"cnn newsroom" continues right now. hello, everyone. nice to have you along with us on this thursday monk. i'm pamela brown in for ashleigh banfield. we start this morning with the deadliest train accident in spain in years. this new incredible video right here shows a terrifying moment when a high-speed train jumped the tracks and just before arriving at station in northwestern spain. at least 80 people were killed. 178 were injured. drug at least five americans. cnn's karl penhaul joins us now from spain where the incident happened. karl, tell us. just looking at that video sin credible. we see that first car making it around the tight curve there and the rest of the train just topples over.

al goodman is joining us now. al, tell us what happened with the crash. what are we learning? >> pamela, well, that video that you are just referring to from the railway video, no sound on that video. we see the moment of impact with the lead smoke motive coming past this area behind me and basically going off the track as well as the first passenger car. but something happened a little bit further back on the train. little bit of a puff or some sort of smoke. we are not sure what that is. investigators clearly taking a look at that. you can see the impact now. we have been here for hours. watching them lifting up these damaged, destroyed -- that have blood in them, seats are all assume billion. the scene must have been horrific and a third of the people aboard that train have already died. >> horrific. do we know anything more about the injured here? i'm assuming they hope reply

pulled all the passengers out of there. right? >> reporter: there are 90-plus injured in hospital. we are learning from the u.s. government embassy officials, five americans are in hospital. haven't been told the nationalities of the deceased or nationalityies -- >> having some technical difficulties will with al goodman. we will check back in with him to talk about the train crash. we want on move to tampa, florida. that's where a cargo train derailed overnight spilling ethanol into the streets there. joining us now to talk about this from wtsp, brae sonice to u here with us. where are we in the cleanup? >> reporter: spent the morning trying to make sure that this train doesn't catch fire. they have had eth moll spilled out from several of the cars in this and sits in the heart of

one of the busiest ports in the gulf of mexico. get lay of the land. even from right out here, outside main gate. you can see that black tanker you see is the last car on the train. as we move to the left you will see the next car seems to be tilting towards you. that's because it has come off the rails. then as we go to the left you will see through the trees just low black tankers. those are all tankers that carried ethanol on their side. they spilled from three of them and firefighters spent the might putting fire resistant foam on top of that ethanol to make sure it does not catch fire. eth moll is what's mixed in with gasoline in a lot of states. it is very flammable. they try to contain it with that. then they brought in contractors to actually stop the leaks in the tankers. now that's where they managed to do -- the state we are in now. stopped those leaks. they have contained the eth moll. their next big challenge is trying to get this train back on its rails to get it out of the way and get this port up and running fully again. they are bringing in equipment from atlanta. this actually -- to come down and hoist all of this up.

when you are dealing with tankers full of ethanol firefighters will be very wary as they go through that process. you hear trucks going by me at 9:00 this morning. port was able to divert all these big trucks around 10,000 a day lou side roads and detours to keep the port up and running. it is the biggest economic engine in the entire western part of central florida. they want to keep these jobs ready but are mindful of the safety concern. all the highly flammable fuel sitting right behind me. pamela? >> absolutely. very precarious situation there. good to hear that they stopped the leaks and contained the ethanol and hope to learn more about what perhaps caused that crash. thank you so much. we appreciate it. the leak of natural gas at that rig off louisiana is now out. the fire on the rig which erupted tuesday is nearly out, we are fold. the only contamination has been a light sheen on the water that quickly dissipated. in brazil, pope francis is in a sea of some 1 million young

lewd pictures of himself after his congressional resignation. and this is what weiner said after that event. >> the facts have not changed what i did was wrong. dishonored my wife, i compounded it by being dishonest with members of the media. that's the fact. it is also another fact that this is now behind me and i'm trying to look forward. >> during that event, the candidates were asked which social media outlets they used. as you can imagine, there was a lot of laughter to that question from the crowd. between wore only say that his campaign uses twitter. at that event weiner said he can't control what anonymous people may blog or say about his online transgressions. the woman in the latest scandal is not anonymous but is also not talking about it. randi kaye has more. >> reporter: the woman at the center of the latest anthony weiner sexting scandal is sydney

