Watch "Defending Your Life" and then catch up with "48 Hours" correspondent Peter Van Sant, who sat across from Jones as he professed his innocence. Then, join Van Sant on "Killer Conversation" for more on why the jurors convicted Jones, and other revealing exchanges between a highly skilled interviewer and a man convicted of killing the mother of his three children. The conversations still haunt Van Sant to this day. #crime #truecrime #murdermystery What’s it like to sit across from a killer and ask the questions no one else can? "48 Hours" producer Judy Rybak sits down with correspondents Erin Moriarty and Peter Van Sant for revealing conversations about how the criminal mind works. Crime. Social justice. Impact.

Three juries have found him guilty, and I frankly found his smug smile through the course of the case infuriating. His children have been conditioned to believe his lies, I'm sad for them.

The explanation of the husband is absolutely LUDICROUS. How are the daughters that gullible???

Nothing worse than a murderer blaming an innocent person for their crime. The lowest of the low. All of us will stand in front of almighty God one day and answer for our actions. No one gets away with anything forever

His smarmy smile, and crying with no tears makes me uneasy

He is guilty. I’m only 17 minutes into this and I’m convinced he’s guilty. Eventually everything comes to the light. Hallelujah

Whenever they represent themselves, they might as wellp write guilty on their forehead. They have the delusion that they can lie their way out of it still. He's got the crazy eyes too.

A man who represents himself has a fool for a client.
