Judge for public reading. In my previous life at court tv, we had something called verdict watch. That was this period of time. We knew that the verdict was coming down. Sometimes you would have a whole night, they would tell you the night before that the verdict was coming down in an intensely high profile case. Thethe simpson case comes to mind. We knew the night before that that verdict was coming in the next morning. Crazy the interest in that case. But to have an hour or so notice before this case so intensely watched, so devastating for the city of boston, the state of massachusetts, and very political trial in many ways. And significant for the federal government. Its reasonable to give people time to prepare emotionally and physically around the courthouse. Can you give us a sense strategy where by the acknowledgment, the admission was made early on. He did it. Right. Then what . Ive seen a lot of those cases. You have a Death Penalty case. You have a client who is guilty. You
Others are making bids. We are competing for limited resources parts of droughtravaged california offering millions for water and asav monvey the daily show comedian one punchline at a time we begin with a graphic video, a black man unarmed and running away. A Police Officer hitting him in the back. After the eighth shot a man falls. That officer is charged with murder. Erica is here with more. The officer says he feared for his life. He said the man took his stun gun during a scuffle after a traffic stop. Clearly a black man is shown running from a white officer. The man on the ground died. The officer is with the North Carolina Police Department. I dont want this to become a ferguson. I dont want any more lives taken. Hopefully it was done for the right reasons. What led up to the moment was a routine traffic stop. The officer stopped a Mercedes Benz with a broken tail lot. The driver got out the car and ran. The officer chased him. The officer fired his stun gun but it did not stop
We have new developments on all this weeks big stories. President obama has spoken out for the first time on those Hillary Clinton emails saying he first heard about them on the news. In madison, wisconsin, there are protests after the shooting of an africanamerican teenager by a white Police Officer. The teen was unarmed, but Court Records show he was party to an Armed Robbery last year and police say he attacked the officer. An independent investigation will examine the evidence. All this in a week where the Justice Department revealed a pattern of racist practices in ferguson, missouri, against the backdrop of that extraordinary ceremony saturday. President obama leading 40,000 people in selma, alabama, 50 years after that bloody confrontation on the Edmund Pettus bridge. We gather here to honor the courage of ordinary americans willing to endure billy clubs, and the chasing rod, tear gas and the trampling hoof, men and women who despite the gush of blood and splintered bone would s
Reporter it really is. A lot has changed in 24 hours when it comes to the protest. A significant difference in just one day. A Smaller Group people turned out here in ferguson than the night before but also much more peaceful and i think it all started with what struck the tone was the prayer vigil that was led by local ministers and pastors that kind of started the night off and calmed the situation down, at least temporarily, calmed the situation down because those are the people that then marched down to the police department. Theyre marching to the police department. They were celebrating the fact that the police chief stepped down. Other city officials stepped down, as well. What is it that the protesters at this point what do they want to see, more heads roll, do they want to see more resignations . What is it that theyre calling for . Good question because last night, one of their regular chants that weve been hearing for over 200 days changed. Last night it was they were callin
