Died of brain cancer one week ago at the age of 46. In his eulogy president obama said beau biden did in 46 years what most of us could not do in 146. It is our obligation our obligation to beau to think not about what was and what might have been but instead to think about what is because of him. Think about the day that dawns for children who are safer because of beau. Whose lives are fuller because of him. Think about the day of the dawns parents who rest easier and families who are freer because of him. Some folks may never know that their lives are better because of beau biden, but thats okay. Certainly for beau acclaim was never the point of public service. But the lines of wellwishers who have been here all week they know. The white house mail room thats been overflowing with letters from people, those folks know. The soldiers who served with beau who joined the National Guard because of him, the workers at birdies who still have their home because of him and have thank him for helping them bus tables one busy night, and the stranger who wrote from halfway across this great country just to say the only thing we can hope for is that our children make us proud by maybing a difference in the world. Beau has done that and thensome. The world noticed. The world noticed. They noticed. Felt it. His presence. And beau lives on in the lives of others. And isnt that the whole point of our time here . It is indeed. Cnn National Correspondent sunlen joins me now outside the church. What a beautiful ceremony. Reporter emotional ceremony inside and outside the church. Outside, hundreds lined the streets. They couldnt hear a word of the threehour funeral from outside, but a lot of people stay here for the whole time just hoping to catch a glimpse of the first family and the Vice President bidens family as they mourned. One woman telling me she need to be here just to show her support. She had tears streaming down her face. Another smile smaul child was holding a hand made sign on a popsicle stick, had a heart and a handwritten note rest in peace, beau biden. Inside the church was an emotional ceremony where we heard eulogies from not only president obama but beau bidens siblings his sister ashley talking about how it was the great tragic privilege of her life to accompany her older brother to chemotherapy treatments over the years, saying that she was jokingly referred to as the flea over time because she stuck to her brothers side so much. Also hearing from hunter biden describing in painstaking details the last moment of beau bidens life. Here are each of them in their own words. He never judged. He just listened and offered his hand, his shoulder, his wise advice, and his love. Each of us desperately, desperately holding him, each of us whispering i love you, i love you, i love you. And i held his hand and he took his last breath. And i know that i was loved. And i know that his hand will never leave mine. Reporter and that was one of the most emotional parts of the funeral today, bidens death being just one week ago today. Afterwards the lead singer of cold play, chris martin he played a song. Were toll that he volunteered to come after hearing that beau biden was big fan. Poppy . There was also this beautiful, beautiful, huge choir that sang there at the ceremony. And we heard a little bit from the president earlier, sunlen but you heard the whole thing. What stood out to you from what president obama said today . Reporter i was really struck by how much president obama seemed to carry a message, reading between the lines of his speech and listening to it a message directly to his Vice President for joe biden, basically, i would liken it to a slap on the back and saying that a boy, good job, you raised a really good man. Most of what he said described beau biden with integrity and really giving a lot of that credit to jill biden and joe biden, telling them directly the nation noticed. A long string of people describing the character of beau biden not speaking much about his successes or achievements but the way he got there. And i was really struck by something president obama said noting that in this day of reality tv when anyone whose most controversial or whos loudest gets a lot of attention, its the person that can have success doing so slowly that really does win in the end. So what i felt is that president obama was trying to be a grooefr in chief but specifically for joe biden who of course has been struck by tragedies like this before losing a 1yearold daughter in the 70s. It felt like president obama knew he needed to be there for his Vice President today and thats certainly the sort of tone that he brought to these remarks pe delivered today. Poppy . And the story that was told today at this mass about how beau biden could have jumped right in line to run for senator but he didnt want to. He was waiting to finish the work he felt needed to be done in his current role for his state and his people as general odierno put it selfless to a fault. Thank you, sunlen. I appreciate it.

