Lester Holt

Susan's retrial began this past December, only for that to hit a roadblock too.

Just days into the proceedings, the judge declared a mistrial.

We'll get into why in a moment.

This week, more than 10 years since her husband's death, Susan is standing trial for a third time.

She steadfastly maintains her innocence.

Did you do what you're accused of doing?

No, I did not.

Dateline producer Marissa Meyer is joining us to tell us what might be different this time around.

Hi, Marissa.

Hi, Lester.

So, Marissa, let's start with what you've learned about the relationship at the heart of it all.

How did Susan and Jake Embert meet?

So Susan and Jake met online in 2012 after Jake's divorce from his first wife.

His family told us that Jake fell for Susan fast.

The two got married in March 2013, sort of secretly.

The family expected that there would be, you know, a wedding, but instead the couple just went to City Hall.

So tell me more about the shooting of Jake Ember.

What do we know about that?

According to responding officers, they arrived to find Jake's body half lying on the bed with a handgun in his right hand and a gunshot wound to the head.

So the coroner came to the scene, too.
