5:09 pm
gunshot blasted windows to that store, and then as i started to, you know, rotate around and observe the next thing i noticed was in an alcove area where there was a landscaped flower bed if you will, i noticed in front of it was a woman who had, you know, collapsed on top of herself and had perished there. then i turned around or turned, you know, turned my gaze toward the left and i noticed a gentleman there who was i guess for lack of a better word writhing in pain. he had what appeared to be a shoulder wound. he was actually in the flower bed. there was a young child, you know, my guess at the time was between 6 and 8 years old that was lying there. her state was unknown but did not look promising. and then next to her was an
5:10 pm
adult woman who had multiple, multiple, vicious gunshot wounds. she had a, the head of a young lady draped on her left shoulder facing downward who also appeared to have multiple, very traumatic injuries and gunshot wounds. then at the foot of that young lady was basically a pile with a man on top, who was again writhing in pain with what appeared to be a shoulder or chest wound. and below him was a deceased woman that come later to find out was his wife. then he had a young child with him, maybe 5 or 6 years old, that was just drenched in blood. i mean, the color of whatever fabric he was wearing was nearly

5:23 pm
which her attorneys allege a pattern of behavior from the former president over the years and sought to reinforce it with video from his deposition. the defense presented no case. both sides did give closing arguments. what did they say in the closing arguments? >> reporter: so e. jean carroll's attorneys were up first and they said to the jury, look who is not here. donald trump is a no show in this civil rape and defamation trial. they said to the jury, you should look that he did not come here and say to your face and deny that these allegations that he had raped carroll. told the jury they should hold it against the former president and said also they should look at the video deposition trump had given last october. the jury saw a lot of that deposition, about 48 minutes of it over two days of the trial. they said that trump was a witness against himself. what they meant was the portion of the testimony where trump is shown a black and white photo of him with e. jean carroll a few years before the alleged assault
5:24 pm
and in the deposition trump mistakenly thinks e. jean carroll is his second wife marla maples. that is why carroll's attorney says it shows e. jean carroll was in fact donald trump's type. they also played the access hollywood tape repeatedly to the jury on closing and they say trump is telling you in an unguarded moment what he really thinks about women. they called the video a confession. they also said in order for the jury to find for trump they would have to believe everyone else who testified at this trial was lying. that includes the two women who testified for carroll, saying she confided in them in the mid 1990s and also the two other women who came forward and said trump sexually assaulted them. those people's testimony carroll's attorneys argued was part of a pattern of trump's behavior. trump's lawyer spoke for more than two hours during his closing arguments and said that carroll's lawyers want the jury to hate trump enough to ignore the facts. he also said there were many pieces of carroll's testimony in her story that they said was
5:25 pm
just unbelievable. pointing to how she testified there was no one in the department store the night of the alleged rape. that, you know, calling it inconceivable she would have had her purse in her hands and her tights wouldn't be ripped while she was being violently assaulted. he argued to the jury the two friends she confided in were part of a conspiracy colluding with carroll to try to get trump out of office because they didn't like him and that carroll was seeking both fame and money by bringing this lawsuit. you know, and then that was kind of the summing up of all the testimony today in the case. both sides giving their best arguments to the jury. >> so they are expected to get it tomorrow? >> reporter: yeah. that's right. first thing in the morning the judge will instruct the jury on the law, telling them what carroll's side needs to prove in order to find trump liable. of course the burden of proof is with carroll. the standard as a civil case is not the same as a criminal case, just more likely than not that
5:26 pm
the, trump both, you know, raped or sexually assaulted carroll and the defamation claim also has a different standard, one of clear and convincing evidence. so when the judge lays out what the jury needs to find they will then begin deliberations. we expect deliberations to start maybe around 11:00 a.m. eastern and the jury will take as long as they need until they reach a verdict. >> thank you. with me now is a former federal prosecutor jessica roth now a professor at the school of law. talking about the access hollywood tape and the deposition tape played for the jury, in that deposition tape trump was asked about the "access hollywood" tape and he doubled down on it essentially. he didn't just give the oh, it's a locker room thing which is what the campaign worked out initially to kind of, you know, push it to the side. he doubled down saying stars for millions of years, not that there were stars millions of years ago but that is what he basically said have been able to

5:28 pm
we don't know what is going to happen tomorrow but in my mind that was a moment that could lose a jury if there was a jury, any juror holding on for him. >> how important are closing arguments in a case usually? >> very important. that is the lawyer's opportunity to sum up all the evidence in the case and really argue it to the jury. openings are supposed to be a little bit more matter of fact. right here is our preview of what we expect the evidence will show. they are not supposed to be as argumentative. closing arguments is when you really get to argue your case. at that point all the evidence is in so you know exactly what the witnesses said, what the exhibits are. and you can put it together in a way that robby caplan did very effectively with the chart showing the similarities between the allegations of sexual assault by the different women, the two other women who allege trump assaulted them in semi public spaces and how consistent the accounts were not only with e. jean carroll's account but also what trump said in that "access hollywood" video about how he just moves on women, right? he can't control himself and he just grabs them by their

