they're cnn's laura coates is outside the courthouse, even watching this. the last couple of days, laura, i feel like we've been on a roller coaster ride. i mean, about 24 hours ago, you and i were talking about this and it seemed as though fani willis might be in some trouble and then she walked into that courtroom. yeah. yesterday. i mean, the eyes of the nation were on her. it was fascinating to watch. and then she did a pretty effective job of defending herself. what's happening inside now, what are you seeing? >> i mean, the adrenaline rush that was yesterday, flee continued into the courtroom today, even though she was not there, we have been standing by to see who was going to test to find max. we already know that she was not going to be in the courtroom already this morning. they feel that she had already done her due diligence and essentially undermined the case. again, started his qualify her now has epa to judge ultimately decide that issue, but where we are now instead is having her father first of all, imagine that her father is now testifying.
