2:03 pm
captivated by daily debates over dna edence, police, procure, and dramatic moments may he'd for tv, if it doesn't fit, you must acquit when the verdict came down, not guilty of the crime of murder. >> my >> one estimate, 150 million people watched live many splitting along racial lines over whether the ruling was just or just wrong >> it's just i'm >>assi civil suit by the victims famies didot go as ordered to pay ts of millions damages he lost his house and heisman, buthureds of thousands and pension funds are >>amy israteful for a verdict of responsibily, which is all we ever wted. >> simpson had future legal problems two, in 2007, he was arrest after an armed robbery involving sports memorabilia, he said was his i'm sorry. >> i didn't mean to steal anything from anybody and i
2:04 pm
didn't know i was doing anything illegal. >> he wound up convicted and sentenced to 33 years in prison. he was paroled in 2017. and through it all, he maintained his innocence in the murders that changed his life. and american society too, right now, i'm at a point in my life. well, i want to do is spend time with my as much time as i can with my children and my friends and i've done my time >> i'm sure in so many ways, the brown and goldman families will say they've done their time too, because they've had to watch all these years of attention on simpson after that not guilty verdict, and to be sure, because of his pensions and the way they settled the for setup, he did not live in poverty. he was able to make a decent living for the rest of his lifeevenhough many ople on america always felt thverdt was unjust and could never get past that pot. >> jak >> all right. tom. form. and thankso much. let's bring and cncontributor bob costas. bob, what's your reaion to simpsons death when you heard the news today? what did you
2:05 pm
think? >> well, you can imagine someone who has such starkly different first and second chapters in their lives. the first chapter was entirely glorious, and the second, no matter how glorious and no matter how accomplished that, mhow much popularity in the first chapter, the second chapter there is going to be near the top of all the obituaries. it'll be in the first paragraph. it'll be something like oj simpson, heisman trophy winner 2000 yard rusher in the nfl, member of the pro football hall of fame, beloved television personality and commercial pitch man whose life fell apart when he was accused of the murder of his his ex-wife and her friend. that's the way that first pair of paragraph's going to be everywhere. and i can't think of a starker contrast when you look back at the life of any prominent american so you knew simpson for years. i mean, he was that glorious figure for decades. you were friends with him at one point yes. tell me
2:06 pm
what your reaction was when you first heard in 1994 that he was he was a suspect in the death of his wife and her friend. >> yeah, my first reaction when i think it was on a monday when we heard about it my first reaction was, oh, my godwhat a terribleragedy. four oj and his mily, then as the thing ben to play out, you heard he was a suspect and theny friday of that weethey we asking for his arrest and he was fleeing and he had been termed augitive fromustice at that point. so at that point, youegin to thk there's good rson to believe that hwas somehow invoed. nolet me sayhis just as background oj simpson wasn't ju famoufoball player likable guy that kd of guy m. who woulremember theame the intern who broughtou coffee when you got to the set on a sunday morning, the cover football, which we did together for four or five years on nbc,
2:07 pm
i had dinner with for the many times he came to charity events at my request, we played golf. he was a hail fellow. well met. >> that contradictory aza may seem, doesn't point toward his innocence when all of the factors and all of the evidence would taken into account as you've laid out in the last hour very capably there was an intersection here of all kinds of dynamics. the history of racial injustice involving african-americans in this country, the specific issue of the past behavior of the lapd and the feelings that african american citizens might have remain true. and oj simpson can still be guilty. you know, the the dna evidence with which barry shack and the innocence project have used to free hundreds of wrongly accused
2:08 pm
americans. mosof them african americans, to exonerate them, which is noble work. the truth is that, thadna evidence pointed toward oj simpson's guil not innocence, but all the overlapping factors and the cellent work done by his dream team of torneys was able to too obscure that essel fact. >> 're >> all the social issues t helped to exonerate oj, ue? yes. >> but as >>he evidence the case itself, something that exonerates him. >> it must have been so other worldly foyou watch somedy who it soundsike was a frie and somebody who your relationship was, that he was this wonderful, generous guy. and then you hear all this evidence and see pictures of her, accordingo her sister, f and then come to t conclusion that in your vie your friend did this
2:09 pm
>> yeah. >> i was inclined to give him the benefit of any dbt and remember he was not as beaumont e. jones said earlier, he was noa typical african american person standing charged for a crime. he hahis celebrity, he had his enormous popularity. you had the resources to have a great defense team, but he somehow beme an avatar in e minds of many for all ofhese other ongoing centuries old issu tt are very legimate issues. and he actually we beted from somof that if i could give him the benefit of any ubt, i would and i'm sorry to have to say this on the day that he passed away. but someone asked me once, do you think oj did it? i said yes they said why. and i said because i live on this planet >> yeah, it just >> the evidence just adds up to nothing else. and i hope i'm not going on too long here, jake, but this might be of interest i found myself on a
2:10 pm
