normally, the court schedules the retrial as soon as they possibly can, but, yeah, juror attrition is going to be a real issue in this case. again, i couldn't agree more with lisa. opening statements are not going to be all day. look for an hour from the prosecution and probably less from the defense. because all they're doing today is offering a preview. you'll hear this probably many times. the evidence will show that dot, dot, dot. the evidence will show that dot, dot, dot. it's really just a promise to the jurors of what the facts will show. if you're the defense, you do not want to be making a lot of promises. for example, you will not hear the words, "you're going to hear from the defendant himself." because if you make that promise, nobody is going to forget it. so they will say, i expect, the prosecution will try to focus on what they've already seated the jury on, which is, you'll hear from some people that are not that credible. but they're not credible because
also, msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. sorry about that, we thought we'd hear trump. obviously, we've heard what he has to say a thousand times. lisa, what do we expect today? one of the first witnesses is david pecker, but do you expect that opening statements get finished today or just, technically, what are we looking for in terms of getting accomplished today in court? >> mika, a lot of the judicial housekeeping you'd expect to be taken care of before the trial really starts has all been brushed off judge merchan's plate. he's decided all the pretrial motions. we have a jury that has been sat. i expect that very soon after 9:30 this morning, we will get to opening statements. while neither of the parties has outlined exactly how long they will take, as danny knows better than anyone, an opening statement is your opportunity to preview your case for the jury. and while you want to do that in a way that gives them an overview, you also don't want to exhaust them.
and it should remind people, not of his victimhood, but the thomas paine incite, that we don't have a king. in america, the law is king. what we're seeing in the new york courthouse, however tawdry the narrative around it is, the facts of the case, that doesn't matter. what matters the law itself is supreme. it's not just about the appetites and ambitions of one person. >> lisa, there's more coming in other courtrooms pertaining to donald trump. also today, a hearing in former president trump's civil fraud case. remember that? on friday, new york attorney general letitia james asked a judge to void the bond trump secured so he can appeal the decision. james is questioning whether the company that issued the $175
talking about widening this green energy push and a time where gas prices are clearly going up and when the administration has asked what we are doing to bring them down, they make bunkers and statements like this. this is the energy secretary on "love you" on friday. listen. >> to lower those prices. we have this big tool called the strategic petroleum reserve. he released oil along with convincing our allies around the world to do the same. we put more supply on the ma market. lisa -- the president is watching this. he's obsessed with it. >> sandra: to the point where he has planned to tap emergency reserve to bring gas prices d down. >> robert had me tilde mary end and i am totally with you. we passed out of the house,
it's only a week ago. hard to believe. giving us what you thought were the key impressions. what's your big takeaway here today, lisa? >> there's a bunch of them. chris, sue and i were sitting here listening to rachel talk with you about her impressions. it want to underscore a couple things she said. first of all, the prosecution's opening statement was, as she said, tight, scripted, chronological, methodical in its narrative. the defense was sort of anything but, a bunch of themes tied together very loosely, not presented in any particular order. part of that is to be expected. as the defense you're looking to rebut some of what you've heard from the prosecution. it also speaks to the particular experiences of the lawyers involved. todd blanche who represents former president trump sheer a career former prosecutor. he spent nine years in the southern district of new york at the u.s. attorney's office, the federal prosecution here in
who watched the proceedings live inside the courthouse. i know it has been a long day. thank you very much for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> you are a legal correspondent for us here on msnbc. before that, i know you describe yourself as a recovering lawyer. you are an experienced lawyer. was this is a normal day in court today? >> partially what was extraordinary was how normal it was. i said it was a weird swirl of the mundane and extraordinary throughout the day. we had moments that were blistering in their boringness. even the former president appeared to be bored by them. when jurors were reading off their answers to the jury questionnaire. when someone is not reading the questions to them, it is not the most interesting thing to listen to. there was a lot of argument specific to this case. and to the former president.
