Director james comey called the mistake heartbreaking and said we are all sick this has happened. We wish we could turn back time. On april 11th, dylann roof went into this South Carolina gun store to purchase a glock handgun. The transaction triggered an automatic federal battleground check. An f. B. I. Examiner pulled roofs arrest shed and saw an earlier arrest, but she did not see this incident report where roof admitted having the drugs. That confession should have disqualified him from buying a weapon. The examiner never got the report because she couldnt track down the Proper Police department, so she marked roofs case as pending and proved on to other cases. Under the law, if a background check remains unresolved after three day, the sale can proceed and thats exactly what happened. Roof completed his purchase on april 16th. Is the system of background checking the f. B. I. Uses flawed . I dont think so, no. Reporter Daniel Webster is director of the Johns Hopkins center for gun policy and research.

Prosecutors asked for a sentence of 175 years. Dean reynolds was in the court when the judge made his decision. Reporter the oncerenowned cancer doctor wept uncontrollably as he begged a federal judge for mercy apologizing, as he said, from the bottom of my heart, while admitted he inflicted needless pain and suffering on more than 500 of his patients. I stand before you so afraid of my action, cried farid fata, i dont know what more i can do to express my sorrow and shame. From the rows of victims seated a few feet away came the sound of muffled sobs. Fata, who administered almost 3,000 unneeded chemo treatments, said he had permitted a sin to enter him in a selfdestructive quest for power. Prosecutors said it wasnt complicated. The sin was greed. Dr. Fata pounced on every opportunity to use a patients body as a profit center. Reporter its why he told healthy patients they were sick, why he told sick patients they were dying, why he told dying patients he was their only hope, all of it done with an eye on how much money he could claim from insurance. U. S. Attorney barbara mcquade. Do you think it was a highly sophisticated fraud . I do think it was a highly sophisticated fraud. Dr. Fata lied to everyone. He lied the his patients. He lied the his colleagues. He actually falsified a medical study to support the work he was doing and the treatments he was giving, and so he was able to fool many people who were very bright because he himself was very bright and very sophisticated. Reporter monica flagg lived in pain for chemo for nonexistent bone marrow cancer. Now that its all over, does it lift your pain in any way . I dont know long term what his treatments will do to me emotionally and physically. Did it lift it, yes. Im glad hes behind bars and he will never hurt and poison anyone ever again. Reporter now the judge ultimately handed down a sentence of 45 years in prison.
