o mara, former federal prosecutor jessica roth. mark, let s start with what we heard in randi s piece about the final rebuttal witness, that forensics expert pushing back against the defense s crime scene expert who claimed that the shooter was likely shorter than alex murdaugh. what did you make of the testimony from this guy today? i thought it was very good because i thought the rebuttal to what the defense was suggesting was spot on. the defense was suggesting one very static way where it couldn t have been somebody 6 4 . but the whole situation is so dynamic. and i thought the presentation by that witness and the prosecutor, i thought it just came across very well and really discounted what the defense is trying to come up with, with their one view of how it couldn t have happened. jessica, what did you think about it? and also, the fact that it was the attorney general doing the questioning? so i thought that the prosecution s rebuttal case, especially that last witness we