There are new governments in the growing scandal surrounding former speaker Dennis Hastert. An fbi report identifies as many as three potential victims of sexual abuse by hastert. We know one by name now. The sister of Steve Reinboldt, the man who died in 1995 told abc news this week that hastert repeatedly abused her brother during high school in the late 60s and the early 70s. Hastert was a wrestling coach and rin bolt was the team manager. Cnns Polo Sandoval is covering the developments in new york. We have not seen him in public, heard from him or his attorney. He is expected to be arraigned next week. Do you expect tuesday, when that happens, is the first we hear from him . Very good question not just for Dennis Hastert but also his legal team. Keep in mind these allegations, and i say allegations of Sexual Misconduct are not mentioned in this federal indictment. Completely separate case here. Nonetheless, these allegations have surfaced allegedly in 2005 which is when he denied having any at least really taking part in any of these allegations here. So now the main question is if and thats a big if he does address these after that tuesday Court Appearance in chicago, will he essentially segue onto these allegations instead of now, again, resurfaced now that this indictment has been filed . I think its important, you bring up this point that what were going to see on tuesday at this arraign suspect actually not about these, you know, sexual abuse allegations. This has to do with, you know improper use of money, basically, withdrawals, big withdrawals that led the feds to him for these Sexual Assault allegations. Right . Right. And since this indictment was actually filed, poppy, weve noticed, obviously several people have come forward, particularly jolene bird, saying her brother, Steve Reinboldt, who died in the mid90s, was sexually assaulted by the former house speaker. This would have happened in the late 60s, in the 70s, before he was speaker hastert, when he was coach hastert of an actual wrestling team there, and Steve Reinboldt was the equipment manager there. Eventually though as were now learning bird says her brother kept this a secret until he eventually opened up to his sister saying not only was he gay but did have this encounter. So she eventually came forward in 2006 to authorities, to members of the media. However, back then one of those media outlets, including abc news now reporting that did not have sufficient evidence to corroborate this claim, plus hastert himself was dismissing it as well. So as a result did not that explains why someone so high profile in Something Like this didnt come to light. News organization couldnt corroborate it. He was saying it didnt happen. They didnt feel like they had enough to take it to air. But then the fbi tracking down these big withdrawals from his account, that eventually followed the money that led them to this. Again, we will likely hear from Dennis Hastert for the first time polo on tuesday. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Now to minnesota, where the actions of the Catholic Church and its leaders are being called appalling. Prosecutors have found criminal charges against the archdiocese of st. Paul in minneapolis for failing to address several complaints of Sexual Misconduct against a priest. Ramsey county prosecutor john choi says the archdiocese protected father curtis waymeyer keeping him in the system keeping him as a priest while he continued to abuse children. He was convicted in 2013 on charges of sexual abuse against minors. He is currently serving a fiveyear prison sentence. Lets talk about this with analyst jon allen. Also with me cnn criminal defense analyst and also defense attorney joey jackson. Guys thank you very much for being here. It is incredibly disturbing to read that not only about this one priest but about a number of priests that the prosecutor here in minnesota is saying you did nothing, you basically turned a blind eye, right, joey . Oh absolutely. And, you know, its important to note poppy, that its really a dual approach the county attorney is taking dual in that theres a criminal complaint of course thats filed against the archdiocese, you know, basically charging the archdiocese with turning a blind eye ashgs louing minors to be abued and not doing anything about it. There are several counts in that complaint, six of them. The other approach is a civil complaint that was filed and thats important, poppy, and ill tell you why. Its important because the criminal complaint obviously addresses issues of punishment and issues of deterrence. What the civil complaint does is address remedial issues that is what are we going to do about it and that is the court will look at it there will be a hearing held and the court will intervene and remedial steps will be taken to ensure that it doesnt happen again. And, john, in a statement the archdiocese told cnn affiliate wcco in minneapolis, we deeply regret the di ai abuse suffered at hands of waymeyer and all victims of sexual abuse. We will continue to cooperate with all authorities. How do you expect this will play out or is playing out right now at the vatican . Well poppy, its not playing out at all today because the pope is actually in sarajevo bosnia at the moment. But the truth of it is this mess in the twin cities comes at what is already a very difficult time