Dateline NBC profiled a case they titled A Deadly Triangle Saturday. Did you see it?

It is the case about married couple Eric and Erin McLean. Erin, a teacher, started dating a former student of hers, Sean Powell, and in the end Eric ended up killing Sean.

Eric always maintained it was an accident, but Erin resorted to calling Eric a psycho. She told police he threatened to kill her or himself, but she didn’t think he would really do it.

It was a true mystery indeed.

When I watched Eric talk, I believed him. I trusted what he said to be true. His grief was genuine, intense and real. His story was logical.

Eric was tried for first degree murder but the jury only convicted him with reckless homicide. His sentence, which will be given in November, could be as light as time-served (6 weeks) plus probation. I believe justice was served in this case.

At this time, Erin McLean is on the run with their children.
