in november. roll it. >> he wasn't want to share his real plans before the election, either with the public or the press. by flexibility, he means what the american public won't know won't hurt him. his intent is on hiding. you and i are going to have to do the seeking. >> what did i count, twice that reference to the speech? >> yes. and in many ways what we saw from mitt romney is he's really trying to go to these journalists and look at his promises and his policies and see what they match up. you know what else is interesting? i'm sure the blog sphere is going to blow up, he took a shot at the blogosphere and says he wish people would go back to the old guard journalism. people would have more than one source, there would be editors and journalists. >> thank you so much. let's talk about new orleans. four former new orleans police officers should find out if they will soon be spending the rest of their lives in prison for killing unarmed seivians in the aftermath of hurricane katrina. sentencing is under way. i want to go to jean casarez in new york. remind us what these officers were found guilty of. >> these are civil rights violations. this all took place during the chaos of hurricane katrina. and there was a police radio call at the time that said officers were being shot at on a bridge in new orleans. so officers responded to that call, but what they did was, they just took out their guns and started shooting the civilians. there were six civilians. two died, four were injuried. but you must say maybe the cover-up was what escalated all of this. it could have been determined at that point an accidental shoot position tentially. but one officer to be sentenced today actually planted a gun to try to show they were shooting at them. they fabricated evidence, tampered with witness. the state charges were thrown out because of prosecutorial misconduct in and of itself. now it's in federal court. conviction was last year. they're facing 35 to 65 years for one of the officers. >> so you mentioned the convictions since these four officers were convicted of these firearms charges, carrying a mandatory minimum sen fence. they could, you're say, at least one of them could get the maximum, could get life. >> that's right. one of them that did shoot the second individual that died. and you know, when you're talking about federal court york uh ear talking about pretty firm sentences. and there could be downward departure they're going to put on mitigating and aggravating that shows why there should be a minimum allowed. one officer is going to put witnesses on the stand to show how he saied lives to try to help him today from the maximum sentencing potential. >> appreciate it. next here on "reporter roulette, the taliban claims it is behind that suicide bombing at a vegetable market in northern afghanistan that killed at least nine people and wounded three american troops. i want to bring in payton walsh in kabul, afghanistan, nick. what happened? >> it appears the suicide bomber, accord to a statement from the palace here was using a vehicle to carry this exceptionally large charge up to a vegetable market where troops were on patrol. you say one after sgan official saying three american soldiers were taken away from the site of that explosion and wounded. brooke? >> there seems to be an up surge of attacks in afghanistan. are there concerns the taliban right now are just getting started? you know, as the country ced hing into the spring fighting season. there could be so many more. >> the concern about this is it happened in the north and the north has traditionally not been a hot bed of violence, although recently there's been pockets of 258 been a control there and con conner ises that violence could spread. worsening in that direction. you're absolutely right. some months ahead, traditional fighting season. united nations and other people tallying violence here say violence is on the rise. this is a key, it's all about the withdrawal in the coming months. u.s. troops starting to recover the surge they put in last year and fears how the countkoun is to look with an awful lot less americans here in the next couple of months. >> next, a young marine, veteran, a father, behind the wheel of his suv with his girlsen side, his daughters. he does something strange. he goes and crashes through the gates of a school, gets out of his car, a sheriff deputy there opens fire. now the marine is dead. obviously there are all kinds of questions about this one. his family right now, they're demanding justice. you're going to hear what step thiers taking next. [ male announcer ] a car is either luxury or it isn't. if you want a luxury car with a standard power moonroof, your options are going to be limited. ♪ if you want standard leather-trimmed seats, you're going to have even fewer. ♪ and if you want standard keyless access, then your choice is obvious. the lexus es. it's complete luxury in a class full of compromises. see your lexus dealer. >> now this this mystery that involves the shooting death of a marine in california. he had his two daughters in the backseat of an suv. he pulled on to the grounds of a high school early one morning. a security capture at the school captured images of the suv speeding on school property, apparently then crashed through a gate, got of the week and walked to a nearby playing field. early reports are that he was speaking ir rationally. cnn is in the process of getting that surveillance video for you right now so we'll be able to show it to you soon. although we're told it doesn't have any audio. we do have aerial video of the scene after the shooting. you can see the suv. loggins is dead. the deadly weapon deppty who shot him is back on the job. loggins' widow is now suing the county. janing me now is the attorney for the loggins family. what has sergeant loggins widow told you about what he was doing there that very, very early morning at that high school spp. >> well, thank you for having me, brook brooke. and specifically what we know is pursuant to ritual that the family had, they were going on a prayer walk. they were very religious. mr. loggins was very religious. eely morning hours, it was his