The Northwestern District Attorney's office is promising the Cara Rintala murder case will be tried again as soon as possible. A mistrial was declared Wednesday after the jury told judge Mary Lou Rup it could not reach a verdict after four days of deliberations. Rintala was charged in the strangling and beating murder of AnnaMarie Cochrane Rintala, in the state's first case of a woman charged with killing her lawfully wedded wife. The defense is requesting Rintala be freed on bail, and a bail hearing has been set for next Monday.
