and paul martin a former prosecutor. tough to be sitting across from you guys. have i my work cut out for me. first of all, she has never tried a murder case. how significant is that? >> a lot of people have asked me that question. it sounds like a legitimate question. how can somebody who is 35 years old, never tried a murder case be prosecuting the biggest murder case in america. it's not all that unusual. i'll give you an example. chris christie. never tried a case probably in his life before he became the u.s. attorney of new jersey. and of course tried mobsters and all kinds of organized crime cases. not personally but as the lead in the attorney. you don't always have to have the in courtroom experience to make the right decision about who to pick to try the case. >> so that goes to the experience point. paul martin, on this question of the conflict of interest we saw her with her husband there, city councilman plus the lack of murder case experience is that make it more likely as sara presented the possibility at the end there that she supervises, but giv

and paul martin also a former prosecutor. all the angles of the story right here at the table. bill you're closest to me. you heard evan reporting that commissioner batts told him he got a call ten minutes before. she didn't decide to press charges ten minutes before. she decided well before that. are you surprised? >> well i'm surprised, but i'm not surprised, because i think what we're seeing here is law play out but also politics play out. it's highly unusual, the fact that she just gives him a ten-minute heads up no chance to be prepared. it's highly unusual that she's not going through a grand jury bypassing that. so all these things are adding up. not really looking good for the prosecutor in my opinion. >> and paul you've been on both sides as a defense attorney and also a prosecutor. i know when you were talking to our producer you heard ten minutes. your initial words were that's disrespectful. >> that is disrespectful, probably to the commissioner. i understand the nature of why the prosecutor would do it. listen there's -- >> why would she do it? she doesn't trust hi