plane a few years after the verdicts found myself on a plane sitting next to johnnie coran, whad never met, but we recognize each other. he sat at the window and i was on the aisle and we made small talk mostly about sports. and that is the plane was descending. i said, i know johnny, you have to deal with this constantly. so i just want to ask you a question. just this one question did it surprise you that the prosecution didn't in their closing arguments make this point of all the african americans you can think of why would the lapd, whatever issues we may have with them, why would they have been interested in framing oj simpson of all people? and if they did did frame him, they would have to know if he was an innocent man, wouldn't they have to know that he didn't have an airtight alibi as they put all this stuff together on the spot, wouldn't they have to know that there's no possibility he was in philadelphia or chicago and had an airtight alibi or if someone else actually did it, that they
2:11 pm
might not show up with blood all over their clothes in a bus depot in fresno someplace, how would you know if you had the most malign intentions? how could you, in that moment put all that stuff together and not know that it wouldn't fall apart upon the discovery of other facts that makes no sense. johnnie cochran then said to me i wanted why they didn't do that myself. but i'm glad they didn't and then i said given everything, it might not have made any difference. and jonny said, bob, i didn't create the facts of the case. i just worked with them and i said and brilliantly. and then with a handshake, we parted company bob costas. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you, jake, >> coming up, why a foundation refused to honore former congresswoman liz cheney and the protest resignation that came up at plus comedian conan o'brien is here to talk about his big new tv venture. but first donald trump it's running out of options as he faces his first criminal trial next week, can he do anything to delay the

>> her firm only represents mesothelioma victims and their families. if you or a loved one who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, call us now back with our law and justice lead. it has now passed 5:00 p.m. eastern, which means former president donald trump, his legal team could not muster their fourth attempt this week to come up with a legal method to delay monday's historic trial. the new york hush money trial. that's part sex scandal, part 2016 election interference case and the first-ever criminal trial of a former us president. let's get right to the lead star legal analyst elie honig, le. is there anything trump lawyers can do at this point? it's thursday, so there's still friday, saturday, sunday before monday's jury selection hey, jake, today was a notable de know last minute adjournment requests? no emergencies, no appeals, no motions for r0 r0 >> reconsideration, maybe they've seen the writing on the wall that this thing is going on monday. now, the only things they can theoretically
2:17 pm
do is first of all, try to ask new york's highest court the, court, of appeals to take a look at some of these appeals which were already rejected and maybe in the farthest off scenario to ask the us supreme court to get involved. any such effort though is doomed, both in terms of substance. he's gotten nothing here in terms of his arguments and in terms of procedure and in terms of timing, we are under 100 hours away from the start of jury selection. and i think this thing is going. >> trump has not won any of these efforts, but is there any harm to trump's legal team's credibility it in terms of the judge and asking for delays yeah so there's two ways to look at this. you could look at this strictly from a utilitarian sort of gain theory point of view of, well, if you're trump's team and you lost before, might as well ask again if you lose, you're just back to where you weren't before. nothing lost. but i don't take that view. i take the real life view having been in courtrooms that when you're a lawyer and you go in front of a judge, your credibility is precious. and if you are bringing motions that you've already lost on, that have next to no basis, next to no merit, you will lose your credibility
2:18 pm
and believe me that we'll come back to haunt you. there will be times throughout this trial when you're going to need the judge to trust you, you're going to need the judge to give you the benefit of the doubt. and i think by making these motions that they've made over this past week, trump's lawyers have really given away some of that crucial credibility. >> in a piece you have publishing tomorrow in new york magazine and the cafe law blog, you're going to argue that this case is roar shack test borussia trial. you call it explain so jake, there's a couple of ways you can look at this trial, both of which are completely accurate. you can look at this as an eight-year-old paperwork offense on a case that the famously aggressive fed's across the street turned down. we're we're looking at either a misdemeanor or a low felony where the star witness is a convicted perjurer, or you can look at this as an attempt to interfere with the 2016 election to hide information from the american voters. and i think the facts here are largely not going to be in dispute. however, the payments made, who did what, who had what conversations with who? i
2:19 pm
think the central struggle that we're about to see between the lawyers is convincing the juror of which categorization is more accurate and more fair. and i think they're going to be aiming for the jurors brains. of course, but it always comes down to that got and the heart as well. >> there's also been a bit of a branding war about this case. we often refer to it as a hush money case, as do many others in the news media. but the district attorney's office, they call it election interference because trump and their view was trying to hide information from voters before they cast ballots in 26 skiing what do you think is the best way to describe the case >> well, neither of those are fully akre. i usually call it the hush money case as well because it's an easy shorthand, but hush money is not the crime here. it's really important to know the crime is falsifying business records. on the other hand, it's a reach i think to say 2016 election interference the charges falsifying business records in order to commit campaign finance violations. it's a leap from campaign finance violations to trying to steal an election. >> all right. elie honig, thanks so much. >> conan >> o'brien is here at our cnn

