attorneys for the mcmichaels and brian acknowledge their clients made racially offensive remarks but they urged jurors to decide the hate crimes case based on facts rather than the raw emotions such words may stir. joining me is david henderson, a civil rights attorney and former prosecutor. there were slurs, death threats against black people, stereotypes as well. how could these messages, in your estimation, impact the hate crime trial? i ve always been good at telling you there s a reasonable point of view to be argued from the other side. but there s no reasonable point of view to be argued from the other side. it s so offensive that it s hard to think about it objectively. not only do they make slurs but they went so far as to say we think black people are criminals
