calling the people who run them the drug lords next door. nick has been digging on this and is here to talk about it more this morning. >> good morning. >> let's talk about the numbers first. >> right. the numbers are staggering. when you look at 2006 you had 50 u.s. cities infiltrated by cartels. now, if you can believe it randi, five times that much, 1300 u.s. cities infiltrated by the mexican drug cartels. >> supplying drugs in the united states. how many drugs are we talking about here? >> this is the main market, that's what has to be understood. the united states 4% of the world's population consuming two-thirds of the world's illegal drugs, 60% to 70% of the illegal drugs. why are the cartels here? they're smart about being businessmen. this here is the market for the cartels to operate. >> targeting specific kinds of communities? small cities versus big cities? >> that's a great question because this new phenomenon as you mentioned, it's

phenomenon. they're building roots and becoming more comfortable here. intersections, atlanta, los angeles, chicago, new york, the traditional hubs for cartel activities. what we're seeing now are smaller cities infiltrated, wilmington, north carolina, states like wyoming, montana, kings town, rhode island if you can believe it. >> you'd never think that. you and i both have spent time on the border, you've certainly spent more time there, it's what you any they come across the border, knit texas towns or arizona towns. when you think about rhode island or montana, we never would imagine that. >> so far away. we don't want to scare anybody here. we want to report the facts. the truth is experts agree on this, we're not going to see the mexican-style violence that we see in mexico spill over in the united states. it there has been targeted cartel hits on specific people in the united states, having said that it's bad for business for the cartels to bite the hand that feeds them. as we mentioned, this is the world's largest consuming drug nashgs the united states and it it would be bad for business.

for the cartels they have a sort of respect for the u.s. authorities in their swift action so doesn't make sense to bring that style of violence here to the u.s. >> can the u.s. authority dozen anything about it, or has it gotten so big it's out of control? >> the way the cartels are moving into these smaller cities, randi, they're operating under the cover of a growing latino communities. you see places like north carolina having a large boom in that latino population it allows it easier access for the cartels to blend in and hide under that cover. so it's a tough road ahead for u.s. authorities, that's for sure. >> nick valencia, appreciate your reporting. washington, the debate over immigration is heating up following the obama administration's shift in immigration policy. it could affect 1 million young people in the country illegally but who president obama says are americans in every single way but one, on paper, they are immigrant as who came no-to-the

was continuously resided in the country for five years. they must currently be in school, graduated from high school or be a u.s. military veteran. they cannot have been convicted of a crime and cannot be older than 30. let's talk to athena jones about this. what's the reaction to the obama administration's new policy there on capitol hill? >> reporter: well, good morning, randi. as it may not be a surprise to you, democrats are applauding this move, celebrating it. illinois senator dick durbin called it historic humanitarian moment. new jersey senator robert menendez said it's something that will change young people's lives forever. republicans are angry. they say this is an end run around congress, questioning the president's legal authority to make the move and say it could hurt unemployed americans who are looking for jobs, giving young undocumented immigrants work permits. spy ei spoke with congressman lamar smith about this. let's hear what he had to say. >> i think the american people are getting tired of this pre

picking a picking and choosing what laws to enfirst open maybe you can do that in another country but this is a president sworn to you hole the constitution of the united states. >> reporter: that's just one example of what we have been hearing from republicans, randi. >> and so can they do anything to block this? that's the big question. can republican dozen anything about this new policy? >> well, that's exactly the question we put to representative smith. he said that they could, congress could try to use the power of the purse withhold any funds that would be used to implement this policy. they could also bring a resolution -- inter deuce a resolution in congress, disagreeing with president obama and even try to file a lawsuit to take the president to court for not upholding the law. at the sam time congressman smith told us he thinks it's going to come down to how it plays out in the court of public opinion. as he believes he thinks the american people don't want to see this kind of approach, randi. >> athena jones, thank you very

good morning, everyone. greece is gearing up for a pivotal election tomorrow. no less than the country's future in the eurozone is at stake. voters returned to polls to pick a new parliament after the vote ended in a stalemate. the outcome is anyone's guess. greece has been ravaged by debt and recession, voters will pick between supporters and opponents of an international bailout bup that bailout comes with a catch. drastic spending cuts and tax hikes. whatever they decide, it will have a big impact on the global and u.s. economy. desperation for greek families. we've talked about the country's financial problems and its affect on our own economy. there's another side to the story a story that ends with greek families torn apart. cnn's matthew chance takes a look.

