media rewriting 9-11 history now. it is the newest ugly chapter from those praising the work of hamas on october 7. now they re saying that they are now understanding things about bin laden and 9-11 that they never understood before they say. 22 years later. imagine how the families of 9-11 victims feel when they hear these voices. and there is much more on this front to dig in to today. we ll spine with ian allie later this hour and get her reaction to these in some cases, i should say, hamas sympathizers and now showing some sympathy or understanding for the thinking of osama bin laden. first we want to bring you the breaking news. president biden at the apex summit in california just said that his relationship with president xi of china is not cumbaya. secretary of state blinken appeared to whence when the president referred to xi as a dictator. watch this closely on the left-hand side of your screen. watch. mr. president, after today, would you still refer to president
to kill michael? yeah. so she made a decision to fight. jane had taken michael to the beach that day, said bamieh. they were late getting home. dave was upset. started screaming and yelling, nobody respects me. i don t get any attention around here. nobody cares about me. jane put michael to bed, got into pajamas herself and waited for dave s anger to subside. but he wasn t calming down. so about 10:30 or 11:00, he comes out of the room, and he s upset and he s angry. and that s when she saw the gun, said bamieh. he s holding it and he starts talking about michael, how they don t respect him, and he s going to blow his f ing head off. he grabs her, throws her against the wall. she falls down. she kind of crawls backwards with her hands and feet like a crab walk towards the back door. somehow she gets him out on the patio. she s like, calm down, dave, calm down. then, out in the darkness, dave stumbled on the patio.
financial motive for killing her husband. after all, she did not ask for nor did she receive a penny of dave s life insurance. jane would never be about finances. absolutely not. why do you say that? because that s not her value. jane is about relationships, she s about family, she s about children. it s never been about money for her. of course, the prosecutor got his turn to cross examine jane. there were a lot of i don t remember s about the the night of the murder. she simply couldn t recall what happened after she fired the first two or three shots, she said. but she did admit she was quite familiar with the gun. in fact, had used it several times before. this single-action gun in the hands of this defendant required her to pull back that hammer, fire. pull back the hammer, fire.
it s ludicrous. it violated the laws of physics. what s more, he said, the dna on the gun was dave s. once again supporting jane s contention, that he had the gun. and then they struggled for it. his dna is on the trigger. there s no getting around that fact. one more thing, said bamieh, one more bit of evidence that the police missed, even though it was right under their noses. bruising on jane s upper left arm. photographed the morning after dave was killed. look at the bruise closely, you ll see there s basically a little hand print. a hand-shaped bruise that helps prove, said bamieh, this wasn t murder. it was self-defense. if you re fighting for your life reasonably, you have to conclude they re fighting for a gun, you get to use lethal force. and now looking back, said jane s childhood friend, helen, things began to make sense.
describe them to me. how fast they were. pop, pop, pop. but if her husband was dead outside, why was the gun found hidden inside? and what other secrets were hidden away? sometimes she would say things like, i d be better off if dave wasn t around. was her husband defending his family, or was she? she rose that night. the mystery may not be who did it, but why. the truth will come out and justice will be served. i have to believe that. welcome to dateline extra. dave laut was an elite athlete who reached olympic heights, taking home a bronze medal at the 1984 olympic games. for dave, home was ventura county, california, where he grew up, where he met his beautiful bride, jane, and also where he lost his life.
