Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te wā i patu ai a Billy Flynn, 16 tau te pakeke, i te tahu o tana kaiako kura tuarua, o tana hoa aroha hoki, a Pamela Smart, i te tau 1990, ka noho tonu te whakawakanga hei kaupapa nui i roto i nga niupepa. Ko ngā taipitopito whakamataku o taua mea i whakaatahia i runga i te pouaka whakaata i ngā tau i mua i te whakaaturanga o O.J. Simpson, ā, i puta ai ngā pikitia me ngā pukapuka. E rua tekau mā rima tau i muri i te whakamomori o Gregg Smart, kei te noho tonu a Pamela Smart i roto i te whare herehere e mahi ana i te oranga, kaore he tupono o te whakawātea, a, ka tukuna e Flynn tana tono tuatahi mo te whakawātea i te Rāhoroi, i tana huritau 41. I whakaae a Flynn he hara ia mo te kohuru tuarua, a, i whakaatu ia i te whakawa a Smart i te tau 1991 i whakawehi ia ki te wehe atu i a ia ki te kore ia e patu i tana tahu. I whiua a Flynn ki te 28 tau ki te oranga i roto i te whare herehere, me te kore utu mo te herehere i mua i te whakawakanga. Anei ētahi kōrero matua o te take: Kaiako: I whakawakia a Pamela Smart (i kitea i roto i tenei whakaahua o te tau 1991) mo te whakatikatika me tana hoa aroha 15-tau-tau, a William 'Billy' Flynn, ki te patu i tana tahu 24-tau-tau, a Greggory Smart. E noho ana a Smart i te here o te oranga me te kore e taea te whakawātea. Mātauranga: I tēnei whakaahua o te tau 1991, ka whakaatu a William Flynn i tōna rā whānau 17 o te tau, me pēhea tana patu i a Greggory Smart ki te mahunga, ā, ka whakamatea ia. I whakaae a Flynn he hara ia mo te patu i a Smart, ā, kua whakaritea tana rerenga whakamutu mō te Rāhoroi. Ko te kaupapa. E ai ki te whakaaturanga whakawa, e 22 nga tau o Smart, ā, ko ia tētahi o ngā kaiako o Flynn i tētahi hōtaka mōhiotanga-whaiaro i Winnicunnet High School i Hampton i a ia e whakapohehe ana i a Flynn, he 15 tau te pakeke. I kii ia ki a ia me whakamate tana tane na te mea e wehi ana ka ngaro nga mea katoa, tae atu ki tana kuri me ona taonga, mena ka wehe ia i a Gregg Smart i te wa e tata ana te tau marena. I kii a Flynn ko ia me nga hoa tokotoru i ngana ki te patu i a Smart i te Paenga-whāwhā, i te mea i ngaro ratou i te huarahi ki reira. Engari i te 1 o Mei, 1990, ka uru atu ia me Patrick Randall, 18 tau te pakeke, ki te whare noho a Smarts i Derry, a ka akiaki i a Gregory Smart ki te turi ki te whare noho. I a Randall e mau ana i te maripi ki te kaki o te tangata, ka pupuhi a Flynn i te pupuhi o te upoko ki tona matenga. Tae mai ki tēnei rā, e whakakahore ana a Pamela Smart, kāore ia i te mōhio ki te kaupapa. Engari ko te whetū o te kāwanatanga...
He kaiako kura tuarua a Pamela Smart, 22 ona tau, i a ia e whakapohehe ana i a Billy Flynn, 15 ona tau, e ai ki te whakaaturanga whakawa. I kii ia ki a Flynn e hiahia ana ia kia mate tana tahu na te mea i mataku ia ka ngaro nga mea katoa mena ka tono ia mo te wehenga. I te 1 o Mei, 1990 ka uru a Flynn rāua ko Patrick Randall, 18 tau te pakeke, ki te whare noho a ngā Smart, ā, ka akiaki i a Gregory Smart ki te turi. I mau a Randall i te maripi ki te kaki o te tangata i te wa i pupuhi ai a Flynn i te pupuhi o te upoko o Smart. I whakaae a Flynn he hara ia mo te kohurutanga tuarua, ā, i whakaatu ia i te whakawa a Smart i te tau 1991 e whakawehi ana ia ki te wehe i a ia mēnā kāore ia i patu i tana tāne. I whiua a Flynn ki te 28 tau ki te whare herehere mo te oranga, me te kore utu mo te herehere i mua i te whakawakanga. I marenatia ia i a ia e noho ana i muri i te whare herehere, he tamahine tāne tana, ā, kua whiwhi ia i tana GED me tana raihana kaiāwhina hiko. Kua whakaritea te whakarongo ki a Flynn mō te Rāhoroi.
