dire. as we stipulated in the intro there, the espionage charges are punishable by death and the judge has a reputation for very, very tough sentences. i believe he s been blacklisted for human rights abuses. so i mean what is the sense that you get about possible outcomes here? well i would not want to predict the outcomes. i mean i think that ultimately the framework for this whole proceeding is that this is some sort of internal power struggle it s some sort of effort to try and extract some sort of concessions in the context of the nuclear negotiation. that s what many observers believe. this is very very serious. it s very serious for jason and his family. it s very serious for the washington post. but it s hard to predict how this is going to play out. you talk about it as if it is a hostage situation and you mention the iran nuclear talks. i mean have you has cpj been in touch with the government?
cases where it s use of deadly force and there s some questions around it. well alex, you re absolutely right. it was historic i guess, in a sense when brelow got charged. but the burden of proof and a lot of things go into it. the evidence that was in front of judge o donnell. he had to deal with the evidence that was in front of him. but you re absolutely right. police officers are seldom if ever made accountable on the criminal level for criminal charges. so in a sense, the fact that he was charged is a sense of justice, i guess, the system working. to that end, mike today there s a very very high-profile announcement, a settlement that the doj has made with the law enforcement in cleveland, and there are a lot of reforms that are set to take place in the cleveland police force. i wonder if that gives you hope. mike? well, yeah. you know i really hope i m pretty sure that it will be some changes made throughout that.
the 43-page opinion by judge o donnell. there s two real substantial legal issues in this case one of of which was causation and what shots caused the decedents deaths. there were 137 shots fired. four fatal to the male and seven shots to the female. the judge couldn t determine what shots killed them. that was the basis of the acquittal. are we afraid we re going to face this same problem like baltimore, ferguson new york all over again? absolutely we are and not just with cleveland. i think with other cases as well. let s face it injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and until we start addressing these problems clayton, we re going to continue to see riots all across this country.
