. >> ladies and gentlemen, jason lynn young did not murder his wife. not murder their unborn son. and this case has not been solved. >> reporter: who better to make the argument than jason young himself. but so far, he had never said a word to anyone about the november night. and almost five years silence. >> it is always a big decision for defense attorneys whether or not to call their clients. >> reporter: beth carris is a former prosecutor and legal analyst. she covered the trial. >> this is a case that really begged for jason young to testify. if he is innocent. >> reporter: after all this time. >> if he is truly innocent, get on the stand and tell the story. >> we call jason young. >> reporter: with his mother in the front row, jason young prepared to do just that. defense attorney brian collins hit it hard off the top. >> did you kill your wife michelle? >> no, sir. >> were you there when it happened? >> no, sir. >> reporter: what about jason's missing hushpuppies that match the shoe print? he no longer owned them. >> are those the shoes you had o

i know you disagree, jason. lynn, you're covering the white house in washington every day. do you see that as well as someone on this beat every day? >> i see that the constant stream of misinformation that comes out, whether in a speech last night on details small and large, that's the issue and that's the challenge for journalists is to figure out a way to effectively tell people what's going on in a way that is so puersuasive and airtight tha this is the case. we're not even talking about whether or not you like the policy, if it's good or bad policy. even last night in trump's speech, he said incorrectly, everyone who's at that washington dinner is hobnobbing with hollywood celebrities. the story is how celebrities didn't come to the dinner. and if people in the audience even kind of used their common sense which you're always allowed to do, gee, how could he know who's at the dinner if he's not there. i know i'm being literal, jason, and you can scold me on that, but do take me seriously that when there is misinformation, whether or not it's -- i agree with the points
