Usually there's a more clear-cut finish or ending to the story. In this case, he was acquitted. And I think the reason is because, again, jurors found reasonable doubt. Consultant Lisa Andrews again told us this all came down to the prosecution not proving their case in court. They didn't have enough evidence. And, you know, the jury paid attention. They did their jobs.

They couldn't connect the dots in this case.

And it's interesting. I did. I did ask him, too, about that, because his training, you would think, is something that also would kick in that when you see somebody pointing a gun at you as a officer, you know, law enforcement, you're trained to deescalate the situation. I asked him about that when he said his training kicked in because he saw her finger was right on the trigger.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

1117.037

And he knew he had to get the gun out of her fingers because he knew that if there was any sort of pressure on that trigger, it would go off. And in fact, that's what happened.

1151.499

Yeah. You know, it's always heartbreaking when you cover these stories. In this case, though, looking at Petrina, that's Patricia's daughter, and she looks just like her mother. I mean, they look like they could have been sisters, right? And they had such a close bond, such a close relationship. And Petrina talked about how much hope Patricia had when she married Renard.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

1176.846

Renard was her first true love, her first marriage, her first house that they bought together. I mean, she viewed this as sort of her happily ever after. So it's just such a senseless tragedy. And, and Petrina said she had not cried. And, and in the middle of doing the interview with us, she started to cry and she was like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I'm crying.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

1200.116

I think it was sort of cathartic for her, you know, having the resolution, even though it didn't go the way she thought it would go. She at least was sort of dealing with the emotions finally.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

1258.478

How is Renard doing today? Trying to pick up the pieces of his life, too. As we said, he's mourning the loss of Patricia as well. He still says she was the love of his life. He's spending a lot of time with his grandkids, doing a lot with his church within his community. Renard is trying to turn what was a horrible tragedy now into doing positive work.

And he's volunteering most weekends for an organization called that is near and dear to him called Hoodies of Healing. It's an organization that helps to feed the homeless. And so he's very involved with that.

Thanks, Anne-Marie. Thank you.

That's our job to do that, to present both sides of the story. I think what the challenge was for the authorities was to figure out who the real aggressor was in this situation, who had the finger on the trigger when the gun went off. And that camera, by the way, right over the refrigerator, that's because... Patricia Spivey's father was living with them and he has onset dementia.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

166.028

So therefore, they always had the camera rolling just to keep track. His room was not far off from the kitchen. So that's why that camera was specifically placed there. But that footage gave us sort of a window into the the moments leading up to what happened that night. And again, it comes down to we know when things happen because you even hear the shots based on that security footage.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

191.904

But what we don't know is how that happened and who really had their finger on the trigger in those moments.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

248.649

Well, you know, what Renard told us, because he did agree to an interview, you know, after he was acquitted, he thought that night there had been some tension building in the relationship.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

260.173

And also on that security footage, you can hear it sounds like at one point where Patricia, before she went to bed, you hear in the background, Patricia said over and over again as if she's upset with him about something. but we don't know what exactly. And so in that time, something happened. Renard said,

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

286.434

He picked up her phone after she went to bed from her bed stand, went to the closet, looked at the phone, and that's when she confronted him, he says, with the gun at the front of the closet. And that's when he got very nervous because he knew it was fully charged and it doesn't have a safety mechanism on it. And if the finger is on the trigger, it can go off.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

314.926

So that's when he said he tussled with her to get control of the gun and the shots went off.

48 Hours

398.075

Yeah. System disarmed. Ready to arm. All right. All right.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

414.598

Sir, we need to get back to your wife to continue the compressions. All right, ma'am. I mean, did he explain that? So, Ann Marie, yes, the operator is asking on the 911 call if he is in the bedroom. But he replies with yes, even though we see in the security footage from their kitchen that he is now walking to the garage. And he said it was to open the door for the first responders.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

447.17

So he's now removed himself from doing CPR on Patricia at that moment. And he didn't tell the operator that at the time. And it's important to remember, he himself had been shot in the leg. So we know that at that point, there was some trauma. And so he is giving her CPR. And he said... He felt he needed to go open the garage door to allow the first responders to enter.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

478.065

So that's how he explained it to us. He was like, I did what I thought I needed to do to best get the help that she would need.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

