Byron Smith lived like a hermit in his small Minnesota town and often worried about a spate of break-ins at his home. One Thanksgiving, he skipped dinner with a neighbor and stayed home to keep watch. Instead, the night ended with two teens dead. Luckily for prosecutors, the entire encounter was recorded on Byron’s surveillance system.
