According to testimony, a friend of Flynn's held a knife to Smart's throat, and Flynn — after asking God for forgiveness — fired a .38-caliber revolver. Pamela Smart was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, being an accomplice to first-degree murder and witness tampering. The case was tabloid fodder and led to books and movies, including the 1995 film "To Die For," which starred Kidman as a television personality who enlists three teens to kill her husband.
