joining us now is civil rights attorney, former prosecutor david henderson. and michael wallbun, author of "the fight to vote" out tomorrow. michael, your book is timely. it looks at the voter restrictions and suppression in the country and what's being done to make voting more difficult and more politicized. what are you most concerned about? >> well, this is a big moment in history. we've been fighting about who gets to vote, who gets a seat at the table of democracy from the country's beginning. but what we're see right now with the big lie, as you say, with states moving to restrict voting, driven by that big lie, and on top of those voter suppression laws, you might call them election subversion laws, changing who counts the votes and attacking election officials. that's why those of us who support this national legislation think there is no alternative to strong national action. the lesson of history throughout the country's years is that sometimes t federal government has to step up. and i would say this looks like one of those moments. >> but you say

year-old plan is under arrest tonight for the murder of a pregnant mom in berkeley. 19-year-old serenity henderson died in october of 2020 after someonr c her 1-year-old son was with her along with other family members. investigators say forensic and electric evidence led them to the suspect on monday. turns out he was already in jail for a gang-relating shooting. the suspect, who has not been named, is now charged with murder, attempted murder and weapon violations. >>> meanwhile, the police just made four arrests in connection to a mass shooting at a san jose restaurant that happened just five days before that berkeley murder. two men killed, three more wounded in that attack. the police arrested three people on narcotics larges and recovered a huge cache of drugs, firearms and money. >>> tonight, the chp says a pedestrian, struck and killed after running on to the highway early this morning, was reportedly trying to get hit. the man who has not been named turned out to be a suspect in an earlier triple stabbing and reported just after 2:00 a.m. at a home. all three victims are suspected to surv

let's bring in david henderson, civil rights attorney, cnbc contributor. david, how difficult a case is this particular one for the prosecution to prove >> you know, shep, in terms of proof, this is not a difficult case if we've learned anything from watching january 6thth prosecutions, he's cautious, he's meticulous. but persuading a jury is something different altogether. >> the jury has been chosen. does that group that's been put together give either side an advantage as you know of it? >> you know, shep, overall i have to give the advantage to the defense, and that's just because of the makeup of the jury you've got a 12-member jury and six alternates 16 of them are white two of them are believed to be asian based on reporting we've received but the bigger issue is the judge told a prospective juror, and the judges pick the jury in federal cases, this case has absolutely nothing to do with race if the judge truly believes that, that probably influenced the way he chose this jury. >> do you see derek chauvin testifying in this trial or no >> i don't, s
