the jury didn t buy any of that. yeah, yeah. jesse. they didn t buy that because of what the prosecutor said in rebuttal. his theme was three words. csc, common sense case, right? people watched. they watched these shows on tv and they are expecting all of this, you know, forensic evidence but rebuttal closing was really, really good. he brought it to the jurors like what does your gut tell you? what does your instinct tell you. jurors tend to be overanalytical, right? we figure we spend six weeks in trial we are going to spend days going through what you just said. we are going to talk about all these theories? was it a drug dealer? was it somebody that really wanted to get after paul because of the boat accident? when you break it down to common sense, then that s what this jury looked at. and one other thing, jesse, that i thought was really good is how
a number of her clothes were missing. she was wearing a mid sized winter jacket for colorado at that time, and a scarf. she was lying on her back. she had no defensive wounds that she had wounds on her knees and lower leg area. which would tell us that she had either crawled on her knees at some point into that rough area. the grass, based upon the injuries. and she didn t have defensive wounds suggesting she was not fighting her attacker? she was trying to go along with him, maybe to get him to let her go? correct. some of the forensics they shared with us let some of us to believe it wasn t a stranger. that it must be somebody that she knew. but she didn t know anybody there, did she? she didn t know anybody there, but she was working at a radio station. so, was it somebody that she worked with at the radio station? could it be somebody that she turned down for a date, or a
i just turned on the news, woman found murdered in denver, colorado. i just grabbed my son and screamed and cried. was it somebody she worked with at the radio station? could it be the boyfriend that she just broke up with and december? you re giving the detectives names of people? yes. he looked at everything. i was even like, where was ted bundy at that time? we have to look under every stone, every pebble,. they re talking about hundreds of names here. hundreds, thousands. she is driven. her tenacity is just remarkable. i knew i was going to find him. it was a competition between him and i. your heart is pounding like, oh, my gosh. this is real. i said, i found him. i know who killed helene. hello and welcome to dateline . helene pruszynski lift by a
a subject, he might be somebody of interest. he s not actually somebody targeted as looking to see whether you can charge him. and so that s an interesting call that you would think he might be so exposed, in terms of seeming to be the right-hand man of donald trump. what legal exposure does he have, and what kind of legal peril is he in in georgia? it seems like he is almost certainly my idea is that everybody that you re seeing with respect to donald trump, i was a prosecutor on this, i would be thinking mark meadows is aiming and abetting, and conspiring. i don t see any daylight but this is really going to put a lot of pressure from mark meadows to cut a deal. i do think that before them, he s going to be distributing any privilege he can in order to throw sand in the gears and delay this. he might at the end of the day assert his methods, and then that will really leave it to jack smith to enough evidence to charge him, or if it is so important to ge his testimony that y dec
how well do you think she is doing at what margaret said, distinguishing herself from trump without alienating his base? she s trying but that is it s the ultimate challenge in the republican party as the party tries to figure out if it is ready to move beyond donald trump or not and if so, who is going to do it? is it somebody who is kind of in the middle? people who are very much anti-trump say that she s just wish-washy on it and not strong enough on it. maybe she s got the magic sauce there. what i also want to point out is that as part of her biography and everything else, this maybe goes without saying, but she s a woman, and it s likely that there might not be another woman in the republican primary race. liz cheney, we ll see. kristi noem of south dakota, we ll see. the fact that she is the first person getting out after getting in there, i should say, after donald trump, and is not just a woman of color, but probably the only female