>> reporter: these are the youngest victims of greece's economic despair. abandoned not through lack of love, but money. we gained access to this orphanage in athens where care workers say they've witnessed a surge in the number of greek families unable to feed and clothe their children. >> i think it's first time for us and i'm working since 1982, so for first time i see so many poor families ask for help for their own children. >> reporter: austerity and years of recession are literally breaking up families here. of course, there have always been orphans, children in care in greece. but what's changed over the course of the past two years is this, previously, children in care came from problem families, parents who were drug addicts or alcoholics. but over the past two years,

that's transformed dramatically. the vast majority now come from families who simply can't afford to look at after their children. parents like this woman, a single mother, unemployed, and unable, she says, to care for her three children. we caught one of her rare visits. please to meet you. how are you? >> michaela. >> reporter: good to see you giving up this family, she told me was painful but in greece's economic climate still her best option. >> translator: it's really difficult. really tragic for a true mother to leave her children but when you understand they are not at fault and deserve a future, it's bettor make a move like this than have them beside you without even a plate of food. >> reporter: who do you blame for putting you and your family

in this situation? do you blame the government? do you blame the economic crisis? who do you hole responsible? >> translator: for me, it's all of those who govern. they've all looked out for themselves instead of the people. and the poor like us should be the responsibility of the state. >> reporter: but this is the terrible social price of greece's economic crisis. even for its youngest, most vulnerable, the state can barely afford to care. >> this is a problem that's grown over the past two years. and it may get even worse before it gets better. right now nearly 23% of all greek families with children under the age of 18 are on the verge of poverty. one minute the man was reading along the chicago river bank, the next he had fallen in, in danger of drowning until kayakers came to his rescue. in the entire history of the u.s. military this has never happened before. the pentagon announced it's celebrating gay pride month. p

paper. >> this woman is considered an undocumented immigrant. she's been waiting to this announcement since moving to the u.s. at age 15.

pass the dream act and we have the majority of the support from americans, more than 70% of americans support the dream act. in the past it was just a minority of senators who filibustered the legislation. so i think it's time to pass it. and we need to make it at the federal level so it's permanent. we don't have -- we're not in risk that other administrations change the policy in the future. >> especially because the dream act is a path to citizenship and the new policy from the obama administration is not, right? >> that's correct. it's only temporary. it's for two years. and then after two years there's a lot of questions that need to be answered. we don't know what's going to happen after two years. and if subsequent administrations want to backtrack this policy, there

they will be able to do it. >> the obama administration has been under a lot of scrutiny over the years for their number of deportations, about 400,000 or so. now this sudden announcement during an election year just a few months away from the election itself, how much of those do you think is about politics? >> i think every politician, every decision that they make, is a strategic and they want to secure their re-election. i think that both parties have been playing politics with the latino community and it is our responsibility to step up and not allow to be treated as a second-class citizen. and latinos are watching. and they're going to be voting for pro-dream candidates. and our responsibility as student movement is going to be informing and educating our communities about who is with us and who is against us. >> the supreme court, as you well know, is about to hand down its opinion any day now over

arizona's very controversial immigration bill, anti-immigration bill. what are you hoping to see come out of that? >> well, whatever the decision the supreme court makes is not going to change for arizona. it's been implemented before sb1070 existed. latinos are going to be openly discriminated. but our message is there's still hope because even if this supreme court is not in our benefit, there's other lawsuits, like the friendly house versus whitely that are continuing pushing for justice. so we're telling our communities not panic and we hope that the rest of the country's watching and twhe mahey make the wise de of not implementing similar laws because there t. will affect the economy. >> good luck with your efforts as well.