father. nobody answered the door when we went inside. that same friend also told me that sydney leathers never mentioned anthony weiner by name. but did say that she met a lot of people with strong political contact online. politics was her passion. it seems long before sydney leathers first communicated with anthony weiner, she had her eye on him. one of her websites that since has been removed listed him as one of her heroes. sydney leathers is now 23. her prepared says she never slept with anthony weiner or took any money from him. but that he did offer to help her get an apartment in chicago and suggested he visit her. at one point she told the website the dirty.com weiner asked her, quote, do me a solid and hard delete all our chats. randi kaye, cnn, princeton, indiana. to the aaron hernandez case. as another grand jury investigates him the patriots'

aaron hernandez is back behind bars this morning. yesterday was not a good day for his defense team. the probable cause hearing was postponed and the request for bail denied. susan candiotti has the story. >> reporter: the red-rorng jail jumpsuit is gone. for his third court appearance, football star aaron hernandez again wearing street clothes. a blazer and open-collared shirt, his tattoos no longer quite so visible. as expected, prosecutors want to delay for putting on more evidence relating to the murder charges against him. while a grand jury considers indictments that would move his case to a higher court. his defense team unhappy with the delays. >> given the facts of the case as we know them, we are confident that aaron is going to be exonerated and that -- when witnesses have to testify, that

a jury of aaron's peers will find she not guilty. in fact, had no part in the killing of odin lloyd. >> what do you expect them to say at this point? >> reporter: that's not all. a separate grand jurly good boston is examining mounting evidence that may link the former football player to an unsolved double murder drive-by shooting last summer. a law enforcement source telling cnn grand jurors have been looking at the case for two weeks. key piece of evidence, this suv with a layer of dust on it tow prosecuted the garage of hernandez's uncle in bristow, connecticut, but being used by the football player. in court tuesday a judge agreed to keep secret what was found in the suv because could it jeopardize the investigation. on the eve of training camp, new england patriots head coach bill belichick took questions about hernandez for the first time since his arrest and released from the team. >> having someone in your

organization that's involved in a murder investigation is a terrible thing. >> reporter: the coach says he's hurt, disappointed and admits the vetting process is far from perfect. >> i think that we will continue to try to look at ourselves in the mirror and see where we can do a better job. >> reporter: as odin lloyd's mother wiped tears from her eyes in court, former tight end hernandez mouthed "i love you" to his fiancee. the patriots moving on without him, a victim's family waiting for answers about the former player charged with murder. susan candiotti, cnn. >> when aaron hernandez was jailed, county officials took a close look at his multiple tattoos. at the time authorities told the boston herald they needed to be vigilant about possible signs of gang ties. the issue here isn't a new one. for several years the nfl looked for gang evidence in the touchdown celebrations and now cbs sports is reporting some nfl

teams may actually hire police experts to inspect the tattoos of nfl prospects. joining me now to discuss this is tim green, attorney, author and former nfl player. defense attorney mark and an attorney and talk show host, mo ivory. nice for you to be here with us today. tim, i want to start with you here. you offer the unique perspective because you actually played in the nfl. you have a lot of sources in the nfl. what are they will you about this? what are you hearing? >> some teams have already brought in consultants, gang consultants, the fbi, to examine players' past behaviors and to look at their tattoos. it is not a difficult thing for the league to do. i think after the hernandez situation, it will be standard. the reason it is not difficult is because every player who enters the national football league goes through the combine. not everybody dar but almost all players go through the combine. during that process, you are stripped down to your underwear.

