Do you have a link on that? I couldn’t find it in a transcript.
I think CNN has the only transcript, and Lester’s question isn’t in it because it occurred during a commercial break. Here’s CNN legal analyst Mark Nejame’s on-air reaction immediately afterward:
“And then the judge - right to the heart of it — asked about the stippling of the gun and how close and about the gun shot. Well, what does that show? It shows that there was not a shooting at a distance, but that there was apparently mutual combat where the two of them were engaged within immediate proximity to each other, which suggests that one really doesn’t know what happened because it wasn’t from a distance which would show a depraved mind, but, in fact, right there during regional combat.”
Also, I saw/heard Judge Lester directly ask Det. Gilbreath how close the two were when the gun fired, because I was switching back and forth from CNN to HLN when each would break for a commercial. I was astonished to find the exchange was missing in the transcript later, and know now CNN “transcripts” contain huge gaps.
