they went in to respond to a 911 call. they had mr. hossu right there, asking him questions, responding. they didn t know he was an illegal immigrant. how should i? it s impossible to know. well unless the guy is a close friend of yours and you would have that discussion. if he told me, which i never did. it s a red herring, it s not the issue. immigration has conducted an investigation. they have discounted all of sheriff smith s allegations. he s presented no evidence at all that i harbored, aided and abetted. once again it was just his attempt to tarnish my reputation. so this lawsuit is about your reputation and maintaining it in a public bay. there s $5 million attached to the suit. you say there s an explanation for that. you re not looking to get rich here. no, any money i receive from don smith i am donating to the women s center for battered women and the child advocacy center for children who have been sexually and physically abused. this suit is to hold don smith acc
attorney to influence his investigation, i was outraged. reporter: smith has accused levy of interfering with a child rape case against his former trainer alexander hassou in march, accused of raping a 13-year-old girl on two occasions in 2010. levy accused himself from the rape case as soon as he learned hassou was under investigation and this 30-page complaint filed he alleges defamatory comments were made public. including if he could have his own way mr. hossu would never have been brought to justice. he says the lawsuit is politically motivated. it s obviously intended to influence the outcome of the upcoming sheriff s election. reporter: in a statement judge judy said this about her son, his moral compass is dead center. she added when someone attacks his character professionally or personally, they best be prepared to back it up, shut up
frankly, it s 100% false. he knew it to be false and he did it simply because he and i haven t seen eye to eye in the past with respect to law enforcement initiatives. when you read the complaint you take time to say there s not a lot of evidence about this and he should have known there was no reason for this case to go at this particular time. why spend any of your time defending the defendant in this rape case? chris, i m not defending mr. hossu. keep in mind when i learned according to my suit, when i learned about this incident, about this case, the investigation was march 13th. i learned about it and immediately i did what i was legally, morally and ethically required to do. i recused myself and my office. i could not possibly prosecute a case against alex hossu, who was a family friend. i contacted the westchester county d.a. s office immediately, made sure that we had an assistant d.a. available to assist the sheriff in his investigation. i then made myself available to wes
office with additional information to investigate other potential victims, if they existed. i did everything i was required to do as a d.a., and it s because there s nothing more important to me than protecting children from sexual molesters. it s easy. that s why this gets so confusing. the other part of the sheriff s allegation is this guy s an illegal immigrant, this is the district attorney, he s putting him up in his house. listen it s nonsense. alex hossu was in the country for 12 years, had a valid new york state driver s license, licensed by the state of connecticut to own a business, he was married to an american woman. the feds are after him for being illegally here. the fed has issued an i.c.e. hold because he s not in the country legally. not in the country illegally or legally? did you no he that? of course not. don smith and his department responded last year to mr. hossu s house, not my house, mr. hossu s house.
0 new jersey governor chris christie is being pressured by the parents of this little girl they say she ll die if she cannot have access to medical marijuana. christie said he d decide whether to legalize the drug for children. we all know judge judy, tough, great tv, she s even tougher defending her family. her son is a district attorney caught up in a scandal involving his personal trainer. she is speaking out about it and her son is here live to tell his side of the story. interesting. we ve seen the videos of crash test dummies, check this out dummies for pets, a new push to make car restraints safer for animals. somehow it bothers you more when it s the dog getting mashed. that looks more life like than the other dummies. i digress. that was a good looking dummy. we begin with hannah anderson making her first public appearance since that dramatic rescue last saturday. here she is showing up at a fund-raiser as police release even more shocking details from inside sus