you are practiced and filmed. it would be very easy for an expert in these matters to examine every player's tattoo coming into the league. >> assuming you actually went through that when you played for the nfl. is that right? >> yeah. yeah. it was while ago but yeah. >> we won't go that far back why are you laughing? >> i'm not laughing. what are you talking about? mark, i want to go to you now. do you think this is a me jerk reaction in the wake of everything with aaron hernandez? >> as long as they don't go too far. it could be a knee jerk reaction to the extent you are going to take a symbol on a -- of a tattoo and then suggest that you are going to take it to a committee. what does it mean? how will you interpret it? somebody young and dumb at 16, 17 and got a tattoo. you can understand what they mean by looking at them in large part. iffing in fact it is keep good people out, you have to be very careful. because now you are dealing with a subjective interpretation what something may mean and could

destroy somebody's potential career. as long as it is with moderation. >> there are several players that don't have a sketchy background who have tattoos. it is subjective. is this legal? can teams really hope to weed out players with gang ties by studying body art? >> you have to be careful about that. there are a lot of legal implications that can come from this. rights of privacy rights issues. we have to really consider that over 67% of the players in the nfl are african-american. 31% white. the other, you know, makes up of a small minority. i have to make -- think we would have to consider who are these experts that would be looking over these tattoo zps and what kind of bias do they bring to the table? are they aware of the concepts of racially proceed piling somebody for a tattoo that they might not necessarily be familiar with? or that they may think is a gang sign that actually isn't or was -- something like you said earlier, something somebody did in their youth, you are holding somebody's entire economic future in your hands.

i would think that you would be really careful about who you chose to make those decisions to make sure that they are not doing anything that could be discriminatory. when i heard the word cops being used as to who may be making the decision, that worries me. >> you talked about how evasive it was when you played for the nfl -- invasive it was when you played for the nfl. do you think will is a better way to analyze it rather than having cops come in and examine body work? >> the league's image is so valuable. they protect it and guard it very -- judiciously. they are going to do everything they can. however, you know a body art -- like the gang signals that players -- some players were doing after touchdowns, celebrations, part of that, it has no place in the national football league. the national football league does have the right to protect its image and to take steps to

keep people who have a negative impact on the image out. if someone had a tattoo with a swastika on their arm, it would be the same way. >> but sometimes those are not as obvious as swastikas. a swastika is a very obvious sign. for example, some signs that they were throwing up at the end of the games were signs for artists they love and record label that's love and people mistook those for gang signs. i think that there is definitely a gray area as to the knowledge of who is making those decisions that one thing is gang related versus another being totally entertainment. >> i want to add one thing. we -- cultural divide here. what's appropriate for one group or one culture or one background may be inappropriate for another. we have to be very careful that we don't step on each other's cultural ideas and what we think is appropriate or not. >> delicate, delicate situation

at hand here. we are going to have to end it here. i look forward to continuing this conversation offline. thank you to all three of you. i appreciate you coming to the show. a much more uplifting story involving an nfl player. jonathon willard went from tennessee titans to a real-life hero. willard was driving to training camp yesterday when he saw a car on fire. he then gestured for the woman driving the car to pull over. by that time the car was fully engulfed in flames. the former linebacker and another driver who had pulled over were able to get the woman, three children, and a dog out of the that car safely. he led clemson in tackles last season and signed with the titans as a tree free agent after this year's nfl draft. deputies say a man confesses to killing a sex offender and he had planned to target all those on the state registry. we are tracking this case. we will have the latest for you after this break. mom always got good nutrition to taste great. she was a picky eater. well now i'm her dietitian...

our next story sounds like an episode out of the crime drama. a south carolina man and his wife have been arrested for two murders. officials say that 30-year-old jeremy has confessed to the crime and allegedly said he killed charles parker and his wife because parker was a registered sex offender. investigators say that he even told them they arrested him just in time because he had planned to kill other sex offenders on the state registry. those suspects are facing would counts of murder but have not enter ad plea yet. let's bring in our legal panel once again. we have mark with us and mo ivory. good to see you again. this is scary stuff. sharon moody allegedly confessed to this. what kind of plea do you think he can enter? >> in south carolina, there is the death penalty. we are not sure yet what they will charge him with. will they ask for the death penalty or life in prison. obviously he is going to -- try to plea the deal down and ask for, say, manslaughter. i don't think there is anything but first-degree murder here.

