told opening statement are going to be about 40 minutes and defense about 20 is keeping it short better it really it's it's a real strategic decision. anniston and i knew i know susan necklace is one of the attorneys here and she's a masterful lawyer i mean, i'm sure they've spoken about this. >> i'm sure they've vetted it. i'm sure they've done a little moot arguments you know, my approach is to really go hard in the opening statement. years ago, the new york times did a study and jurors found that 80% of jurors found that whatever they thought the verdict was going to be after the openings was their verdict, 80% so i looked at opening statements as an a tremendous opportunity to really swayed juries over to your side or they're just hold on. >> i want to get some more information from inside the court. what are you hearing? >> so we don't have too many updates beyond just talking
that smell could be 8 million odor causing bacteria good thing, adding lysol, laundry sanitizer kills 99.9% of bacteria that detergents leave behind clean is good sanitized is better new projects means new project managers. >> you need to hire indeed, you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist of quality candidates whose resumes on indeed match your job sub-criteria. visit indeed.com slash higher and get started today at st. jude, the mission is just something that everyone can truly get behind. >> it are a little they're on the bridge, were just regular people donating. and i think it's cool to be able to make a difference in someone's lives in a way that is meaningful. so it's the playoffs, great teammates trust each other. we're going to do a trust standup trust. >> what you said we have dark. >> i told you here's a dummy
>> but they've been trying really hard to re-brand this case that everyone dub the hush money case instead, trying to reframe it as a case about the rule of law and whether trump broke it to help his chances in 2016? >> then the defense will have a chance to go. we've learned that their statement will likely be a little on the shorter sayyed would've been told the themes of their case, they're going to be look, there was no crime. trump is not involved at paperwork at this level. michael cohen was working for him doing legal work at the time in question, and since then, he is someone who now has a vendetta against trump and he's a convicted good liar. >> but i said that's what should happen to issues that we might have to deal with at the top of this hearing. the first is whether there's any other issue with the jury we saw last week one juror decided she couldn't do this. >> she just wasn't willing to risk to take the risks that are involved in this kind of work. and then we also saw another juror who are lawyers moved to remove from the case. so there's a possibility some other jurors may reconsider whether they're really willing
that there are people following us and they shrug their shoulders and then people are coming ought saying we don't want no zionists here. they say they love hamas. they're getting in our face. it's insane. >> reporter: and that is frightening. and it's not just the campus that's behind this metal fence here but there are apartments where columbia students reside. and this particular student was saying, so his question of safety goes beyond those particular walls that are behind that metal fence. it is very difficult for them. and they're really looking for resolution. >> and i know that there have been some lawmakers there today. i understand the president, president biden, just spoke about this. >> reporter: he did. i want to read a little of what em. the president said i condemn the anti-semitic protests and that's
plan. i mean, you all are facing this crisis and the border every single day. you know what it takes, you know the resources you need. just what is the plan? those details are rarely ever laid out or given to you? >> and that's what it is to be frustrating like i said back those before but all he wanted to do was bring them up to the floor, look at them and make amendments do you can make amendments and fix but [inaudible] but here we are [inaudible] we have a bill that only covers overseas and completely ignores americans as law enforcement on the line, our borders. is a complete slap in the face with everybody on the border. >> sandra: art, if you could, with so much news that is happening over the country and no with it being a presidential election year, were all over the place, coming out of the protest in the former presidents' trial happening here in manhattan, you know, our eyes are a little of the board at the
works, he's going by the name of micro. how pleased are you "wall street journal" comes out with the story to reveal maybe you're making a difference? >> maybe and for sure. i'm not ready for the victory that sure but blue-collar jobs, i'm here to tell you the color of colors is no longer the thing it used to be. white-collar, blue-collar, they still storm exist but with the text we are talking about and other changes, i just don't get matters. that's why i am wearing a blue shirt. they can elect. >> it's roomy a little.
