73. 2:44swarnovsky ktvu fox 2 news
74. 2:47evan do we know about how many more
75. 2:49witnesses are expected to take the stand
76. 2:51and possibly who will be called up next
77. 2:55well just before the trial started the
78. 2:58prosecution put out a witness list
79. 3:00there's more than 20 witnesses on there
80. 3:03including high profile people like henry
81. 3:05kissinger and the journalists for the
82. 3:07wall street journal who broke this john
83. 3:09kerry roo we don't know if they're going
84. 3:11to actually take the witness stand and
85. 3:12they may very well call other people to
86. 3:14the witness stand as well julie evan i'm
87. 3:17wondering how technical is the
88. 3:19prosecution can get sometimes you can
89. 3:21get overly technical talking about the
90. 3:24um
91. 3:26the the the the thing that that cam the
92. 3:28einstein uh and and how it was created
93. 3:31and all of the inner workings and it can
94. 3:33just jurors can just glaze over and and
95. 3:36it's not effective are you getting any
96. 3:38sense of of of how technical they're
97. 3:40going to get in their prosecution
98. 3:44frank this is a technical case it's a
99. 3:46white-collar corporate fraud case it's a
100. 3:49paper case they call it so it's not like
101. 3:51a criminal case where you have an
102. 3:53autopsy and gunshots for example it's
103. 3:56all in the documents and it's very
104. 3:59technical it's technical for the
105. 4:01prosecution and it's even more technical
106. 4:03in some cases for the defense who's
107. 4:05really picking apart the prosecution
108. 4:07piece by piece but so far i've been
109. 4:09watching the jury and they seem very
110. 4:11engaged with the testimony so far
111. 4:13frankly and just real quick how about
112. 4:15elizabeth holmes what's she doing during
113. 4:17the trial is she engaged any reaction
