Is your job and thank you all so much for joining us. This is seen under central as johnson said its metal coverage of the trump trial starts right now, this was Cnn News Central us federal a live view of the criminal courthouse here in manhattan, where we are told doctors legal team will be on a mission today, zeroing in on Michael Cohens admitted and allege lies before president and all it is on his way to the courthouse right now is the defenses preparing to up where it left off, grilling trumps longtime fixer. You can see them there waving to the cameras as he gets into his motorcade. Over the last 24 hours, trumps legal team its been preparing for this moment for colins returned to the Witness Stand. Im told and plotting their strategy to undermine the prosecutions star witness. The question is whether they can the jury, but also their client im Kaitlan Collins here in new york. Object. Saverin, washington dc. Youre watching special seen in live coverage of former president Donald
overload? i think jury fatigue is a real possibility here. i want to just close off this segment by giving you an antidote from the o.j. simpson case at which jurors were sequestered for about nine months. they came to deliberation with their bags packed. they delivered nine months of testimony and evidence. nine months of judge ito s instructions in that courtroom. deliberation did not last 2 1/2 hours. so there say huge risk of overload. sunny hostin and joey jackson, standby. we ll see you later on in the hour. just ahead, though, i want to take you back to phoenix because there s a very big issue of money. what does it cost to defend someone when you are going to hold them to the potential of the ultimate punishment of death? it costs a lot. and jodi arias attorney does not want you or anyone else to know just how much. i ll tell you why in a moment.
the defense then said, this is not a gift. it was simply a book. of de minimis pal view, and as to the prosecution0s allegations he liked her or wasn t amorred of her. he didn t send her flours or jewelry or candy. it was a book because he thought perhaps she needed it because she was state showing was suicidal. shepard: how does a jury handle a trial that is this long and all this detail. you would think there would be jury fatigue. and that s what pundits say. but look at the questions. 100 questions, and there are mow questions being proposed. so they re engaged, whichles if you taking the defense side, it makes you think, they haven t made a conclusion yet. they may not absolutely find her guilty. that s why they have questions. remember, reasonable doubt. they want to make sure their decision, there is no doubt. shepard: you think if you already said other, i m sure
this woman, this mom who lost her child, spoke to them and then they spoke to casey. they want to say that not only is she lying about this defense theory, but that she came one this story from someone else so that proves to you that she concocted it from, you know, some source and that makes it more false. i don t buy it. i don t agree and i don t care, i do not care whether that woman spoke to someone who spoke to casey because there is no evidence that caylee drowned in that pool. i think this is a distraction and a bit of a side show. how is the defense doing just on the point of performing and showing reasonable doubt to this jury who s now in its 25th day and as we can only imagine, there has to be jury fatigue that is coming in especially with these people that have been on and in seclusion, sequestered this entire time and they have been listening now to this forensic evidence that s been coming forward, as i point out, there has to be some fatigue that s what s now set in.
