On what grounds?

So it's a speedy trial violation.

A lot of people are probably familiar with the fact that you have a right to a speedy trial, but most probably aren't familiar with how that actually works.

The defense argued that now too much time had passed since she was first charged, a delay that violated her rights.

And so you're saying that because that felon was on the juror, that was thrown out.

And it's almost like saying a trial never happened in the first place.

It's exactly like saying that.

And so now you're starting the clock from back in 2014 when she was first charged.

Exactly.

The judge agreed the delay was unfair to Susan.

It was a critical decision that meant she would not face another trial.

All charges against her were dropped.

It wasn't long after that ruling when we sat down with Susan.

We've talked about you walking out of prison.

You're out now on a technicality.

What would you say to people who look at you and say, she got away with murder?

What would I say?

What would you say to those people?

Susan's family members were not her only supporters.

Her ex-husband, Glenn Melton, also stood by her.
