Her large, angry, husband threw himself again and again at the front door of their modest home. She had taken beatings from him before when he was in such violent moods, she wasn't going to let him hurt her again. She grabbed a pistol as the door gave way. He laughed manically, knowing she didn't have the guts to pull the trigger. As he crossed the room to grab the gun and beat her, she shot him, then she emptied the gun. Every bullet found its mark.
The San Juan Island County Prosecuting Attorney smiled when the case fell on his desk. He was running for re-election in a tight race and believed a guilty verdict in this high-profile case would assure him a win. After all, she had emptied the revolver which made it a murder rather than self-defense. What the prosecutor didn't expect, was a crime scene investigator from the Bay Area, a man named Carl Bowman. Using meticulous forensic methodology. Bowman is able to reenact the shooting scene before the jury, proving not only how six bullets created nineteen wounds, but also sequencing the shots to prove that only the last was fatal.
