One way or the other as to who did this, whether it was an individual, whether it was a group. this suggests that nobody they have on their radar right now, whether they are in custody is lighting up the charts for them or seen as a particularly promising lead. of course, you can just be sure that anyone they are questioning they are not only talking to them but also aggressively checking their backgrounds, looking at people that theyve been in contact with, doing everything they can short of ge...

Know, people hater? >> reporter: no, but you got not from here at the white house, what you see is a lot of veterans on capitol hill hearing the information that theyre getting and coming to certain conclusions about that this because of the lack of international groups that seem to be -- the lack of intelligence involving links to potential international groups that you see some of the folks in congress hearing the information that they were briefed on and seeing it is pointing to homegrown. th...

There is an intruder. they know what kind of weapon was used. there are more forensics perhaps because there is this intruder. will it make it an easier case to solve? >> it will make both easier to solve and to prosecute it. thats a mistake that criminals make. they commit one crime and get away with it. and then another and then another and then another. if you can link the crimes. like the old equation if a is b and b is c then a is c. if he killed the first victim then you can get similariti...

Two about people who think they can outsmart the cops. beth, how many cases have you covered in which you find criminals who think theyre smarter than forensics and police? >> well, a lot of them do. i handled a lot of cases in my eight years as a prosecutor in manhattan, but the bulk of the cases plead out. you strike a deal. only a fraction actually go to trial. so there are many cases, though, where defendants do think they can outsmart the place, casey anthony, and she did, and of course jod...

They have overturned that acquittal, right? >> apparently no knifed was presented. we have to think its the forensics again but we dont know. >> in terms of an extradition they are not look at guilt or in sense per se. the package presents probable cause to believe there was a crime and seeks her back. it will be interesting. jon: what a story. >> it goes on and on. >> liz wheel, doug burns thank you. jenna: new jersey governor chris christie promising, promising there will be no scandal when pr...

They have a long history with all due respect to the italians of coercing confessions and underhanded tactics. >> thats right, and supposed confession that looks, it could have been coerced. lets go back to the forensics, youre talking about. why would they come back, they wouldnt. these cops bungled this case from the beginning and i dont see how that forensic evidence gets back in front much another judge. and if it doesnt, they dont have enough to attach to it. >> megyn: this prosecutor who i...

One of the main problems the prosecutor had in upholding the conviction, what was the motive? the prosecution claimed some sex gone wild but there was no evidence of that. >> no evidence and dont forget, we can never forget, they were roommates and even that forensics was there, on the brush, the bra, all of that could be explained away by theyre roommates and of course theyre together. even if they put her in that place at the time, there was no proof at trial that she had anything to do with i...

To go back voluntarily. it would be up to the u.s. extradite her. jon: can she fight going back over there? >> she has a choice. she doesnt have a voluntarily surrender and u.s. decides, i would doubt at this point, since she was found not guilty by an italian jury they would actually forcer had to go back. even today, if the ruling is that the italian prosecutors do get a new trial im not sure they would ever see amanda knox back in italy to take advantage of that opportunity. jon: reportedly t...

Claimed that merediths bra clasp had the dna of raphael on it and turned out to be questionable. they threw that stuff out and the prosecutor is arguing so you throw that out, you dont throw out the whole case. >> well, i would probably agree with the italian prosecutor and we dont know the competence or incompetence of the crime scene investigation or the forensics, but with what we do know and for me, theres one thing that is so overwhelming is, amanda knox actually participated or created a s...
