Director of National IntelligenceJames Clapper. Its unlikely, but i wouldnt rule it out. Reporter metrojet, the Russian Company that owned the aircraft, denied the crash was said the pilot did not send a distress call.

At issue is whether the prosecution illegally excluded blacks from the jury. Heres our chief Legal Correspondent jan crawford. Reporter timothy fosters jury was all white, but prosecutors denied racial bice when they struck every African American from the pool of perspective jurors.

Reporter the names of the potential African American jurors were highlighted, and in this list of possible jurors titled definite no, the top five people were black. Georgias Deputy Attorney general argued prosecutors had valid reasons for excluding African American jurors in the 1987 trial. It flagged black perspective jurors to make sure they were following new Supreme Court guidelines handed down in a landmark 1986 case to prevent Racial Discrimination in jury selection. But a majority of the justices appeared skeptical. Liberal Justice Elena kagan said the case seemed as clear a violation as the court is ever going to see of the courts 1986 guidelines. Conservative Justice Samuel alito, a former u. S. Attorney, also seemed troubled, asking, what about the giving a reason for dismissing one jury, that she was close in age to the defendant. She was in her 30s. He was 18 or 19. Now today some 30 years later, antiDeath Penalty groups say Racial Discrimination in jury selection may be less obvious, but it still persists.

We have been searching at the broadcast for solutions to gun violence. In our series voices against violence. Recently we brought you the view of a gun rights advocate, larry pratt, of gun owners of america. Tonight another perspective and another voice. My name is kai kleopfer. Im an 18yearold innovator from bolder, colorado. I spent the last three years of my life developing a smart gun that only works for the owner. The smart gun works by identifying the users fingerprint before the firearm is able to fire. This means that when a child the house and picks it up and starts to play with it, it doesnt turn into a lifealtering accident. It all started for me with the aurora theater shooting. Living in bolder, colorado, the theater where that shooting occurred is only 45 minutes away from my house. And it was something that deeply impacted not only me, but the Colorado Community as a whole. The Smart Gun Technology that i developed is very secure. The fingerprints are stored on the firearm and encrypted using militarygrade technology. The next main step for me is to take that technology and move it to an actual metal live firearm. Throughout the course of my research into accidental shootings and deaths in the United States, i learned that every 30 minutes in the United States on average a child dies or is injured by firearm. Legitimately save thousands of lives every single year in the United States. And im in a position to make that possible. Pelley the view of kai kleopfer.
