of hate and extremism at california state university and veteran prosecutor and legal analyst paul henderson how do you successfully prosecute this case now? >> well you know it's easy at one level because it's so clear with the homicide and that's the basis. that's the real foundation that is leading the charge in all of this. there is contemplation of making this a hate crime or terrorism, but really the mass murder is what i think is going to drive the train. for the hate crime, it's really an act of prejudice against a person or property where there is a perception real or perceived, for someone in a protected class and it's almost the overkill but it does speak to the race issue that underlies why everyone is so frustrated with this case and the tragedy that is in this city right now. i think what's going to happen is what's going to drive the train are the murder charges and the absolute killing, and keep in mind that since it's a death penalty case and they do have the death penalty in this state, anything else that gets added on is going to be extra, and it changes and it shifts and

. >> paul henderson is a prosecutor and legal analyst. paul joins us now.ot three women who were dismissed yesterday. alternates exist for a reason alternate jurors so they're now going to be put into place. wouldn't this be grounds for a mistrial? >> well it depends. it's always a complicated process when these issues come up in the middle of a trial, and i've got to tell you that the lawyers on both sides are debating back and forth what to argue because what ends up happening is when you kick a juror, you get whomever is next up in the pool. and that's a broad pool. so even if you kick one of the jurors or in this case three of the jurors and they get three of the jurors that are in standby, there's only so many jurors that are on standby and then you're always balancing against the possibility that a mistrial could be declared and you have to start and redo the entire trial all over again, and nobody really wants to do that in a case like this because keep in mind they have already gone through 9,000 jurors to get the pool that they have gotten in this
