but at this point, don, it s a negotiation, and i think the committee will do whatever they can to get that testimony out of cipollone. john, you ve been saying on this program and to anyone who will listen that you think it s critical cipollone testifies publicly like you did. are there legitimate privilege issues that would justify him testifying in a transcribed interview limited to specific topics? or should he appear in a more public manner? i think he s got to appear in a more public manner, and i don t think there s any privileges in that area they re focusing on. we ve already had courts look at the issue. there s no attorney-client privilege for crime or fraud. cipollone i think has a larger problem. he advised the president against doing these things because there were conspiracies involved, several of them. what s to say that he s ever declared he s not part of that conspiracy? if he s remaining silent he is certainly encouraging and enabling that done conspira
after he did tell the police he could not move. and he s even seen being dragged to a cell, propped against a bed. an assistant police chief has said cox was mistreated and should have received medical attention immediately. and the mayor has said what happened was completely unacceptable. and by the way civil rights attorney ben crump has been hired by the family, don. and we re going to speak to him now. joining me now randy cox s sister and attorney ben crump who s representing mr. cox. thank you very much for joining us. i really appreciate it. letoya, i m so sorry for your family. i understand your brother randy is in intensive care. can you tell us how he s doing? yes, he is in intensive care. right now he s awake, but he s currently paralyzed from the chest down.
convicted felon even though the media has strongly reported that, had his whole life ahead of him. he s going to have a struggle every day of his life just to do the things we all take for granted since he s paralyzed from the chest down. so the sitting leadership needs to step up to try to right this wrong. your words are not enough. we need to see action. sorry, ben, i thought you were finished with your statement. letoya, what would you like to see happen? i would like for the officers involved to be fired and arrested and any bystanders that were watching, i need something done to them, too. maybe not fired, maybe retrained or something because people watched and when i watched the video i had to turn it off. i didn t complete it. after he was in the wheelchair, i turned it off. it made me sick to my stomach.
