4:00 pm
cnn.com/crossfire, as well as on facebook and twitter. >> from the left, i'm stephanie cutter. >> from the right,ch. join us again tomorrow for another edition of "crossfire." "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. next, is edward snowden coming home? the obama administration says there is a way, but with the nsa leaker play along? hear what he told our own jake tapper. plus, what was it that set richard sherman off during the championship game? we have the audio of what he said during the game. justin bieber busted for drag racing and dui. is he the new thug on the block? let's go outfront. good evening, everyone. thanks for joining us.
4:01 pm
i'm don lemon in for erin burnett. breaking news, edward snowden tells our very own jake tapper he will not return to the u.s. because it's not possible for him to have a fair trial. that's after the attorney general eric holder said the u.s. is willing to discuss snowden's return to the country, if he pleads guilty first. cnn's jake tapper had an exchange with snowden today and joins me now live from washington. jake, what did he have to say? >> well, what i wanted to know was because the attorney general had suggested earlier in the day that if snowden pleaded guilty, the government would be willing to talk to his attorneys about figuring out how to bring him back to the u.s. i wondered how much that was something that snowden would entertain. i asked him to respond to that and i asked him under what conditions would he return. he wrote back to me in this online chat he was having, returning to the u.s., i think, is the best resolution for the government, the public and myself. but it's unfortunately not possible in the face of current
4:02 pm
whistleblower protection laws, which through a failure in law did not cover national security contractors like myself. his larger argument being that he was doing something in the public good and the law that he is being prosecuted under is more than 100 years old and nothing written in for somebody like him unless, of course, the congress were to act and change the law. he doesn't think he'll be coming back to the united states any time soon. so, not possible is what he said, don. >> so, the obvious question. what are the chances, jake, the white house gives any ground on this issue? >> i think when it comes to clemency or a pardon that is off the table, in terms of some sort of negotiation, i think it's possible. but not very likely. in order for snowden to have a public trial, the government would have to be willing to allow a lot of things that they don't want to talk about be discussed in open court. so, i find it very unlikely, although, you never know. it's still unclear how much more
4:03 pm
snowden has in terms of documents. maybe at some point they would rather have control over the documents and they would rather exchange some punishment for him no longer releasing any more. but, we'll see. generally speaking, i dont think it's possible for them to change. >> jake tapper reporting from washington. jake, thank you very much. another blow to the obama administration spying program and an independent oversight board today concluded the nsa ball collection of data is illegal and should end. what could be more damaging? the board also said that the agency's bulk phone data collection program has been largely useless in thwarting terrorism. tom foreman has all the details for you. >> illegal, ineffective and unnecessary. that is essentially what the five-member privacy and civil liberties oversight board said about the national security agency's collection of phone data for millions of americans. jim dempsey, a member of the
4:04 pm
government-appointed board voted for the blistering report. >> we have never once found evidence of a plot. never once identified an unknown terrorist plotting attacks on the homeland or anywhere else. one time we found a guy who was raising money for the eltshabab terrorist group. >> that is it? >> the fbi was probably circling around had him already and would have come across him anyhow. >> reporter: ever since edward snowden leaked information, the white house has been on defense. calling it a critical tool for tracking terrorists. >> we cannot unilaterally disarm our intelligence agencies. >> reporter: for the most part, courts have so far supported the administration, but the report says the program infringes on basic privacy and is wide open to abuse by agencies seeking to spy on americans for other
4:05 pm
reasons. the ink was hardly dry before the white house hit back, again. >> we simply disagree with the board's analysis on the legality of the program. >> reporter: even two members of the board issuing the report do not agree with it. rachel brand says the vast collection of numbers with no names attached is hardly fertile ground for a fictional government fishing trip. >> in light of that and how difficult it is for the government to look at the data, once it's collected, i think the intrusion on privacy and trust is small. >> reporter: this committee has no real power, but this report, nonetheless, has created an uproar here in d.c., don. if only because it provides more ammunition for those who do have real power and who really want to see this program shut down. >> tom foreman, thank you very much. joining me now, gesline is a legal adviser to contractor edward snowden and jeffy toobin cnn legal analyst. the board said it identified only one instance where the
4:06 pm
