Josh Hedrick and Rebecca LeGrand present their final arguments to the jury. They bring in a bed with the actual bloody sheets from the crime scene for a dramatic reenactment. Prosecutor Stephen Crump reiterates his argument that the blood spatter present at the crime scene is not possible unless someone else shot David Leath. Amidst this back-and-forth, we sat down with Stephen Walker, who claims Raynella Leath tried to kill him years ago, a claim Raynella denies. And none of Walker's claims are allowed in court.

Raynella Leath's defense attorneys Josh Hedrick and Rebecca LeGrand paint David Leath as a man in decline, introducing medical records and anecdotal evidence to provide a motive for his alleged suicide. They attempt to chip away at the prosecution's arguments, using the same evidence to construct a different story of what happened the night David Leath died. The defense also brings its own medical expert, who introduces a key idea: the difference between the concepts of being innocent and not guilty.

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.

Raynella Dossett Leath said she came home one morning in 2003 and found her husband’s body in bed—covered in blood, a Colt .38 by his side. But authorities were suspicious of Raynella’s story. Why would her husband of ten years suddenly commit suicide? And if he had taken his own life, why did it appear that three shots were fired? David Leath was not the first of Raynella’s husbands to turn up dead. After digging into Raynella’s past, police unearthed bizarre, gruesome details surrounding the death of her first husband, who was seemingly trampled by his own cattle. Which led investigators to wonder: Could Raynella have staged his death, too? To those who knew her, Raynella was a loving mother of two, a good neighbor and friend, a nurse who always reached out a helping hand. Was this woman capable of killing both her husbands? And if so: Why did she do it—out of greed, jealousy or revenge? This is the story about what dark secrets were lurking inside HER DEADLY WEB-Diane Fanning
