sounds like she had plenty to report. >> joining me now jeffrey toobin and mark geragos, co-author ofoming book "mistrial." mark, we saw a lot of this prosecutor in the back and forth between them. you were scoffing at his tactics. >> if i wanted to teach a class tomorrow on trial advocacy and how not to cross-examine, i would just have them sit and watch this guy. >> why? >> this guy is a clown. what he's doing -- i mean, i'm not in there in the courtroom to watch the jury react. but what has happened here is i think a shift in the trial. i think whatever chance they had of getting the death penalty, if they keep this prosecutor on for another day or so, he's going to turn off everybody on that jury. >> i think that's unfair. look, the prosecutor suffers from an embarrassment of riches. he has so many opportunities to cross-examine her. she has lied so many times about so many subjects. >> then why is he such a -- why is he so over the top? the stuff yesterday, i thought the first day you're up there, you're going to start talking about subpoenaing god and whether she thinks he can s

saying they want sanctions from the lawyers for doing this. >> mark geragos is a well-known lawyer. nduct the case is to attack the prosecutor. but the notion they would get sanctions is a hollow threat. and remember, geragos is specifically highlighted in the motion made by the prosecutor, saying that he was coaching the lawyer for the richmond p.d., where he was serving the community service, on how to answer questions. geragos is also mentioned specifically in this motion. >> it does seem like there's enough there to make brown do more service. >> we'll see. the fundamental question in my mind is not going to come down to the other incidents. it's not going to come down to the cell phone. it's not going to come down to anger management questions. did he serve the community service or didn't he? if he wasn't there and wasn't able to serve the community service, as he supposedly claimed he did, and signed off on, that's a big problem for him. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. >>> we're going to start with gorgeous days into -- northeast, mid-atlantic. let's start with new york. wabc,

we're joined by criminal defense attorney mark geragos, co-author of "mistrial" how the justice system works and sometimes doesn't and jeffrey toobin. the fact that the lead investigator is removed because he's facing charges in another case, this a big setback for the prosecution? >> no, it's not. for a very important reason. there are no jury trials in south africa. this will be a judge trial when it ultimately goes to verdict. a judge is not going to be shocked by the fact that the detective has something bad in his past. that is not the kind of thing that a judge who has been around the criminal justice system for a while would be affected by the way a jury would be. it's obviously not a good thing, but in the long run it won't matter much at all. >> i would agree if this were -- if they had a jury here, this would be the death nell for the case. but are you kidding me? er had a case or seen a case where you've got your lead investigator on the case who has contaminated the crime scene and oh, by the way, i have seven counts of attempted murder? >> mark fuhrman. >> and those were j
