what about the charges against bob kraft? he is a friend of yours. well, it s very sad. i was very surprised to see it. he has proclaimed his innocence, totally, but i m very surprised to see it. martha: here now mark oeiglarsh criminal defense attorney and criminal prosecutor. mark, good to have you here tonight. thanks, martha. martha: the fbi is aware of the matter and continue to monitor developments. we also have their conduct policy. it is not enough to simply avoid being found guilty of a crime. we are all held to a higher standard and must conduct ourselves in a way that is responsible, promotes the values of the nfl and is lawful, which i guess some people would find interesting given some of what we have seen. your thoughts on this case because there is the nfl side of it and of course the legal side of it. okay. so let s talk legal. is he alleged to have gone in on two separate occasions and they claim that he received a sexual act on each occasion. they charged
part to remove this from the national consciousness because it has been so difficult. i agree with lisa that the chicago police department must feel that they have an ironclad case here against him for them to come out so passionately i would say as well people should look at the interview rahm emanuel gave he was very emotional there talking about what they have done in that city to try to tamp down on gun violence and to change the narrative about chicago. and the damage that this has done because of it. and i think it s also important when you look at the chicago police department to think about what happened with laquon mcdonald, for instance, a story that got all of our attention and what steps they have taken with body cams and hopefully bettering the situation there to be the focus rather than a celebrity story which is what this is panning out to be. martha: pathetic attempt at attention-getting. he was making $125,000 an episode. did he this to boost up his salary. he alre
that robert kraft is going to want. martha: good to cece you tonight. email we received from carson i was watching a mom error on the screen. computer key barred covers the screen right before the commercial break and error on the keyboard and z is where the y should be. i seem to always notice details, carson says like this. and i thought martha would want to know, too. and carson, you could not be more correct. he says i try to write to her but i m not allowed to have a social media account yet. which means you have a very smart mom, carson. i am only 12 years old. thank you and have a good night. i have to get back to my homework now. good catch, carson. i am a stickler for typos of any kind. so you and i are on the same wavelength. we are so happy that you corrected that and please let us know, carson, if we get anything else wrong. thank you. we read all of your email and you are about to see we listen this is for the story tonight for a friday
a job they are doing. it does not support this kind of narrative that the country is getting more frightening and more horrifying for black people, gay people, et cetera. martha: what do you say to those who would look at that and listen to you tonight and say a lot of these go unreported that they hear so much antidotally and they are concerned that these tensions that they trace back to the administration that they are clearly on the rise out there? what do you say to them? i mean, certainly, this is a country of hundreds of millions of people, so, of course, there are, you know, bad things happening every day. but, antidotes are not a substitute for a more holistic view of what is actually happening of looking at the statistics. because, unfortunately, some of these antidotes like with smollett, when you look at what actually happened, they don t stand up to scrutiny. we don t know what percentage of the total are like that. but i you know, a lot of campus incidents often not