where he had the intent to kill somebody. he planned it. he went to their house, pretended to be somebody he wasn't. got access to the inside and then killed this, you know, sex offender and his wife. not that i don't think that people have a real vengeance for people that do this to children or even to other adults, but this is not zimmerman vigilante justice in our new world. we cannot think that we can just decide now that we are the police and we will take care of anybody that we think is suspected of doing something or actually did something. it is problematic we are starting to see this kind of behavior going on in our country and, you know, that people think it is okay. >> yeah. this certainly takes to it a new level. what about his wife? christine moody didn't kill anybody but was present at that crime scene. she is being charged with murder as well. how does had a work? >> she is a co-conspirator and plans -- doesn't have to be the one that pulled the trigger. she was in on it all along. she will face the same charges that he did. i don't think that they will have hard time proving that she was completely a part of the

plan. she executed with him and they will prove all the elements they need to prove that she was part of the plan and she will suffer the same consequences as he does. >> mark, police say that moody also admitted to belonging to a white supremacist group and has tattoos on his head and neck. how do you think that could play into this case against him? speaking of tattoos, by the way. >> much like our last segment. i don't think there will be a an issue as to what a skinhead tattooed across your neck means. that's going to get into some of his background and such the reality of it is, free meditated murder from what the allegations are. as was just stated, there is no different than a bank robbery where some one a wheelman. if you are a participant with the primary off ender you are libel for that crime to equal amount as perpetrated. >> all right. just quickly here, mark. i think that this also begs the question about the sex offender registry. not defending sex offenders here but do you think there should be

modifications made, considering the fact that some of these sex offenders can be the target of hate crimes and considering the context of why they are on the sex offender registry. >> absolutely. it is very difficult because you got politicians who are not going to go out will and bring a cause of saying we -- we want to help sex offenders. we have issues that need to be looked at and not being looked at. 19-year-olds dating 16-year-olds in high school who are now on sex offender registries. they may be in the same grade or grade apart. we have all sorts of issues. everything from teenager looking on something on the internet to somebody that's going out and is a pedophile and harming and destroy something of our children. those are all different people that go on a different continuum. we need to have a look at what's appropriate. you know, we had -- the jimmy rice act. that means that -- people can be involuntary committed civilly for a long time if they are not cured. don't we also need to possibly consider finding out if some people who might have had a minor violation are cured? because once these people are stigmatized, not going to get jobs or really being kicked out of neighborhoods in a lot of ways. what are we doing with them? how are we going to keep them

from committing crimes in the future the if they can't find work or a place to live? we need to take a hard look at what our laws are and make author we are applying them in a way that shows justice and fair. >> certainly an interesting question and interesting debate. thank you so much. we will see new a few minutes. let's check the top stories on this thursday morning. speed may have been the main factor in the crash of a spanish passenger train. at least 08 people died in that crash. 36 people, including several children are in critical condition this morning. attorney general eric holder says he will rye to stop texas from passing a voter i.d. law. he wants a court order to force the state to get approval from the federal government or a court before making any changes to its voting laws. the texas voter i.d. law was blocked by a lower court. last month the supreme court threw out that ruling and ordered the court to reconsider it. still ahead, a big day in the court-martial of army private bradley manning.

