We're going to do it again.

Well, there's really three options here.

Obviously, he could just drop the whole case and not retry it, which we think there's really no chance of that.

And then I think you just mentioned the two other things.

He can either retry it again.

Or he can reach out to the defense and say, look, can we, we'll both compromise when we meet somewhere in the middle and work out a deal and not have to go through another trial.

And it's really, I can't get in the mind of the DA, Tim Cruz, at this time, because I will say that even though as you were just, as both of us were just saying, the public is kind of, or the observers are kind of divided on this.

If the numbers are somewhere between 60 and 80, is that something that generally someone in a position of a DA's office in Massachusetts will take into consideration? Or is it just, listen, this is what I believe in, and I'm not going to change?

As a criminal defense attorney, and I'm talking about the Commonwealth right now, actually, but I mean, as an attorney in the courtroom, how cognizant do you have to be of potentially losing the jury with these witnesses, particularly one who are psychiatrists and drone on a little bit? And do they have to go through every exhibit, Peter?

First of all, I've yeah, I always thought that worked against you.

You drone on and on and get repetitious.

The jury has been there for weeks now and they really would like to see things move along.

I mean, you do have an obligation to present all the evidence.

But if a jury sees, for example, there are some lawyers who will cross examine somebody immediately.

For with like 10 questions and another saying another lawyer will cross examine that same person for three or four hours.

What happens then?

Protein for all.

Oh, wow.

I'll jump out on a limb here.

My sense is that it wouldn't be all that different.

Yeah, Andrea Yates drowning the children in the bathtub and this thing about strangling kids.

These were just probably the most terrifying, scary kind of violent deaths.

But I think... any person who was being charged with murdering their own children, I think that the juries would, I think the issues would still be somewhat the same.

Just your thoughts on him doing this almost single-handedly.

Would it be a different story if she would have overdosed them? Would this be, do you think, an easier job? for kevin reddington if it wasn't such a violent death um if it was more i don't know if you can even say this a more benign method because at the end you're dying but if she was to give them medication and they died would it be easier do you think to make the case okay be easy on this woman

oh wow i uh I'll jump out on a limb here.

My sense is that it wouldn't be all that different.

Yeah.

The Andrea Yates drowning the children in the bathtub and this thing about strangling kids.

These were just the probably most terrifying, scary kind of violent deaths.

But I think.
