what the charges will be. suffice it to say these are serious charges and a serious homicide investigation is undergoing right now considering the death in this particular case. jon: one of the problems he ll face now is he apparently won t have access to the huge contract that he had. he s got to hire a team of criminal defense lawyers, and he s not going to be getting an income. that is absolutely right. the issue here is i believe he may have a morals clause in his contract that the patriotics might have enforced ned immediately. any interaction with law authorities regarding an arrest they might have said in the morals clause that they had specifically with this mayor due to his previous situations, they may have said they are going to release him with the contract. doesn t mean they can t recontract him later on. right now they are stepping out of this immediately, he will not be paid from most ordinarily when uri leased from a contract in this situation you re not
but i think his employer acted properly in terminating him from his employment. i think from all indication he was an at-will employee and i have no problems with him being terminated. greta: and some sort of i mean, i suspect might have a morals clause in his contract and embarrassing the company. maybe not. jim? you know what? and he threw out the defense that he was drunk. being drunk doesn t make you a racist or hit children. those are vile acts and the thing that offends me most about the case as bernie pointed out. how is this only a misdemeanor? at least in california we get a reputation for being soft on crime and don t and if you hit a child in the face, that s child endangerment, child cruelty. there was allegedly blood on the child s face. this ought to be a felony case, the guy ought to be looking at serious time. the fact it s a misdemeanor is an offensive to me. greta: and coming up if you
allred. the fact that someone is doing something female oriented. gender wasn t the reason she was fired, it was what she was doing that apparently the paper without disclosing why, the paper is saying, it is not pursuant to the morals clause of their contract. but this is a stretch. gender discrimination? because she was a stripper? no. you both make a good point. we don t know the houston chronicl chronicle s take on this. there s a mother who is claim self-defense having taken a gun and fired at her husband what she called a warning shot. this is a man who has been arrested a couple of times on domestic violence charges. never proven. she said she was fearing for her life this is all part of you
when i chose not to be specific about those details the word previous may be deceptive. as one blogger said previous, as in it ended once the media found out about it. he completed his fourth season as coach of the razor backs, they ve developed into a national contender under his watch. it s unclear what the university will do. of course, you know, jon and jenna, in his contract, there s this morals clause, so he could be dismissed. but remember, louisville basketball comp rick patino survived a sordid affair but didn t lie to his bosses and didn t hire his mistress to work for him so there s a difference there. jon: what wa story! gregg jarrett, thank you. jenna: sounds like the last details are important ones. we ll watch that story. in the meantime, this employee video is fueling the controversy over an extravagant conference in las vegas. we talked about this at the top of the hour. it was funded by a whole lot of your tax dollars. what could be next for the
i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, countdown. nothing is over until we decide it is! was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbor?! hell, no! germans? forget it. he s rolling. and it ain t over now. because when the going gets tough the tough get going! who s with me?! let s go! we re with you. that was john belushi inspiring the troops in animal house. and that s the kind of inspirational message our super committee needs to get the job done. they have five days to make a deal. now, if you think that s not a lot of time, consider this. any proposal must be made public 48 hours before the deadline, so the pressure is on. now, there is still time, but today democratic panel member john kerry came out of a closed-door meeting, sounding less than optimistic after his side balked at gop offer that didn t have what he felt was enough in new taxes. we re still working. i hope we can get there. but i don t know. if the committee fails, $1.2 trillion of autom
