Sneak peek: The Widow on Solway Road | Forensic Files

[Music] stay tuned show that on march 13th 2003 David Lee was killed by a single gunshot
wound to his forehead the report on the novel one call was that he'd shot himself gentleman laying in a bed guns
laying beside him another home he loved his head there there's also a shot which
is a little suspicious 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 but the person who delivered that fatal blow raynella Lee 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 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 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 a bad actor [Music] I just tried to focus on the evidence
and where that was leading 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 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 personally I've studied every shred of evidence or
testimony just like you had oh I got to breathe no matter where we think we're going
here that can't be how the scenes [Music] [Music] forty-eight hours the widow once alway