for pope francis in terms of analysis of his response to the sex abuse scandals. In march he appointed a bishop in chile who has a track record of defending that countrys most notorious priests, and that generated enormous blowback. At the moment one of his top officials, Cardinal George pell his appointed financial reformer is facing stiff criticism from a royal commissioner in Australia Related to his handling of sex abuse allegations when an archbishop about ten years ago. So i think, poppy, the reality is that victims and advocacy groups for victims around the world are looking at this particular constellation of circumstances as a kind of litmus test of whether francis was serious when he promisedas election there would be a new era of accountability and no retreat from the churchs commitment to tolerance for the abuse of children. Do you think he is don . Do you think he will do something here . Well we had a precedent about a month ago when pope francis demanded and then accepted the resignation of the bishop of kansas city st. Joseph in missouri Bishop Robert finn whod become the first bishop in the United States to be criminally convicted on a misdemeanor charge of delaying to report an accusation of child abuse. So the precedent has been set. But i think what victims and their supporters will be looking for is not a oneoff sort of gesture of accountability but indication that this is now the new order and that when officials in the church are not simply accused but actually found by an independent panel to have dropped the ball, that there will be accountability for that. Joey that is the question. What kind of legal accountability legal ramifications could we see jail time for the people that leftlet this happen . Because ultimately arent they just as responsible if you know this is happening to children an you dont do anything . You know, its a fabulous point to be made because if youre not obviously part of the solution youre part of the problem. But i think just in analyzing this specific complaint, this complaint of course addresses the archdiocese as a whole. It doesnt name individual members while it does name a number of individual members who were complicit in the coverup who knew and did nothing and in fact protected but it doesnt file criminal charges against hem. It files them against the archdiocese. As far as individual accountable, we wont find that here. Isnt that important . So important, but i think it starts with the archdiocese being charged and the archdiocese being put on notice that the this cannot be business as usual. Of course we know the priest who set off this avalanche. It talks about systemic. Its such a horrific as you mentioned patterns of abuses things that were done places they were touched, where it occurred. Its just relating to the priests as you mentioned at the outset he of course is serving jail time and of course additional, you know people certainly will be under investigation moving forward. So hopefully its a very good start. You hope that the victims here get some sort of justice for all that they have had to endure. John al lep, joey jackson, thank you very much. Coming up next well tell you about a story, a remarkable story, an investigation by cnn money and ac360 for any dog lover out there. You are going to want to see this.

It is possibly the biggest cyber attack in history and the culprit, many of the feds believe it is china. The white house isnt saying that yet. Personal data on 4 million federal workers stolen. The data breach believed to include Social Security numbers along with names and addresses of government agents going as far back as 1985. Chooe Officials Say the allegations are irresponsible, that the u. S. Should not jump to conclusions, but perhaps the most frightening part is that this took the government four months to figure out that the data was stolen. Lets talk about it now with california congressman representative adam schiff. He joins us now. Thank for being here. You bet. Youre a Ranking Member of the house intelligence committee. Why did it take the government so long to realize this information had been stolen . Four months . Its a real failure, poppy. Not only did we not prevent this attack from taking place in the first place but it took us quite a while to learn about the breach. Op smshgs utilizing new software defenses to try to prevent these attacks and determine when they have taken place, but that wasnt fully implemented and not in time. And im not sure that that was even adequate to begin with. So its a big problem, its a huge data breach and if the u. S. Government cant protect itself im sure a lot of the private sector thinks what hope is there for their defenses. Interesting you bring that up were seeing the private sector perhaps doing more. I mean the big corporations big banks like Jpmorgan Chase have literally thrown thousands of employees and millions and millions of dollars into Cyber Security after the big hacks weve seen in the last year. I wonder if you think the u. S. Government isnt doing enough on that front and that is why things like this happen. Well were certainly spending a fortune on our cyber defenses but i think one of the key challenges here is this is a very asymmetric battlefield where its a lot easier and more Cost Effective to be on the attack than it is on the defense, because after all you only need