sufficient evidence to charge that person and bring it to trial. so it sounds to me that she can be tough and yet be fair. and i think that s what we want in prosecutors. we want just toibs served but we want the toughness to be balanced with fairness. russell smith and ken patwits, thank you for your time tonight. thank you. still ahead, switching gears, former president bush rushes out to defend his tax cuts and the people he calls the quote so-called rich. we ve got a different view on that today from president obama. stay with us. it s very important to understand
well i think she s going to keep her eyes on the prize. i think her her goal is going to be to gather as much information as she can to make a charging decision. as far as the impact of what s happened today, i think that the most obvious down side to it is likely to be the fact that in the event that mr. zimmerman is charged and arrested, the prosecutor s going to be looking for a higher bond or no bond at all because now there are questions about whether or not he is, number one a flight risk, and number two a danger to the community. those questions have probably always been there, but probably weren t as pointed as they are now. now, let me go back to you a minute, ken, i want to ask russell something about ms. corey. but i want it ask you this, ken, as he states about the arrest, the bond issue and all of that, wouldn t you also say that part
sometimes they re ear drug dealers. sometimes they put themselves in harm s way. and you know what? we fight just as hard for them when we re done with this, you ll know what we could do with what we had. you ll have every answer you need. this is how she explained her prosecution style. with would that speak to you saying, that even if someone tries to despairage the victim, that has nothing to do with her going after the evidence and that the person that killed them or shot them or assaulted them was in fact guilty after crime? ken? sounds to me like she takes to heart what prosecutors are supposed to be, which is ministers of justice. they are supposed to seek the truth, sometimes the truth warrants that someone is charged with a crime and facees a very stiff sentence, and sometimes it it means that charges are not filed and the person hasn t broken the law or there is not
to prosecuting violent crime honestly. she s a very, very involved in the victim s rights movement. some critics say that she loses sight of her obligation because she is so determined to get justice for victims. so you know, that is her nature. and it s never stopped her from doing a good job or being a tenacious prosecutor. but some people do believe that it causes problems in her perspective. now, ken, the most controversial case prior to the trayvon case was the case of christian fernandez, a 12-year-old, cori is charging with first degree murder as an adult. when she explained how she deals with victims first, prosecution style, listen to her. i ll read it to you. sometimes, this is her saying this, sometimes the people murdered aren t innocent.
defense attorneys and from ft. lauderdale, former prosecutor, thanks both ever you for joining me tonight. ken, in your eyes, what is the biggest development from this afternoon s pros pres conference with zimmerman s former attorneys. i m amazed by the entire pro press conference. you would have to hold me down and scare into the noon day wide-eyed sun before i would make one of my clients look back on national television. when they got on national television they made their client or former client, mr. zimmerman, look bad. they took away credibility. they chastise him in public for calling the prosecutor. quite frankly, i m amazed at this turn of developments. i don t believe that what they did was necessarily professional. there may be some questions as to how they brought about this news conference.