board helped identify a terrorist. but the board also said officials would have found the suspect even without the nsa program. did the board make the right call here in saying the program should be shut down? >> we have a real division of feeling on this among the people who have looked at it. two judges have evaluated the program. one said it's constitutional. and one did not. this board broke 3-2 in favor of an unconstitutional ruling. three branches of government have approved this in the past, the executive, the congress and the judiciary. >> it's hard to keep tabs on. it's like. >> you mean the program? >> the program and exactly what's going on is it constitutional? not constitutional? >> it's, obviously, very much up in the air. plus, you have president obama saying he wants to change it in some profound way moving the data to some third party. but that hasn't been done yet. hasn't been specified where he wants to put the data. a lot of moving targets here. >> jessil oin, should the obama
4:07 pm
administration listen to the board? >> i think they should. i don't think this is a close question. i differ are mr. toobin on this. a federal judge found it's likely unconstitutional. the president's own white house internal review panel found that it was ineffective and, also, broke the law. and had caught no terrorists or thwarted any terrorist plans. also, now today, the privacy and civil liberties oversight board, again, reached the same conclusion. that this program was illegal and had not stopped any terrorists plots. we have one judge who differs, but the balance is clearly on the side of the revelations mr. snowden made and the president even agrees with mr. snowden that mass surveillance does violate people's privacy. he said that in his speech. >> i have a yegz for you. let's just say that it did thwart a terrorist attack.
4:08 pm
might we be sitting here going thank goodness for that program. because it hasn't caught one -- >> in fairness to, you know, the opposing side, you know, the fact that it hasn't caught one, at least according to some of the people who looked at it is a fact. is against it. but, you know, the question remains, you know, how are we going to monitor the would-be terrorists in a world where terrorists use gmail, terrorists use text messages. this is not a fictional threat. this is an actual threat that we face and the nsa's response seems to me a reasonable one. >> let me remind you of something. we heard jake tapper say just a couple minutes ago reporting he was in an online forum today and he said returning to the united states, i think it is best resolution for the government, the public and myself, but it's unfortunately not possible in the face of current whistleblower protection laws, which through a failure in law, did not cover national security contractors like myself. he's talking about his exchange
4:09 pm
with edward snowden today. should he return to the u.s. to face trial? >> yes, he should. he broke the law and should be tried. the thing that is so odd about this statement is that even if contractors were covered by whistleblower protections, they're not allowed to give it away and simply give it to journalists and then go to china and then go to russia. they're supposed to go through certain channels. so, even if the law covered him, that would not be a protection for what he did. >> same question to you, should he return to the u.s.? better question, do you see a point in the future where snowden does return to the u.s.? >> yes, if he is pardoned or granted amnesty, which is requested by the future deputy director of the nsa and editorial boards of the "new york times" and "guardian" and tech industry giants who all suggested amnesty or pardoned. he would be tried under the espionage act which has no
4:10 pm
whistleblower defense, no public policy defense and, in fact, a 1917 law meant to go after spies, not whistleblowers. as for the channel's argument, mr. toobin knows full well that another nsa employee, thomas drake, did go through every conceivable proper channel. his boss, the inspector general, both houses of congress and not only did he get no re-dress he ended up being prosecuted for espionage. snow, mr. snowden would not come back to be tried under a law which would provide only a show trial and not allow him a defense. >> certainly, this seems to be an option for negotiation that might go on to what he might plead to if he comes back. i understand why he wouldn't want to plead in violation to the espionage raact. but the justice department opening the door to some lesser plea. >> they know how to contact me. >> well, mr. toobin, thank you
4:11 pm

tonight our look at kids in crisis. police say a 14-year-old girl grabbed a kitchen knife and went into her 11-year-old half sister's bedroom and stabbed her 40 times, ultimately killing her. it is a shocking story, but what's even more disturbing when she finally confessed to police, she said it was because her
4:15 pm
sister wasn't appreciative enough of her. ted rolands has the story. >> reporter: a small bouquet of flowers sits outside the front door of the townhouse where police say an 11-year-old girl was stabbed more than 30 times by her 14-year-old sister. a story so awful it's left many people in the chicago suburb of mundeline in shock. >> please pray for for us. this is quite a tragedy. just pray for the family. >> reporter: according to prosecutors, the 14-year-old or originally lied calling 911 saying an intruder attacked her sister and fled. but when questioned by police, her story changed. she confessed to using a kitchen knife to stab her sister to dead in bed tuesday morning. the 14-year-old allegedly told investigators she was angry that her little sister didn't appreciate that she had been taking care of her, including cooking her meals. prosecutors say the teen showered to wash off the blood and then called police.