edward snowden cools his heels in a moscow airport. his impact is being felt on capitol hill. last might the house narrowly defeat ad proposal to curtail the gathering of domestic phone and e-mail data. snowden revealed the existence of the massive surveillance program before fleeing to moscow a month ago. snowden's stat news russia is in limbo. he has not received permission to leave the airport. secretary of state john kerry spoke yesterday with russia's foreign minister saying the u.s. wants snowden back in the u.s. to face espionage charges. the other big spy story we are following is at ft. immediate, maryland. home of the nsa. that's where bradley man sing being court-martialed for divulging classified documents receipting to with in

afghanistan and iraq. barbara starr joins us now with the latest. hi, barbara. nice to see you. >> hi, pamela. yes. closing arguments under way in private first class bradley manning's court-martial and everybody is watching to see what will happen. this is not a military jury trial. there is only a military judge. and she will be weighing the arguments. was bradley manning a traitor? did he betray his country? was he a principled advocate and see things going on in the war that he did not like? downloaded documents and brought them to the public eye. it is this fundamental debate going is on right now about the government's right to keep information classified. the public's right to know. and personal issues of privacy. lot of comparisons being made to snowden, of course. but a lot of people will tell you bradley manning's quite different. he disclosed intelligence about certain activities in the field.

intelligence at a point in time. know den disclosed how the government tries to collect intelligence. >> considering a military judge is deciding here, do we know how soon a verdict will come down? >> well, we don't. she is a pretty hard working judge by all accounts. it is going the take this all under advisement and make her deliberations one of the big issues on the table is whether manning will be convicted of aiding the enemy. that could land him with life in a military prison. the death penalty has been taken off the table for that. he is already pled guilty to lesser charges that are likely now going to get him at least 20 years in jail. >> we will be keeping an eye on it. thank you so much. just ahead is it patient privacy or racial discrimination? >> worked for many other facilities and companies and i never experienced it. >> this nursing assistant was told she couldn't care for one patient all because of the color

of her skin. just wait until you hear what our legal panel has to say about this. [ male announcer ] ok, here's the way the system works. let's say you pay your guy around 2% to manage your money. that's not much you think. except it's 2% every year. does that make a difference? search "cost of financial advisors" ouch. over time it really adds up. then go to e-trade and find out how much our advice costs. spoiler alert: it's low. really? yes, really. e-trade offers investment advice and guidance from dedicated, professional financial consultants. it's guidance on your terms, not ours. that's how our system works. e-trade. less for us. more for you. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i looked at my options. then i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

butler also says she and a black rn are given heavier work loads than their white counterpart. >> i love taking care of people. that's my passion. when it is stripped away from me, you know, because of the color of my skin, it's really disappointing. i worked for many other facilities and companies and i never experienced this. >> in my legal opinion, a patient cannot request somebody not work with them based on race. >> all right. let's talk about it. radio host and attorney mo ivory joins us again from atlanta. mark, this sounds pretty outrageous to me. is this a violation of civil rights laws? >> it sure seems like it. if it is not, then let's make it one. because i think that we need to go ahead and i think these ladies -- specifically this one lady, needs to simply bring a lawsuit and let the cards fall where they may. we cannot in any way, shape or form support racism or bigotry in any form it takes.

if have you somebody that will not let somebody of a different color care for them, you can't not give them care. so i think you just go ahead and bring the suit and find out where it lands and if the hospital needs to change their policy, says a patient doesn't have a right to choose somebody because of their color, then that's the grounds for your admission. >> the hospital is saying that they need to respect patients' requests for their care and treat the situation the same if they did month want someone of the opposite gender. is that a fair comparison? what is the difference here? >> i don't necessarily think that's a fair comparison. you have to think about -- absolutely patients have rights. they have rights to have confidentiality as it relates to their information and their medical records. they have a right for certain -- you know, to keep people in the room that they want around them during their illness. they don't have a right to discriminate on their caretaker. do i think in some instances where a woman would peel more comfortable if she was having, you know, evasive procedure or being touched, by another woman that might be better.

