everybody was sent home but don't worry. the fans will be able to get a refund and go to a game later in november so they won't be jiped out there. back to you in the studio. >> have fun today. i'm jealous. that will do it for us today. so glad you spent some of your morning with us. >> do not move because right ahead is "cnn newsroom." we turn it over to our colleague, fredricka whitfield. take over. >> do not move. all right. thanks so much. all right. knuckle punch back to you. have a good day, guys. good morning. and soon to be afternoon to everyone at home. the top stories we're working on right now, a huge rally expected in moments in washington d.c. not over obama care or the government shutdown. but spying. the fallout over reports the u.s. snooped on 35 world leaders. many of them our allies. the new york police department and high end department store are under fire. two people are suing police and

barney's department store for racial profiling claiming they were targeted after buying big ticket items. and the government shutdown damaged the reputation of some politicians on both sides of the aisle but not this woman right here. sarah palin, how the 16-day stalemate is proving to be a rallying point for the former vice presidential candidate. an intelligence team from germany is preparing to come to the u.s. after claims the nsa spied on foreign leaders. those claims have sparked sharp criticism of the u.s. german chancellor angela merkel said this week it has severely shaken relationships between europe and the u.s. jim boulden is live for us right now in london. jim, what is the latest from germany on this? >> some of these details are still coming out and we're being

told now that it will be soon that the head of the german domestic and foreign intelligence services will head to the u.s. i think you can say it's a bit like the head of the cia or nsa and homeland security. the equivalent in germany coming to washington to meet with the same level of individuals in the u.s. the idea being here that is really interesting is what the german chancellor angela merkel said a few days ago. is this going to be some no-name european union delegation. country by country to look some of the americans in the eye, to really, really make the point how unhappy the germans specifically are. we might see the french going another time as well. the point being this isn't about a wishy washy eu delegation. this is about these count rries saying we want you to tell us you won't do it again. >> germany clear about their

response. you mentioned france. how about beyond that? >> every day is another country deciding to bring the u.s. ambassador and hauling them in. madrid yesterday, the prime minister of spain said the u.s. ambassador will be called in. even though spain said they had no proof at all there was any spying allegedly going on in spain. there is some people who say they are using this as a political football if you will to help domestically. countries spy on each other. the idea is that monitoring the leader's cell phones. that is what's taken this and ratcheted it up to a new level here in europe. >> thank you so much, jim. appreciate that. keep us posted. here in the u.s. protesters are gathering in washington, the nation's capital, to rally against the nsa's surveillance program. edward snowden isn't at the rally but protesters will be hearing fromha sha

or form? >> fred, he made a statement specifically endorsing this rally and this rally will be the largest rally yet against this kind of mass surveillance from nsa. i want to read part of his endorsement supporting this rally. no telephone in america makes a call without leaving a record with the nsa. today no internet transaction enters or leaves america without passing through nsa hands. our representatives in congress tell us this is is not surveillance. they're wrong. so the message of this rally, the thing that we'll be hearing over and over again when it gets under way here in about a half an hour is stop watching us. i would point out the administration has made clear that this has been a big headache for them and they understand why people are upset. president obama has said he has ordered an internal review of our surveillance capabilities to make sure that we're doing what we need to do and not more than

what we need to do and just last night hillary clinton addressed this very controversy in remarks she made to colgate university. i want to play what she had to say because she makes clear that this is a big challenge walking this fine line. take a listen. >> trying to go up to the line of what is appropriate surveillance and security measures and not over the line is something we need to have a full comprehensive discussion about. what we need to do to keep ourselves and our friends secure, people need to know about it. maybe not in all of the details because we also don't want to alert adversaries but in enough detail so people can say, okay, they're not really listening to my conversation when i call home and talk to my daughter or whatever. >> hillary clinton also suggested that there needs to be