4:16 pm
at this point, the 14-year-old is being treated as a juvenile, but that may change. >> we will continue to gather the reports, gather the information and in the relatively near future, we will make a determination in terms of whether we are going to ask to seek to have this case transferred to adult court. >> reporter: it's unclear to what extent the 14-year-old had to care for her little sister. her mother is a single parent who worked a lot, according to neighbors we talked to them. >> they seemed like a loving family. the kids were always playing together. i never saw any signs of fighting or yelling or screaming. i would see them every sunday going to church. >> reporter: and the illinois department of children and family services has launched an investigation to see exactly what conditions these children were living in. according to "chicago tribune" reporter who was at a juvenile hearing yesterday, the 14-year-old was stowic until the
4:17 pm
prosecutors started to describe the murder to the judge. at that point she broke down. just a horrible story. >> it is. we'll delve in deeper tonight with dr. jeff garder. so, she kills her sister, takes a shower, washes the blood off, calls police and then makes up a story about an intruder. what does this tell you about the mind of the young girl? >> evidently, she was thinking about this. she said she thought about it for 15 minutes before this thing happened. we see premeditation but she was too calm and too cold after this happened to be able to tell these lies to be able to try to cover up the murder scene. >> it's premeditation and then a cover up, right? that doesn't bode well for her. the teen, they said that neighbors said that they seem to be very close. the sister and the teen. so, what is going on here, what is happening here?
4:18 pm
>> perhaps they were very close. i believe that. but it seems this young woman is emotionally disturbed. this isn't something that happens in a vacuum and they really should have some sort of a mental health evaluation, which i'm sure will happen. but she could have been rageful, not just at her sister, but as you're saying here, probably at the mother because it seems like the mother may not be around enough and this young, 14-year-old girl, had to do a lot of the work in the home. >> before we talk about the parents a little bit more, what about a personality disorder in this particular case? >> and this is, of course, haven't examined her, but this is what i'm thinking of because there's the emotional disconnect to stab your sister so many times, of course, or even stab your sister. secondly, the rage. and then, of course, what we're talking about, covering up the murder scene. these things, again, don't happen in a vacuum. i'm sure as we get more of the back story, we'll find out that this may have been an emerging personality disorder.
