The indictment against Dr. Michael McKee alleges he used a firearm equipped with a suppressor to kill Monique and Spencer Tepe while their children slept in another room. That's not a crime of passion. That's allegedly planning the murders down to making sure no one would hear the shots.

Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down both the prosecution's case and the defense's options. Prosecutors have surveillance footage, a ballistics match, and an alleged suppressor. But they haven't explained how McKee entered the home with no forced entry. There's no disclosed motive. No documented conflict in the years since the divorce. McKee gave police an alibi before arrest that didn't hold up.

If you're the defense, the holes are where reasonable doubt lives. McKee is a surgeon — intelligent, educated, trained in precision. If he allegedly planned premeditated murder, why would he keep the murder weapon in his own apartment?

Motta also analyzes the Aaron Spencer case for comparison. Spencer is on trial for killing Michael Fosler — a 67-year-old man facing 43 felony charges for alleged crimes against Spencer's 13-year-old daughter. Spencer found his daughter in Fosler's truck at 1 AM and killed him with 16 shots. Prosecutors say it was premeditated. Under Arkansas law, justification is something the prosecution must disprove beyond a reasonable doubt.

Two cases with different facts. Two legal standards. And the question both juries must answer: was deadly force justified?