a broader conversation about surveillance in the united states and outside of it and that conversation hasn't begun yet. i imagine we'll be seeing more publicing about th i poll ticking about this. >> we plan to see people from across the country. you may remember dennis cueskuch who will also be there. we'll see giant cell phones. interesting visual. starting soon here. we'll keep an eye on it. >> all right. former american contractor edward snowden still in russia

after revealing those secrets. kind of at the rally with ominous presence. all right. thanks so much. appreciate that. tomorrow on cnn's "state of the union," candy crowley will talk to congressman mike rogers about the latest development on the nsa surveillance. congressman roger's is chairman of the committee. that is tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern time. a luxury store is under scrutiny for allegedly profiling their countries. they claim store clerks called police when they bought big ticket items at the store and now angry fans are asking jay-z to end his multimillion dollar deal with that company. o ♪ >> reporter: next month jay-z is set to sell a new fashion line at barney's but a change.org petition is calling for him to end all partnerships with the

new york retailer because a second african-american college student has come forward to alleged racial profiling saying undercover officers stopped and questioned her after she bought a $2,500 bag at barney's new york. >> i had good intentions. i wanted this bag. i deserved that bag. and then to find out, you know, i'll being accused of using someone else's card, i just really felt demeaned. >> reporter: the 21 year old came forward after a 19 year old made headlines claiming he was racially profiled after purchasing a belt at barney's in april. >> undercover cops stopped me and asked me, i just got a call saying your card is not real. >> the ceo of barney's new york says no customer should have the

unacceptable experience described in recent media reports. we want to reinforce that barney's new york has zero tolerance for any form of discrimination. our mission is to ensure that all customers receive the highest quality service without exception. the new york police department says its investigating the incident. jay-z's representatives have not commented but kayla phillips hopes they do. >> when he hears about it or when he gets involved in it, he knows that it's not right and he'll make the right choice. >> reporter: jay-z isn't the only star caught in the middle of a high end store controversy. robert brown filed a lawsuit this week against macy's. brown says he was the victim of racial rprofiling saying police accused him of using a fake credit card and detained him back in june. >> so in general, what are people saying? clearly a lot of outrage something like this to happen at a barney's in new york or anywhere. >> anywhere. we have seen a lot of people come to the forefront saying they suffered similar incidents

that they have been discriminated against as well. they haven't taken formal steps of filing a lawsuit. a lot of postings on facebook and social media saying barney's does not speak for the hip-hop community and doesn't have anything to do with the hip-hop community so someone like jay-z, a rap mogul, shouldn't back b n barn barney's and show the retailer any love. jay-z is on a tour in europe. some reporters asked him about the barney's incident. he was ready to make a statement. barney's say our customers -- zero tolerance when it comes to discrimination and employees had nothing to do with this. they are trying to sweep it under the rug. embarrassing situation for that retailer. >> thank you for bringing that to us. appreciate it. let's get a little time to find something heavy to wear outside because it's chilly everywhere. winter weather moving in even though the calendar says fall. and sarah palin wants to get back into the public eye. find out what she has planned.

senator ted cruz wants to gain momentum in his push to end obama care and that's gotten him a lot of attention these days and everyone is wondering does he have his sights set on 2016? he fueled rumors last night with a big speech in key election state, iowa. >> one of the things we accomplished in the fight over obama care is we elevated the national debate over what a disaster and what a train wreck and how much obama care is hurting millions of americans all across this country. >> another possible presidential bid going to hillary clinton. she also gave a big speech last night and she was at colgate

university in new york. >> now recently in washington we've seen what happens when politicians choose scorched earth over common ground. when they operate in what i like to call an evidence-free zone with ideology trumping everything else. it's not only how that makes us feel here at home. the entire world watches. how we make our decisions surprisingly closely. >> now of course neither clinton nor cruz have officially revealed their plans for 2016. the partial government shutdown had a negative impact on a lot of people but sarah palin wasn't one of them. on the contrary. the shutdown appeared to have energized the former vice presidential candidate and given her a new political torch to carry into the 2014 mid terms. our national political reporter

