many didn t want to answer. watch what happens when you finally track down an official diana dooley who runs the agency who was supposed to oversee the program. reporter: drew griffin with cnn. how are you doing? reporter: we ve been trying to reach you and talk about the widespread fraud in the drug rehab business. but we re told that nobody will talk to us about it. in an uncomfortable moment the secretary at first refused to speak. secretary do you know alex forgetman, a convicted felon who apparently run once of these clinics and has been billing the state of california for several years despite the fact that there have been complaints registered with the department about him? he was convicted of a major insurance fraud in the state of texas but somehow was able to get certified and has been billing them. i m just wondering if there s anybody concerned about this
the law states i don t have to. reporter: the law she s talking about is the controversial stand your ground law. instead of running she did what she thought was allowed by law. she believed she stood her ground and fired the gun into the wall. nobody was hurt. but it was enough to scare her husband, rico gray, and he left the house with his two young children from a previous relationship. alexander was safe from her husband but not from the law. she was arrested, her stand your ground defense rejected and found guilty by a jury. marissa alexander s husband rico gray agreed to do an on camera interview with us to counter his wife s allegations. a few hours later he made the decision not to do the interview, claiming that going on camera would put his life in danger. later he september us an e-mail saying he would do an interview if he got paid, which cnn does no do. but he has already said quite a bit. during a deposition with the prosecutor from the office of state attorney angela

drew has talked to. can you name one clinic that you ve shut down? our focus is on rooting out this fraud. i feel bad that, i appreciate you being on tonight, and i know your boss didn t want to talk tonight, and i appreciate you being on, but you have one talking point, and you continue to say it, and you answer every time and verify that you re giving the same answer over and over again. as you can see not a lot of answers from that interview. today the next step. lawmakers demanding answers. reporter: after weeks and even months of dodging cnn s questions concerning rampant fraud in california s drug mad cal system, the head of california s health care service, toby douglas went before state legislators, confirmed the fraud has been out of control and apologized. what we are uncovering is completely unacceptable. and i am here to tell you that