attorney and a former prosecutor. the prosecution is expected to rest, testimonies have been more riffic, as you've been following this. is this enough? have they done a good job proving their case so far that they're ready to rest next week? >> most people have been following this closely think prosecutors have done an excellent job at presenting their case. you have a large number of victims here, 2eten victims involved in the indictment, and the indicate has gone in very, very smoothly for a sexual abuse case. usually it's hard to get the witnesses in, sometimes they break down on the stand and they don't get the details out that are necessary. but witness after witness here has told a compelling story of sexual abuse and sexual misconduct that i think prosecutors are probably pretty happy with in terms of the quality of the evidence so far. >> did it seem to go quickly for you? i mean in a case like this? >> yes, it went with remarkably

speed. the -- first of all the case went to trial quickly. usually it takes a year. this moves to the courtroom quickly. the case itself, i would have expected, for instance in new york, this would have taken three, four weeks, maybe five weeks to try this case. and they have put this thing in in a week, which is very good for the prosecutors, randi, because there's something called a numbing effect that sets in with jurors. when you hear one tragic story told after another tragic story, believe it or not you kind of get used to it and you get numbed. it's very, very good to put in relatively quickly to it remains fresh in the jury's mind. good week for the prosecution. >> let's talk about the defense, because sandusky's defense will begin presenting its case next week. it's believed they're going to argue accusers embellished their stories, motivated by financial gain of a civil suit. how do you think that defense will play out? will it work? >> i think they're going to have trouble with it because in order to prove that they originally were trying to say these kids

were in conspiracy with one another and they were sort of tayloring their stories to look alike and to coincide, to help their civil lawsuits. but they really haven't been able to put too much up on the board in terms of showing some sort of a conspiracy. but they -- they came out with a second, really, defense yesterday which is something called histrionic personality disorder. they're now saying that sandusky suffers from this condition, which is this odd psychological condition that causes you to seek attention and sometimes act in a seductive, inappropriately seductive way, and they're saying this will explain his odd behavior with children in shower rooms, and there's going to be expert psychological testimony on it next week. i think you're going to see a very, very interesting week in court next week, as this psychological defense develops. >> certainly. do you think he'll take the stand, and should he in. >> most attorneys, i think,

representing him, wouldn't put him on the stand in a million years. you know something? i think he will take the witness stand. frankly the case against him has gone in so well for the prosecution, his only hope is to take the witness stand and somehow convince the jury that he's innocent. so i think he will take the stand. and if he suffers from this histrionic personality disorder his lawyers say he has, what more attention-getting maneuver can there be than taking the witness stand? i think he will take it, and i think we're going to have an interesting week of testimony next week. >> i think he's going to have a lot of explaining to do on that witness stan for sure. let's talk about this other case that we've been following. i was in texas this week, this case of child abuse, a texas father apparently beating this man to death after he allegedly caught him, this 47-year-old man, attempting to rape his 5-year-old daughter at the family's farm in shiner, texas. locals in the small town are voicing their support. listen.

>> in the defense of her, trying to get her away from him, that he struck the individual in the head several times. >> i don't think he should be arrested for it. i don't think any charges should be filed. >> if somebody abused my grand child like he did i think he deserved everything he got. >> especially 4 years old, that's terrible. >> yes. >> so now the investigation continues, paul. and then it will go to the district attorney who will then take it to a grand jury. what determines, in this case, if it was a justified killing or a crime? i mean, obviously he killed the guy but how do we know if it was self-defense? >> well, the law here is similar to the law in a lot of states. we've heard a lot about the stand your ground law in florida, texas has one as well. but even if you didn't have stand your ground the law generally says that, if you, yourself, are in danger physical danger of serious attack or death, you can defend yourself. similarly, you have the right to