has more. >> reporter: like it or not, sarah palin is back. as much as the republican establishment wants her to disappear back into the alaska wilderness, it's not going to happen. after laying low for much of 2013, palin is set to step back into the public arena. in just a few weeks, she'll travel to iowa to address the republican party. she felt emboldened by the recent shutdown. the shutdown set off yet another round of republican warfare pitting the establishment versus grassroots conservatives. this is a fight right in palin's wheelhouse with designs on getting involved in republican primaries trying to unseat longtime republican senators like mitch mcconnell in favor of tea party challengers. she did this to great effect remember in 2010 and 2012 throwing her conservative weight behind tea party line republicans like nikki haley,

and the nebraska senator. does she have the same juice she used to? she's not likely to run for political office soon. republicans in washington continue to dismiss her as a side show act but conservatives running for office in 2013 are begging for her endorsement and no republican facing a primary challenge wants to be on the wrong side of a sarah palin endorsement. fred? >> thank you so much. four officers were hurt during a violent standoff in california. police say a man identified as samuel duran led officers on a foot chase shooting at them as he ran. duran barricaded himself inside a house and family members begged for him to give up. he did shortly after a s.w.a.t. team surrounded the house. three police officers and an i.c.e. agent were hurt during the chase. one was shot in the jaw. i.c.e. agents were searching for duran for weeks but wouldn't say why. it's cold out there for a whole lot of people no matter where you are on the map.

frost advisories and freeze warnings stretched across a dozen states. karen maginnis is in atlanta's piedmont park where folks are usually bundled up with maybe a scarf at most while they walk their dogs but today we see you with a jacket. it's cold outside. >> it is still chilly out here, fred. they just finished the puppy parade and they're going to announce the winner soon. this is piedmont park and city of atlanta and they have a farmer's market here. lots of organics and natural foods and different products. very fun. this is second year of their puppy parade. i know you would enjoy that. last year's winner was wearing a chia pet suit. we don't know who the winner is just yet. all of the way from pennsylvania down to the deep south, temperatures this morning were running between 10 and 15 degrees below where they should be for this time of year.

across large swath of the u.s., the deep freeze is on with this morning's low temperatures dipping into the double digits below average. >> surprise coming in this early. still october. not useded to that in these days. >> reporter: cleveland area residents got hit with an early halloween trick. up to five inches of snow in some places downing power lines and neighborhood trees. >> we all have been kind of bored and pacing around because we're used to having our electronics on and then -- >> reporter: you got to talk? >> i know. we were forced to sit in the same room. it was driving us crazy. >> reporter: these winter like conditions are stretching from parts of the midwest into the mid-atlantic and deep south. with at least a dozen states right now reporting frost advisories or freeze warnings. the winter-like conditions are also causing treacherous driving on the roads. in south bend, indiana, black ice caused several accidents.

fortunately no one was severely injured. in michigan, a multivehicle accident turned deadly. two people were killed including a good samaritan after a car slid off the side of the interstate. still for some this early sign of winter was a treat. a chance to fine tune the snowman or hit the links for just one more round. >> got a vest and it's actually made here in milwaukee. and as you can see it's electronic so it has coils running through it. >> you would have to go back to 1968 to see temperatures quite as cold as we saw this morning across much of the eastern united states. temperatures are going to be warming up but guess what? there's a big winter storm that's going to be brewing across the interior west and we could see as much as a foot of snowfall from western montana

down into the four corners. we bundled up and we'll have the winner of the puppy parade pretty soon. >> let us know about the winner of the puppy parade. winter is definitely here in many places. we're ready. all right. thank you so much, karen. a mistress to the utah doctor accused of killing his wife is friday's star witness. find out what she told the jury.

