very seldom is it just a random act of violence. in this particular case, that is exactly what this was. narrator: as the years pass since sierra's murder, detectives in calcasieu parish, louisiana, refused to let the case go. mcgee: it was so frustrating. i lived and breathed this case. i just felt so drawn to it. so we were open to everything that everybody had to say -- every tip, every idea. narrator: and that search for something new turned up a possibility when dna analyst monica quaal saw a web seminar from a cutting-edge forensics company called parabon nanolabs. quaal: we were contacted by a neighboring agency saying that they had some interesting science that a new agency was doing, and they were interested in sharing with us. narrator: parabon claimed that they could take dna evidence to a completely new level. they said it was possible to put a face on unidentified dna,
don't need to hear this. what you are arguing is just so preposterous. it doesn't mean that they won't, but if that does happen, it's possible for this to go, the federal case to go in march. if not, i think we are going to see a reversal. we are going to see the state new york case go at the end of march. that should take 4 to 6 weeks and i can see judge chutkan slotting in right after that. the florida case is the one where judge cannon has technically kept that date, but she is going to hear from the parties, she said, in the beginning of march, as to whether that is a feasible date. so i think that case is likely to be pushed off, which, from jack smith's perspective, is probably just fine to have a bigger case, the january 6th case, slot in second. >> neal, just for a second to
c. circuit, the nation's second highest court, just a couple of days ago. i expect that court is going to throw out trump's claims really quickly, and trump has always been hoping united states supreme court will get that case and stopped his trial pending it. i'm just not sure that's right. there is so little to trump's claims that it is perfectly plausible to think u.s. supreme court's not gonna hear the case and not going to delay trump's trial. so much fourth or thereabouts can still occur. >> andrew, what do you still see when you have this trial calendar? >> the same reaction as neal listening to the argument, and particularly judge pan take apart the argument. many ways just getting the lawyer to actually say what they are arguing because it was so preposterous. so the more that argument went on, the more you thought, i think, as neal does that the odds of the supreme court saying, you know what? don't need to hear this. what you are arguing is just so preposterous. it doesn't mean that they won't, but if that does happen, it's possible for this to go, the federal case to go in march. if not, i think we are going to see a reversal. we are going to see the state new york case go at the end of march. that should take 4 to 6 weeks and i can see judge chutkan slotting in right after that. the florida case is the one
with the opportunity, the only person with the motive to take brian out of this world. and he did it. and he committed this heinous crime masterfully. >> the defense and its motion took a swipe at ken thompson, the agent for who two decades would not let the case go. >> you do not bad people, because the lead investigator is retiring, and, once this case resolved. just so we can close the book. >> agent thompson was not even the courtroom. he carried around so long. >> i had to get out of there. i didn't want to listen to it anymore. i needed to reflect and be alone. think about it. >> the jury went out the first thing the next day. they did not determine as quickly as they wanted to.
only person with the opportunity, the only person with the motive to take brian ryan out of this world. and he did it, and he committed this crime masterfully. >> the defense and its closing took a swipe at -- the agent who for two decades would not let the case go. >> we don't convict people, because the lead investigator is retiring and wants this case resolved. just so we can close the book. >> but agent thompson wasn't even in the courtroom to hear the lawyers, and the case he had carried around so long. >> i just felt the need i had to get out of, there i don't want to listen to, it had to get away and reflect. >> the jury went out first thing in the morning the next day, they did not return as quickly as one side at least
>> exactly. that's getting lost here amid this debate about trump's defense he can declassify anything. none of these three statutes require that the information be classified. the doj's position is these are u.s. government documents, property of the government, not donald trump's, it is illegal to steal them and it is illegal to mutilate or conceal them to obstruct an investigation, and then you have the espionage act which requires an intent to harm the united states, which suggests that the fbi at least has suspicions about the motives in storing these documents. >> so, when might we hear something and how would they decide whether to even take the extraordinary step of indicting a former president. >> there is so much we don't know because we haven't seen that affidavit of probable cause or the fbi lays out the justification. there is a couple of possibilities here. one is that this was just about getting the documents back, the fbi has their documents, that's the end of it. another is that there were crimes committed here about the mishandling of information and we'll see a case go forward. and then a third most ominous possibility is it is something even worse that, about what was donald trump doing with those
only person with the motive to take bryan rein out of this world. and he did it. and he committed this crime, masterfully. >> reporter: the defense, in its closing, took a swipe at ken thompson, the agent who for two decades wouldn't let the case go. >> we don't convict people because the lead investigator is retiring and wants this case resolved just so we can close the book. >> reporter: the jury went out first thing in the morning the next day. they did not return as quickly as one side, at least, expected.
amendment protected speech. hence a federal civil rights lawsuit. >> there is a lot more that will develop with this. mccray plans to run as a republican for the massachusetts state senate next year. dana. >> dana: thank you, alexis. we'll keep an eye on that. >> bill: former wisconsin congressman sean duffy, good morning to you. you have nine kids, right up your alley. the things she said on the video want to make sure they aren't being taught to the country was built on racism. where does her case go, sean? >> it's a good case. the right to free speech and the fact that the school board is saying that if she is going to be opposed to crt it will be an negative interface with the community it shows how deeply crt has been rooted inside of our education system, whether it's teachers, school boards, administrators. you can't come out as a potential candidate and be opposed to crt and i think again this as a parent of nine kids and parents across the country are seeing this on our
he said the internet knew before he did. so what did you just hear in that press conference? >> what is so unusual in that press conference? >> what's so unusual is the sheriff sent down to the court to ask a judge to issue a criminal complaint without first talking to the prosecutor, the d.a. normally when you have time and lord knows they have had plenty of time here, if you were a police officer or sheriff, you would talk to the prosecutor first, you would say hey, we think we have enough to charge here, are you on board or not? it is very rare, it's extraordinary to see a police officer when they have had weeks and weeks to deal with a case go in and ask for a complaint themselves and then deal with the prosecutor afterwards. apparently he hasn't talked to the prosecutor yet. the key thing to keep in mind, ultimately, the decision about whether this case moves forward is not the sheriff's as we just saw, tgsit's the d.a. in albany that's the person that's on the spot. what the sheriff was doing is applying pressure, i'm not going
the fbi narrows down the search to the campsite in grand teton for petito. mercedes, listen, by now this search, as we know, it spans across multiple states. where might this investigation into gabby petito's whereabouts and brian laundrie's case go from here in. >> well -- from here? >> well, thankfully if, law enforcement -- kudos to to them -- they've really used all their resources in trying to find both of these individuals. this will be searches and, obviously, there's a search in the national superb in florida looking for brian laundrie. what we've seen so far at least it's being reported that there's been -- from the laundrie home, maybe that'll have some clues. the van was confiscated and, apparently, searched. obviously, there's going to be any -- they lived in the vanishing so there's obviously going to be evidence of gabby petito being in the van. not sure if there's any evidence of anything beyond that, and, of course, the search will continue for gabby in the teton national
