predict the outcome. justice and the people are going to have to make that decision and that is where the community leadership is going to become very important, to prepare people because the outcome may not be what they expect or what they want. and we ve seen that time and time again. but it s the justice system that we deal with and it s worked for over 238 years. the one thing i remember about you handling katrina, general, you were dealing with a mayor, a governor president all going at it and, you know a fema director who was getting that you had to provide the adults in the room a role and there s a big question in baltimore, who is that person or who is that entity? and in that voice and in that vacuum stuff happened. right. and i think probably a more
hell no, she s got to go the baltimore police union calling for the baltimore state attorney to ten away from the freddie gray case and allow a special prosecutor to step in. the union s issue is a $5,000 donation she received from gray s family s attorney, and her marriage to a baltimore city councilman who has been very vocal speaking out against these attacks. the union says of their all clear conflicts of interest and will serve against these six officers interests. to attorney ben stein who agrees. his is on the phone right now. you say this lawyer went way beyond her legal bounds. explain, ben. well, this lawyer is compromising so many wassed it s unbelievable. first of all when she came out and said, i haven t have heard your cry moves justice no peace that said i m playing to the crowned, not playing to the constitution or the law s the state of maryland, my own state by the way. they are i m playing to the
the is comprimise on both sides. all her she is saying all her pred are sos have as well. there s been a pattern when they run for this office, your get money from all sides. but i don t think it s a pattern in any case that is generally known that you get money from the lawyer for a person over whose death you are prosecuting. the specifity of the contribution is in terms of her husband s comments, that s outrageous. i go back to the first one and say when she went before the microphones and said no justice no peace that is supplies siltly saying, mob i heard you i m going to mo justice that ain t right. i heard toward the end of her remarks they got into the sticky federal of strong opinion here. one thing that has come up since
mob. that is not allowed. that is lynch law justice. second she could not possibly have intended but to include a murder charge. measure we depraved heart requires either some form of intent or knowledge that the act done would lead to death. there s never been a death at least not that anyone can remember from that kind of behavior by the police so that couldn t possible by he be a him charge. the contributions from the lawyer for the degree family, that would seem immediately on its face to knock her out of thebreak. her husband being a vocal 0 inspectionman for prosecuting a policeman, that should knock her out of the box. it s a mystery to me what she is doing other there. she argued she received donations from the police union as well so all is fair. all the more reason.
to the guy who was brought in after katrina turned bad, retired army lieutenant general russel honore good to have you back. if the officers were exonerated or found not guilty then what? the fear is that baltimore erupts again. what do you think? well i think that s got to be a contingency plan between the governor and mayor that they are going to have to be prepared for for months to come neil. because this wheel of justice, while the decision to bring charges have been made the legal action is going to take a lot of time and a lot of patience and a lot of negotiations in that community for people to understand what is going on with that process. and then you re going to have to take some investment in that community to start the healing. but the police are always going to have to be prepared to respond to civil disturbances. general, i m sure you re