genitals. the consistency of those accounts and of that essential modus operandi is extraordinary. >> he said he started by kissing women, just do it and you get away with it. given that this is a civil case what are the potential penalties? this is not a criminal case. >> no. this is all about financial penalties. a judgment of what amount he should pay in damages so there was an expert who testified for e. jean carroll trying to give an estimate of what it would cost to repair her reputation. i believe the range given was something in the high 300s thousands of dollars to something like $2 million. the jury is not bound by that and can also award punitive damages. it is up to the jury what they think is a reasonable and proportionate amount. >> if they felt the rape had occurred and he had been disparaging her punitive damages might even escalate? >> yes. >> based on that. >> so i think that is going to be perhaps the most interesting part of the jury deliberations
5:30 pm
tomorrow is to say if they all agree fairly quickly on whether to hold him liable, if they do, then they would move on to damages, so that is the question of how do they come up with those numbers? >> appreciate it. thank you very much. next the perilous ride many migrants are taking north through mexico. a new estimate on how many tens of thousands of migrants are now at or near the u.s. border as authorities prepare for a surge coming in just several days they say. purple is different. soft and firm, in all your right places. the gelflelex grid keeps you cool, while sleep does it's scientifically proven thing. risese sharper, happier, an overnight success. was also the first time your profits left you speechless. at theounter or on the go, save 20% with the lowest transaction fees start saving today at godaddy.com

agencies bracing for a sudden influx of migrants at the southern border when pandemic era restrictions which made it easier to send them back to mexico expires thursday. the number could top 150,000 according to a source familiar with the federal estimates. >> reporter: at the u.s. southern border the struggle is constant. the illegal crossings like this one really tough to watch. having already clawed through the barbed wire you could see this young woman frustrated, exhausted, trying to help the other trapped in a web of sharp metal at the texas border. from above you might think they're the only two crossing this day. but the clothes dangling along the miles and miles of fencing say otherwise. for many migrants fleeing countries like venezuela, nicaragua, cuba, and others, this is the final stop before trying to claim asylum in the u.s. >> can they wait in places like
5:35 pm
this? you see the sidewalk full of an encampment, different tents. >> reporter: we've seen thousands flooding the streets in shelters of this mexican border town. this 22-year-old woman, her husband, and their 4-year-old little girl camped out here for three months already. she says they're going to cross but she doesn't want to do it illegally. she wants to do it the right way. you don't know when? >> reporter: in recent weeks the u.s. government rolled out an updated cbp-1 app allowing migrants north of mexico city to register digitally for a limited number of interview spots with asylum officers. no one we've talked to has been able to secure an appointment yet. she is not sure she'll ever get one. she lost her phone in a fire a few weeks back. but she and others tell me they've come too far to turn around. her young daughter carries the marks to prove it.
5:36 pm
she says she has some burns, still, on her face from the sun. from being on top of the train. >> reporter: the journey to jaurez from southern mexico is hundreds of miles so many ride the rails north on top of freight trains. we caught up with one just as it was arriving into juarez. migrants right on top here. many have made the journey on this train alone for more than eight hours. he said there were 12 hours on the train. he said it was so cold everything felt like ice. his whole family here and he says now they're going to stay a night, get cleaned up, and prepare to cross into the u.s. but leonardo's mom is terrified to climb down.
5:37 pm
her loved ones at first encouraging then telling her, let's go. part of the train journey north for some is on what is called the beast or the train of death. a ride dangerous and deadly and often controlled by cartels. hours making this treacherous trek is scarring. but imagine days onboard. she says they were four days on this train. she said it was horrible. really cold. four kids, his wife, four and a half days on the train. [ speaking in non-english ] he says it is for american dream. they're going to try to cross today. another 25 miles under the hot sun to the border from here. precious cargo carried on
5:38 pm
shoulders, and in hand. most end up where we started, at the barbed wire. the added barrier rolled out in recent months by the texas national guard. it does not stop the crossings. it does slow them a bit. the young woman uses her jacket to create a gap while the other tosses through it bottles of water and a backpack. their only belongings. a quick hug and they hurry along likely to turn themselves in to u.s. officials. more will follow. >> joining us now from mexico, what is next for the two women we saw going through the barbed wire fencing? do you know how title 42 expiring on thursday might impact others like them? >> reporter: technically they are in the u.s. because they made it through the barbed wire fencing, which is the same you see behind me. yet not into the u.s. on the other side of the border wall. but they are on u.s. territory.
5:39 pm
in their state of kind of limbo it almost becomes a refugee camp behind me. you see hundreds of folks just on this portion of the wall waiting to be processed. now, a lot of these folks, here is what is really interesting. they tell me they are no longer looking a the schedule. when we'd speak to folks back in december they'd say we're waiting for it to end and potentially we'll have an opportunity. they've seen so much back and forth on u.s. policy they just say we are on our own schedule and if it happens to lift by the time we get to cross great if not we'll try again and again. we talked to folks who have made multiple attempt and some say they'll figure out how to go in undetected. it is desperation and determination at this point. >> thank you. up next univision anchor jorge ramos' take on the situation and measures to address it. he's alright... i love watching ththe game with you. call 1-800-directv t to get a $200 reward card.
