bail amount inappropriately low. authorities say brooks also had an outstanding arrest warrant in an unrelated case in nevada where he is a registered sex offender. meanwhile, a community is trying to heal. mourning the six that were killed and processing loved ones that nearly added to the toll. and omar jimenez joins us now. omar, i understand you have some new information about one of the injured? reporter: yeah, john, as we understand, a firefighter s son who was marching with his high school band during the waukesha christmas parade has just been released from the icu. but there is still a long road to recovery there as the statement that was released said that he had to go under or that he had to undergo surgery for a broken femur. that he they are also monitoring other injuries as well as potentially going to have to place a chest drainage tube on him, as well. along with, as i mentioned,
saw him on the news and figured out that he was a professional racist. so, yeah, a lot of these guys are out of the movement but the old money white nationalists behind the scenes who funded them and nur thured them, they weren t involved in this case and so they are sill out there. elle reeve as i said, you were there in 2017. you are there tonight. i imagine there will be more chapters in the future you will be covering as well. we appreciate the work you are doing on this. thank you. as we mentioned, one woman was killed during that 2017 rally. her name was heather heyer. a 32-year-old pay la legal. she was killed when one of the defendants drove his car into a crowd of counter-protestors. that man is now serving multiple life sentences. we are honored that heather s mother, susan, could join us tonight. susan, very nice to see you. we appreciate you being with us. when you heard what the jury decided today, what went through your mind? well, my first question was trying to
of the black man. and that s what this is. that s what this case is about. you you have a black man who is running down the street. there is an inherent fear that comes along with the color of his skin, and so that is why i believe she she did that. now, the question is i mean, when you look at the jury makeup, you look at the overwhelming number of white people who are on this jury. i mean, let s just be blunt about it. let s have an honest conversation about it and the question is will they come back with the verdict that we all believe is just? or will this system break our heart, again? i think that s the question. so, sara, sara sidner reporting on the conversation between the judge and the jury at the end of the day. that s pretty interesting. you don t normally get that kind of body language there. it seemed as if the jury saying, you know, we re getting there. what do you take away from that? well, look, john, i think the timeline is critical here. whenever juries get
that has nothing to do with his time as president and everything to do with his business practices. now, yes, donald trump will make the argument that he was investigated because he was president. i don t think he was investigated because he was president. but i do think things came to light that might not have otherwise because he was president. regardless, it s not clear how any of this relates to party duties or activities. you know, his argument would be and his folks argument has always been he s raised a ton of money for them. but this is really unheard of that you would have something like this for a former president in general and somebody who is thinking of running again and somebody who s under investigation just separately. lauren fox, maggie haberman, thank you both. eye missouri man spent 43 years in prison for a triple murder he says he didn t commit. what a judge said about the case today. next.
um, to show that he is not a threat. right? he she said, you know, he had these baggy shorts and so the defendants could see the waistband and they could clearly see he didn t have a weapon, he didn t have a gun. he didn t even have a cell phone or a wallet, right? so that was that was really clever on her part. and last, but not least, she circled back to the most basic piece of evidence, which was that 9-1-1 call that you just played. which is, um, what is the emergency? a black man running down the street. i mean, mic drop, right? this is this is really just sums up what this case is all about and what we ve seen through this trial. bakari, talk more about that moment, if you will, because this was the 9-1-1 call that gregory mcmichael made and we heard him in sara sidner s piece say, there is a black man running down the street, unquote. so, how much did that encapsulate what the prosecution was trying to prove here? you know, i think this puts ahmaud arbery in the long