one open door one vulnerability, and your system is compromised. So its hard. I dont want to overstate the difficulty. But nonetheless, weve spent billions of dollars trying to address this problem and still with attacks on opm, on the white house, on the state department on the irs, plainly were not doing enough, not doing it smart enough to prevent seize kind of attacks. Thats what im wondering. If its not about money, you said it were spending billions of federal dollars on it fshg its not about money, what is it about . How do you get in front of it . Part of it is having the right technological advance. A lot is having the right training for workers to eliminate some of these vulnerabilities. And then a big yet missing piece, i believe, is not having adequate deterrent. This is basically riskfree kind of warfare, riskfree kind of theft, and so you have not only state actors but you have sophisticated criminal actors operating overseas and with little regard for any kind of retaliation. So i do think we have some tough questions and tougher capabilities to develop so that we cannot only defend against but also deter these attacks from taking place. You say overseas. Do you believe that this was carried out by the Chinese Government . Well one area that i think we have got an lot better at and that is attribution of attacks, so i think were really narrowing in on whos the responsible party. This point, i am not permitted to comment on it but this was a very sophisticated attack. It involved a massive amount of data. And if this were simply a matter of theft for the purposes of i. D. Fraud, we probably would have seen that information on the black market. So it may be more sophisticated an attack than that and this is something were investigating. Are those that are going down the road of believing it is china misguided, sir . You know, i wish i could comment, but i cant. But we certainly i think have made great progress with the investigation. I can tell you as a general matter that china is a very bad actor in the cyber field an so is russia. They not only have state actors but they have private groups that work in concert with the state that are responsible for all kinds of hacks and theft. So we have massive transfer of wealth as well going to china by the theft of American Intellectual Property Research and development. So on the world stage in terps of cyber bad actors youd have to put china and russia and one and two or two and one. Were talking about 4 million americans who work for or worked for the u. S. Government from 1985 on. What do they do now . Well those employees are going to be contacted by opnew york city let them know what steps they should take that there will be access to a credit review and Identity Theft review package that they can implement for a year or two. Theyll be instructed to change their pass words and take other precautions and what to look for in case their personal information was compromised. But if this wasnt simply about theft and it was about exploring vulnerability vulnerabilities, thats going to be much harder to prepare the workforce for, because that may mean foreign actors will have information about their personal live it also may mean they can conduct further spearfishing attacks by utilizing some of this personal data against them. Right. Congressman adam schiff thank you very much. Thanks poppy. You remember the great secretariat, seattle slew and affirmed. 37 years later, this horse, American Pharoah, is the favorite to possibly become the next triple crown winner. We will talk to one of horse racings biggest fans next. Thank you. She says its her own special recipe. Luxurious. If youre a position living in budapest this is a good time to be a musician . Never. Never. Its not a good time. Its very bad for the gypsy musicians generally speaking because its dead. All right. Welcome back. It is race day and a 3yearold thoroughbred named American Pharoah is chasing history today, trying to become the first triple crown winner in more than four decades. Right now the odds for American Pharoah are 25. An victories at the derby and the preakness, the most grueling test remains. Heres jake tapper. Reporter the world with will find out if American Pharoah has what it takes to break the triple crown curse. Yes, curse. No horse has won the triple crown, the biggest prize in horse raceing, in the last 37 years. But now another chance. American pharoah has already won the Kentucky Derby and the preakness. All thats left between the horse and history is the belmont stakes, the third and longest race in the series. One of the great tests of stamina in american racing at a mile and a half on the dirt. Its a tough race for any horse, particularly a 3yearold to win. Reporter even tougher to win all three races. Only 11 horses have accomplished the feat in nearly 140 years. Affirmed was the last horse to hoof it all the way back in 1978. Thats a long time ago. The disco years. Just last year jockey Victor Espinosa came close to a triple crown victory riding california chrome, a horse thought to have had it all. But it was not meant to be. California chrome he was he was just a little bit empty today. Reporter espinosa will be riding American Pharoah with high hopes to capture the 1. 