All right, I love being virtue-signaled at 20 minutes into the first show back.

What I think this country needed to see is that a woman can stand toe-to-toe with Donald Trump on a debate stage and eviscerate him, she gave us that moment. I am clear in my mind that she can him on.

There was something chivalrous about Joe Biden saying, you know, if Joe Biden said that and we were in high school I ’d take Joe Biden out back and I ’d kick Joe Biden butt, i thought, Joy Behar know, there’s something about that. Because Joe Biden was also speaking at an event where Joe Biden was encouraging men to stick up for women, not be just bystanders. So I don’t know.

When you have a Mike Pence who now puts this religious veneer on things and who calls people values voters, I think we're in a dangerous situation. Look I'm Catholic. I'm a faithful person, but I don’t know that I want my vice president, um -- speaking in tongues and having Jesus speak to him.

He’s not very popular at all, i think when you have a Mike Pence who now sort of puts this religious veneer on things and calls people ‘values voters,’ I think we’re in a dangerous situation.

We all know the ramifications of nuclear war. by Sunny Hostin

I think you do it and it's something that I tell my girlfriends because ... we also don't need him to go somewhere else, i think that in a marriage you do a lot of things that you may not be in the mood for. Am I really in the mood to cook tonight? Am I really in the mood to listen to your story about work? ... No, and so even if I'm not in the mood, I think that as a friend, as a lover, as a partner, you make sure you get in the mood.

This has never been a whodunit type of case, he has already admitted that he did it.

If he is totally radicalized, gets on the stand and rather than plea for his life, says terrible things, he will die. if he gets on the stand with any type of remorse and plays ball and says, 'He wanted me to do it. I don't believe any of those things,' then there is a slight chance.

It is a very different analysis for the jury. you want to show him as a kid going to school in the United States, somewhat Americanized, that will be in line with the jurors who have children.

She is known for getting to know her clients very well, she is very affectionate and becomes a mother figure for clients.

You will want to put in testimony from his friends, his brother's wife. You almost want to build a character witness.

Body language is significant in a case like this. Juries watch everything that is happening from the lawyers to the defendant's demeanor.

I can't imagine that the jury hasn't been staring at him and trying to answer the question: 'Why would he do something like this?'.

Although the FBI does have some statistics, most people know that those statistics can't even be counted upon, because they are self-reported, so my suggestion has been all along that we need mandatory reporting from our law enforcement agencies around the country and I think that the number of officer shootings involving young black males is actually much higher than is even self-reported. That's something that needs to be part of the conversation.

I had an affinity for criminal law because I came from that background. I understood it. A lot of lawyers of color understand the inequities of the system and become defense attorneys.
