Jane Laut was charged with murder in the 2009 killing of her husband, Dave Laut, an Olympic athlete and local sports hero. Jane’s story of relentless abuse at the hands of her husband made for a shocking and contentious trial that still haunts many of the major players, including Ron Bamieh, who served as her defense attorney. In Part Two of our series, Ron tells the story of Jane’s trial, which holds a number of shocking developments, from prosecutorial misconduct to an outcome that remains incredibly disturbing. Stay tuned for Part 3, with Danielle De Smeth’s story of her own role in the case, along with perspectives on domestic violence and women in the justice system, coming soon.
