. >> let's bring in msnbc's chief legal correspondent ari melber to try and break this down for us. first, were you surprised by the verdict? and try to explain to us, iej not a legal person. not guilty on felony sexual assault. guilty on misdemeanor sexual assault. what is the difference. >> to your first question i was not surprised by this verdict. the prosecution had a hard time getting beyond that high bar, beyond a reasonable doubt, to prove and demonstrate that this was definitely non consensual. why? because evidence was introduced at trial showing this young woman, who was 15 years old at the time a girl, had said to other people after the fact that it was consensual. that kind of disagreement in your testimony can exist and you can still think something. you are allowed to be confused in life but not in law when you have to go beyond a reasonable doubt. that really undercut part of the prosecution's case. what we saw today the breaking news the jury obviously not feeling that carried the day. to your second question, what else is going on the here, basically the most of th

i'm ari melber here. we're covering the final hour from all angles. right now the dow down 600 points with 1 hour to the close. the nasdaq and s&p are also way down. wall street started the selloff right at the open crashing nearly 1,000 points this morning. the reason for the panic -- china. their stock market continued rapid decline today hosting one of the biggest one-day percentage losses since back in 2007. fears of a china slowdownturning into a recession caused the dow to fall 1,500 over three days. we're tracking the ups and downs with ragan courtney. where do the markets stand right now with an hour to closing bell is. >> exactly. that hour is probably one of the most important of the day. every day. but especially, today. anything can happen in this final hour of trade. we saw things accelerate. the losses in the stock market on friday in the final hour of trade and sitting in a critical point. like you mentioned, we opened up severely sharper this morning down 1,089 in the dow at one point and panic selling based on china. it does very much

. >> legal correspondent ari melber is here to sort this all out. good to see you. >> nice to see you. >> let's talk about this argument by trump. and others, that the 14th amendment doesn't guarantee u.s. citizenship. is there a way legally trump could undo the 14th amendment without repealing it? >> no, as a legal matter, this is nonsense. it's bizarre. this has been settled law for well over 100 years. it was a late 1800s case that spoke to this exact question and said the 14th amendment does what it says it does, that folks born here are u.s. citizens, period. this is what happens, i guess, jose, when we have a reality tv star pretending to be a constitutional scholar. and what he said about what he thinks, again, goes to either his ignorance or his lack of interest in the issue. he says, well, many people think something else. that may be, and that's fine, and in politics, you get many people in a room and eventually build support. great, welcome, go for it. but the supreme court doesn't care what many people say. it cares what nine people say.

i'm ari melber. when's behind today's deadly bombing?nditions at amazon joins us live. big story this hour, donald trump took a break from his presidential campaign today to do his civic duty. trump pulled up to a federal court in manhattan to report for jury duty. he was randomly called by the city to serve. this is the sixth summons. he skipped out the past five times. trump's advisers explaining that the past summons they say were sent to the wrong address and he won't have to pay a reported $250 fine after showing up today. while jury duties known for long waits and bored crowds, trump tried to turn his arrival into more of a rock star moment hopping out of a black limo. allie vitale is joining the campaign and what did you see today? >> reporter: hey, ari. just like you said, a little bit of rock star status. he came a little bit after 9:00, late by court standards. he was supposed to be reporting at 9:00 and then was taken inside through security and up into the holding rooms and a lot of people here, there was a lot of reporters h

let's turn to ari melber. it's whether or not the jurors credible. how did she do? >> she did well in terms of explaining her state of mind during and after what she said was the traumatic attack on her. that allowed her to put into context some of the statements that on first blush many people went along. >> it was an interesting prosecution tactic. they know the messages are out. they want to neutralize it and put it out front. >> that's right. if someone walked in and heard parts of the testimony they might think it was the other side leading this because there were so many things that sounded like inconsistencies. that's the prosecution trying to get it out of the way. hear it first from her in her own words before the cross examination began late yesterday. >> the cross started. we're getting into it. the defense attorney spending a lot of time on this senior salute tradition that allegedly takes place at this school. obviously, feeling this is central. what is the argument he's trying to set up? >> the key argument is not simply to blame the culture broadly bu

ari melber is msnbc's chief legal correspondent. good morning to you.ung man has publicly denied having sex with this 15-year-old girl, but it's alleged privily he told another student they did have sex and he knew she was underaged and he went to the police without a lawyer and spoke to them. is that admissible. >> it may be admissible. they're going to debate what he said and whether some of what he said to the police and his friends goes to what was more truthful than what he may want to deny now that he's facing trial. >> there's one piece of physical evidence here, a laceration that according to some is consistent with sexual assault. might this entire case hinge on that? >> it will certainly be the biggest piece of non-testimonial evidence. that's he said, she said, and then this physical evidence which the prosecution believes goes to her point that this physical act occurred. he's saying it stopped well short of intercourse. >> the attorney in this county was heard in court yesterday in kind of an unguarded moment saying that the senior salute,
