order. on top of that, the ex-wife aserpts he threatened to cut her head off, and on top of that. and he denies that. he strongly denies that. he said i didn t do that. of course he denies it. and, of course, he promises in a settlement agreement in the divorce that he s not going inform say anything disparaging about the ex, which of course he does. so he is piling up legal issue after legal issue. i don t know who s representing him that has control to basically tell the client, tom, keep quiet. and he s doing the opposite. richard, let me ask you about that. if you re an attorney and you have a client tangled up in something like this where there just seems to be no end to it, what on earth do you say to them? i m quitting. get another lawyer. that s easy. good. except that he makes he has too much money so the lawyer is getting paid a ton of dough on this case. look, this man is like a car accident when you re driving. everybody turns to look and watch. everybody can
at 241 to life. it s an attempt by him to fall on the sword and let her see the light of day again. these are horrible crimes. 18 years, rape, kidnapping, just horrible. i don t thif the judge is going to show any sympathy. the death of the 2-year-old daughter, to some degree, did the family act as agents of the police in soliciting information from her around her attorney. what do you think when you look at this. the family did talk to her, talked to her about evidence, talked to her about ideas. right. this was a big leak on the evidence front in that case because this trial s coming up in early may, tom. and what happened was there s now been a debate. did that what casey told mom and dad, did it occur while in custody? if so, it should be barred or not. so mom and dad took the stand in a suppression hearing and we re not sure what the judge is going
yeah. i actually felt very strongly feeling the same way, but the more you get into this, tom, the more you see that the defense team, arguing, look, it wasn t psychological pressure, it was free will. these individuals put down $10,000 each to go through the process. hundreds have gone through it successfully. unfortunately three died. and that s exactly the defense. it s not a crime, it s clearly an accident. and so that s where this is going to be. we have the first week of testimony in a trial that s going to last four months. and even in the early stage some of these prosecution witnesses have not been that strong. so we ve got a long way to go, but i m not sure that all will be convicted in this case. avery, let s look at the dugard kidnapping. phillip and nancy garrido, accused of taking jaycee, holding her captive 18 years,
let s turn to christina aguile. taken in for public intoxication. she was a passenger in a car her boyfriend was driving, now charges with a misdemeanor. is this a standard thing? she s just riding along in the car. you know, tom, they pulled him over and they gave him a breathalyzer at .09. .08 is the cutoff so he s barely intoxicated. he s probably going to fight that case. but she s a passenger in the car and she s wrecked. she can t hardly even stand up. she can t talk, she s plastered. so the police under those circumstances just took her in and let her sleep it off. then they let her go in the morning. she was not charged, she s not going to be charged, but obviously she s a very troubled person these days. someone s got to help her. she s screaming for help. this is an interesting question here. if you re in a car and you are drunk out of your mind but you are a passenger, aren t you effectively in a private place
speech, do you think there d be anything? look. if like you said, if these families can visit this westboro baptist church, look at those signs and listen to them rant and rave and you can t get justice that way, you can t sue them for any kind of defamation or any type of intentional infliction of emotional stress, no, tom. this guy would not be charged or prosecuted or you probably couldn t even sue him in the united states for that. it s always good to talk to you. civil rights attorney avery friedman and richard herman, nice to have you here this weekend. hope you enjoy the rest of it and watch out for celebrities. you re out there in las vegas, never know. might run into some. next time you head to costco for a case of soup or mega pack of tissue, you might find something totally unexpected. wedding dresses.
