[102] It was alleged that after an innocent night out for drinks with friends, Karen and John got into a lover's quarrel en route to the next location.

[103] What happens next?

[104] Depends on who you ask.

[105] Was it a crime of first?

[106] passion?

[107] If you believe the prosecution, it's because the evidence was so compelling.

[108] This was clearly an intentional act.

[109] And his cause of death was blunt force trauma with hypothermia.

[110] Or a corrupt police cover -up.

[111] If you believe the defense theory, however, this was all a cover -up to prevent one of their own from going down.

[112] Everyone had an opinion.

[113] And after the 10 -week trial, the jury could not come to a unanimous decision.

[114] To end in a mistrial, it's just a confirmation of just how complicated this case is.