5 million purse and a spellbreaking victory. Im trying to do Something Different this time. Like what . Win. Reporter but it wont come easy. The belmont is an extra quarter mile longer than the derby. You sometimes have fresh horses taking a shot at somebody whos been through the first two legs of the triple crown, it just makes it very hard to do. Reporter no matter how rare 20 Million Viewers are expected to tune in for a win with attendance at the track itself capped at 90,000. But the fans will hissed whats really at stake at the stakes, the money that comes afterwards. If he takes top prize, American Pharoah will be an even greater draw for breeders who bid just for the chance at a foal like its father. Rumors are in the range somewhere between 15 million and 20 million for the breeding rights. There might be additional incentives built into those deals. Reporter the offspring of a threerace winner could be worth up to 100,000 each. By the way, the last triple crown victor phatered 808 foals. Jake tapper thank you for that. We will certainly be keeping an eye on that big race late they are afternoon. Joining me now author ot affirmed the last triple crown winner. Lou, thanks for being with me. Thanks for having me. It has been 37 years. 37 years. 13 other horses have won the first two jewels in racings triple crown only to come up short at the belmont. Why does it keep happening . Well its probably the toughest three races in the series of any track. Its proven that. I mean its gruesome. Herera the trainer of affirmed even though he won it said it was unbelievable to make these horses run three grueling races in a period of five weeks. So hes not too pleased with the setup. A lot has been said about sort of the decline of horse racing in terms of popularity as a sport. Christine brennan wrote this in usa today yesterday, in her oped if American Pharoah actually wins and we have a triple crown winner as historic as that would be i dont think the vast majority of us would care by the time the weekend is over. Our sports news cycle moves far too fast and our collective Attention Span is far too short to lirng on any accomplishment eve an triple crown in a sport that has long since seen its best days. Is she right . Well to a certain extent. I think this could carry on. This is the biggest weekend of the year of horse raceing. Three great races. The horses that won have established themselves as great horses. I think it will carry on. Just a matter of when and where. The big races. You call American Pharoah akin to michelangelos david. Tell us a little bit about this horse. Hes a beast of a horse. We talk about American Pharoah, a beast of a horse. Hes big. Hes got great strides. He is really an outstanding animal. Think this is the year . Pardon . Do you think this is the year . I think very possibly can. Hes positioned nicely at post five. Thats on the middle of the track. And really he has no rival the last two races, the derby and the preakness. Can he handle the distance . Because this is the longest of those races. Oh its grueling. Grueling. Absolutely grueling. I mean the oval itself at belmont is the whole stretch where they call the gray gods 1,087 yards long, asking your horse to run that last quarter of a mile thats what they like to call the gray gods but a lot of the horses just cant do it. They just fade. And of course a lot of the ones he has to compete against havent run in the first two so theyre a little more rested than he is and the others that have run the other two. So well be watching lou. Thank you. Thank you. Coming up next a florida inmate gets into this sheriffs van. Eight minutes later he is found unresponsive. Days later he is dead.

His bond was revoked and he was being transported from the courtroom to jail. But after a mere eightminute ride he lost consciousness, ended up in a coma. Heres more. Reporter from a courtroom to a coma in a matter of hours. Last week Mitchell Martinez got into a jail transport van in vero beach, florida. About three miles and eight minutes later the 35yearold is in cardiac arrest. He dies four days later. Find him entering the van, showed zero signs of distress. Reporter at a press conference on monday the indian river sheriff said there was nothing out of the ordinary about the transfer. He defended his officers actions. He was segregated into a separate you will call it a cell you can call it a cell within the van. There is absolutely no indications of anything unusual. There was very light traffic. There were no detour no stops. Reporter according to the Sheriffs Office there were seven other inmates who were in the van. None of them heard or saw anything. There was no other inmates that could touch him, no officers that could touch him. Reporter when asked about jail transport protocol a spokesman for the indian river Sheriffs Office told cnn we offer the inmates the opportunity to either buckle themselves up or have if they need assistance we can buckle them in. He says the inmates are, quote, not required to be buckled. On a memorial Facebook Page for martinez speculation swirls specifically how did he end up with these red marks on his neck . Friends also curious about why the video freezes here. What do you believe in your heart happened . I believe foul play. Reporter ryan has known martinez since high school. Brad as he called him, was supposed to be the best man at his upcoming wing. Brads been there for 27 years and all of a sudden hes done for eight