So let's just start off by talking about the reaction in the courtroom when that mistrial was finally declared.
All right, Rachel.
So we really just need to break down how we got here and the two cases that were presented to the jury.
Listeners to this podcast will remember that all throughout the trial, it was the prosecution's case that Lindsay Clancy was able to make decisions throughout the time that she killed her children and that she was aware and in control of her actions.
