EXCERPT:
LEMON: “This case is so high profile. There appears to be from this so much evidence that it’s hard to see how this would indeed be a setup. And I’m going to explain why. Again, you have to give everybody the benefit of the doubt. There is a justice system, a legal system in our country. When you look at this, it — it just floors you.”
CUOMO: “If you just start with the basic idea of two Nigerian brothers putting on MAGA hats and beating the guy up, that was always a little far-fetched.”
LEMON: “Again, it wasn’t MAGA hats. He never said MAGA hats.”
CUOMO: “But that was the implication. They said “MAGA country.””
LEMON: “White guys. A lot of coincidences.”
CUOMO: “I can’t even qualify it. To be honest, if I wind up being wrong on this, I’m wrong. But I’ve never read a more damning proffer on something than this is. Look if he made it up, he’s going to have to justify it. dale had good advice for him. If you screwed up and did this, own it. You want to say why you did it this way, do that. But you’re not helping the cause, I’ll tell you that right now. There’s a lot of truth that’s going to get covered up by one untruth.”
LEMON: “My — I have a similar idea, I say if it is true, confess, throw yourself on the mercy of the court, and of the people, and then see where that leads you. Thank you Chris...”
