Summary

The defense team believed that raising the story of Lisa's affair and the mishandling of police work would give jurors reasonable doubt about the investigation, which fell right into their theme of a botched investigation and rush to judgment against Seth. Testimony streamlined by both sides took half the time of previous trials, leading to a cloud of even more reasonable doubt for Todd Caldwell, one of the holdout jurors, and more questions left unanswered regarding the victim's wife, Lisa, who was called to the stand during the third trial.