defend another person who is in danger of serious physical injury. now certainly a little girl, 4-year-old girl being raped is in dangerous of serious physical injury your allowed to use deadly physical force in that situation. this would be justifiable homicide if there's proof that the force was used to protect the little girl. of course what we don't know and what's hard in a case like this, there are only probably three people in that -- i think it took place in a barn, randi, did it not? >> right. >> only three people there. the girl's not in a position to testify and it would be terrible if forced to testify. you only have the father's testimony as to what he observed and a grand jury's going to have 0-to-say is that justifiable homicide or a vengeance killing? was the individual he killed trying to get away when he was killed? i understand it was a beating and we'll have to see what the autopsy says also, how severe a beating was it. obviously it killed him. but you know, what parts of the

body were involved, were weapons involved. prosecutor and the grand jury will look at all of these things. >> he did show signs of remorse, he certainly didn't mean to kill him but it is an interesting case, getting lots of attention and lots of folks tweeting about it as well. paul, thank you very much. >> nice being with you. we want to update you on a story we told you about last week. a retired texas firefighter got fed up with noise coming from a birthday party at his neighbor's house he went over with a video camera and called 911. take a look at what happened next. >> stop right now or i will shoot you. stop! get back! >> a houston jury has now convicted raul rodriguez of fatally shooting his neighbor. it took the jury a few hours to reach the verdict. rodriguez claimed he was within his rights under the stand your ground law, it's the castle doctrine similar to the claim made by george zimmerman's in

florida's trayvon martin shooting case. the rodriguez jury didn't buy that defense. the sentencing phase of his trial is under wauy and could face life in prison, killing the fou young father. president obama makes a shift in policy but what will it mean for the people affected? we're going in focus on the topic of immigration.

♪ blinded me with science welcome back. in our top story that we're putting in focus this morning, the obama administration announced that it will stop deporting young, illegal immigrants brought to the u.s.

as children. but only if they meet certain requirements, like living in the u.s. for at least five years and not having any felonies on their record. earlier this morning i asked phil kent, executive director of the american immigration control foundation what he thinks of this new policy change. >> i think it's a usurpation of the role of congress. this is an area with regard to, talking about amnesty for illegal immigrants, whether you agree with it or not this ought to be done by our legislative branch. again, an overreach. >> do you think this is violating the constitution? >> i think it's an unconstitutional usurpation. i think it's lawsuit time. >> oh boy, lawsuit time. just what we need, more of those in washington, right? >> right. >> but do you agree, even if you don't agree with how it's done, do you agree changes do need to be made? >> i think everyone's in favor of comprehensive immigration reform. i think everyone from the right to left and the middle agrees that the immigration system has been broken and the federal

government under favarious administrations had not secures the border. if we secured the border we wouldn't be talking about the problem. >> let me share with you what senator durbin said. the decision to extend temporary legal status to dream act student is an historic humanitarian moment. the action will give young immigrants their chance to come out of the shadows and be part of the only country they've ever called home. so if this isn't the way to do it, what should be done with these illegal immigrants? should they just be sent back to their country? >> well we have to demagnetize the magnets that bring illegal immigrants and their families here. we have to tighten up employer sanctions as the obama administration's doing. we have to do e-verify, as many states and the national government is trying to do. we have to ban illegals from our colleges. we have to make sure that american workers are protected first. this order by president obama fridays a stab in the back to the american worker especially at a time of high unemployment. we've got more people in the workforce. we have to have something done

for these young people, these students especially. we sympathize with them but we cannot do this -- this actually makes the problem worse, what the president did. >> well, according to janet napolitano they're not getting benefits or help while here, just going to be allowed to stay. they came here, you know, they didn't know that they were doing anything wrong when they came over here in many cases. so you still think they should just go back? >> what we're going to have to do is have some sort of program, i think we agree on this, where i think if they're students and most of them are students, you have to give them a student visa but go back to their country of origin and reapply, along with those folks who play by the rules and legally come to america and who want to be permits residents. we have just now willy-nilly given 800,000 to 1 million people work permits, and we still have broken the rules here. >> you think it's going to make immigration problem worse? >> it is. here's what's going to happen. you know this, you cover this all the time.