a star witness this week mcneill's last mysteries, gypsy willis, giving details of her relationship with the doctor. >> did the relationship become sexual? >> it did. >> when was that? >> i think that was in january of 2006. >> how often were the two of you having sexual relations? >> we could see each other a couples times a month. there was months we didn't see each other. it was casual. whenever we had time and it could be arranged. it was -- i think we probably had sex half the time. sometimes it was just lunch. >> some pretty graphic details. hln host nancy grace has more. >> lots of twist and turns in

the martin mcneill facelift trial. we meet the mistress. one of many but this particular one he had at the time his wife was found faceup dead in the family bathtub. the state took a lot of time laying out or solidifying their relationship and he's feeding gypsy lewis with a long handed spoon. it's like feeding a doughnut to a bobcat. be careful or it might bite you. he laid out their relationship through text and phone calls. who else would you call and text 16, 20 times a day besides your girlfriend. he laid out the relationship and then moved carefully to the day michele was found dead. when this jury compares the testimony of the mistress, gypsy willis, to who i think is going to be the next witness, the 6-year-old daughter that found her mommy dead, that dichotomy

will not be lost on this jury. >> nancy grace, thanks so much. newly released documents reveal surprises in the murder of jonbenet ramsey. a grand jury in 1999 wanted to indict her parents for her death. jonbenet ramsey was killed the day after christmas in 1996. three years later grand jurors voted to indict john and patsy ramsey in child abuse charges resulting in death and accessory to murder but the district attorney did not file charges saying there wasn't enough evidence. dna tests later cleared the ramsey family of the killing. police in boulder, colorado, say the case remains open. one of the most historic football programs in college football but this week it was never known as a protest by its own players. we'll tell you why they boycotted their own game.

>> what do i think about that? i think the judge may be ineffective. i think the judge may have misconstrued the facts, misapplied the law. maybe the judge should be examined because this decision is ridiculous, fred, and we will talk about it coming up. >> look forward to that, gentlemen. thanks so much. we know you always hold back. we will see avery and richard in the noon eastern hour. and find out what skakal's cousin, robert f. kennedy junior says about the new development. risking jail time simply for driving a car. that's what women in saudi arabia are doing, today their bold act of defiance, next. before copd... i took my son fishing every year. we had a great spot, not easy to find, but worth it. but with copd making it hard to breathe, i thought those days might be over. so my doctor prescribed symbicort. it helps significantly improve my lung function starting within five minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms.

the u.s. admits snooping on 35 world leaders, some of our biggest allies, france, germany, mexico. within the hour, thousands are expected to protest in d.c. because of the latest spying scandal. and shoppers at one high end department store in new york say they were racially profiled after buying big ticket items. now barney's and nypd are being targeted in big lawsuits. two americans kidnapped after pirates attacked a u.s. ship off the coast of nigeria. what's being done to track down the members of the oil supply vessel's crew. an intelligence team from germany is preparing to come to the u.s. after claims the nsa spied on foreign leaders. those claims sparked sharp criticism of the u.s. german chancellor angela merkel

says it is quote, severely shaken, unquote, relationship between europe and the u.s. jim bolden is live for us in london. jim, what's the latest from germany, what are they going to do? >> what we are hearing is germany will send the head of foreign and domestic intelligence to the u.s. to meet the heads of the nsa, cia, the homeland security to really sit down and discuss this because germany, of course, as you say is very unhappy to learn that it's likely the chancellor's cell phone was monitored. it is interesting in europe, usually you get an eu delegation to talk to the u.s. at some level. this is each country saying we're very, very unhappy to think that you have done this to an ally. so they want to send high level delegations, fredricka, to washington, and to demand i think to say we want to be sure you tell us this isn't going to happen again. this has been rumbling for weeks and months. there's a very different feeling

in europe about data protection. as the edward snowden reveals have come out, there's been a different level i think of anger here. but when you start to say and hear that possibly the individual leader's phones were monitored, that takes it to a new level. >> you talk about germany delegations on the way to the u.s., what about some of the other countries that have been great allies of the u.s. but whose feathers are a little ruffled as well. >> the french president wants to speak to the u.s. as well on this level, and on friday the prime minister of spain said that they will be calling the u.s. ambassador to madrid. we have seen it, several countries have done this as well. and each individual country in europe has a decision to make, if they want to call in the ambassador. but again it is each individual country wanting to do this, want to look face to face to the u.s.

