The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

I'm moved for it.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

It's a pretty emotional topic, obviously.

And there was no evidence of any sexual abuse?

The judge denied Evans' motion for a mistrial.

After three days, the prosecution rested.

Now Evans had to present a defense.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

He told us he didn't argue Robert was innocent because he thought the evidence against him was overwhelming.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

His strategy, he says, was to try to save Robert's life by conceding he did something, but he didn't mean to kill his daughter.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

His argument was that Robert was an overwhelmed parent.

Evans called a witness to the stand to try to counter what Robert's girlfriend, Teddy Cox, had said about seeing Robert shaking Nicky in the past.

The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

Patricia Conklin, Teddy's sister, said Teddy had a reputation for being a liar.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

She testified she'd seen Robert with Nicky many times and said he was gentle and that she'd never seen him be violent with Nicky or anyone.

Robert's fate was now in the hands of the jury.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

Terry Compton was one of the jurors.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

How much were you paying attention to Robert and his reaction?

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

Terry said Robert's attorney was right about the impact of those autopsy photos.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

I don't know how you shake those images.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

But what stood out even more was that stuffed toy demonstration.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

She remembers how violently the girl shook the teddy bear.

Dateline Originals
The Last Appeal - Ep. 1: Nikki

But it obviously had an effect on you.