there's going to be more protests that these people don't have the rights of citizens or permanent residents, there's taxation without reputation. they're going to be demanding citizenships. that will be more tensions and more protests now. >> and you can catch the entire interview and much more later today. just check out my newsroom blog at cnn.com/randi. you'll find everything you need right there. recognize this guy? it's coming. oh yeah. actor chris pine. he's got a new highly anticipated film coming out this month and he gave me a sneak peek and told me why he had a personal connection to the script.

summer's a time for big blockbuster movies. alex kirtsman is behind a lot of them he's written and produced movies like transforms,er star trek, mission impossible iii. he's written "people like us." >> your father left you this, shaving kit. >> $50,000. >> i'm supposed to give this to someone i've never met. >> chris pine plays a smooth-talking salesman who is drowning in debt when his father dies he inherits $150,000 but there's a catch. it's not for him. he's supposed to give it to his sister that they never knew existed. i sat down with pine and kirtsman to chat about the film. alex, let me start with you.

the movie's loosely based on your life. how much of yourself would you say you put in the movie? >> i would say i put 100% of myself in the movie. i would say the plot's not -- it took eight years to write and part of why it took it's a years was a separating of truth from fiction. my dad had had another family before mine and divorced and met my mom and then had us, and he knew -- we knew about them growing up we just didn't know them. i met my half-sibs when i turned 30. they -- the eight years of writing was working through of that discovery and the movie that you saw i think reflective of a lot of the emotional experience. >> this is the first mof yo you directed. >> it was so great. i was surrounded by an unbelievably tal ee e talented giving 100% of themselves every day and a crew vastly underpaid and were there because they wanted to be there, you know? that was beauty of the

experience, i think, for everybody, was that it was everybody was there because they felt so -- they felt connected to the material. >> harder or easier because it was so personal to direct it? >> i actually think it was easier. it gave me a confidence to speak with a sense of experience and authority about the material but the fun of it was to be open enough to let everybody do what they do. >> chris, your character, sam, had a lot of baggage. did that -- that is something that would draw you to the script? >> any actor would say the more complicated a character is, the more fun it is to bring to life. >> hi. i'm sam. >> sam had been one note or just a jerk or holy authentic and just wouldn't have been any fun. what i liked is going from a to z. i liked going from the character in the beginning who is a bit of a salesman in life and at work and someone at the end who i think is a bit more grounded and

capable of connecting. >> you both, as i mentioned, worked together on "star trek" and you wrapped up the sequel, right? any secrets maybe? any little tidbits, any teases. >> we would if we could. we both get thrown in pair amount jail. the fun was watching the bridge crew come together. they start separately, they all merge. but just because they're brought together at end of the first movie doesn't mean they're the bridge crew you remember from the original series. they have a lot of experiences before they become the tight-knit group. we didn't assume they were functioning like a well-oiled machine a lot of what's going on is the crew sort of working toward that goal. >> forbes last year dubbed you as hollywood's secret weapon. grossing more than $3 billion at the box office in seven years. how do you feel about being hollywood's secret weapon. >> it's a very flattering moniker and it's, frankly, something that i think i have to fully get out, remove from my

head in thinking about work. and to be able to make movies like this to have the ability to tell personal stories, small stories that are about families and to have the fun of letting your inner kid play on movies like "star trek" or "transformers" or "spider-man" is a gift. it's flattering but it's all about the work. >> well, thank you to both you've. >> thank you. >> thanks for having us. >> "people like us" opens in theaters june 29th. for the "star trek" sequel, you'll have to wait longer for that one. set to release in 2013. ♪ [ upbeat ] [ barks ] beneful playful life is made with energy-packed wholesome grains... and real beef and egg. to help you put more play in your day. those surprising little still make you take notice. there are a million reasons why. but your erectile dysfunction that could be a question of blood flow. cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready.

