Scandalous

for all the costs, and that could bankrupt me — quite easily. i fear that many other victims of press misconduct are too afraid to fight for their rights because of aggressive newspaper legal teams and our expensive legal system. that's the key. . .strategy that a lot of these newspapers employ to stop these cases coming to court, where they would be subject to real scrutiny. i think it's important to recognise that there are two separate things. there is a criminal investigation into phone hacking. and there is civil proceedings... ..about phone hacking. the criminal investigation into phone hacking ended years ago. and what you have is now an industry whereby anybody who thinks they've got any kind of excuse is trying to get civil damages. the main newspaper groups

Trump Trial Today

that is this trial moving at the pace you expected well honestly, i thought it would take longer to pick a jury and state court, but i admire the way he's handled it. he's moved it along quickly, which is probably the right thing to do in this particular case, the longer it takes a longer people are going to have second thoughts. it's good to get the jury is seated and sworn. i think he did get fairly in every way and i don't think it was overly fast. i think it was thorough, it carefully planned, a good questionnaire. the lawyers had time to ask their questions. so while it was faster than i expected, i don't think he was railroaded and i don't think it's too fast. >> as you know, judge, there's been a lot of scrutiny over juror number 11, who said she doesn't like trump's persona, that she thinks he seems quote, very selfish and self-serving direct quotes were you surprised the judge borussia didn't dismiss her? would you have done so in his shoes? i

should look for sam. the police were doing that too. and me as an outsider, would assume that was a logical thing to do. >> reporter: did you, at any time, make any statement or take any specific action to shield dan from scrutiny or suspicion? >> not in any way. >> reporter: the police and prosecutors do not believe you were honest with them. were you honest with them? >> i was. i know my heart. and god knows my heart. god is in control and god knows i'm innocent. i never tried to help dan. i told the truth to the best of my capability to try to help the police get to the bottom of things. my heart was always in the right police. >> reporter: but they believe that rachel, as an innocent bystander is just the actor

had set in that she simply was not up for this now, it's easy to see why you or me or really anyone could falter under this enormous pressure, the scrutiny and the controversy that comes with any trump trial with opening statements slated to start on monday, the prosecution wants it's witness list to be kept secret. we're not telling him who these witnesses are. the government's top attorney says, because he believes that the second that those names are made public, they'll become victims of a donald trump truth diatribe. a screed like the one that trump gave about the judge moments after he exited court today. >> drought starts and minor, which has long before a lot of vehicle for the judge went to go as fast as possible histories and jennifer, my race former manhattan prosecutor jeremy saland is here to break down the jury box for us. so jeremy, what sticks out to you most people thought, including

she had to explain the internet to the lawyers. that's a meme. she told them. that was the comedy. and this was the tragedy a wave of potential jurors reckoning with the real stakes of surviving a trial where they're every movement is the subjective national scrutiny today, multiple people broke down in court, succumbing to what one woman called high anxiety one perspective jurors sobbed in full view of the court when she was passed the microphone. i'm sorry. i thought i could do this. she said this is so much more stressful than i thought another confessed for the record and for everyone watching that she had a criminal record the judge, summoned her to the bench, listen to the defect as the defendant, donald trump watched merchan then dismissed her but not before pleading with the lawyers and the reporters in the room please be kind to this person. another seemed on the verge of panic, telling the judge that seeds of self-doubt

Alex Witt Reports

republican party, do you think this is a blatant play to donald trump to say look, here's how i voted, i'm still on team trump, i'm following your directive? >> it will be read that way, whether it is or not. i have not heard her explain her vote but i think that is something a lot of people will interpret. she is under scrutiny as a possible vice president running mate for former president trump. so anyone on the list will be careful to make sure they are not doing anything that gets them off the list. >> aaron gilchrist, tell me how the biden administration will react to the passage of the aid to ukraine and israel? >> reporter: i would expect that we would see reaction this weekend from the white house, obviously, this has been going through the process. the president as well as the press secretary and other members of the administration have been speaking about the need to pass this support for ukraine, support for israel, support for taiwan. so i would expect at some point

probably won't feel as intimidated. i think this is a pretty solid jury. the judge in this case is absolutely going to try to keep this jury and protect them the best you can. >> but there's no question that this is going to be very intense, richard, for those jurors and the alternates as well, just yesterday, we saw that two potential jurors were excused they told the judge that the trial was too stressful. one even began crying in the courtroom. so how difficult is this going to be for the jury? how higher the stakes for these 12? well, 18 individuals with the alternates well, the stakes are much higher for mr. trump, but they are there's a tremendous amount of pressure on these jurors. >> they are not only have to face the scrutiny, obviously, their family and some friends probably know they're gonna be on the jury and so there's that social pressure that creates that. also there's internal pressure to try to understand. okay. i've got my opinions. i've got my beliefs, but i've got to somehow set those aside and only focus on the facts and

and you literally cannot miss an hour of testimony because if you do, you are now no longer qualified to deliberate on the case. so you need those alternates the same level of scrutiny you have applied, you have to apply with your alternates. i've tried a bunch of cases and a number of them we've had to rely on alternates even in jury deliberations after that started because something happened during that time and you need to call an alternate in. >> mike johnson wishes for an alternate caucus. tell me about the sandoval hearing. >> sandoval hearing is an opportunity for the defendant to understand what the scope of cross-examination is going to be before he can make an informed decision whether or not he is going to testify. the d.a.'s office -- again, he says he wants to so the d.a.'s office served a notice that lays

it will be practical reasons. after they are seated it will be practical reasons unless something comes to light or discover something on social media or discover something that's very compelling, you won't have it over bias or prejudice. it will be an analysis whether they can serve the remainder of the trial. this will be a very difficult trial. so many people will want to know the identity of these jurors and the level of scrutiny is probably beyond any trial we've had. >> harris: that's unfortunate. as americans at some point in our lives we're called upon to do it and you don't want to put the people in the position they are pressed upon. a forensic view that we needed to have that science lesson on what will happen in the courtroom. thank you very much. have a great weekend. chaos on columbia university's campus after huge anti-israel protests.

Jose Diaz-Balart Reports

individually. i had jury selection last as long as six weeks, though that's rare. normally it takes a day. you don't have it go more than one day. but i say that because here when you look at this makeup, the people that make us nervous as trial lawyers are other attorneys and engineers also make us very nervous. the reason why is because they can say, you know what, i don't agree with this law, but it is still the law and i'm going to follow it. and so you typically want to know more about an individual like that, having one is a threat, here on this jury panel, you have three so far. that's 25% of your jury. >> with limited information we do have, what do you make of the jury so far? >> you know, it is interesting, jose, because the jury selection is purported to be this incredible science and all of the scrutiny. but the end of the day, a lot of it is based on hunches and even stereotypes. assumptions that people have certain world views based on the kind of job they have. we heard engineers or lawyers or people who think about things
