unanimous vote to sentence someone to death. but in florida, the judge was able to decide on the death penalty for hurst. he brought it to the supreme court who ruled that it is not constitutional. the judge cannot change it. reporter: now juries will be more empowered to decide the maximum penalty, not judges. but that could also affect 400 florida inmates currently on death row, creating a potential mess in our courts. there will be a number of people where the sentences will have to be reheard. reporter: the state will have to go through every case and decide which ones to retry and which ones to commute. there will be inmates challenging their own death sentence. but steven crawford thinks it s necessary. we want a jury to make the decision, not an elected or appointed judge. that s what the case is really inmates that are already given the death sentence may have their sentence commuted to life in prison. we reached out to the attorney general s office th ....
who s international mep ship is working to improve the security condition worldwide. we start by reviewing some successful bott net take downs in recent years. they may prove instructive as they are successes. in 2008, the conflict worm was discovered. i had competing commercials security companies. members cooperated with each other to mitigate this global threat. then in 2011, the u.s. department of justice led operation ghost click, in which a criminal gang in estonia was arrested, charged with wire fraud and conspiracy. while shutting off the criminal infrastructure the victims depended on. my employer was the court-appointed receiver for the criminals internet connectivity and resources. i personally prepared, installed and operated the replacement servers necessary for that takedown. in each of these examples, we seed an ad hoc public/private partnership in which trust was established and sensety information, including strategic planning was shared without any c ....

i want to start by noting that the committee has been particularly supportive as the staff and the oversight investigation subcommittee for their work on this issue and their work with our agency we consider it to be a real partnership and we are very grateful for this committee s support. we have received a number of referrals from this committee and we appreciate your confidence and ability to work with the employees that your office refers. so that s one thing. it s already happening. we are doing everything that we possibly can. we ve set up a priority system and we free allocated staff to handle the va employee claims. but as the numbers increase its a very hard to keep up. we were at capacity before. in the retaliation cases now it exceeds 130, and the number as i mentioned continues to increase pretty much daily. we are an agency that has 120 employees more or less. we have jurisdiction for the statute for the reemployment rights act and we are working now on a d ....