humanitarian moment in history critics call the move outrageous, even arrogant. plus, an international manhunt under way this morning for this man, accused of shooting three people at a canadian university. we'll bring you his mother's plea. a soldier and his team hit by a roadside bomb in afghanistan when suddenly a shadowy figure emerges from a suspicious vehicle. he fires. but it turns out the person is a prominent civilian, not the enemy. now the soldier faces charges. we'll talk with the former j.a.g. officer about the case and why this soldier could go to jail. hello and good morning, everyone. i'm randi kaye. it is 9:00 on the east coast, 6:00 a.m. out west. thanks for joining us. syria is becoming too dangerous, even for the united nations. the u.n. is suspending all activities in the violence-torn

country. from now on, u.n. observers will no longer conduct patrols there, unrest has ratcheted up in the past ten days with entire towns coming unrelentless shelling and civilians and children getting knifed and shot. around 300 unarmed observers are in syria to try to monitor a u.n.-proposed peace plan that has all but been ignored. greece is gearing up for a pivotal election tomorrow, no less than the country's future in the eurozone at stake. voters return to the polls to pick a new parliament after last month's vote ended in a stalemate. greece has been ravaged by debt and recession. voters pick between supporters and opponents of an international bailout. but that bailout comes with a catch, drastic spending cuts and tax hikes. whatever they decide, it will have a big impact on the global and u.s. economy. the future of pivotal u.s. ally egypt is at stake this weekend. millions of egyptians heading to the polls to pick a new president. two days of voting is under way

in the presidential run-off. some voters say it is no choice at all. they're picking between islamist candidate and the ousted leader mubarak's right hand man. tensions are high after they ordered the parliament dissolved. many accuse egypt's rulers of essentially carrying out a coup. some are expressing relief while others are clearly outraged. talking about the fallout from the obama administration's decision to stop the deportation of some illegal immigrants. athena jones has been gathering reaction from both sides of the political aisle. >> could we have your thoughts on immigration? >> reporter: mitch mcconnell refused to answer shouted questions about the obama administration's new immigration policy but the reaction from other congressional republicans was strong texas congressman lamar smith calls the move an amnesty, that would encourage

fraud and illegal activity. >> i think the american people are getting tired of this president picking and choosing what laws to enforce. that's not democrat ic way. maybe you can do that in another country but this is a president sworn to uphold the constitution of the jews some members took to twitter senator graham of south carolina tweeting president obama avoids the hard work of fixing an immigration system which is broken and fractures along numerous fronts. republicans say the president is bypassing congress, which has repeatedly failed to pass dream act legislation that would give young, undocumented immigrants brought to america illegally by their parents, a path to citizenship if they meet certain criteria. democrats like dream act co-sponsor senator dick durbin are applauding the administration's move. >> i believe that this is an important step forward. >> our thanks to athena jones. we continue our in-depth look at issue of immigration in our next hour. is the obama administration's

american troops in afghanistan, they have to make

life and death decisions in split second. that was the case of army sergeant first class waller taylor. a fascinating story in the los angeles times that got our attention. his squad was hit by a roadside bomb, then a firefight with insurgents add in a mysterious black car drive into the middle of it all. when a figure steps out dressed all in black. what would you do? sergeant taylor fired, and hit his target, killing that mysterious figure. it wasn't an insurgent, but a prominent female doctor. what followed for sergeant taylor may surprise you. ten days after the incident he was badly injured in another roadside bombing. after he received his purple heart. he also learned he's facing charges for the killing. joining me now criminal defense attorney and former j.a.g. officer randy kravis. good morning. >> good morning. >> what do you think of these charges? this is such an interesting case. >> it is an interesting case. the charges are negligent homicide and dereliction of duty.

