as we learn more about the victims of an attack on a birthday in alabama. we ll bring you the very latest. outrage in kansas city after the family of a black teen who was shot after he rang the wrong doorbell, has now retained two well-known civil rights lawyers. what we know about the investigation coming up. in delaware, a judge overseeing a major defamation occ case against fox news says he made the decision to delay the start of the trial until tomorrow we ll take you outside the courtroom. plus, nearly 100 civilians killed in sudan as a clash unfolds between the government and paramilitary groups. what s behind this wave of violence coming up and we begin this hour with another mass shooting devastating a community in america. this morning an investigation is underway in dadeville, alabama, after four people were killed, 29 others were injured in a shooting at a sweet 16 birthday party. most of the victims were teenagers. so far police have not provided informati
time, even right up to the buildup of the case itself on the euphemistically on the courthouse steps it can happen but we have not heard any word of that, and the expectation will be that this case, which could last five to six weeks will kick off tomorrow, and we could see taking the stand some of fox news s biggest names including sean hannity and tucker carlson as well as the 92-year-old chairman of fox corporation, rupert murdoch, jose lisa, how what s at stake in this case the stakes for fox are enormous, jose, as you know. dominion s damages claim has been $1.6 billion. they re also seeking as our colleague katie phang has noted on twitter, punitive damages, which are damages that essentially punish a party for misconduct so the stakes could not be bigger here for fox. lisa, dominion has filed other defamation suits against other entities such as news max, the one american news network,
another right wing news network. that s bizarre in and of itself. any of these reports that donald trump s campaign had veto power of this network s story. the former mayor said the deposition that christina bob who volunteered for the legal team had to run her stories by the campaign. that is clearly not a news network. we were still trying to claw our way out of this pandemic in large part due to misinformation that came out of the right wing media. when fox news stopped playing the game, if you remember it was the trump administration that was giving a day pass to the one american news network s correspondent who was then asked in those questions that the administration wanted. to your point about editorial influence, they weren t just vetoing stories, they were
