Have no idea whether or not this is going to work. i m going to have to say i m cautiously pessimistic right now. but it is going to speed the game up, we hope. it is, jim. and baseball needs this desperately to attract young fans so people with the attention span of everyone now has changed from when we were kids loving baseball. so a pitcher has to pitch within 15 seconds once he gets the ball back. if there s a runner on base or runners on base, 20 seconds. and also, there are other little time periods involved here too. the batter needs to be ready eight seconds before the pitch. and the catcher needs to be ready before nine seconds. and what this means is that all the things we watch, all the little fiddles with his gloves, fiddles with the wrist bands where the pitcher s taking laps around the mound, that s done now. i think this is great.
Debt and we re learning about how it all came about. a process that is described as torture. kevin liptak is joining us with details. what are you learning about who t how the president made up his mind? i think that there was a recognition that the decision had to come. and president biden has had the reputation with taking time with big decisions. and i think that this was probably the best example of indecisiveness so far. and what we ve learned is the contours of the plan were in place in april and white house officials had gun initial discussions of unveiling it during commencement address as, but president wasn t ready. he still had to make up his mind. and there are three areas where the president was hung up on some of these things. one was was it legal. and the president was a sceptic
i think how i reset my mind frame to think kim, this is bigger than you and your frustration. i can t imagine what people going through way worse situations have to go through. that, you know, i have to tell myself this process of being a victim is grueling but it is not anything i can t handle. and look, i don t know if they pushed it back. i was told the defense wasn t ready. and i say how can you not be ready? i just woke up with lots of frustration that morning and i just had to express it but this process, i can t even imagine for people that go a year or two years. i m only in the beginning and this is what victims have to go through? every time i go to a store someone says you are the girl attacked by the homeless man. everywhere i go everyone wants to talk about it. i m trying to make sure that this is a part of my life but it is not who i am. dana: and you are here today.
Type of injuries she sustained. for example in the brain. her brain was battered so much that they couldn t embalm her body because the fluid would have leaked out of her brain. that doesn t sound to me like it is horrific. that doesn t sound like an accident. an accident is you will trip, fall, maybe you hit the side of your head but she also had traumatic injuries around her chest and arms as well. that s a hurdle for the defense. another hurdle is this. bill: there could have been evidence inside here. he took a kayak to an island. there is the cistern of a toilet was cracked and broken. that could have been the weapon that he used. go ahead. absolutely. that s a great point. the cistern is that hard cement-type top of the toilet. it was cracked and that would be consistent with type of trauma that she sustained to her head.
