>> and what was she thinking? attacking a judge, security officers to the rescue. all caught on camera. we talk to the guy who took her down. it's all right now on cnn. >> and good evening, everyone. i'm don lemon. we begin tonight with a story that begs a question, what was she thinking? a kentucky woman is in big trouble with the law after she attacks a judge in court. here's her violent outburst. >> miss hardwick, you will be held in contempt of of this court if you become disruptive. >> i don't care. i haven't done anything to this court. >> she'll it be arrested for contempt of court. go now. >> oh, my. court security officer, adam dotson, the man on the left of your screen was the first to reach the woman. her name is melissa hardwick and then he took her down. i talked with him a short while ago and asked what the judge said to make her go ballistic. >> the judge was basically just telling her to stop using foul language and if she will kept using foul language in her court, then she would be held in contempt and face more charges. and the lady was very upset already and she just basically disregarded anything the judge said and continued to talk. >> you've been doing this for a while now. have you ever seen anyone react this way, especially towards a judge? >> i have seen people react this way but only in training videos and the training they send us to. but not actually in any courtroom i worked in in the 3 1/2 years i've been there. >> when you grabbed her and you guys finally subdued her. >> was she remorseful, did you have to take her away? what happened? >> she was not remorseful at all, actually. i had to administer it the handcuffs there on the floor and she was resisting arrest the entire time. she was fighting with me and another bailiff tried to hold her feet and she was sort of fighting with him. so we finally got her handcuffed. i picked her up off the floor and walked her out of the courtroom and she was still using foul language and actually made another threatening comment to the judge. >> did you give her any sort of test afterwards, do you know, if she was under the influence at all? did she smell of alcohol? did she seem to be under the influence of something? >> she was not under the influence of anything that we could tell. she was just very angry. i think she has a history of these type situations. and she just it in her mind it didn't matter what we done or anything actually. she was just showing disrespect for the court. for my position and she was just disregarding anything we were trying to do. >> yeah, she was there for domestic violence charges against her husband and he watched the whole thing go down, didn't he? >> yes, sir, he was not shown in the video but he was standing just to the left of the woman there. and he watched the whole thing. he actually was standing behind the podium and moved the podium out of the way so we could finish the handcuffing process. >> i can only imagine him saying see, i told you. all right, thank you officer dotson. we're glad you are okay and the judge as well. >> yes, sir, thank you. and in addition to the domestic violence and contempt of court charges, hardwick is now also charged with terrorististic threatening and resisting arrest. three journalists are arriving at the orange county florida jail to document casey anthony's release. she could be free in a matter of hours. the question is now, when will it happen? where will she go and can she live anything resembling a normal life when she's freed? those reporters will brief the rest of us on what they saw. jane velez-mitchell hosts "issues"ing with jane velez-mitchell and joins us now from orlando. okay, it could be just moments away, jane. what's going on? >> well, we know there's about 20 protesters outside the orange county jail, don. and they have signs like like rot in hell, burn in hell. there are a lot of people that are very angry with casey anthony, feel she got away with murder as a matter of fact because she was acquitted of the most serious charges and she is scheduled to be released sometime after midnight. of course, they could maybe pull a fast one and release her slightly before midnight. as you mentioned she is three journalists, a still photographer, videographer and a journalist reporter are going to go in and look at it and see it and then they're going to come out and tell the rest of the media. there's about 20 satellite trucks outside the jail. so everybody it seems in the entire world wants to see what's going to happen next and what's expected to happen is, she's expected to leave in a caravan of vehicles possibly with tinted windows. you will not see her drive away although obviously, the still photographer and the videographer are going to hope to get a shot of her, at least maybe leaving her jail cell and then she heads to points unknown. it's speculated she might go to one of the three private airports in the area and just take off on a charter jet to points unknown or she could go to orlando international or maybe even miami but is not going to stay here in orlando proper. her own attorney jose baez said as much. >> listen, i want to ask you this. we have a live picture from the jail now in orlando where she's expected to be released at any moment and there were protesters. there's a live picture there. you see the media getting ready. there are folks outside as you say. roll some of the protest video. jane, what did you say there was a more sinister one. all profits for murder. boycott all of that. that's going on. i have to ask you this. with all of the attention surrounding this case, is it likely, number one, is she in jeopardy in any way safetywise and can she really have a peaceful moment once she is released? >> well, her own civil attorney has said she has gotten seven credible death threats. so obviously, there's a tremendous security concern. and there is speculation that wherever she goes, she is going to have to go underground and behave much as people who join the witness protection program behave, change her name, change her hairstyle. >> jane, one second. i hate to cut you off. we were looking at pictures, that was a pool cameras going inside. we lost it there for a moment. those were the photographers and the reporters walking inside as jane was speaking sorry to cut you off. continue, jane, sorry. >> no, it's happening right now. it's a very dramatic moment. do you realize, don, that it was exactly three years ago today, july 16th, that she was first arrested? so we have all vicariously lived through this saga for three long years. so the timing of it is just sort of eerie. the coincidence of her getting out just a couple of hours after three years to the day she was first arrested. again, they really believe she is going to have to lay low. it's going to be hard for her to do that. she's been in solitary confinement for the last three years mostly, and she's a young 25-year-old woman who as we know, we learned during the trial likes to party. so the will she be able to adhere the advice of her own attorneys who are undoubtedly telling her, lay low and asking all of us to respect her privacy and then of course, there's the big tv interview, if and when that happens. >> yeah. and jane, you know, it is really amazing to see all of the coverage this has gotten. there you see the protesters in the background on those live pictures and jane is rt roing just from on the other side where all of this is going on. jane velez-mitchell standing by. casey anthony to be released shortly. the reporters are going inside to get pictures of her release. and we will bring it to you. if it happens in this hour. you'll definitely see it on cnn. make sure you stay tuned, the host of "issues"ing with jane velez-mitchell on our sister network hln standing by for us. you can watch it every night at 7:00. thank you, jane. >> thank you, don. >> now this from cnn. . >> shame on you! shame on you! shame on you. >> a media king now fighting for his reputation. you'll see rupert murdoch's very public apology and a man who used to work for one of his newspapers talks to cnn about the scandal involving his london paper. did management know what its reporters were doing?