he's not charges with murder. no one's accusing him of intentionally killing anybody, anything like that. so the issue with this case with these particular charges is going to be his judgment. did he act the way a reasonably careful person would have acted under the same or similar circumstances. so if a reasonable person under the circumstances would have fired, if a reasonable person under the circumstances would have felt the need to act in self-defense, then by law he's not guilty of these charges. >> but why would they even bring charges? when you look at war you have civilian casualties, sad as it might sound it's part of war, right. >> it's part of war. that doesn't mean that soldiers have carte blanche authority to do whatever they want because they're in a combat zone. there are rule of engagement that require a soldierer to identify whether a person is an enemy combatant and determine whether that person has hostile intentions or not. they have to abide by those

things. and if they don't, that may end up resulting in charges. >> so he'll have to say i guess look at his mental state and what kind of fire they may have been under what the conditions were, it because in a case like that it's hard to make a split-second decision. >> that's the other side of it. the often "times" soldiers have one or two seconds to make that call and that seems to be what happened in his case. yeah, it's -- civilian casualties are part of combat. whether they result in criminal charges, really depend on the individual circumstances of each case. >> so in this case, president karzai in afghanistan got involved, called for an investigation. do you think that's why charges might have been brought? do you think they were politically motivated? >> absolutely. some have made the argument that our mission in afghanistan is as much a diplomatic and political one as it is a military one, and the fact is this is not your

ordinary civilian killed. this was a doctor. she was the head of the department of a nearby hospital. and i'm sure -- >> two others were killed. >> her sons or relatives of hers. this is the kind of high-profile civilian killing that i'm sure gives our military leaders worry, and it may be that they felt that politically they had no choice but to initiate charges against sergeant taylor. and it's interesting to note, too, sergeant taylor, as the leader of the unit, appears to be the only one facing charges, even though he wasn't the only one to actually fire. there was another person firing as well but he's not facing charges. sergeant taylor may be the political fall guy in all of this. >> talk about the discrepancies. we've talked about sergeant taylor's account and "the l.a. times" but also reporting that one witness say his heard sergeant taylor say something along the lines they got what they deserve. >> yes. >> does this come down to sore of a he said, he said?

he's said i never said anything like that. >> you're absolutely right about that. putting aside the legal issue of when a reasonable person would have do under the serbs there are big, important circumstances here. you have the statement of 24e got what they deserve, sergeant taylor deny temperature dee nig. the husband survived. he claims ha she raises her arms and shouted we're civilians and they fired anyway. again, sergeant taylor denies of this happening. the way the factual discrepe pan viz going to play out will impact how sergeant taylor is viewed whether he's viewed as a someone just doing his job or someone who callously and indiscriminately fired on civilians. >> interesting to follow. the hearing is this week. randy kravis, thank you very much. we should note that we have

reached out to both sergeant taylor's attorney and the military for comment, but we haven't received any calls back. andy cohen has advice for anyone a victim of bullying. i'll speak with the new york state senator trying to make cyberbullying a crime. but first, cnn's dr. sanjay gupta hosts the next list. sanjay has a preview. >> we're going to make a mess. like every good kid wants to do. >> calling me a kid. so here's a model. we've put two pieces of the conductive play-do in between an insulator. first we'll put a battery on. >> wow. >> we're able to -- >> that's amazing. >> plug that in anywhere. this man is about to be the millionth customer.

find someone who you can tell would be a support to you and tell them and share with them, and don't go through it alone because you're not alone. >> that was part of a recent conversation i had with andy cohen. great advice from him. some kids feel alone but it does get better. most kids aren't thinking about their future when he get bully. they end it, when we heard names like jamie rhoden mayer, 14 when he hanged himself outside his come. amanda 15 decided to jump in front of a bus. both teens from new york, and cyber bullying is blamed in both cases. nearly 10,000 new york state students participated in the largest cyberbullying census ever conducted and the results were really shocking. and disturbing. new york state senator jeffrey klein decided to use the results making cyberbullying against the law in new york. he's joining me now to discuss

