Lester Holt

Can you explain what happened there?

Given the judge's ruling, anything that had to do with the tox report, any mention of the word antifreeze or other poisons allegedly found in Jake's hair sample was not supposed to be mentioned at all.

But about an hour into his testimony, the coroner said the word antifreeze.

Our team said you could hear people gasp in the courtroom, and Susan's defense team immediately jumped on the coroner's slip-up, and they asked for a mistrial, and the judge agreed, and that brings us to where we are now.

So, a lot to catch up on here.

Trial three is now underway.

There is a new prosecutor in the case, and poison wasn't even mentioned in opening statements.

Is there anything else different this time around?

So, one of the biggest things so far is that the prosecution plans to call a new witness who is an expert in shooting reconstruction.

And, you know, all these twists and turns, though, they must be really, really hard on the family.

Any idea how they're getting through this?

I mean, this has been incredibly difficult on them, but they remain deeply committed to their father and what they say is their mission of finding justice for him.

Thanks, Marissa.

A fascinating case.

We'll certainly be checking back with you.

Thanks, Lester.
