let s see what ucla said. we sincerely apologize for this mistake that may have led some of them they were admitted when they remain on the waiting list. spokesman for ucla. says you re in. yeah, that would lead to believe you re in, right? bigger question if you dig a little deeper. this is much more controversial and folks in california have been talking about this is whether or not there were a lot of illegals who were allowed to come into that school vs. citizens. now, that might be a serious argument. as far as just on the surface, those 800 kids, i mean, i don t see how you do it. california is so strapped for cash right now, i don t know if they can increase their class size to accept those extra kids. let us know what you think. i wonder if somebody is going to get fired. a lot of kids hearts broken. in the meantime, fox news alert for you. we ve been following this this morning. a tsunami warning is in effect for the entire indian ocean following a powerful 8.6
report to district attorney ori white. they conclude thhe a single item of psical evidence in this case which supports a finding of arson. the willis case is based solely on old wives tales that were disproved and should have been known by everybody in the industry. an amateur could have taken this case who had in his mind a one-page list of old wives tales, could have taken a checklist on the willis fire and said no, that s caused by flashover. no, that s caused by a flashover. accelerants can t do that and you wind up with nothing. there s one last thing. what about his so-called remorseless behavior during the trial? earnest willis is being given two powerful drugs during the trial which his defense council did not know about. according to medical records,
slowly getting back to normal. he works as a hairdresser and lives near his parents in a quiet superb outside philadelphia. it s either going to tear you apart or bring you together. and if you re a strong family unit like we are, you know, like i said he only asked me once did i do it, and there was never a question. i said no. there was no conversation. it was on. and hasn t been a question since. the riky jackson case and others like it have caused legal experts like robert epstein to question just how reliable is fingerprint evidence. the riky jackson case was a case that really brought these problems to the light because we had a very, very clear case of misidentification where a poor fellow was incarcerated for two years on the basis of a misidentification for a horrible crime. if the system is going to work, it s got to catch the misidentifications before anybody gets arrested. they have used prints, judge