and say don't do this again, fredricka. >> jim, thanks so much from london, appreciate that. here in the u.s. protesters are gathering in washington right now for a rally against nsa surveillance. that starts in about 30 minutes or so from now. erin mcpike joins us from the nation's capital. what is expected. washington is no stranger to large gatherings, but what's different this time? >> reporter: that's absolutely right, fred. this is apparently going to be the largest rally against nsa surveillance, but this is more about the domestic side of it. edward snowden, the whistleblower who really started this entire controversy has endorsed this rally. the big message is stop watching us. and the message here essentially is that they're upset that the nsa is spying on personal communication of people within the united states. now, it doesn't really fall on partisan lines. we're seeing a broad spectrum of

politicians and speakers, everyone from justin amash, a conservative congressman from michigan to dennis kucinich, a liberal democrat that ran in two presidential primaries. again as i mentioned that's more about the domestic side of it. more broadly speaking, as i said before, this doesn't really follow on partisan lines, and the administration has admitted that this has caused them some serious headache and some challenges in dealing with allies like germany, especially, and just yesterday night, hillary clinton was speaking at colgate university and addressed the difficult line the administration has to walk. take a listen. >> part of our difficulty is everybody just runs flat out. i know from my own experience that the information gathering and analyzing has proven very

important and useful in a number of instances. but i do think people have a right to complain if it's gone over the line and if they have been -- if their privacy has been unnecessarily, unfairly invaded, so we've got to look at the whole system. >> now, of course, the administration has acknowledged those frustrations as well, and they know that those german officials will be coming over to the u.s. to have some meetings, but we don't have any details about the meetings just yet, fred. >> thanks so much. erin mcpike in the nation's capital. tomorrow on cnn's "state of the union" candy krou lee talks to mike rogers. that's tomorrow morning, 9:00 a.m. eastern time. a luxury store under fire for allegedly racially profiling some of its customers. two people are suing barney's in

new york, claiming store clerks called the police after they bought big ticket items at the store. now angry fans are asking rap star jay-z to end his deal with barney's. nick valencia has been following this. a few things, you have investigation or people upset with the store, then you have the pressure they're putting on a music mogul to cut ties with the store. >> he has a new holiday line at the luxury retailer, they're asking him to end the relationship, they're very upset. a lot of people have come out, said they had similar things happen to them. it all started when a 21-year-old caleb phillips was approached after leaving the store, she was embarrassed, attacked, asked where she got the money for the expensive handbag, $2500. she was eventually let go, it didn't stop her from being embarrassed, so much so she filed a lawsuit. her and her lawyer seek $5

million in punitive damages and are looking at barney's and nypd as well. this happened before, with a 19-year-old, another black college student says he was detained, held in that store, and racially profiled as well. he was eventually let go, apologized to. some upset people. >> and questioned because he purchased an expensive belt, but almost everything in that store is expensive. >> too expensive for my taste, i don't know, but it is exactly right. they were going after him because they said how can you buy this, you're a young college student, 19 years old. where do you get $350 for a belt. he was approached, detained, they are verified his credit card with the bank, he was eventually let go. a lot of people like i said online are shouting, saying this has happened to them. >> barney's, what's their approach to this, how do they defend themselves, how do they say or assure people no matter who you are, you come in willing to buy these things, make the purchase, you're not going to be

harassed afterwards. >> barney's is distancing. they sent a statement to us along with other media outlets, which read no customer should have the unacceptable experience described in recent media reports and we offer our sincere regret and deepest apologies. we want to reinforce barney's new york has zero tolerance for any form of discrimination. as far as the petition, change.org petition asking him to stop doing business with them, that has 5,000 signatures. >> keep us posted and if jay-z responds, he is touring overseas now, it will be interesting to know what he has to say, since his name has been brought into it, unbeknownst to him until it happened. thanks so much. new details are out in the cold case murder of jonbenet ramsey. court documents from 14 years ago are just now coming out, putting the spotlight on her parents. but next, pirates kidnapped two u.s. citizens. officials are worried the attack could be a warning that there's a new danger at sea.