507.93

seems to carry the burden of what happened on that night and, you know, that he feels her loss. I mean, he says to this day he still loves Patricia very deeply. And I think what, you know, is most troubling for him is knowing that it was his gun that was charged and on the nightstand that ultimately led to this tragic death. he did want to talk. He wanted to tell us his side of the story.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

535.478

And he wanted to, you know, I guess somewhat clear his name because with a lot of these cases, this happened right before COVID and COVID interrupted the legal process. So this case was put on hold for four years. So in the public eye, he was looked at perhaps as being guilty, even though he hadn't had his day in court yet. And he was eventually acquitted.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

54.913

Yes. And we're just a couple of towns over from the Palisades fire and all around me, a lot of people have lost a lot. So my thoughts are with them. If, you know, there are also some technical difficulties as well in recording this because with winds the way we've had them for the last couple of days, if I freeze every now and again, I apologize. Right.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

634.675

It seems like a basic... necessity when it comes to figuring out whose finger was on the trigger. But it was his former service weapon. It was always right by the bed, charged, which in itself is the problem here. You know, this was a Smith & Wesson service gun, and the design of it, it doesn't have the typical safety mechanisms.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

659.034

And defense attorney Dick DeGaran showed us how it could go off over and over again because it automatically recharges. Which, you know, is so scary when you think about that. But again, we don't know. The defense argued that the state never proved whose hand again was on the trigger. So that really came down to being crucial at trial and presented reasonable doubt for the jury.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

690.811

which I thought was surprising. Right. We poured over the medical examiner's report with CBS News consultant Lisa Andrews. She looked it all over for us. That was key to this case. And the medical examiner's report ruled it was a homicide. But what was unclear was the number of, you know, entry and exit wounds. They couldn't determine the amount of shots fired. Was it two shots?

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

74.337

And you might hear the dogs barking in the background. And the dogs barking because there are a lot of people in the neighborhood making sure things are okay.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

742.987

Dick DeGaran showed us with the actual weapon, that Smith & Wesson revolver, he reenacted what Renard told him happened on that night and the trajectory of the bullets. He kind of did this whole demonstration with me showing how they fought over the gun, how he was holding her arm, and the way the trajectory of the bullet would have entered her arm into her side and then hit her chest.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

771.529

Also, the defense said, The number of shots really didn't disprove that it was an accident, given that this is a gun that is charged and can continually be fired and keep going. The prosecution, though, was arguing that it's hard to believe that multiple shots are fired, that it is an accident.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

790.914

One more thing, though, what was interesting, what you mentioned in the hour, is there was a fourth sound as well on the surveillance footage. It was unclear if it was another shot. The question, according to the state, was could it have possibly been Renard shooting his leg at that time, a fourth shot. But there was no proof of that. And the sound was so indistinct.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

948.112

The daughter talked about how Renard seemed to be controlling. Also, Patricia's cousin, Sybil Shepherd, who she was very close with, talked about Renard's alleged controlling behavior. Patricia had this annual cruise that she would do with Sybil. And after a time, Sybil said it became increasingly more difficult because Renard was always checking on them and just controlling and not letting them

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

976.108

have their fun. And Renard denied that. You know, he said, I let her go on the cruise. I let her, you know, she went on multiple cruises after we got married. So he denied any controlling behavior. Also, in regards to the steroid use, I asked Renard point blank, were you using steroids or were you using anything that altered your moods? We hear so much about rage.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | TV Bailiff Spivey on Trial

999.839

And he said he went to a doctor to treat low testosterone. He was prescribed pills and shots that he wasn't on steroids. So he denied that.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

1003.115

So how is Justine's family doing today? I mean, they're incredibly brave. And I would say the Vander Schutts are among the strongest family I've met because they are taking what is such a horrific loss and their pain, and they're turning it into something positive and good. They have, along with the prosecutor's office, enacted Justine's law to help

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

Now, what was really intriguing about this is that, you know, had he not been eight or 10 feet above ground on a horse, he probably might not have seen that. But I loved being able to do the interview on horseback because, you know, that's how he saw it. And it also provided for us a A little bit of a different element and a way into this investigation than we normally do.

