of new jersey, bob menendez, a mistrial was declared. the jury was deadlock, 10 out of 12 of the jury jurors thought he was innocent. ainsley: he had an emotional press conference there, basically is set out for vengeance. i know who you are and i won t forget you. pete: that s true, we will see where this goes. our own judge andrew napolitano was on the program earlier giving analysis saying, bob menendez he may have escaped one thing but not necessarily out of the woods completely. listen to what the judge had to say. he faces a lot that s coming, a decision by former colleague jeff sessions, attorney general, it would actually go to that level as to whether they want to retry a sitting senator. they spent several million dollars in the prosecution, they defended their case three times in the federal court of appeals,
i think that he will get beaten up by the senate ethics committee. but the jurors after they were polled following the verdict with the nonverdict, the hung jury were 10-2 in favor of his acquittal. so i think menendez survives from the democrats point of view they breathe a sigh of relief because chris christie, the outgoing governor of new jersey doesn t get replacement of menendez. so they both soldier on, i m not sure who menendez is now going to beat up with that threat he made. but they soldier on, but my point is this epidemic of sexual harassment, this plague has a long way to go before it burns out. there s going to be a lot of famous men embarrassed, humiliated, maybe their careers broken, franken in this case no longer a presidential candidate. this thing is really going to be huge. ainsley: geraldo, what do you think about this miami congressman, his name is
where detective sean was gunned down. one of their own. we spoke to one detective who said he s been here since 10:00 last night and not going to get on of until 1:00. another wiping off tears as they approach. but they said they are not going to rest until they find this cop killer, the man who gunned down one of their own. and the reward is rising right now. governor hogan added $100,000 to the reward, and that brings the number to $169,000 for anyone. detective was following up on a case here in west baltimore when a man pulled out a gun and shot the 18-year veteran in the head in an ally. police commissioner kevin davis has said it has been an emotional past day and a half for police officers, but he is 100% confident that his officers will catch the killer. we will find the person
