Hi everyone - David Ketterling here. I was one of the producers of tonight’s episode. Tonight’s episode is years in the making and takes us to beautiful Palm Springs, CA. #Dateline

During deliberations, some jurors later told #Dateline, members of the panel felt paralyzed over having to render a verdict that could separate a grandmother from grandchildren already suffering from the loss of their beloved grandfather.

In addition to John and Nancy Farris, Gary’s other siblings, Patricia and Sherry, and client-turned-close-friend Mike Tillman visited the courtroom. #Dateline

Sgt. Ashley Pope told #Dateline he believes that Rusty deliberately stashed his phone in his truck prior to the interview so police could not check the device.

Before the interview with Rusty, it was agreed that Det. Daniel Hayes would play “good cop” to Ashley Pope’s “bad cop.” #Dateline