grand jury documents have been unsealed in the jonbenet ramsey case, nearly 17 years after the six-year-old's death. it shows they voted to indict her parents on child abuse resulting in death, but the district attorney at the time did not file charges. i jane velez-mitchell what she thought about the d.a.'s decision. >> i think it was a very wise decision because many, many years later in 2008, a d.a. ultimately apologized to the ramseys and said we have officially exonerated you and we are so sorry that we kept you under a cloud of suspicion for so many years, on top of the fact that you suffered the tragic death of your daughter. now, unfortunately that apology came too late for patsy, she had already died. but the truth is to update an old cliché, you can indict a veggie burger, that's what these grand juries do.

they sort of follow the lead of the authorities. and there's been a lot of criticism of how the authorities handled this case right from the very start, that they had their blinders on, that they refused to look anywhere else but at the ramseys, and they sort of hung their hat on the fact of oh, well, the ransom note was written on a note pad that belonged to the ramseys in the ramsey home. and a couple of other key facts like that andrew these conclusions from that. the bottom line is that there was an unidentified male dna in the child's undergarments that didn't belong to any member of the ramsey family. they need to find out who that dna belongs to. and i do believe that there is somebody out there, if they're still alive, who was responsible for this horrific crime. it is not the ramseys, and they need to find that person. >> wow, hard to believe she was just six years old and if not

for that tragedy, she would be a young woman in her early 20s. let's move on to a murder case on-going, on trial now in utah, the doctor accused of murdering his wife to be with his mistress. what's been the key moment of this case this week? >> well, the real emotional bombshell was rachel, adult daughter of the defendant, and adult daughter of the victim as well, taking the stand and she is sobbing con vulsively. they had to stop, she was so overcome with emotion. imagine howie motionly shattered she must be. she says her dad was her best friend, grows up to come to believe, and this is her belief, that her dad murdered her mom. that's what he is on trial for. and she describes one suspicious thing after the next that dr. mack kneel did on the day and preceding days after his wife

was found unresponsive and ultimately dead, lifeless. the fact that he brings in his mistress to meet the family at a mormon temple and pretends he doesn't know her, says oh, she seems nice, and just a short time after that, suddenly this nanny, this mistress, is the mistress slash nanny brought into the house as a nanny but not doing nanny work, just making goo goo eyes according to rachel at dr. macneill. and the thing about it, she's so genuine, the emotion is so real, not like with jodie arias, you can see it, it is very believable. very credible. >> jane velez-mitchell, thanks so much. attorneys for the ramsey family released a statement yesterday saying this. the documents released today validate john ramsey's position

that the boulder district attorney should release the entire grand jury record and not just four pages from an 18 month investigation that produced volumes of testimony and exhibits, end quote. the ramsey's attorney pointed out the grand jury didn't have dna evidence from 2008. the man brought in by the white house to fix the health care website says it is fixable. by next month. but republicans are still turning up the heat. ♪

kennedy cousin michael skakel is trying to convince a judge to let him out of prison on bail while he awaits a new trial in the 1975 murder of his neighbor, martha moxley. skakel has been behind bars more than a decade after being convicted of murdering her when they were both teenagers. a judge took out his conviction earlier in the week. he looks at the evidence in this long running murder mystery. >> reporter: one of the first pieces of evidence at the murder, part of a stainless steel golf shaft, about a foot long. another smaller piece of the stained club is found, along

