Summary
Jurors are chosen and the prosecution begins its case against Raynella Leath for the murder of her second husband, David Leath. District Attorney General Stephen Crump heads the prosecution team and looks to establish that this was a murder, not a suicide, despite there not being a clear motive. He focuses on two key pieces of evidence: the gun used to shoot David and the blood spatter found on the headboard of his bed. Two experts are also brought in to reinforce the prosecution’s narrative. Join 48 Hours’ correspondent Erin Moriarty as she revisits the murder investigation of Raynella Leath.
