dating the sister of his fiancee. joining me legal analyst brian clay poole claypool. a tv reporter banned from the courtroom. talk about a mistrial. possibilities? no. i don t any a mistrial. the judge admonished the reporter to stay away from jurors and they re going to do that. they can t be around media or influence from the media. what s your thought? the longer the jury deliberates the more likely a hung jury in this case. hernandez is never going to be acquitted. either it s going to be guilty or a hung jury but there should have been a quicker jury verdict if he was going to be guilty. i think there s a strong likelihood of a hung jury. you re based out of l.a. no comments about what l.a. might be like but talk about celebrity justice and what it means for the case. richard make no mistake. an average person off the street in this jury trial, they would have been convicted within a few hours. with a mountain of evidence that existed in this case. when you re trying a
it is quite a different picture of course that you hear from the defense. so the jurors have been deliberating for an hour and a half today, and they will be bak back firsts thing in the morning, don. thank you, susan candiotti. coming up aaron hernandez was a star player for the new england patriots. is this a case of celebrity justice? is what is it that we can do that is impactful? what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that s what i d like to do. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424.
trial, there s black justice, there s white justice and there s celebrity justice, and they all kind of came together. how did the trial change the media landscape? oh, this was the mother of them all, right? we talk about where we all were when the verdict was read. everybody remembers that. but think about as americans, what else do we remember? we remember if we re old enough the jfk assassination, 9/11 certainly, challenger if you re old enough, and the o.j. verdict. and what does that say about how we value our entertainment. this is the thing that established for the media that people will tune into this, they will consume it voraciously. now these celebrity trials and stories like this, i hate to say it, kind of like a dime a dozen. it s constant fodder for a public that keeps demanding more. there s still nothing like the o.j. story. nicole ritenmeyer, thank you very much. what your friends, your
of staffing to this investigation. and you know what? i think there s much more to this story i think vineberg is smack in the middle of this thing. he s the only one charged with a felony and these other two are going to start singing to try to get out of this mess and they re going to implicate vineberg even further. but it is pretty remarkable that this kind of manpower would be assigned to this investigation when clearly after the death of anyone s overdose, it doesn t afford them these kinds of resources to try to get to the bottom of how the drugs came about, where they came from, so, richard, that setting the stage, i guess it becomes an issue of fairness. should all overdose cases be treated like this? why just someone who is a celebrity? i look for uniformity in the application of law and law enforcement and you don t see it. you see celebrity justice and then you see justice for the people that don t have money. it s not the same.
mark you ve certainly had high profile clie wentz very public legal issues. how do you deal with something like this from a legal stand point? it s not just an issue of guilty or innocent when it s in the public eye like this. no, it isn t. because everybody s on high alert. and the way a case would normally get dealt wilt you don t get death with. i always say god save me from celebrity justice. the thing about it though as i try to explain to either prosecutors or judges, look, you ve got somebody, you ve got a kid who is in his early 20s, i believe. same age as drew and i have boys. and if you give them that kind of money, it s a recipe for these kinds of actions. i mean, it s just a tough tough situation. this is something you have to deal with as the lawyer. you ve also got to deal with the client. and getting the client to understand that you just can t buy your way out of these things, you re going to have to there s a heightened level of scrutiny when it comes to somebody