practice to go to the playing field of the san clemente high school and walk with his daughters and meditate in a spirit of prayer. that's what they were out 24r doing this morning. >> so this is something that was typical favor of mr. liggins, even though it was 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning. to go on a prayer walk, but also to take his daughters with him? >> abc litely. not only was the prayer walk typical, but the time of day was typical. this was a full-time marine. he is on the clock. he had to be very busy. and these particular mornings, those were times when he had special private time with his daughters. >> let me ask you about this video here from the surveillance camera, we geetting it right no, cnn is. we understand it's 31 minutes of tape. have you even this video? >> i have. >> and what does it now? >> well, what we see is what appears to be a traffic accident. we see the suv driven by mr. loggins appear to drive into a gate. the severity of the accident is not clear. the extent of the property damage is not clear. i have had a chance to look at the vehicle. there is some damage to the vehicle. and following that, we see the sheriff's deputy with its lights on, not sirens, follow the police vehicle. i think, brooke, what's important with this video is not what it shows but what it doesn't show. this is the case involving the death of a man. it was a man shot and killed in the presence of his two daughters. we know that he wasn't armed. we have no concept as to why the deputy fired. we know the deputy was not in fear of his life. we know that no crime had been commitmented. and at the same time, deadly force was used, specifically force that resulted in the death of this individual. and not only was he killed in his car, but he was killed in the immediate presence of two of his daughters age 14 and 9. so when we start talking about the video, what we're interested in, what the family is interested in is answers regarding why this shooting happened in the way that it did. and so far we've seen nothing whatsoever from the orange county sheriff's department that has given us any information whatsoever that would justify this. >> let me jump in because we, of course, doing our due gdiligenc reached out to the orange county sheriff's office. they said the orange county district attorney's office is conducting an independent investigation as per our policy to ensure clarity and transparency. until that investigation is complete, we would not be able to comment. in addition to that statement, we also learned that this deputy has won awards for his service to the department. ironically, he has also served in the u.s. marine corps, a very, very highly trained individual. and mr. loggins i know was a marine sergeant, based not too far away from camp pendleton. had he ever been deployed overseas before? >> no. >> never. what was his position? >> he had not been deployed. >> he had several positions. one, the most -- one of the things that he spent most of his time doing was recruiting other marines. at the time that this incident happened, he was also in nursing school and was studying to become a nurse. >> thank you tell me anymore about the family's situation? we mentioned that his now widow gave birth to their fourth daughter. was there anything out of the ordinary going on at home? nothing out of the ordinary. and on that day, there was nothing going on ir rational for mr. loggins. >> forgive me, what about the fact that he was crashing through the gate and these reports that he was acting ir rationally. how does that speak to -- >> again, with regard to crashing through the gate, i dependent see the video that way. what i saw was at most a minor traffic accident. i don't even know if he could see the gate because of the time of day. the concept that he was acting ir rationally prespeezs that he somehow intended to break the law. and we don't have any evidence of that. and if he was, the sheriff's department hasn't told us what he was doing. what was he saying that was so ir rational? what was he doing that was so irrational? >> we have reached out to the sheriff's department. hopefully someone, we would love to have them on the show and answer some of those questions. >> i ke k tell you, they know the answers to those questions. >> hopefully we can get those answers on behalf of the widow of this man. but i have to ask about these two daughters. 9, 14 years of age. they were in the car. they witnessed this horrific incident. and i know police questioned them for multiple hours. how involved will they be in this case you're building against the county right now? >> well, they have a dual role, brooke. as heirs, they act in the capacity of plaintiffs in a wrongful death case, but what's unusual is not only were they plaintiffs, but they're also e presipient witnesses. they perceived it happening and they remember what happened. and i can tell you with regard to what their position is, we're not hearing anything from those girls saying their father was acting irrational. we know he wasn't armed with any kind of weapon. we we're not hearing anything out of these girls that are leading us to believe that there could even be the remotest justification for the use of deadly force. >> how are they? >> they are going to never be the same. this incident has scarred them and has left a mark that will never be healed. they are going to have problems as a result of this deputy's misconduct for the rest of their lives. >> brian dunn, we appreciate you coming on. we're going to continue this conversation. again, let me reiterate, we would love to speak with someone with the orange county sheriff's office. thank you, sir. it is a club that only allows men and despite protests, backlash and protests over the year, the club has all stuck to this rule. but there's a female ceo that causes a dilemma for this club. security. that's what matters to me... me? i've been paying in all these years... years washington's been talking at us, but they never really listen... listen...it's not just some line item on a budget; it's what i'll have to live on... i live on branson street, and i have something to say...