this. mr. klein, doorgood morning. >> second degree man slotter to include bully side. wouldn't most bullies be considers juveniles? >> the legislation would merely bring stalking laws as well as aggravated harassment laws into the 21st century, the digital age. we can bring cases against young people for stalking and aggravated harassment. i think just adding the crime of cyberbullying to crimes makes a lot of sense. i think we have to be mindful of the fact that things have changed. words can kill. you know in the past we used to tell our kids sticks and stone can break your bones but words can never harm you. now we're seeing words can kill. >> the survey that we mentioned the results again, they are alarming, 68% say that they had witnessed or been the victim of

cyberbullying, 70% believe that cyberbullying should be illegal. 94% identified at least one form of cyberbullying in the survey. why does your legislation only target cyberbullying. >> i think it was important to develop a comprehensive piece of legislation here in new york state. and i throughout the best way to find out how we can bheest do tt is listening to honesty and wisdom of our young people. that's in why i works on the first ever new york cyberbullying census. 10,000 people answered the survey, it was anonymous, they were very honest in their answers. we found was quite alarming, 70% believe that cyberbullying should be a crime, 63% said we need to enhance the educational component. and i flknow one thing disturb, 20% actually report cases of cyberbullying. i think we already know how to deal with tangible bully but i

think now we have to approach and attack the problem of cyberbullying. >> so let me ask you what's going to happen with your proposal, because the governor, andrew quomo said he's not going make -- he's not going to make the cyberbullying a crime, kids are not going to be charged with a crime in these cases. he's questioned what are we doing with 14 and 15-year-old sfz where are we going to put them if charged with a crime. how do you respond to that? >> we have a week to go in the legislative session in albany. i'm hopeful we tack a comprehensive approach. education is a very important tool, i understand that. i think at the same time, we need to make cyberbullying a crime. randi, when 70% of the respondents in my survey state that cyberbullying should be a crime, these are young people, that means they know that presently it's not. and when we pass criminal justice legislation, it has a chilling effect. and i believe if young people know it's going to be treated as

a crime, a class a misdemeanor they won't commit acts of cyberbullying. i think we need to have that comprehensive approach. education is important. >> mainly it's a slap on the wrist. even in cases where -- i covered a story in florida not long ago where a girl had been cyberbullied and ended up hanging herself in her bedroom. you know but nothing happens to these kids and they had bullied her on facebook. >> you're absolutely right, randi, and it is a problem and we have to deal with it as such. we have to move away from the whole punishing 14-year-olds or 15-year-olds. under our present law in new york state, if a minor, a juvenile, commits a crime, as heinous as an adult, we prosecutor them as such. i don't think this is any different. this is merely updating our penal law to include cyberbullying as a part of harassment and stalking. i think it makes a lot of sense. i think if we treat it as a crime, kids will stop doing it,

and i think that's the only way we're going to potentially save lives in new york. >> what is the role, do you think, of a school, of a teacher, and of a parent who might or might not be aware that bull ligying is taking place. >> education is an important component of a piece of legislation as well. i think we have to do a better job in educating not only our parents and teachers and superintendents, but also our young people in our schools. and i think that's an important approach. i'm just saying that we need to have both an educational approach as well as a criminal justice approach and that's how we're going to be able to solve this problem. >> you don't think -- it's not done though the governor said he's not -- he's not going to put -- he's not going to make it a crime? >> in albany, like in many places, it's not over until it's over. so i hope this past week, our last week, we can develop a comprehensive approach. and if not, i'm going to spend a lot of time in the offsession

making sure that we can have a piece of legislation in new york and join 30 other states, by the way, in the united states, in making cyberbullying a crime. >> no matter what happens in this session, senator, i certainly applaud your efforts. jeffrey klein, thank you so much for what you're doing for this. >> thank you, randi. shocking story to tell you about out of texas. a district spokesman for san antonio says a teacher took drastic measures against a student accuse of being a bully. the teacher told more than 20 other classmates to line up and hit the 6-year-old. a police report alleges the teacher told the classmates to quote, hit him harder. she will now lose her job. another teacher has been put on paid administrative leave. prosecutors are looking into what to file formal charges. if you'd like to sound off on stories about bullying, i encourage you to tweet me now. use #bullyingstop $here. fine me on twitter.
