recap, judge merchan said that lawyers are not allowed to make comments about witness testimony. let's bring back the pan. all the lawyers in the room smiled when the judge said that happens on tv and in the movies, that does not happen in real trials. >> well, they're smiling in this room as well. because it's true. you're gonna have to balance again to what jurists think happens in law and order within 48 minutes, you've got a crime committed to defendant identified, arrested, and you have some of locking down the steps at the end of the trial in 42 minutes here it's interesting because there's a moment he says that the lawyers, or the notes are not a substitute for the actual transcripts digital come into play and having lawyers on your jury as well, we were concerned about remember, can lawyers beyond the actual jury, the reason you'd love concerns because you might be deferential to them and say, is that what happens at the issue here? it's almost a way of reminding a look, the prosecution and the defense, they have to build their case. they have to defend their case. but the lawyers and i note-taking is not going to substitute for you what you're hearing. again, there is no
♪ -good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the johnson space center for today's briefing. ♪ -lisa starke with abc news. when you realized that you had this debris that had struck the shuttle and you started your analysis, what was the discussion about trying to take a look either through satellites or these large telescopes that the military has and why was the decision made not to try that? -we certainly had that discussion. we believe that taking a picture , looking for tile damage, it does not show us the depth of tile that may have been shaved off. we cannot make a determination conclusively whether that represents a concern or not. - well, linda, reading through the transcripts,
through to everybody else. for now, trump's voice is the dominant one. it is the one speaking the loudest. >> but this is my media question. i was talking about the split screen. when i said it, i thought, is there a split screen? all eyes are on trump. if his trial wasn't going on, we are not sitting outside his home, everyone is sitting outside that courthouse. i wonder, how is that going to impact campaign coverage? >> maybe president biden will read the transcripts of court proceedings every night. >> he has been using it a bit. i hope he takes this opportunity that he has, biden, to do something good and to express look at me, i am out on the campaign trail because i am not in a courtroom because i have committed crimes.
does when he is in that courtroom. among the moments today, i was saying that there were a few emotional moments. >> one of those there was a woman who went to his hand the microphone during the voir dire process is they're going through the questionnaire. she said and i'm quoting her here. i'm sorry, i thought i could do this. i wouldn't want someone who feels this way to judge my case either. but jurors have been very forthright. it seems at least in reading the transcripts, as i've been doing& jeremy's according, can you walk us through what that was like? >> well, i'm not allowed to draw their faces so i can't i can't get to the jurors. >> but she was very emotional, tears and tissues and i just too bad. >> i wish i could have drawn her. yeah. >> do you notice a difference with this trial and other trials again, you've been doing this for decades. is there anything different in that? >> i don't think i've ever seen people get so nervous or anxious about actually being a juror on a trip and why do you think that is i don't know that
jurors. some of them may shrug it off. everybody is different. we even saw that level of intimidation. you have fox saying what they are saying which i expected it. and then you have donald trump in the courtroom doing something very real to the jurors that can be quite intimidating to them and should not be allowed. >> charles, should the judge have even allowed this questionnaire to have gone through verbally? wouldn't it have protected these potential jurors a little more if they could have written their answers to these questions and then, seeing these transcripts and what people are witnessing in the courtroom, the reporters and donald trump himself, the back and forth about very specific things. and said, folks seem to be just exposing themselves on the stand. the second part of that is, do you think the judge should -- i believe the legal term is sequester but lock the jury
nature of the court proceedings and the wealth of personal information available on the internet it has not been hard to identify these people. this issue was brought up in court today. judge merchan directed the press to avoid physical descriptions of jurors and ruled information about their employers will be redacted from transcripts. one person took it to a new level. both tuesday and wednesday nights, devoting entire segments to airing all the available information about the jurors and his opinion on whether they are suspect. >> so the seven jurors chosen can we trust them? juror number two. a nurse from the upper eastside with a masters degree. she said two things that stuck out. one, quote, i don't really have an opinion of trump. end r and quote no one is above the law. i'm not so sure about juror number two. number two is the nurse. this nurse scares me if i'm trump she is from the upper
okay, that's uncalled for. back with neal katyal and andrew weissman. we got our transcripts late tonight before the show. adam, there is a spot that you heard and now have the transcript for that is very interesting about the examples that the district attorney was
that there were a few emotional moments. one of those there was a woman who went to his hand the microphone during the voir dire process is they're going through the questionnaire. she said and i'm quoting her here. i'm sorry, i thought i could do this i wouldn't want someone who feels this way to judge my case either. but jurors have been very forthright. it seems at least in reading the transcripts, as i've been doing and jeremy's reporting, can you walk us through what that was like? >> well, i'm not allowed to draw their faces so i can't i can't get to the jurors but she was very emotional. tears and tissues and it's too bad. i wish i could have drawn her. yeah. >> do you notice a difference with this trial and other trials? again, you've been doing this for decades. is there anything different in that is i don't think i've ever seen people get so nervous or anxious about actually being a juror on a trial. and why do you think that is? >> i don't know the ex-president is a big deal to people. >> yeah. i think maybe a little bit of star struck. i don't
good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. jury selection in donald trump's first criminal trial is forging ahead despite this morning's setback. no new jurors have been selected today. one who was seated tuesday has been removed. the nurse raising concerns after friends and colleagues questioned her identity as a juror and whether she could be identified by details that have been disclosed in court. that led the judge to redact all employment information, previous employment information from official transcripts and instruct the media to use common sense attempting to keep any identifying characteristics about the juror anonymous. there are concerns with another juror, the i.t. consultant, that prosecutors say the man might have lied on the questionnaire after their research uncovered an arrest report from the 1990s. he just arrived in court where he told the judge he is annoyed about how much information is out in public about him.
>> well, again, right now, we have seven jurors so far. out of those jurors, you have several who, like i said, have said some positive things about him. you have two lawyers on the jury. typically, if you're a prosecutor, you like to keep lawyers off the jury. they tend to be influential, people who can be leaders. one of the civil litigators on the jury said things to the effect of, you know, he has no opinion whatsoever about donald trump's character, which i thought was interesting. most people have an opinion about donald trump's character. >> not yet met a person. >> yeah, if you've been following the news and aware of his lawsuits, as this litigator said, and litigators tend to have strong opinions. that was interesting. this is somebody who, knowing everything we know about trump, can't form an opinion on his character? you know, they may have their work cut out for them getting to a unanimous verdict of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. >> in reading the transcripts from our court reporters about how this is going, there are a
