let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. dan, did the prosecution make the case?fective closing argument focusing on critical issues, time line, lies and opportunity. and i think that that was effective. the problem was he went a little bit too long. it was a little bit redundant. there were reports of a juror, maybe two, one of them maybe nodding off, not paying attention, et cetera. that's never a good sign. but the bottom line is big picture, i think the prosecutor generally accomplished what he needed to do. >> so what do you expect from the defense today? >> so the prosecution has proved what they say happened. now the defense is going to say what wasn't proved, right? so they're going to talk, i think, a lot about the sort of motive. motive here is a bit of a mess. it's in part because his financial world is crumbling on him and he's trying to distract, but he's also trying to cover it up and it's just a little bit muddled as to exactly why he would have killed his wife and his son. and i think you're going to hear the defense really try and poke holes in th

i want to bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. dan i know that you were saying that this was just incredible. what we witness of the judge really talking about him, knowing him in such a personal way and saying it one point i know you have to see paul and maggie every night when you try to go to sleep your reaction to this sentence. it was extraordinary interchange. i mean, this was almost like a scene out of a movie where the judge seems to be trying to get him to confess saying to him, you know, this is your final opportunity. i know there's an appeal pending, but this is your chance, in effect to come clean and, of course, alex murdoch saying he didn't do it. he would never do it, etcetera. now the other point to make here is it's the sentences is no surprise of two concern. executive life sentences again to be served consecutively, meaning one after the other. but his testimony in conjunction in connection with the sentencing does him no favors because this court, the jury has clearly determined that he lied repeatedly to the c

. >>> let's bring in chief legal analyst dan abrams. this could be a landmark case. >> absolutely.er cases where, for example, a parent doesn't secure their weapon and let's say a 3-year-old or 4-year-old gets access and hurts someone. parents have been charged in cases like that. but a case like this where you're talking about the intentional condut of a 15-year-old and saying that the parents are now charged with involuntary manslaughter, meaning they are responsible for the deaths, that is something that has never been done before and the question is, where is that line between horrible parenting and criminality? >> so what is the strongest argument for the prosecution. >> foreseeability. their argument is that the parents should have been able to see that something like this could happen based on all the warning signs that trevor just laid out. everything from the weapon to his mental health to being called in to the school that day to text messages that had been sent back and forth to the parents not taking action when they should have known about his problems. so all of that,

, but in any case, i believe that the provision of any western leopard tanks dan leopard 2 british challengers american abramsion we we are now lobbying here in the west to provide as many of those tanks as possible, because they will be able to significantly strengthen the combat capability of the armed forces of ukraine and speed up the victory in your opinion, but now there is a lot of talk about this big counteroffensive of ukraine, which is expected either in the zaporizhzhia region or in other regions, and this creates a great pressure of expectations of this onslaught, there were very similar conversations, i remember it well before the liberation of kherson, when they talked for a long time about the fact that ukraine should liberate kherson , if this does not happen, then this will undermine, let's say, the western coalition and the belief that ukraine will be able to end this war on its own terms and not on the terms of a compromise, a dirty compromise with russia. what do you think about this , is the success of this really so important and critical look at the upcoming offensive, there are now a l