with the head of the six iron, all covered in blood. investigators also find several patches of blood in the area. the medical examiner determines moxley sustained five to ten blows to the head and at least four stab wounds from the broken golf shaft. >> they hit her so hard that the golf club broke, then they took the shaft and stabbed her with it six or seven times. >> reporter: if michael skakel murdered martha moxley, where is the forensic evidence linking him to the brutal crime? there isn't any, no fingerprints, no footprints, not even his blood is found at the scene. also there's no trace of defense wounds on moxley. this is skakel's defense attorney the day he was arraigned in march, 2000. there's no scientific evidence that links michael skakel to the crime. >> reporter: prosecutors relied mainly on the word of witnesses, a challenge because of the more than 20 year gap between the murder and the trial. one witness tells police skakel

brought up the murder, telling her he had been drunk at the time and might have committed the murder during a blackout. another witness reports he broke down in tears crying i don't know if i did or didn't, i don't know. and finally a third witness claims skakel admitted murdering moxley with the golf club when she, quote, did not submit to the advances. the same witness says skakel told him because he was related to ethel kennedy, he could get away with murder. trutv reports other evidence at the scene includes a human hair, belonging to a white male, but it doesn't match any of the suspects. the single hair belonging to an african-american male found on the blanket used to wrap the body is dismissed as belonging to one of the first officers at the crime scene. and there's this. a composite sketch of someone witnesses saw in the neighborhood, skakel believes it would have convinced the jury he didn't do it, if only the jury had seen it. his defense attorney never

showed it during the trial. the unused sketch is one of the key reasons skakel argued his defense lawyer was incompetent and he deserves a new trial. his new lawyer presented the composite sketch with a picture of kenneth littleton who worked as a tutor at the skakel home, he had been questioned at the time of the murder. littleton's lawyer has told reporters he is innocent. robert f. kennedy junior is his cousin. >> michael was 11 miles away with five eyewitnesses at the time that the murder was committed. he has an air tight alibi. >> reporter: with his conviction set aside, michael skakel now has a second chance to prove it. randy kaye, cnn, new york. >> let's bring in our legal guys, avery freedman, professor from cleveland, and richard herman, new york criminal defense attorney, joining us from las vegas. good to see you as well.

>> hi, fred. >> gentlemen, this is really a fascinating case, is it not? richard, you mention that you are good friends with mickey sherman, the lawyer that represented michael skakel in the trial in 2002, and while you hear the judge say it was an ineffective representation, that mickey sherman is guilty of here, and that's why they believe michael skakel deserves a new trial, you say actually the problem is ineffective judging. so richard, explain more. >> well, a couple things, fred. first of all, whether he can get out on bail pending new trial, that's the first issue, and because the government is going to appeal this judge's decision, he is not getting out. so until that determination is made, i think he is going to remain incarcerated. number two, what the judge found, and the appeal is not based on any review of the facts of the case, that's not what the appeal or decision was based upon, it is premised upon a boiler plate claim that's made

by every convicted defendant on appeal in an ineffective assistance of counsel, it is boiler plate, thrown into every appeal, and it is rarely granted. here it is interesting to me a state court judge after all this time would find a lack of attention to detail, incoherent defense, and half hearted investigation by mickey sherman, a seasoned, a seasoned veteran criminal defense attorney, fred, who put in over a thousand hours of time into this case, presented an alibi defense. it was confronted, fred, with his own client's connection to the work. wait, wait, he is connected to the murder weapon, he gave three point blank admissions, fred. sometimes defense cases are extremely difficult. >> avery, what do you mean there's more than that? >> yeah, i mean, this judge

wrote 136 page opinion. >> meaningless. >> it is not an appeal, and basically looked at what the defense lawyer did and basically said this guy was -- he charged for the trial and getting ready and the judge was clear through a series of events, the lawyer frongly constitutionally did a lousy job. does that exxon rate skakel, by no means, i am in agreement. briefs are due monday morning on the question of whether or not michael skakel gets out of jail, i agree. we're going to see an appeal process, as there should be. >> what would be argued monday, what would be said, what needs to be said for him to, a, get a new trial, or even b, be released? >> they're basically arguing that look, he was -- ineffective assistance of counsel equals exxon or ating.

