cross examination, it really did make me being a lawyer like tha that, i tried everything up through death penalty cases. it prepared me for the friend zone. back and forth and i say most especially, for the five. right? tucker: and most other people, like most journalists, has lived her life. thanks, tucker. tucker: we make you kimmitt for a day. we have that authority. next choose. but at bedtime. .why settle for this? enter sleep number and the lowest prices of the season. sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. she likes the bed soft. he s more hardcore. so your sleep goes from good to great to wow!
he offered no apology for the killing of nine black churchgoers at the historic ame church. instead, prosecutors read portions of what he wrote in a journal. i m not sorry, he wrote. the prosecution s first witness, the widow of the reverend pinkney. she huddled in a locked office after hearing the gunshots, her six-year-old daughter whispered, daddy s dead? no, no, baby. she knew her husband of 16 years was gone. after the emotional testimony, roof chose not to cross-examine her. mental health experts say it s exceedingly rare for defendants to represent themselves in death penalty cases. just because he s been found competent to stand trial doesn t mean he hasn t been found to have a serious mental illness. he does fit the profile of
unanimity when it comes to a federal death penalty. all he s hoping for is to sway one person on that jury to say, i had a visceral reaction to the way he committed these homicides, the way he terrorized these people, and i can t bring myself to actually harm another person in this instance or i cannot choose myself to choose death for this individual. there may be hep for him to sway or pure suede somebody to feel even the small eye oat that of empathy for his position. it may an near to his benefit. when we think about death penalty cases, you think about truly heinous crimes, this is it, carol. laura coates, thank you for stopping by. thank you. congratulate the president-elect on a golf course and get the boot? one trump biographer said it happened to him over the weekend. hear his awkward tale next. per roll
want a lawyer so we gave you one. he was sitting right there. so this guy is sane enough to know he s actually working his way through the system right now. he s sane. i think that the crime itself was thought out, he plotted it out, he sat there. i think we know the painstaking facts of this case. certainly the mental portion of this crime, certainly the intent was there more than ever. but in the penalty phase, again, it s a different standard completely when it comes to mental illness. also, in death penalty cases, it s entirely legitimate for people to be very upset with the concept of death penalty when you have identification cases, scientific identification. in this case, there s no despite as to who did this crime. lastly, how long could this drag out? years and years. we have seen death penalty say he does get the death penalty. it could drag out 20 years, 15 years. ten years. i leave it there. thank you very much.
