common sense, folks. department of justice embroiled in a new scandal similar to the botched fast and furious operation. this time, they are accused of helping mexican cartels launder tens of millions of dollars in drug money. all the families here today, my brother, your son, peter doocy live in washington with an update. good morning, juliet. 5:00 p.m. today is the deadline that darrell issa has given the attorney general eric holder to provide him with a briefing about these money laundering allegations. issa wants to know if the d.e.a. which works under the justice department tried to dismantle mexican drug cartels by helping them launder millions of dollars in cash, sometimes up to $10 million at a time. he says if they did, it calls holder s leadership into question. as you know, drug seizures and, in fact, rolling up these cartels hasn t happened in the several years of this administration. so we have to ask the question of how long are they going to
conviction as well as death sentence for the man on your screen. his name is cleamon johnson. he goes by the nickname big evil. prosecutors say johnson was involved in dozens of murders. there was something that the judge did in this case that caused this to happen. so we brought in our own judge, judge napolitano to talk more about this. this guy has been on death row for 15 years. what was presented, or what new happened that caused his sentence to be overturned? that is what is so unfortunate about this case. you have someone who was convicted of a crime in 1991, and has been in jail since 1991, and now he is legally innocent. so he gave 20 years of his life for a crime that the court says he hasn t been convicted of. the other case that s 20 years old, what was the reason for which this conviction was overturned? because the trial judge at the time of the trial excluded a juror because of something the juror said. it wasn t like they discovered dna, somebody else s dna at the