>> every step covered >> i'm pete muntean. it reagan national airport. this is cnn >> in our national lead quote please leave our house. a graduation dinner at the home of the university of california berkeley law school's dean on tuesday devolved into an ugly incident. a palestinian american berkeley law student who was invited to the dinner, picked up a microphone and stood before the gathering uninvited. listen to what happened next. >> i had attorney is after we have okay. you don't have to guess at our house right? no >> the student claims that dean erwin chemerinsky is wife, professor katherine fisk assaulted her when fiske, prior to take the microphone away from her after after that
2:25 pm
moment at fisk home, the students said the university of california school system good divest from israel ultimately is that's what she was going to say. she says the incidents have sparked huge debate online about free speech and anti-semitism and protests and much more adjourning at joining us now uc berkeley law school dean erwin chemerinsky de chemerinsky. let me also start with the fact that the speaker in that clip as the co president of a group called law students for justice in palatine palestine. and that group put this poster out on social media days before the event at your home. the poster was also placed on bulletin boards and the law school building. it depicts a caricature of you holding a bloody knife and fork, the one we're showing right now doesn't have the blood on it maybe they redid it with the words in large letters, no dinner with zionist cham, while gaza starves. now you wrote in a statement after that appeared on social media. i never thought i would see such blatant antisemitism with an image that invokes the horrible anti-semitic trope of blood libel. and that attacks me for
2:26 pm
no apparent reason other than i am jewish so just to be clear, because i want to understand what's happening here. not that anything would justify an anti-semitic poster, but just to be clear, are you out there supporting what netanyahu's doing in gaza? are you because your wife says that she agrees with the students when it comes to what's going on in gaza you think, you think you're being targeted only because you're jewish >> i've said nothing in support of yahoo is doing and israel and actually said nothing in any public forum about what's going on with regard to gaza >> the students >> weren't attacking me for anything that i've said and the only thing that they were saying is that the law schools should do that the law school has no investments. the university of california makes all the investments for all the schools. so it's hard thing to see any reason why they're coming after me. other than that i was jewish do you think it's difficult? we've covered anti-semitism at berkeley a
2:27 pm
lot. it feels like in the last six months, including the berkeley on the campus of berkeley and berkeley high schools, et berkeley city council meetings, et cetera. do you find it difficult to be jewish at berkeley today do not feel safe i feel completely say the reality is that the overwhelming number of students in the los going to campus are >> going about being students. the lost been suggested, the palestine is a very small group in the law school and on campus. and i think it is so important that no one generalizes from veer anti-semitic speech and actions >> what was your reaction when you saw that social media post from this from this group, which has you with a bloody knife and fork and they call you a zionist. you're a renowned constitutional law professor and it's interesting because you've said that there's a difference in terms of free-speech between that social media image and what happened at your home explain
2:28 pm
how you view that i found the image and knee with a bloody knife and fork deeply offensive. it does raise the anti-semitic trope of blood libel. >> but >> i also took the position that they had the right to put it out and bulletin boards around the school many students and staff, jewish and non-jewish said that it made them feel unsafe, but i said under the first amendment, they have the right to put those things on bulletin boards. but when something is happening at my house, that's quite different we invited the graduating students over its request to the class presidents to celebrate their graduation when a student took out of a backpack, a microphone, and an amplifier, and began talking about what's going on in the middle east. that's not okay. in my home. no one was speaking that night. it wasn't in any way and occasion for anything but socializing and celebration and was your reaction and your wife's reaction rooted in the
2:29 pm
fact that this group had posted this image of you, at least in part i'm sure for both of us, part of the reaction is what preceded it in the last week and what's proceeded in the last six months. but i have to tell you that when the student got up and with the microphone amplifier and began talking about will anon in the middle east. my reaction was this is a party, this is my house. please stop. please leave >> all right. berkeley >> law school, dean chemerinsky. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you >> the new travel show launching by iconic comedian conan o'brien, who will join me in studio next >> i'm jeff zeleny on the campaign trail in omaha in this is cnn. >> it's hard to explain what this feels like moving miles of earth toeing up to 4,000 pounds
