and the particular case though at the centre of this was a woman, trisha melli, 28—year—old white womanone jogging and was very brutally beaten up and raped. and not expected to live. absolutely. i think that really became the crux of the matter because if you can imagine in american history, american criminal history, we have been witnessing anytime a person is accused of rape, even back to the time of emmitt till when they said he had whistled at a white woman, anytime they cry, we die. so the story of lynching in america and the story of legal lynching in america often times is predicated on the premise of a lie. let's go back though because the police took you in the next day, and the five of you made confessions. yours wasn't video taped. but four were. why did you confess to the police? i actually did not confess to the police. that is a misnomer that has been out there, that the police are putting out. and they want that misnomer to be out there because they want to have the public imagine that we, who were victimized, are the ones who were part of our own victimization. tell us

my colleagues mike melly and mary sotomayor said the former vice president is reflective and relaxed, making calls and staying apprised of the state of the race but also preparing to potentially address the nation. my colleague, kristen welker told, if we hear those remarks, they would president come until after he hits 270 and in primetime tonight. really it's going to be a message that weave heard from biden before, themes of unity, staying above partisanship, bridging divides of the things that have so far divided this country, especially in the trump era. those are the themes that biden has ridden to victory here and will certainly espouse if and when he speaks tonight. just overall, this has been an emotional roller coaster for my democratic sources i've talked to over the last three days. you can measure those three days in text messages, cups of coffee, but a lot of anxiety as we continue to see the race tighten and the votes counted. democrats first started on election night feeling pretty skittish about joe biden's chances. i think a lot of them, even though they knew he was