"the sunday times" and now even the fbi is opening an investigation in the united states. the allegations hacking the personal phones of public figures and the not so public from, murder victims to dead war heroes. >> and there is a firestorm, if you like, that is engulfing parts of the media, parts of the police, and indeed, our political system's ability to respond. >> murdoch's news corp, the parent company of the fox news channel also owns 20th century fox movie studios, the fx network, the "new york post," "the wall street journal," harpercollins publishing and probably your local fox affiliate among many others. the charges against the company are criminal and they could have dire implications not only for murdoch and the people under him but for the prime minister himself. david cameron's former communications director andy cole son is also a former editor for the murdoch paper at the center of the scandal. he has been arrested for his alleged role in all of this. the question is, what did his former boss, david cameron know and when did he know it. >> let me say once more, if, if i was lied to, if the police were lied to, if the select committee was lied to, it would be be a matter of deep regret and a matter of criminal prosecution. >> order. anybody might think the that orchestrated noise is taking place. order! order, the house will come to order, and these order and these exchanges will continue in an orderly way. mr. ed milliband. >> mr. speaker, the prime minister has just made a very important admission. he has admitted that his chief of staff was given information before the general election that andy cole son had hired a man had hired a man jailed for seven years for a criminal conspiracy who made payments -- who made payments to the police on behalf of the "news of the world." this evidence casts serious doubt on mr. could you son's assurances that the phone hacking over which he resigned was an isolated example of illegal activity. do you know what, mr. speaker? do you know what, mr. speaker? i think the public and the victims of this appalling scandal want us to rise above this and deal with the problems that this country faces. >> mr. milliband. >> mr. speaker, he just doesn't get it. he just doesn't get it. >> i'm afraid, mr. speaker, the person who is not getting it is now the leader of the opposition. >> the unfolding firestorm was brought to life by hollywood actor hugh grant, a brit himself who secretly taped a former news of the world reporter talking about the unsavory practices that he says everyone in his organization condone and encourage. here's grant taking a very uneasy looking picture with that reporter paul mcmullen. i spoke with mcmullen who said that hacking phones to get information illegally happened all the time at the paper. >> everybody knew, i mean, it started from the time way back in the 90s when you could actually buy a scanner in a shop outside a star's house and actually tape record their entire conversation. when that became illegal to buy a scanner, all you were left with was getting into the voice mail box of the celebrity or the politician or whoever was being targeted. i mean, everybody knew. it was commonplace. it wasn't just -- it was a very common trick. all you had to do was hit nine and put in the pin code. people didn't even change their pin codes from 4-0. so the problem is, people got such good results early on, i mean, for one example, a very famous british very cute blonde tv presenter, someone on a fishing expedition hacked her phone, listened to three messages and the last one was the english manager saying darling, we had such a good night last night. when you get that quality of information instead of every now and then, it started to be done routinely and just to the hugh grants and nicole kidmans of the world but to our readers and worse than that, sadly, to you know, the mobile phone of the girl who was, in fact, missing and had died and that's where it really all came to a head because the private detective who did that deleted some of the messages so it looked like her phone had come back to life and her parents, you know. >> okay. so listen, you're talking about milly doweller and her family. this is what i want to know. were people as high possibly as rupert murdoch complicit in any of this? would rupert murdoch know about these sorts of practices, people under him know about these sorts of practices? >> yeah, well people under him certainly should have known. when rebekah brooks, his right-hand woman in britain, who gave me my job, she was feature editor and i was looking at the same books we both had. we were spending $4,000 pounds a week on you know, private investigators. doing these kind of practices. it's just extraordinary if she was the department boss who then d you not notice an expens100e00 a year on this kind of thing and not even ask what it's for. her position is ludicrous. even worse than that, for her to turn round and initially andy could youson turn around and say we didn't know about it, it was a rogue reporter acting on his own and now five reporters have been arrested, i've been invited into scotland yard to be arrested three times and they were still saying, we didn't know. it was just the reporters acting on their own. >> rupert murdoch and his son james and rebekah brooks have agreed to testify tuesday at a hearing on the scandal. stay tuned to cnn. a government plan that actually worked?
