Sneak peek: The Widow on Solway Road | Forensic Files

[Music] there was more than one shot and while that's not unheard of well it didn't
look like a suicide scene he stated so that the person who delivered that fatal blow raynella leath
he was shot almost in the middle of his forehead but right above his his left eye there were no signs of forced entry
there were no signs of a struggle and there was no one else at the residence but the defendant can you connect
raynella to that weapon fingerprints anyone see her pick up the gun no to any of the bullets that were used in that
gun no that's a problem isn't it in this case [Music] everything good about this woman was
twisted everything good about this woman was turned around to be evil there's not
any real evidence to suggest a homicide and if I were to pull the trigger in this direction I could strike myself the
left eyebrow yes you could there was only one person who wanted to harm David and at that point it was David she was
acting suicidal and he makes his decision and he takes aim he's a great lawyer he's super prepared fantastic
lawyer fantastic the bad actor I just tried to focus on the evidence and where that was leaving me it was
hard for me to determine you tell me if that's approximately one foot where we were going with certain things and
trying to piece those things together decide each line as an individual stain but you're not making a decision just by
yourself you're making the decision as a group this is the decision never to be taken lightly and I assure you that this
Court takes this responsibility very seriously as a senior judge most every case that I
try is somewhat controversial now in this case it's kind of simple if it was a homicide did the evidence show that
raynella leath committed the homicide ladies and gentlemen of the jury I really could not believe what he was
saying as he said it you're not quite sure if this is really where this is going I personally I've studied every
shred of evidence or testimony just like you had oh I gotta breathe no matter where we think we're going here that
can't be how this ends [Music] [Music] forty-eight hours the widow on Solway Road continues in 90 seconds