>> well, as has been the case, mike, whenever they question is asked, the -- all issues of membership are now and have been historically subject to the private deliberations of the members. and that statement remains accurate and remains my statement. >> so there you have it, no real change here in the membership policy. at augusta national. at least none announced today. here with me now, veteran sports columnist christine brennan. fellow tall female. i love it. are you surprised? >> no, i'm not. i asked this to billy payne's predecessor. he said it's a club matter, ma'am and all club matters are private. followed up with a number of questions. again, club matter, all club matters are private. now 13 years later, the exact same answer. >> so we're talk act virginia rometty. you know her. does she golf? >> she does play golf. i know that from reading the wire stories. they say she plays a little bit. we went to college together. she was a year ahead of me at northwestern university and we both serve on the board of trustees. i saw her a few weebs ago. didn't even think to ask her about this. this has certainly become a huge story after bloomberg broke the story last week. and of course, just with what the masters does not want, to have this issue, which is an achilles heel for them in this country in 2012, they're excl e excluding women members and it's coming new this big way. and knowing billy payne as i do, he was the atlanta olympic chief, it's known as the women's olympics, brooke. billy has been all about equality in the olympics and to think he's in charge of this club -- >> what do you think he's thinking? >> i think he's thinking he's got 300-plus members and he has to listen to a lot of them and there's old school thinking. one point we should make, though, jenny rometty could be a member of the club. and we're talking about this is because ibm, the previous ceos have been all members. and ibm is one of the big spon of the masters. >> thank you for pointing that out. i shouldn't assume that people knew that. martha burke, a thorn in the side of augusta national and also ibm. take a listen to what she said creptly. >> this problem is of their own making. they have had nine years to do something about this, and so has the club. why are they coming up two days out from the tournament, a brand-new female ceo that has been in place since january. my goodness, don't these guys think ahead? how do they run the business. >> my goodness she says. you laugh but is this a martha burk thing or a jenny rometty thing now. >> martha burk read my column in 2002. i wrote that it's unacceptable to discriminate against african-american men in golf but it's still fine and accepted to discriminate women. she went ahead and did what she did, wrote a private letter to johnson. he then made it public to make a big deal so he could then say we will not be dragged into this at the point of a bayonet. i think augusta wanted the fight frankly. i think martha burk is great. i think calling on corporations to be responsible and look like america in 2012 is exactly what most of us believe in. and so i think it's great. but in this case, this is now not about an outside pemp it's not about me asking a question or my colleagues. to your point, it is about the fact that jenny rometty is one of their own. do they want to discriminate against the ceo of ibm. >> this woman is running a mega corporation. she's the president, the ceo. she's obviously gone toe to toe with women and men in business. do you think she's sitting back listening to us pontificating on this story and getting a good chuckle. do you think if she really wanted to be a member, do you think she would be? >> it's possible she's been asked, it's possible she's a member. i'm anxious to get over there and see if i see her and if she's in a green jacket. we always thought we would find out, not by an announcement -- >> but by tossing a green jacket on someone. >> we would be walking around, seeing her in a green jacket. that's not so say maybe she won't be a member. maybe it will take some time before she becomes a member. i don't know. >> we will watch your twitter feed to see if you're tweeting a green jacket. so nice to see you. thank you so much. >> now this.