minutes for no reason. I mean its kind of its just shock for everybody that knows him. Reporter for martinezs friends and family the circumstances surrounding his death dont add up. They say martinez was burdened by his court date last week wanting only to clear his name. Now after his death, the family says it may be the indian river Sheriffs Office thats going to have to clear theirs. Martinez was initially brought into custody because of a parole violation for a case dating back to 2013. His family tells me that when they heard about his death they immediately thought of baltimore and what happened to freddie gray. They say they plan on launching their own independent autopsy. Officially the Death Investigation for martinez is pending toxicology results. Poppy . Thank you for that. Lets talk about it with former new York City Police detective and cnn Law Enforcement analyst harry howard in new york. And with us commentator mark lamont hill. Harry, is it suspicious for the video to end as nick showed us right before the actual incident . It justcuts off. This is either time lapse video or the kind of video that starts every time you move spop if you stop and theres no movement then the camera isnt going on. So thats why probably that happened. Theyll be able to check out that video anyway and see if it was tampered with in any way. I kind of doubt that but we wont be sure until the investigation is finished. Mark you heard nick say the family immediately thought of what happened to freddie gray in baltimore. This incident happened earlier this week. It didnt just happen this morning, for example. And honestly today is the first time i heard about it. And i think thats the case for a lot of folks. Why do you think its not getting as much attention as the freddie gray case . Well one thing i remember with the freddie gray case is it took a few days for that to bubble to the surface as well. Mark brown, Trayvon Martin they all took time before we knew all the details. Sfa but people were talking about the freddie gray case. Cnn was there live right away when it happened. Absolutely. And i think those cases seemed more egregious. People were standing on the street and saw a guy who was running at one point and then he got into a police van and could barely walk then ended up dead. It was a much clearer case. This ones fuzzy. We knee to see the autopsy, see toxicology and also investigate the veracity of the videotape itself to find out what happened. Its too early to make any judgments. But the fact that baltimore has happened and other things have happened certainly prompt us to say, hey, this deserves a greater scrutiny. Puts more of a lens on it and obviously people will focus on it more. Harry, is it time to reconsider buckling up these inmates in these police vans . Keep hearing wasnt buckled up wasnt buckled up. We dont Buckle School children in school buses which we should be doing. Does he have injuries that are consistent of a rough ride . Do the other guys have one consistent of a rough ride . No. You know whats really suspicious about this case are the marks around his neck where did those come from the time line the drive was spoeed to be eight minutes long. The time line matches the eight minutes, so it doesnt look like that the Police Stopped anywhere and did something to him. So, you know like mark had said we have to wait for the autopsy report to come back and find out exactly what the cause of death is. Something might have happened to him in the jail before he was transported. We dont know. And have to see if that autopsy report is released to the public or not. Do you think, mark, this points to any just further examination that is needed in terms of protocol and transporting these inmates . Absolutely. Even if, you know, one out of one hundred inmates gets injured because theyre not buckle up thats not a good reason not to buckle people up. Theres disl correction therapy for rough rides for the inmates. That doesnt look like thats what happened here but we need to consider that big picture. Even if he didnt get hurt buckling up buckling inmates is something we should think about big picture. The problem is we live in a world where inmates arent seen as peel. The idea is if you committed a crime but they have the option, mark all the prisoners in that van do have the option to get buckled. If theyre cuffed its not really up to them. Right. They had said on the video the reporter just said the Police Officers did give them the option to be able to do that. You dont believe that though right . Why wouldnt you not believe it mark . Come on. Because ive spent the last ten years interviewing inmate who talk about one of the thing theys talk about everybodys a liar if Something Like that come on. You dont know if the officers didnt ask them if anyway harry other prisoners also. Harry, youre disputing a point im not making. Let me make my point first. Im not saying all the inmates are telling troo the truth and im not saying all the Correctional Officers are lying. Im saying we would both be ridiculous to presume that everybody ooh s lying or whether everybodys telling the truth and there is a long history of inmates being denied access to basic human rights and protections. We need to intensify that to protect everybody. Id like the wait to see what the investigation brings forward here. Harry and mark thank you.

