to here. many of the jurors were physically turning away like that, although i heard that one of the jurors handed him a box of kleenex. did not like that. okay. so then the rebuttal witnesses, are these called then by the prosecution or the defense? how does that work? yeah. well, this is how it goes the state has the burden of proof. they have finished their case in chief. the defense is completing its case, we think either two to four witnesses. probably a pathologist and crime scene expert, whatever else they can dig up. in a lot of jurisdictions, you don t have to give notice of who your rebuttal and sur rebuttal witnesses will be. the state will rebut what the defense does. we re expecting two to three rebuttal witnesses. nancy grace, you re down there for us during this critical trial that s captured attention across america.
it was an interesting answer. president trump won by 47 points in west virginia. i think that the writing is on the wall that jim justice would beat him, but i think that joe manchin is not making a decision to run for re-election to the senate. i think he s waiting to see about biden running for president, and he might try to give it a shot running as a third party. as an independent? uh-huh. i could see that. it s possible. i know. i m just throwing stuff out there. are you still a democrat? i m an american. i got it. hey, want you to get to the alex murdaugh murder trial, riff inveriveting the country, took e stand last week, denying killing his wife and son. the prosecution drilled him in a two-day cross-examination.

mark, nice to see you. we don t have to seat 6 feet apart. my weekend was a 12. my son s team won. now i m here with you. what you did not hear from any of those clips is let s keep an open mind. did not happen. most americans looked at this and said, well, duh, of course it came from a lab. every normal person in america has known for years that it came from a lab. think about it. it happened in wuhan, the home of the wuhan institute of virology that studies bat coronaviruses. they were doing research, at biosafety level two instead of four, with spacesuits. three people from the wuhan lab got sick in november 2019 at the start of the pandemic and had to go to the hospital with covid symptoms. yeah, it didn t come from a lab. i mean, this is a two-minute
decision. it s a long list. dana? let s talk about the government and the media response, because here s jonathan turley, what he wrote in the new york post, that the covid lab leak is government censorship. that s the next step, if the government are willing to do introspection and ask themselves why did we insist on telling people it wasn t from a lab, when it could have been, even if it s low confidence, that is what they believe. why is there no 9/11 commission for the covid pandemic? we got so many things wrong from the response. you look at fauci s mistakes from the beginning of this, saying for six weeks that there was no community spread in the u.s. when it was, because they were using a flu surveillance system instead of a covid surveillance system, which you had to present with symptoms, and everyone was asymptomatic. two, dismissing masking. the list of things he got wrong to this. no one has been held to account.
