Pamela and Gregg Smart appeared to be a loving couple with an idyllic life in the small, peaceful town of Derry, New Hampshire. But one year after getting married, Pamela found Gregg dead in the home they shared. “20/20” reports on the love story that took a sharp, dark turn into a tale of betrayal, sex, power and murder. The two-hour program details the series of events that quickly connected the dots for authorities, allowing them to make several arrests; charges against Pamela, including being an accomplice to first-degree murder, and against others; her trial, the first murder trial in U.S. history to be broadcast on television gavel-to-gavel; and her sentence of life in prison without parole. Even as she approaches three decades in prison, Pamela continues to maintain her innocence.
