You know, it's just this idea, Scott, of the jury being locked. And so often it can just take one or more jurors that decide to go off on their own brain space. And that's it. Because if all 12 can't agree, it's game over in the sense that you're going to have a mistrial, which just is super frustrating for prosecutors, law enforcement, and more importantly, families that want resolve.
But really, the recourse is just you got to do it all over again because that is what justice requires. And so that's what we do.
As you can imagine, the mistrial was also painful for Jamal's family, who had not just lost a son and a father, but had been denied that close to a court case and justice for Jamal that they had hoped a guilty verdict would provide.
And while prosecutors presented much of the same evidence, the second trial did not come off without a hitch. After agreeing to testify against her boyfriend, Gayle suddenly changed her tune.
At the conclusion of the trial, a jury found Ivan Semyoya guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
But it was a mistake that Paul owned, and it did not impact the ultimate just outcome of this case.
It's a weight felt by both investigators and prosecutors alike, but one gladly born to lessen the burden on those victims and survivors for whom they seek justice.
Jamal Drummond. The senselessness of his murder is made all the more infuriating because it came down to nothing more than wrong place, wrong time. Samayoi came looking for his girlfriend, what sounded to be a twisted relationship to say the very least. And his infatuation or need for control, need to find her and being unable to do so,
made him lash out in the most brutal of ways against a complete stranger. Misplaced aggression coupled with a gun. Devastating consequences. Jamal was there for a party. He should have gone on to attend many more parties, live countless more days amongst the friends and family he loved and loved him back. Tune in next week for another new episode of Anatomy of Murder.

I'm Anastasia Nicolazzi, former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of Investigation Discovery's True Conviction.
There were over 19,000 homicides reported in the United States in the last year alone. But it doesn't take a true crime fan to tell you that some crimes or their sensational trials capture the public's attention more than others.
But even when a case sometimes starts to feel like a runaway freight train, with everyone from cable news to internet sleuths chiming in with an opinion, it is critical that those members of law enforcement and prosecutors stay focused on the facts, the evidence, and ultimately, hopefully, the truth.
It's also the seat of Clark County, where in 2021, a rookie prosecutor named Kristen Arno teamed up with veteran Colin Hayes to handle a case that not only captured worldwide attention, but that has had a lasting impact on their state's legal system.
In 2020, Nikki Kuhnhausen was a 17-year-old high school student who had a passion for makeup and hairstyling and dreamed of one day becoming a makeup artist.
And with all that change, one thing Nikki could always rely on was herself. So when she transitioned in high school and began living as a transgender woman, she did so with confidence and flair.
So naturally, when Nikki's social media feeds went quiet on June of 2019, her mom had a feeling that something was not quite right.
By that time, Nikki had made a habit of staying with friends more than either of her parents. But now Lisa couldn't find any friends who knew where Nikki was.
The Digital Evidence Crimes Unit is equipped to use a person's digital footprint, whether it's their phone, computer, or even social media, to track a person's location. Unfortunately, according to friends, Nikki had lost her phone somewhere in Portland a couple of days before she went missing. So unfortunately, the unit couldn't access the wealth of information that a cell phone can provide.
