Families confront answers as Baja California killings go to trial

In Ensenada, Mexico, three men go on trial for the homicide of two Australian surfers, Jake and Callum Robinson, and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad, who were camping on a remote Baja California beach in 2024 when they were robbed and shot; their bodies were found on a cliff.
