10:25 the police quickly mobilized unsure of what awaited them at the scene was this a random drive by shooting a drug deal gone wrong a robbery or something else entirely they had no idea what to expect as they cautiously approached the scene when the first officer stepped out of the patrol car his eyes were met with a chilling sight a man lay lifeless on the ground a second person still alive but wounded grasping his head in pain was there as well the injured man was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound leaving the police with more questions than answers amidst the chaos there was one woman who police wanted to speak with her name is Candi Hall and she was present at the crime scene Candi identified them men at the hospital as her husband Rob and the man dead on the ground as her boss EMT EMT had been shot twice in the head and chest not long after EMT was found dead at the Walgreens parking lot Ashley his wife

11:27 was woken up to Knocking On her front door when Ashley answered to the door she saw police officers outside who told her that her husband EMT was dead he had been shot and didn't make it Ashley was stunned and unconsolable and had no idea what could have happened that led to this after the police told Ashley her husband had been killed a detective asked her if she knew who rob and Candy Hall were Ashley said she knew Candi was emt's assistant but suspected she and EMT had been having an Affair candy Hall was taken to the police department from the Walgreens parking lot and questioned by the detectives who were trying to get a clear picture of what went down that led to EMT being killed and Rob being shot in the head the detectives asked candy if she and her boss EMT had a relationship but she said no when asked if they ever had intercourse candy adamantly denied it according to Candi she had driven to Walgreens that night

12:28 to pick up a prescrip Des rtion Candi explained that she and EMT had a coincidental meeting in the store and they decided to go for a drive in emt's car as they drove to a gas station candi's phone rang it was Rob her estranged husband Candi informed Rob that she was out with EMT however the conversation took a dark turn when Rob expressed his jealousy and threatened to shatter emt's head open finally after what felt like an eternity candy and EMT arrived at Walgreens as they stepped out of the car Candy's heart sank as she saw Rob standing at the entrance his anger clearly visible on his face a heated argument ensued and a physical fight between Rob and EMT erupted suddenly Candi heard three sharp pops she turned to see both men lying on the ground candy spotted the gun lying on the ground and picked it up and tossed it aside when the detectives asked candy who fired the first shots robber EMT she

13:31 said she had no idea the gunshot wound to Rob Hall's head was superficial after the doctor stitched him up the detectives went to question him during the detectives interview with Rob they told him they found a gun at the crime scene and asked him who had belonged to Rob admitted the gun was his and said he and EM had gone into a fight in the Walgreen's parking lot and at one point the gun fell from his pocket once the gun was on the ground Rob alleged that EMT do for it and then a struggle for the weapon started and EMT shot him in the head he said he didn't know who shot EMT during the fight for the gun because Rob had a head wound from The Gunshot the detectives were not surprised he couldn't remember much however the detectives found themselves questioning if EMT was the one who shot first considering he ended up dead since the shooting had taken place in the Walgreens parking lot the detectives

14:27 turned to the security footage for answers while reviewing the footage the detectives noticed Rob Hall arriving in the parking lot and 9:55 p.m. 1 minute later Rob was seen entering the Walgreens store and rushing through each aisle seemingly searching for someone the security footage captured Rob exiting the Walgreens at 10:06 p.m. and parking his car in a spot beside candies he proceeded to wait there for the next few minutes approximately 10 minutes later emt's truck appeared on the footage as it pulled into the parking lot however the shooting was not caught on camera candy emt's assistant initially denied being in a romantic relationship with her boss however The Whispers among their co-workers suggested otherwise according to their co-workers candy and Rob were seen spending a lot of time in his office with the door closed a mere 3 weeks after she was hired on the EMT was shot detectives stumbled upon a curious

15:32 Discovery EMT had accompanied a candy to the public defender office to discuss divorcing rob during their investigation into the murder of EMT aoran the crime scene investigators conducted a search of emt's vehicle in the parking lot and discovered its steroids in the glove compartment many of emt's loved ones were not surprised by this discovery because EMT had been heavily focused on bodybuilding and his behavior was different some of them believed that he was using steroids when candy gave her statement to the detectives she described a peculiar shot Cadence that led them to believe that Rob shot and killed EMT two times before turning the gun around and shooting himself in the head this evidence was sufficient for the detectives to obtain an arrest warrant for Rob Hall charging him with first degree murder Rob Hall was subsequently arrested and charged with the murder of emed Corgan the

16:30 consequences of Rob Hall's actions were severe if convicted of first-degree murder he faced either life in prison without parole or the death penalty when it came time for Rob Hall to stand a trial for the murder of EMT Ashley emt's wife hoped that the trial would bring some closure to her grieving process Ashley believed that obtaining answers about her husband's Affair in death would provide a sense of closure prosecutors alleged that Rob was angry at EMT for having an affair with Rob's wife Candi and blamed emmt for running his marriage into the ground according to the prosecution Rob shot EMT and then decided to take his own life however Rob Hall's defense told a different story Rob's attorneys claimed that EMT was the aggressor on the night he died they alleged that EMT had a history of steroid abuse and somehow during the altercation EMT got hold of rah's gun and shot Rob before Rob regained

17:31 possession of the weapon and killed EMT in self-defense one of the key Witnesses in Rob Hall's trial was his wife candy Hall Ci's testimony during her husband's trial slightly differed from the account she gave to the police on the night EMT was killed while on the witness stand candy claimed that instead of hearing two gunshots in quick succession followed by another she heard a PP then two more fast pops this new version of events favored the defense's argument that EMT shot Rob Hall first before Rob got the gun back and shot EMT two times killing him the prosecutors needed to convince the jury that Rob in not EMT was the shooter in the Walgreens parking lot to support this Theory the presented forensic evidence alleging that the type of weapon used to kill EMT and wound Rob accumulates a significant amount of gunshot residue GSR after it has been fired following the shooting investigators performed a gunshot

18:37 residue test on Rob and EMT the results of the test showed that Rob's left palm contained 32 GSR particles while his right palm had 23 particles on the other hand EMT had one GSR particle on his left hand and zero on his right these test results indicated Beyond shadow of a doubt that Rob was the one who fired the gun three times EMT never had possession of the weapon according to the forensic evidence after careful consideration the Jerry found ROM Paul not guilty of first-degree murder however they did reach a unanimous decision that he was guilty of second degree murder this determination meant that the murder was not premeditated the judge presiding over the case sentenced Rob to 30 years in prison Rob will be eligible for parole in 2028 when he is 58 years old despite the conviction Rob has maintained his innocence and appealed his conviction in 2021 Rob Hall's conviction was reaffirmed by the Idaho Supreme Court
