, Roger Harrington had a troubled, violent past.
The defense also pointed out that at the time of the murder in 1995, detectives had the Polaroids, they had the note in the car.
In fact, they had all the same evidence that they now found so incriminating against Winger.
Deanne Schultz, who was given immunity, provided the only new evidence, testimony that Winger had talked about killing his wife.
But she had attempted suicide four times and had undergone electroshock therapy.
By now, Winger and his new wife had four children, including the baby he and Donna adopted.
But Roger Harrington's family was looking for justice.
Were you sure that your son didn't do it?
No matter what the decision was, one family would feel more pain.