i think the prosecution will succeed on appeal. i don't think michael skakel is getting out of jail until this case is retried or some deal is worked out. >> richard? >> fred, let me just say that i know mickey sherman personally and, you know, we as defense attorneys get hit with these motions all the time on appeal, but i just want to say, fred, if it was me on trial, i would hire mickey in a heartbeat to defend me in a case. that's how good he is. and i think the judge has it all wrong here, you're the judge, fred, and i think it will be -- i think mickey's representation will not be tarnished in this particular case. he did an outstanding job. >> and he was happy about the result. mickey sherman was happy about the result, even though the judge said he was incompetent. >> happy for the client. >> in the interview, both you gentlemen, if it comes to another trial, do you feel the evidence will hold up or because of technology there might be

more evidence that would be able to be presented in this case? >> avery? >> it is over 40-year-old murder case here, fred. look, you have consciousness of guilt, you have three point blank admissions, you have dozens of incriminating statements by skakel, and you have a consciousness of guilt. very difficult, difficult case. >> quickly, avery? >> technology may make a difference. we will have to see what happens after the appeal is completed. >> we have another case to tackle coming up. this one involves singer cee lo facing a criminal charge. we will be back. ♪ norfolk southern what's your function? ♪

furnishing ecstasy, a felony, up to four years if convicted. what's mind blowing to me is i don't understand why the district attorney didn't go with the second charge of sexual assault. they argue because she had dated cee lo in the past there would be no way he could have sexually assaulted her. i don't care if they were married. sexual assault is sexual say saltalamacchia, there should have been two charges, not one. in any event, i think it is big trouble, nbc should be shaking in their boots as to their number one rated show, whatever happens to cee lo will impact that programming. all over the place, civilly, criminally, it is a mess for cee lo now. >> richard, i thought it was stated there wasn't sufficient evidence, that's why they didn't continue on with the sexual assault charge. >> that's why avery shouldn't be shocked, no evidence to show it, that's why they didn't bring that charge, fred. by the way, thomas decarlo

callaway, that's his real name. see how many people report that. anyway, he is charged with one felony count, maximum is four years. has a clean criminal history, has a great defense in this particular case that they were friends with each other, and let's not get confused. ecstasy is not ghb. ecstasy is not the knock out drug we read about, date rape drug we read about all the time. the two were hanging out, they were friends. he is going to say, show they were partying together, they were friends, and that nothing untoward happened here, that everything was consensual, and look, she wasn't knocked out, she was with her senses, it didn't cause any damage to her whatsoever, and that they were friends. he has great chance at acquittal in this case. >> may involve some witnesses, even though the allegation is they were both in the hotel room, at least when she woke up they were the only ones there. avery, i would think whether it be cee lo's team or her team, they would try to bring in

witnesses that might be able to testify about the relations between them, what was going on at the restaurant, what was the tone, all that kind of stuff. >> yeah. and that will help. that will help the defense. >> she voluntarily wound up in the sack with cee lo, oh, my goodness. look, the bottom line is he slipped her a mickey, that's what the prosecution is saying now. >> not a mickey. >> she woke up nude in her bed in a hotel room. look, i think that's pretty compelling. i think he has a big headache with this case. should have been two instead of one, but he is going to face one, that's all. >> avery, final word? >> they shouldn't even have brought this case, fred. it is ridiculous. he is going to go well and ratings for the show are probably going to go up. >> that's a shame. that's a shame. >> all right. avery, richard, thanks so much, gentlemen, always good to see you every weekend, of course. catch avery and richard every weekend right here, noon eastern time in this hour.
