however to interpret it. lori lightfoot, the chicago mayor who has days left in office is now complaining that prosecutors are going easy on criminals. they re making it tough for the police. listen closely to her and to these other mayors. this is enlightening. if we say yeah, the police department is spending this time to put a case on and the judges and the prosecutors say we re going to let you out on electronic monitoring to wreak havoc again. if somebody musters the courage to come forward and identify the person that just shot up their neighborhood and sees them walking bold as day back on the street two days later, what does that say to them? you can t just allow our law enforcement agencies to decrease. we know what the consequences of that will be. we have about 2,000. they get out monday. they re doing the stickup on tuesday. and they snub their nose at the criminal justice system. they re violent. they re dangerous. some of them are dealing with real mental
Those costs. let s talk about what s coming very soon, this first trial of kenneth chesebro who initially the request from the d.a. was for march of 2024. kenneth chesebro s attorney said i want a speedy trial, which forced the hand of the d.a. to schedule, what, by the end of november? well, the beginning of november. the second term. but, you know, we were discussing before, the expectation likely was that there was no way d.a. willis and her team is going to be ready to proceed. expected to be a bluff. a bluff. and when that bluff is called, that s problematic. i was a prosecutor as well and criminal defense attorney now, very often with these felony indictments, the time is your friend. what can happen is many intervening factors, a witness doesn t become available anymore or a change in that testimony or some intervening factor we can t even contemplate, so time is often your friend. there is no advantage, especially with this magnitude of evidence that testimony and what is
This type of negligence, there has to be some sort of criminal liability attached to it. how could she still have charges for involuntary manslaughter? now in a scenario, we don t know if it s true where she was responsible for putting that live ammunition in there, if that were to be the case, then she would have a role in it certainly. he was holding the gun when it fired and hit her. so how could gutierrez be guilty or have charges and not baldwin at this stage? great point. there s an intervening factor. that is the hall, which is the individual. david hall, who was the assistant director. he s the one that handed the gun to alec baldwin and said it s cold, it fine. there s no sort of danger. you re absolutely right. if it went from just hannah reed to alex baldwin without this intervening step, yes, for sure involuntary manslaughter could
Counselor, thank you for coming back on with us. i have a dual question for you. how critical, really, is mueller s testimony under the be careful what you wish for caveat? and number two, what could the democrats be doing right now that you from the outside look at them and wish they were doing? so i think mueller s testimony is important. it might not have been after he wrote his report, the problem was this intervening factor of attorney general barr going out and spinning the report before anyone had a chance to look at it. you know, supreme court litigation we really think about framing the debate as kind of giving you the chief advantage, the first person to speak. normally that first speaker doesn t really distort the facts and cover stuff up. that s what happened with barr. so i think what s going on now and why you see, brian, these increasing calls for impeachment among democrats is because, frankly, they ve now read the
