so it apparently the star witness is so a prosecutor has to do this and they have to be very careful that they don't get up because then it looks secure hiding something. the other side of the coin is try to keep the defense from getting the territory that they may choose run into them up the matter what is the topic back to me from the gallery is they're not getting very far i don't think the jury has any idea who john harris is what is the strategy here? with the defense cannot not just to get john harris because he will be to clean this witness that the government has i think what they should try to do is show that john harris does not dirty yet the governor because he's not showing any crime has ever been committed with the defense has to do is try to get past

with the government says is an attempt at a crime is crime versus the fact that all blagojevich was doing in the case was talking and was blabbering a lot but never actually did anything. he never said anything truly incriminating in that sense. . >> the government has not made the case on any level regardless of the charge talking about the selling of u.s. senate seat or shaking up a racetrack owner they have not made a case yet . >> i'm not saying that and all. i'm saying the government has in their opening statements can convince the jury that will become governor has said what he said is an actual attempt at a crime if they can do that taking a victim but the defense shows all he did this palaver and that is what the governor and state does and all he was dealing with was what is called plus a

political horsetrading then the defense have a shot at it it is not as clear-cut the way they did before was was the fact that coming down to the question of intent and there is a long ways to go but that's going to be the thing that these 12 jurors it is calling upon to decide whether not the governor intended to cause a crime. if that is it. . >> and never clede to be a lawyer in india this but think for putting some perspective in this have to remember that the jury who's listening with one year and people of myself looking at it like another but their other lawyers in this room who have agendas of their own as well. it is not over yet and generous is still on the stand today. . >> think if that report. counseling is next with the full forecast.
