first jury deadlocked, burke strunsky went back to court armed with his new evidence for a brand new panel of hall s peers. jurors heard medical experts testify about the injuries to christi s head and once again heard lindsay s 911 call. i saw him put her under water. cristi s co-workers testified for the prosecution. and jerry winkle traveled from idaho to tell jurors what he thought of chris hall. i was ashamed to admit that he was once a police officer. but, if the prosecution had upped its game in the year between the two trials, so had the defense. that s when well-known attorney steve harmon and paul grech entered the scene, and they came out swinging. that story about cristi s affair, for example? there s a shadow hanging over all of this stuff. very human sort of shadow, which is that she was having a little
investigations by special counsel getting out of control. i can understand some of that concern, but if in fact the investigation relates in any way to russian interference with our presidential election, that, to me, is vitally important many we need to know exactly how that happened. because they re going to come back and most government officials in positions of authority and knowledge recognize as a serious threat going forward. so to the extent this is an investigation to what extent they interfered i would respectfully say that is important and we need to continue to make sure we know the answers. i guess you could see sort of both sides where on one hand it s important to get those answers to know how involved they were. and on the other hand the white house has a point of view this sort of is a shadow hanging over foreign affairs, dealing with foreign leaders. you can see both sides you about this is on going on capitol hill. senate judiciary investigators
