chris, when you really think about, it this case hawking back to a jim crow care, you had this white lynch mob chasing this unarmed black man, taking justice into their own hand, killing him. because he didn't comply. and then you have a defense lawyer, saying well we are going to tell you who can colored come for you in the court. we don't want all these black pastors in here, as if he could inject his wheel on this black family. like they did when they kill them. you need to comply with what we want you to do. and now in the coffin was this prosecutor talking about him having long leagues, 30 toenails there were almost talking about him like if he was a runaway slave, and that this lynch mob as a right to run away and run after him and capture him, even if that meant killing him. and the only thing that was left to be answered was this afternoon, was worse the verdict going to be one that -- to the jim crow era. or chris, whether it's going to be a verdict that said to america, we must be better than this. we cannot condone this in 2021. >> yes, that was the defense attorney, who of course s

and a lynch mob ensued.ounds. they had to sit him on books because he was too small for the electric chair and the state of south carolina executed this child ignoring cries for mercy. 70 years later he was exonerated because of course it turns out he was innocent. we're still executing people in this country who we're not even sure were guilty. julius jones is set to be executed in oklahoma tomorrow, tomorrow despite grave doubts about his guilt in a murder that he says he didn't commit. it's yet another case riddled with doubt and racial bias, another story reflecting the racial disparity that pervades the criminal justice. we don't teach the parts of american history that make some people feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. nicole hanna jones is fighting that so we can face the stories head on. joining me now is politzer prize winning reporter for "the new york times" magazine and night chair in race and reporting at howard university, nicole henna jones, creator of the 1619 project which is now expanded

so thank god we had that video so people would have ocular proof of ahmaud being lynched by this lynch mob, just like his father said, and that jury, laura coates, those eleven white members and that one black member spoke volumes with their verdict today to say, america, we must be better than this in 2021. >> and you know, when you think about what they spoke to in this conviction and of course the racial composition of the jury was widely discussed and people were wondering what it would truly mean, and you had the d.a., linda, she talked about her take down of the idea that this was all self-defense. i want you to hear what she had to say, there's a point that this trial came down to the idea of self-defense, and as you said, the ocular proof that it was not. here it is. >> and i wanted to make sure that the jury understood that the self-defense case was absolutely garbage, thaft was nt what took place, and i was doing my best in the moment to dismantle, as you said, and i hope to achieve that. >> you also often play add complementary role in the symbiotic relationship between civil li

it was not a lynch mob, it wasn't racially motivated, that they had a right at that time, as the judgehat they could basically act as a deputized citizens. the other side of that, of course, it's very much vigilante justice and that's probably why that law was repealed. >> and then, of course, the prosecution was successful in helping to argue the confederate flag that is on the front of their vehicle and the words that were also shouted out by these alleged suspects, you know, the defendants before opening fire. how powerful are those elements going to be in how this was racially motivated? >> those are very powerful elements and there was a fight beforehand where the defense wanted to keep that out arguing that it was too prejudicial. always important to remember that the standard isn't whether it's prejudicial or not. if that was the case, nothing would get in because it's going to help one side or the other. it has to be balanced as the judge did in this case as to whether it's probative. and for a murder charge here, the intent, the motivation behind it is important and that is st

back to the jim crow era, where you really think about this young black man jogging and this white lynch mob who suspects he's done something criminal, they don't call the police, they don't give him due process, they chase him and kill him. and then you hear this defense lawyer talking about black pastors shouldn't be allowed in church. and to the courtroom, almost as if they're saying that you have a right to dictate what ahmaud's parents can do even in their day in court, their one day in court, where their child has been lynched. it is almost like the killers who are saying you need to comply with our mentality out there when they killed ahmaud. and then unbelievably you hear the defense lawyer in her closing say that ahmaud arbery had long legs with dirty toenails as if he was a runaway slave and they were allowed to chase him and make him comply or kill him. and the only question that remains unanswered is if this jury is going to give us a jim crow verdict or they're going to say to america we must be better than this, in 2021. >> what was laura hogue doing, do you think, with that lo

in an interview today, trump defended the lynch mob that was rooting for pence's murder and he says itten the life of the vice president. so in other words, trump is still very much on brand. take a listen. >> were you worried about him during that siege? >> no, i thought he was well protected and i heard he was in good shape. no. because i had heard he was in very good shape, but, but no -- >> those chants were terrible. >> he could have -- the people were very angry. >> they were saying hang mike pence. >> because it's common sense, it's common sense jon, that you're supposed to protect -- if you know a vote is fraudfraudul how can you pass a fraudulent vote to congress? >> coo coo, his remarks come from a march interview with jonathan karl of abc news for the upcoming book "betrayal the final act of the trump show" and with those words trump is signaling to his base that violence, even murder is justified in the name of the big lie. now, we should note that pence was not in good shape as trump falsely claimed. he was evacuated just seconds before the mob could reach him and narrowly

made a motion with respect to the prayer vigil that took place last week saying it was akin to a lynch mobevin goff and we'll hear more of that motions, motions about black pastors and peaceful protesters and pastors outside the courtroom. that's how we're going to start the day and then we'll move into legal arguments, each side making their last appeal to the jury about why they think there should be an acquittal or why these three men should be found guilty. >> do you think in any way this jury, will it be influenced by the rittenhouse verdict of not guilty in ken sharks wisconsin? in that case similarly to this one the defense claiming self-defense and similarly provoked by this vigilanteism. >> that's a good question, fred. would i hope not and we have faith in our jury system and as an officer of the court when they come down with a verdict we have to accept it even if we don't necessarily agree with it. i would hope that this jury would take into account the facts and evidence that were presented. in my opinion the prosecution has presented an outstanding case that completely underm

. >> that's how lynch mobs happen.ngs like tony morrison books and biographies of dr. martin luther king junior, are talking about burning books? >> well, i will say, i don't usually get into too many literary conversations with the folks at trump rallies. doesn't appear as if those books are important to these folks. not big book club crews. most of them are holding constitutions on their body. a lot of them reference the bible. if you push on some of that, you realize probably not big book club folks. this just smacks of at its worst racism and trying to control the knowledge base of our students in america. at worst, it's -- what it probably is and what it seems to me is just the politics game over and over again. it feels like people are consistently engaged in trolling. it doesn't stop. >> where do you go next? >> we have a little piece. i can't spoil it yet. there's some place in america where people are misinform and are gathering. when that happens, i find myself there. >> you are like batman. maybe a bat signa