48 Hours

educate teens in high schools across the state of California on teen dating violence, which unfortunately is becoming more prevalent, as we know, with social media. They're really trying to turn the page on something that was so tragic in their lives and really doing something powerful with it instead and really hopefully making an impact in a positive way to remember their daughter.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

1100.086

We're all parents of teenagers, tweenagers even here. And, you know, you have daughters. I have a son who's 16 and an older son as well. And it is something that, you know, you don't necessarily really think about, you know, them getting into a toxic relationship like this that could lead to something so horrific. But there are telltale signs and there are red flags.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

1124.452

And in hindsight, Justine's family, they're trying to point those out because there were signs of controlling behavior.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

192.15

Yes. Oh, my gosh. The horses are incredible creatures. They are... I think both of them were wild mustangs that had been, you know, tamed or broken. And the horse that Matt Scribner was riding, his name was Astro. And they were so... amazing to be on, but also so relaxed and chill, surprisingly, given that we had camera crews all around them.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

218.948

And also we use drones and we were a little concerned using the drones because, I don't know if you know this, but when they round up wild Mustangs, they fly helicopters over them. And so there was some concern that That the drone and that sound that they make, you know, that buzzing noise might freak the horses out a little bit. Thankfully, you know, we kept the drones far away from them.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

244.583

The horses seemed to be pretty fine with it. And so we got the footage that we needed and we were able to do the interview and it all came out great. Yeah.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

373.444

Yeah, they were very close friends. They lived together, as you said. And according to investigators, there was some history there with Brandon not liking Justine. And also, according to Christine, Justine's sister, Justine had believed that Brandon had been cheating on his girlfriends in the past, so she didn't like him either.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

394.277

So, you know, there definitely was this tense and toxic relationship in this sort of between Danny and Brandon and Justine being the one in the middle. According to Danny's testimony, he, at one point, was so heartbroken because he believed that Justine was cheating on him, he was thinking of taking his own life. But Brandon said, why kill yourself? Why don't you kill her instead?

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

426.148

So that's sort of where this...

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

592.628

Wow. As you heard there, Brandon sort of casting himself as a hero. The prosecution felt this was sort of a telling reaction because if Brandon was truly so fearful of Danny that he felt powerless to be able to stop him or to go for help, he should have cast himself as the victim in the letter. And his narrative was sort of like, I'm the avenger in her death, right?

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

618.713

And, you know, I'm going to do right by you. But yet he was witnessing her take her last breaths. He did nothing to stop that from happening. Absolutely.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

633.103

Yeah, Jeff Reinach, I mean, he is a skilled interrogator. And he told us that he usually has people write a letter to to the victims at the end or to their families. And so this is sort of part of his strategy, I guess, in a way to maybe see what they reveal, you know, in writing.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

652.125

And he said that, you know, it was almost as if he was trying to rewrite, as if Brandon was trying to rewrite his role in what happened.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

694.995

The Vandershoots did everything to include Danny. He had a key to the house. He was welcomed into their home whenever he wanted to come in. Don gave him a job at the Mercedes-Benz dealership where he worked. So he hooked him up.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

777.264

It is absolutely chilling. It's chilling. It is chilling. And I said to Guyane, like, I kept looking at his eyes, trying to read his body language, trying to get a sense of, you know, Where was his mindset? Like, what was he possibly thinking, being able to do that, go in front of the media the way he was, holding up her picture and saying, I did everything for that girl.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

803.294

And let's not forget, he had dinner with the Vandershoots on the night that he was planning to then take their daughter into that forested area and kill her. The level of... of depravity and sickness is just so outrageous.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

82.756

Yes, yeah, absolutely. And Matt Scribner, you know, he was key to the testimony in this case by giving investigators that timeline of when he saw this freshly dug hole and then saying, going back later and then seeing a mattress in debris covering that hole.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

957.324

I mean, he's serving a life sentence now. He wanted his life sentence. thrown out and to be resentenced as what they call an accessory after the fact. So basically saying, you know, I didn't mean to do this. I didn't take part in it. I just was there and it happened. Right.

48 Hours

Post Mortem | Justine’s Voice

984.536

Seven times in seven years, they've been to court. You know, they took a plea deal because they thought that would be the easiest way to not have to relive the horrific details of their daughter's murder. And yet now they're having to do that over and over again.

48 Hours

1018.765

Also, in regards to the steroid use, I asked Renard point blank, were you using steroids or were you using anything that altered your moods? We hear so much about roid rage.
