It’s been two years since Aussie brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their friend, American Jack Carter Rhoad, were killed on a surfing trip in Mexico. This week, their parents sat metres from the men accused of these murders, with a trial finally underway in the city of Ensenada. It was a dramatic start to proceedings with witness intimidation claims and a judge swap, and in today’s deep dive, we’ll unpack it all.

Headlines: Govt announces social media algorithm opt-out

After many weeks, there’s finally a conclusion in the Lindsay Clancy trial. But the conclusion is that… there is no conclusion. 

On Friday, local time, a mistrial was declared, after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision. And with that, the whole thing was over. At least for now. 

So, what happens next for Lindsay Clancy? And will she face another trial?

We’ll tell you what you need to know in today’s podcast.
