after listening to the evidence, danita was torn. when, after three and a half hours of deliberation, the jury announced it had a verdict. >> reporter: now, take me right through your mind and your stomach as you're walkin' back into the courtroom. >> shakin' badly. barely could stand on my feet. we holdin' hands, walkin' back in there. >> reporter: did they see greg as a stone killer capable of premeditated murder? or an innocent, grieving husband? the answer is, neither. the verdict they reached was something in between. guilty of manslaughter, a lesser charge which the judge allowed them to consider. the prosecutor was flabbergasted. >> i -- i just about passed out and so did the defense attorney. nobody argued manslaughter. >> reporter: she wanted to know why the jury rejected her argument of premeditated murder. >> i went back and talked to the jury. and they said, "well, you know what we think? we think something just went on up there that got out of hand." >> reporter: the judge had a lot of latitude in imposing her sentence.
