weeks with complicated series of circumstantial evidence even though incredibly powerful family in that county. this jury didn t look at him that way. within 5 minutes of taking the witness stand, he he he utterly destroyed his alibi. the evidence was overwhelming and had more holes in it than swiss cheese. no one else s voice was on that snapchat but it is. they didn t seek the death penalty, but you will spend the rest of his life in prison where he belongs. ashley: former prosecutor is on deck with his expert legal analysis. todd: jackie ibanez live in new york city newsroom, jackie, good morning. good morning six weeks, 70 witnesses and three hours of deliberations for a panel of south carolina jurors to find alex murdaugh guilty of ordering his wife and son. guilty verdict. signed by the four lady 3223.
what was your thought? three hours. i mean three hours, what was your thought? guilty, joe. a five-week trial, three-hour verdict, after that mountain of circumstantial evidence, there was no way that jury was coming back in three hours with unanimous not guilty verdict. it was because he lied, and the jury, i think, was so repulsed by the fact that he lied to them, to their own faces. saying, essentially, yeah, he lied every day about his alibi, but today was the day he was telling the truth. because he said it was the opioids that made him so paranoid, that he lied previously. if the opioids made him so paranoid ae l that he lied and would it be so paranoid that he would kill? jury didn t buy it. justice was done. danny, it seemed very clear that he was i mean, he
all excited about rushing into china. but you say that our ownership stakes, despite all of that, continue to grow in chinese businesses. tell us about it. yeah, joe, i agree with, certainly, everything you said. none of us particularly like going to china. dealing with the chinese can be difficult, opaque at best. but you can see on this chart what has happened to u.s. companies activities in china. they are simply getting more deeply into china with every passing year. you can see here, for example, tesla, which sold no cars, really almost anywhere back in 2011, now sells 26% of its cars in china. intel, 26% of its sales are in china. companies like nike, apple, starbucks, all very heavily dependent on china for their sales. now, this doesn t mean they make stuff here and sell it to china. we don t do that. they make stuff either in china
very, very closely so it doesn t get out of hand. are there worries about a pandemic at this point? no, not at all. we have it totally under control. it s one person. again, one person. if you re just waking up, again, donald trump tweeted on january the 24th of 2020, back when his administration, when people like matt pottinger were begging him to try to get information out of china, he was saying, china has been working very hard to contain the coronavirus. the united states greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. it will all work out well. geez. in particular, on behalf of the american people, i want to thank president xi. and he said that china is working very hard, i have a great relationship with president xi, on and on and on and on. yeah, if trumpers want to fight on that ground, let s fight on that ground. let s do it. let s talk about who said what, when they said it, and who was
or elsewhere and sell it in china. but it is a very important source of profits for these countries. so it s a love/hate relationship, really, between the companies in china. they don t love it but they know they need it. later this month, china will, for the first time in three years, have their international chinese development forum. you re going to see a parade of u.s. ceos, led by tim cook from apple and so on and so forth parading over to china to continue to try to do business there. so all this makes it so difficult. it makes it so difficult for us to do anything along the lines of what we did in russia. we can sanction some individual companies. we ve done that. we can ban some exports of critical technologies, we ve done that. in terms of really broad-based, economic punishment, that doesn t seem likely. yeah. claire, let me just ask you, if you were on a committee right now in the senate, let s show
