Lawyers, lawyers donts play fair. They argue two things. They can argue, look, the person didnt do the crime. The person wasnt guilty. But usually in a political scandal the argument is there wasnt enough proof to find them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Very high standard. Its not theyre blameless, its not theyre innocent. But we say wed rather let 100 guilty go free than convict one innocent man. So were were loading it to a very high standard. The other thing that lawyers argue, which the public sometimes has trouble with, is procedure. If you didnt get that evidence into the courtroom properly, then it cant come in. If you didnt share exculpatory information properly with defense, those are procedural violations which can equally invalidate a verdict. And im happy to argue both. So, thats thats kind of what were going to go through. One word from last week. Last week was the allure of the white house tapes. And i went through a bunch of them with you, perhaps too fast.

Verizon center, a day after a triple shooting in the chinatown neighborhood. M molee green joins us. Reporter we are at the spot where it all happened last night for about an hour and weve seen Police Coming and going. In fact, there is a Police Vehicle parked right behind me, behind that white van that you see parked on the corner there. Theres a Police Vehicle there. Motorcycles have been coming and going throughout the time weve been here. I just spoke with d. C. Police and they tell me that the steppedup Police Presence remains all over the city. Police tell me they are not aware of anything in particular special in terms of their enforcement because of tonights game. Last night the police chief said it all. There was a triple shooting in the area even though she had a ton of offices out here, as many as 30. She tripled the presence because of halloween and because of the concert in the area that is just so much going on last night because of halloween celebrations. 30 officers in

But the obama plan would keep 8,000 u. S. Forces in the country as trainers. The afghan army is not yet capable on its own. Americas top soldier, chairman of the joint chiefs, general Martin Dempsey in afghanistan today said if u. S. Trainers cannot stay through 2015, the main core of al qaeda could rebuild here. I think the principle reason for us to remain post 14 is to maintain pressure on al qaeda. Reporter but karzai wont sign a socalled forces agreement to give u. S. Troops the usual waiver from prosecution and the like. Unless karzai does sign, dempsey and his commander, president obama, say no u. S. Troops will stay. U. S.
