South Africa says farewell to Nelson Mandela
It was a day for celebrating the life and the legacy of Nelson Mandela. There is a song called 'Senzenina.' In English that means 'what have we done.' It was an anthem during the anti-apartheid movement and is often sung at funerals and demonstrations. Tonight it is the soundtrack to our look back at the remembrances of Nelson Mandela.

Day two of the newlywed murder trial: A rare show of emotion by Jordan Graham
Jordan Graham pushed her husband while they were at Glacier National Park and he fell off a cliff. Her lawyers say she pushed him in self defense and that his death was an accident. The prosecution argues it was murder. One problem for the defense is that initially, Graham lied about what happened and went to pretty dramatic lengths to cover her tracks. Those lies took center stage in court today. Kyung Lah has the latest, and explains what was happening when Graham started wiping away tears.
John Berman discussed the case with CNN legal analysts Mark Geragos, Sunny Hostin and forensic scientist Lawrence Kobilinsky of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