she may not want a man touching her. that's completely different than saying i don't want somebody because they are black or i don't want somebody because they are asian or reverse. if a black person says i don't want a white person treating me, that's a whole different category than having a sensitivity to maybe a man or woman touching you. sometimes i have been in the hospital before where i have said maybe i want, you know a woman. i realize this man is more sensitive than this other nurse that's a female. i will go with him. really at the end of the day, the only thing that should matter is how well the person can take care of you and put you back in a healthy place. >> that's what matters. mark, here is the reaction from the nursing home administrator who says we are protecting staff members from allegations and that the if silt treats all employees fairly. at one point the patient claimed he had been bruised by an african-american staffer and recanted that. if a patient is concerned about being mishandled does that give him or her the right to deny care from staffers of that race? >> that's so ridiculous. >> what i'm hearing is that a --

because an african-american's allegedly bruised this person one time that excludes all african-americans. that's monday sense. we simply do not tolerate that. that's just an excuse. it is overshadowing the real issue. the sack of skin that covers our soul and bodies and our organs should have nothing to do with treatment or allow anybody to make a decision based on the color. >> i would like to ask that patient since he recanted that, it was an african-american nurse that bruised him, if he found it was white nurse that bruised him works he say he doesn't want any white nurses tending to him? >> good question. if she does file a lawsuit, do you think she could win it? >> absolutely. she has legitimate claim. what worries me most is the supervisors are sort of protecting the idea that you can ask for whatever you want as it relates to your care. i would hope that these employers would stand by their employees to try to make their work environment a good work

environment and not necessarily put a patient who drives the revenues' needs ahead of the workers that are there to protect the age and i make money for them. >> and i would like to add that if a person needed a transfusion, i strongly suspect there may be some asian blood and african-american blood and lat last tino blood that might go in there to help save the person. i think that we all bleed red and the skin color should make no difference. >> thank you for offering that perspective. we will check back in with you in just a bit. salami and blue cheese tracked on trays. some of the things one group did to hide.

the world's largest cruise lines are defending themselves once again. heads of carnival and royal caribbean told a senate committee they are working to make their ships safer and do baiter job of making the public aware of crime on the ships. they have a lot of ground to make up. of the crimes reported to the fbi since 2011, only 31 have been reported to the public. cruise ship companies are providing data for only those crimes no longer under investigation. no matter how you slice it, it has been a rocky year for the cruise industry. onboard fires. now comes word after cruise line

docking inspections by hiding food. drew griffin has more. >> reporter: the silver sea cruise line bills itself as ultra exclusive. small ships and personalized service, and an intimate luxurious setting. a high-end experience that comes with a very high-end price. on average the company says a little more than $5,000 per week per passenger. the all-inclusive tab comes with free drinks, sophisticated entertainment and a culinary experience. the cruise line calls world class. >> every silver sea voyage is a feast for the senses. >> passengers didn't know it might include this. look at these. pictures taken by crew members showing meat stored in crew cabin sinks. pots and pans in crew hallways. wrapped mood stashed everywhere except in the galley where it

belonged. why? it is all spelled out in this report from u.s. health inspectors for the it writes an organized effort was made to physically remove over 15 full trolleys of food, including milk, raw meats, pasteurized eggs, cheeses of all types, all hidden in individual cabins shared by two or three galley crew members in order to avoid inspection. the surprise inspection took place after the cdc was tipped off. adriana cologna an italian pastry chef says he had a 40-day contract on board the "silver shadow" and night after night he and others were ordered to hide food in his cabin in case of an inspection. it was so bad this chef wouldn't eat the food served to passengers. >> absolutely, sir. that's why i didn't even eat. i just made a pizza for myself

on a daily basis and that was all because if you think about it, because of the temperature high that would make everybody sick. >> you personally had to sleep with some of this food in your very cabin quarters. >> yes, sir. the crew cabin members. >> it was you, two other crew cabin members and a trolley full of salami. >> and bleu cheese. >> yes. >> reporter: walker, whose law firm represents cruise ship employees and wrongful termination and injury cases says he's been told what you're seeing here is a common game. >> that's right, there's typically a scramble that takes place. this is what we learned from the crew members. >> reporter: what is different this time is the cdc was tipped

