| 0:00.0 | Good evening, everyone. I'm Laura Coates and welcome to CNN tonight. We've got tomorrow's news tonight |
| 0:12.8 | right here for you with the incredible video. I can't believe this. It was the moment that the |
| 0:17.0 | convicted murderer escaped from prison. It's kind of parkour, you all saw today. Plus, what the judge |
| 0:23.0 | showed us today in a Fulton County courtroom as it was televised and where all of this really is going. |
| 0:29.2 | But first up, a great big nope for Ken Chespero and Sydney Powell. The judge in Fulton County we |
| 0:36.0 | saw today shut down their attempt to be tried separately from one another. They will, of course, |
| 0:41.6 | now be tried together beginning possibly on October 23rd per their request. So what does that mean |
| 0:47.7 | now for the DA's desire to try all this yearbook photo of 19 defendants together? Well, the judge |
| 0:53.9 | in a word, his word skeptical. It sounds like the state is still sticking to the position that |
| 1:02.8 | all these defendants should remain and they want to address some of these removal issues. |
| 1:08.3 | I'll I'm willing to hear that. I remain very skeptical. |

| 1:19.6 | day for the former president. And Mar-a-Lago IT worker has now flipped on Trump in the classify |
| 1:25.7 | documents case. And he's clearly telling a story that people want to hear. Otherwise, he would not |
| 1:31.3 | have gotten a deal. It was also a federal judge ruling today that Trump is going to have to pay |
| 1:36.3 | E. Jean Carroll in a second defamation case against him. Just now a matter of how much money |
| 1:42.6 | we're talking about. Plus, there are new clues as the manhunt is heating up on day seven in Pennsylvania. |
| 1:49.5 | Investigators have now found footprints of the escaped murderer Danello Cavacante and they |
| 1:54.6 | are warning that he would be as violent as he needs to be to avoid capture if he really has nothing |
| 2:01.0 | to lose. We have exclusive video coming up of the manhunt from a couple who live in the search |
| 2:07.0 | zone. So stay tuned for that conversation. And everybody's asking, I've been asking you've been |
| 2:12.4 | asking, of course, how in the world did he escape? Well, now we can see it for ourselves. |
