seems to be improving. back to you now, poppy. thank you very much. and as odom fights to recover in a nevada hospital, the question now becomes, how can he be helped? and who can help him the most? 14-year nba veteran and coach john lucas joins me now. thank you for being with me. thank you, poppy, what a blessing to hear about lamar. i know. i actually i was actually in las vegas the day he was over there, and i went to go see him. but it was so much of a lot of people there, i didn t go in. but i ve been reaching out and reaching for lamar for years. and hopefully now we can finally make a connection. all right. yeah, i certainly hope you can. let s tell people a little bit about your history here. it certainly plays into this. you lost your place on two nba teams because of your own drug problem. you are a recovering addict. for many years you ve been in recovery. you started your own drug treatment center, wellness
he had broken a glass. he was in the basement waiting. the intended victim, a 63-year-old woman he had been stalking unexpectedly spent the fight out. saved her life. but he made shire everybody knew he was still prime to commit murder, sending the media that package containing some personal items he had stolen from her home and including one of his trademark poems. which is a poem of death. he said he was disappointed she didn t come home. that he intended to kill her. raider now claims in this interview with a psychologist that this woman wasn t the only one that got away. is it safe to say that there are at least a few hundred people out there. there are a lot of lucky people out there. that you didn t kill. i was in the back of the house. they come home or for some reason i didn t go in. there are a lot of lucky people out there. there would have been more if i had succeeded.
nia, overtaking clinton for the very first time. what does that tell you or what does that tell the clinton campaign, i guess? they ve got a race on their hands and that s what they ve always believed. i don t know that they thought it would be bernie sanders. there had been some speculation early on that it would be elizabeth warren. but she didn t go in. so a lot of those folks who would be attracted to an elizabeth warren candidacy are now in bernie sanders camp. what s odd is that new hampshire has been a good place to the clintons. bill clinton became the comeback kid in new hampshire. and hillary clinton did so well there, it revived her campaign after that iowa loss in 2008. but now sanders is the kid folks are wanting to look at there. he was at 8% in the polls in march. he s steadily gaining on clinton and now overtaking her in the lead there. i think if you talk to the clinton folks, they do say, well, let s think about what the
thought. i have a hard time buying that was not the only reason they didn t go in. speaking to law enforcement officials today asking them what they thought was at playary and what i have been told is it appears that they didn t plan effectively. they miscalculated what the crowd was capable of. and perhaps because of the criticism against police in ferguson and the overmilitarization that may have play into the restraint that we saw yesterday in baltimore and perhaps they went overboard. don lemon is joining us from the streets of baltimore right now. where are you? what s going on. reporter: i m in west baltimore at at a park with members of the crips, members of the bloods members of to try to crush the unrest and the