off and on june 17th, staged a surprise inspection as the "silver shadow" docked in scagway, alaska. it shows a dismal grade of 82. >> i believe they were caught essentially playing a game. the cdc was alerted by crew members who were concerned about the hygiene on the ship and they went in and verified their complaints. >> reporter: silver seas the cruise company based in ft. lauderdale, florida, wouldn't give cnn any interview on this topic but did send a statement saying it's deeply disappointed by this specific and only unsatisfactory score. the company cited its long track record with the cdc of good scores, some above 90%, some as high as 100%, and said in this case, it's taking action to fix the problem. >> they called it an anomaly basically. this ship scores 97 to 100. do we really think that this was

the one time, the one time where they played hide and seek and they ran everything out in trolleys from the galley and we just happened to catch them one time? >> reporter: according to the cdc report, inspectors poured chlorine liquid over all the discarded food on board the "silver shadow" to prevent any of it from being reused. it may surprise you that that is all the federal health inspectors could do. no fines, the ship was not shut down. instead the cruise line filed a record of the corrective actions taken to fix the problems. among them, the cruise line reminded its crew that hiding raw meat, cheese and eggs in non-refrigerated crew cabins was not allowed. drew griffin, cnn, ft. lauderdale, florida. >> says a lot. the chef wouldn't even eat the food to passengers. all right, if you have a tip for cnn's investigation team go to cnn.com/investigate. and coming up a woman must crawl through the window of her

and find your house ransacked and all of your possessions gone. burglary, right? in macarthur, ohio, the culprit was a local bank. the bank admits it foreclosed on the wrong house but it hasn't done much to replace the $18,000 of stuff the homeowner says is missing. >> he got very firm with me and said we are not paying you retail. that's just the way it is. i'm not running a yard sale here. i did not tell them to come in my house and make me an offer. they took my stuff and i want it back. >> the president provided cnn with this statement about the dispute t says the written list of items that miss burnett provided to us and the value she assigned to those items is inconsistent with the list and descriptions of items removed that was prepared by the employees who did the work. all right. i have a feeling our legal panel has some strong opinions about this one. once again attorneys mo ivory and mark nejaime. mo, the bank is saying it made a mistake here. tell us what the legal responsibility is in a case like

this. >> sure, if the bank admits that they made a mistake which they have, they used the gps, they went to the wrong home. they said that they realized it was the wrong home, even the president of the bank says i admit it was the wrong home. the legal responsibility is to put the person back in the position they were in before the mistake was made which would be to just give her what she is asking for. i don't think that you can say that the item, the list of items that she submitted doesn't line one the list of items that the people that went in and took the items says it does. these people were wrong for going in, in the first place. they're low level employees of the bank who are out there collecting people's items. i wouldn't put any weight on what they're saying as it relates to value. but let's say beyond the legal, you know, recourse that they have or what the law says. what's the right thing to do with these banks that are continuing to overreach when it comes to foreclosure and overreach. listen, banks have paid billions of dollars in settlements

because they've not done the right thing when it's come to this housing problem and our foreclosure problem so just give her what she's asking for, $18,000 in the big scheme of things compared to what a bank, who are having record profits these days, make, i would try to make her whole and satisfied. >> mark, the bank saying it wants to settle but the discrepancy is over the list of items. what do you think? >> $18,000 worth of bad publicity for the bank but what they're trying to do is rest their laurels on replacement value versus fair market value which is something you disput with insurance companies. say a robber or burglary came in, stole the possessions, went to court for grand theft we only want to give her back what it was worth at a garage sale. nonsense. the bank should own up to it, do the right thing and more importantly $18,000 you just lost that in bad publicity. >> even if she is exaggerating about the cause the bank should pay up.