What some are calling a blatant shake down not by police but by animal control. Reporter their names are jake and lucy home is Colorado Springs with the macadam family who adopted both of them. But now both of these dogs family pets are staring down a possible death sentence accused of killing a neighborhood cat. Had your dogs ever harmed or killed an animal before . No. Had they ever been aggressive before . No. Reporter but the Pikes Peak Regional Humane Society says it has no choice. The dogs are considered dangerous under colorado law. So the District Attorney has filed criminal misdeamnor charges against caitlin macadam and threatening to kill the dogs. This is all because someone thinks they saw the dogs kill that cat back in january. Caitlin and her husband had no idea anything was wrong until animal control showed up at their house to seize the familys dogs. She says her dogs didnt kill te cat. I thought we could just go the humane society, prove that and get them back. Reporter she could not have been more wrong. Caitlin was later told there would have to be a probasketball cause hearing to determine whether the county could hold her dogs. Caitlin had 10 days to cover 1,200 for the fees of her dogs incarceration. No payment and the dogs would be put to death within days. This case is hardly unique. In fact an investigation by cnn money which looked at 15 different cities around the country found thousands of active warrants against pet owners. These warrants are for infractions that include a bark dog, a dog without a license, an animal loose in the neighborhood. And this may be a lot more than pets. It may be about money, a lot of it. The fines and fees raise millions of dollars across the country. For cash poor towns and cities. But caitlin is convinced some animal control officials are targeting lowincome families those who cant afford to pay. The fact i could be looking at jail time for Something Like this is just ridiculous. I feel like if i were somebody living in a investigated community or something that this wouldnt even be an issue or happening. Reporter as steep as the fines are people like caitlin macadams says animal control knows they will find a way to come up with the money to save their beloved animals. Did you have that kind of money . I found that kind of money but no i did not have that kind of money. Reporter at the Pikes Peak Regional Humane Society in Colorado Springs we asked for an explanation as to why jake and lucy who have never been in trouble before are facing a death sentence. Theres no mistake people are notified to get the money within ten days of the hearing. What if they cant get the money . Theres ways for people to be able to come up with the money to do this. Reporter always . Thats not exactly the case. In stockton california this siberian husky mix was seized by animal control in 2013 after he escaped from a backyard. His owner couldnt afford to pay the fine to get him out. It was about 180. I was crying. My husband was crying. I begged them. I begged them. Please can we do anything. Reporter she says animal control refused to budge on the fine even after she told them she lost her job. In the end her family dog just 4 years old was euthanized over less than 200. It was like killing one of my kids. Reporter the Animal Services manager for the city who was hired after the dog was put to death told us it was a terrible mistake. It appears that it was more about the getting 171 or 183 that was being asked instead of getting the animal returned to the owner which now that is what would occur. Reporter back in colorado after nearly three months locked up the dogs lucy and jake got a reprieve. They are home temporarily. Only because the judge ruled they wouldnt be a danger to the community if they were under strict supervision. Now they have to wear muzzles when walking outside. They cant be walked together. And if outside off leash they have to stay in the yard where theres a sixfoot fence. Meanwhile caitlins Attorney Says the d. A. Is trying to cut a deal. The d. A. s off certificate plead guilty and well kill your dogs and thats your offer. So she can avoid jail time if she can agree to have her dogs put down otherwise she risks going to jail. Up to six months. Reporter to pay the attorneys fees and fines caitlins family sold one of their cars. And used their tax refund to come up with the rest of the money. In all she says she spent about 9,000 so far to save her dogs. Is it worth it . I mean yeah. I cant let them just come in my house and kill my dogs. What do they nene you and your family . They are family. Sorry. They are our family. They are living animals and have souls. Just cant come in to our house and kill them without proving they did anything. Reporter citing an Ongoing Investigation the District Attorneys office wouldnt comment. We have a happy update to tell you about on this story. Caitlins dogs are now free after a Court Hearing that happened yesterday. Also due to the kindness of strangers caitlin has received thousands of dollars in donations from people all over the country that will help recover those 11,000 in legal bills that she acrude.
