This undated image provided by the law firm Bamieh & Erickson, PLC on Feb. 16, 2010 shows Dave and Jane Laut. Dave Laut was the idyllic local boy who did his hometown and nation proud when he scored a bronze medal in shot-put at the 1984 Summer Olympics.

In recent days, however, a darker portrait has emerged: His wife was charged with his murder and her lawyer claims it was to protect herself after abuse. (AP Photo/Bamieh & Erickson, PLC)
