Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

which he had to pay time for will be central to this case against donald trump. >> i think michael cohen is likely to be a wash here, in that he's going to put in a lot of good evidence for the prosecution and really serve as a narrator, but he's going to be cross-examined aggressively. they're going to go after him, his credibility, his motives here, the fact that he has a book called "revenge." they'll likely him being a pivotal witness is unlikely. he's going to be a narrator. with jurors, you're not just telling a broad story. you have to meet each element. every time, what would a reasonable person think in looking at this? what would be the reasonable question they would have about a piece of evidence? what would be expected corroboration. it's in those details, those small witnesses that corroborate, not necessarily what happened, but just that somebody was in the building.

Forensic Files II

narrator: in the spring of 2018, the suspected golden state killer was finally arrested, accused in a crime spree that had terrorized california for almost a generation. what ultimately brought him to justice was a new type of forensic technology. the golden state killer suspect was arrested thanks to genetic genealogy. narrator: genetic genealogy is an offshoot of the consumer genomics boom that started in 2013, when people began using dna and the web to explore their family histories. the purpose of traditional genetic genealogy is to identify our long-dead ancestors. narrator: and it turns out it can also be used to solve crimes. the dna databases used by consumers don't operate

Forensic Files II

a man collecting cans in a rural area about 80 miles from seattle found the body of a young woman. she had been shot execution-style in the back of the head. a .380-caliber shell casing was nearby. plastic zip ties, presumably used to restrain the victim, were found near the body. all indications were she had been raped. narrator: family members identified the victim as tanya van cuylenborg. we were, you know, just dumbstruck with grief of the fact that this was the end result for tanya. i mean, we were just bewildered. narrator: for now, the big question was, where was jay? the answer came 48 hours later, on thanksgiving day. when jay's body was found, there was a ligature around his neck of twine and dog collars. he had tissue and a pack of cigarettes stuffed down his throat,

as were even the police, whether they were from the murderer or not. narrator: the letters were handwritten with no apparent attempt at concealment. detectives hoped this bizarre cat-and-mouse game might finally lead them to who killed jay and tanya. there was some hope by investigators that maybe this was it. maybe this was the break that they had been waiting for. ♪

narrator: when detectives finally located the van jay and tanya had driven from canada, they were hopeful evidence in the van would point to the killer. that same day, near a tavern a short distance from the van, police found personal items belonging to tanya. detectives now had four separate crime scenes -- the spots where tanya and jay's bodies were found, jay's van, and the tavern. there were components of each crime scene that were connected both to jay and tanya but also from scene to scene. narrator: the key items were ammunition for a .380-caliber firearm, which was consistent with the gun used to kill tanya, a partial palm print lifted from jay's van that didn't match either jay or tanya or any of jay's family,

in the same way as law-enforcement databases like codis. moore: in codis, you're looking for that exact match, but in genetic genealogy, we can go way beyond that and use those hundreds of thousands of markers to predict second, third, fourth cousins and beyond. narrator: however, there are serious concerns about law enforcement having access to the dna of people who have never committed a crime. that problem can be resolved if people are told their dna is going to databases used by police, which is exactly what a company called gedmatch did. gedmatch posted a notification on their site alerting their users that law enforcement was using the database, and that was what i needed to allow me to finally make the decision to help law enforcement. narrator: in 2018, investigators took the dna profile from jay and tanya's case

reached out to jay and tanya's families. the families received handwritten notes and cards from a person claiming to have been involved in the murder of jay and tanya, taunting the families, and these were letters that were postmarked from various cities, from new york to l.a. to seattle. one of the letters reads, "dear mr. cook, as someone who instinctively hates all canadians, i couldn't pass up the opportunity to kill jay and tanya." they go on to say, "i'll do it again if another opportunity presents itself." narrator: if this was the killer, detectives were at a loss as to why he'd risk exposure just to torment the families, especially since it didn't appear the killer even knew the victims. van cuylenborg: they were very disturbing, of course. they were written in a manner to be to be unsettling, which they were because we were all uncertain,

and put it into the gedmatch system. moore: what i'm looking at is a list of people who share significant amounts of dna with the unknown suspect. i'm hoping to get people who share around 3% of their dna or higher. that would be second cousins. narrator: once these distant relatives of a possible suspect were identified, cece moore turned to more traditional methods -- things like public records and obituary pages. so, in this way, i'm reverse-engineering the family tree of the suspect from the people's family trees that he shares dna with. narrator: in jay and tanya's murder case, high-tech -- genetic genealogy -- and low tech -- searches of public records -- led investigators to a seattle-based family with four children. three of those children were female, so i knew they couldn't be the suspect, and there was only one son, so there was only one person
