a compelling case. these motions are rarely won. a victory in terms of increasing the likelihood of winning the case of getting a not guilty? that's a bit of a mixed bag, that's hard to say, because the strongest criminal case it doesn't matter where the prosecution puts it on, a jury biased against the defendant or a jury that's never heard of the defendant, so arguably if this is a less biased jury against the defendant the prosecution still needs to meet their case burden of beyond a reasonable doubt, they seem to believe that they can do that. >> danny the trial location may be different, but all the ascension is going to be same how much does this actually change things for the prosecutors and the defense. >> not so much of jury pool, what the defense has done is taken away the prosecution's

homefield advantage. they can walk within a matter of feet to the courtroom, they have the homefield advantage, this totally takes that away. not an insignificant victory for that reason. it's a big deal. >> danny, thank you. still ahead, growing outrage over the police detex of a miami dolphins football star just hours before yesterday's season opener. you're watching "nbc news daily." >> we're also streaming free 24/7 on nbc news now. 24/7 on nbc news now. watch us wherever you ( ♪♪ ) asthma. it can make you miss out on those epic hikes with friends. step back out there with fasenra. fasenra is an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks.

theories and way to combat that growing threat and it's great to see you again. important to note that first you didn't write this book to kind of shame people or make people feel badly about beinged a hearns to qanon. talk about the families that you spoke with. >> this book answered the question of so many americans were pulling down this rabbit hole. how can ordinary people go to these extreme lengths. the book tells the story of five families who were torn apart by these belief systems from all different walks of life. we got a wealthy, very educated privileged lawyer. we got a mother who grew up in extreme hardship and poverty.

an elderly woman. even a former bernie sanders supporter. so many different pathways into this mindset. >> talk to us about per per vassive. >> you may not hear the word qanon any more time, it's just blended in, these conspiracy theories have been normalized. what was once considered fringe is in mainstream, it's no to only causing political chaos but social chaos. families are falling apart. >> i wanted to ask about the family members who in the book are desperately trying to tell

their family member that this isn't true, this isn't the truth, you write, truth is almost beside the point. what do you mean. >> conspiracy theorists love to call themselves truth seekers. but what i found again and again in my reporting truth isn't what they're after, espousing conspiracy theories, it makes us feel good, make feel have a sense of purpose and agency, sense of belonging. so that's why fact-checking and debunking it's not about the truth. >> how should family member who may see their loved one falling into this, how do they combat it? >> to get someone out of the conspiracy theories, if they're lacking a sense of purpose,

being a so-called digital soldier that's where you want to start. not bombarding them with facts. find purpose outside of qanon. ideally offline, once they can fulfill that need that's when this will fall away. >> an incredible book.

to fix their window. consumer investigator chris chmura helped clear things up for them. let me let you meet jim and jill. they sent us this photo of themselves, plus a picture showing how one of their home windows just wasn't sealing, right? doing something weird, right there. that window had a 20 year warranty, which is right here. so they filed a claim, but

eight months later, no update. so they contacted us. we contacted cornerstone building brands. cornerstone then installed this brand new window, which you can see straight through. the way it's supposed to be. jim and jill didn't have to pay a penny. the company told us the warranty on this discontinued product has been honored and this claim has been completed. jim wrote us and said, i would like to thank you for all your help because this would not have been possible without it. we were happy to help and we're happy jim saved their paperwork. follow jim's lead and save your warranties and register them when manufacturers require it. after all, the cost of that warranty is probably baked into the price you pay. if a company isn't seeing your case clearly, well, maybe we can help snap the qr code on screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form online. nice new window. nice new window. thank you. chris. get all the day's news on our