4:19 pm
a lot of it here, no impulse control. >> a 14-year-old taking care of a child, maybe a lesson to parents. >> super overkill here which says she was the wrong person to have this happen to, as far as acting out in this way. >> thank you, doctor. >> thank you. still to come, it's like something out of a mob movie because it was. 36 years later, police finally make arrests in the good fellas heist. we know what richard sherman said after the game. now we're hearing what he said during the game. the craziest video you'll ever see all day today. a car slides over two people and mow sh somehow they survive. when you have diabetes like i do,

the biggest this town has ever seen. >> one of my favorite movies ever. joining me now is murray weiss, a criminal justice editor. a an infamous case but it happened back in 1978. why did it take so long to get to the bottom of this? >> the short version is that in recent years the fbi has got themselves some new informants in the crime family and they turned on their fellow members and started wearing wiretaps. on the taps, actually, they have vincent discussing the lufthansa case and his role in it and discussions about a murder committed in 1969. that murder involved jimmy the gent burke who was played by dinaro in the movie. last summer the fbi started digging in the house and found some of his remains. that's what led, fundamentally, to this indictment. >> organized crime like that any more or has it changed since the
4:25 pm
goodfella days? >> armored car heists and gambling and all the traditional things are still there. but the wild times of organized crime of that era are gone. the control over all the construction tray trades, the union, teamsters and every yard of concrete that was poured in new york the government got attacks on. the government has driven the mob stranglehold out of unions and industry away. but still here and very powerful. >> from 1978 until now, 2014. they're just figuring it out. thank you, we appreciate it. >> pleasure. still to come, new details about justin bieber. what the pop singer told police he was doing right before being arrested and then george zimmerman isn't done with the art world yet. his last piece sold for more than $100,000. will his new painting go for more? breaking news. whiteout conditions cause a massive and deadly pileup on an

disturbing for some to watch, but we promise you, this story has a good ending. a 5-year-old boy and his grandmother were walking down a street in brazil when a car ahead of them was hit head on by another vehicle. forcing it to plowright on to them and over them as you can see right here. the boy's head seemed to get caught under the tire and miraculously pops right up to check on his grandmother. can you believe that? happy to say both are okay. they both left the hospital with only minor injuries. wow. two thumbs up for that little tyke as he was doing there in the video. let's move on. tonight's money and power. life in the fast lane came to a screeching halt for justin bieber today. the 19-year-old pop star was arrested for drag racing and driving under the influence in miami beach this morning. according to police, the arresting officer immediately smelled a "odor of alcohol and saw blood shot eyes" when he

pulled bieber over in a yellow lamborghini. he dropped several f-bombs during the incident. so, now he knows what it really feels like. appearing before a florida judge bieber charged with dui, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license and then released on a $2,500 bond and met by his fans who waited to catch a glimpse of the wanna be bad boy. really? joining me now is jim mirada and katrina, she is, entertainment journalist and former child star and barry and acory is on the phone. first, i have to ask, i'll ask you this, jim, really, a yellow lamborghini. if that's not a cry for help, what is? >> what else are you going to
4:33 pm
rent in florida. his friend was renting a ferrari. did you see when he waved to his friends it reminded me of michael jackson at that molestation trial. he danced for his fans. look, i don't know. i'm not shocked. we have been covering bieber every week it seems for the past several months. >> you know, bieber admitted to smoking before his arrest and taking prescription drugs. when police searched him he said i don't have no f'ing weapons. why do you have to search me? is this justin bieber solidifying his image as a bad boy, do you think, katrina? >> he has been, as you pointed out, a wanna be bad boy for so long. he has been trying to break that bubble gum pop star bubble. he has been hanging out with the wrong crowd and now his first arrest ever he might have gotten some sort of street cred. we'll see what it has to do for his career. >> to get credibility you need
4:34 pm
to be arrested? and people are actually calling him a thug. is this what you need to do to get some credibility? >> it's unfortunate, but you think of someone like miley cyrus. you have to shock in order to get people to pay attention to you. >> all right, i understand what you're saying, but miley is not getting arrested and not becoming a thugette. >> there has been a lot of pot smoking allegations with miley cyrus. this is the kind of thing where you're trying to break that good girl or bad boy image. you have to do something edgy. >> can i just in here? >> cory is in traffic, so we know he's not speeding because he can't make it to the studio. you wrote a book about the perils of childhood stardom. >> it's a best seller on the shelves now and i think kind of exemplifies everything we're talking about here today. i just want to say this part because i have been that guy. i have been through it. i was 18 turning 19 when i was arrested in los angeles and i
4:35 pm
can tell you this much. he is not thinking any of those things. i can tell you that right now. he's not trying to be a bad boy, he's out there trying to prove himself. he's literally, being a kid growing up and going through growing up issues which we all deal with. which is change of identity, trying to see where you're at with puberty, if girls like you, what you're doing in the world, where you will end up as an adult. all that stuff that we all go through, that's what this kid is going through. >> i'm not sure that i buy that. i think that this may be some orchestrated event by him. some sort of branding thing where he's trying -- >> no way, no way. >> i think he's trying to become the next, what is his name, eminem and trying to become the next like thug. >> totally disagree. i'm sorry, but i have to disagree with you. i think he's a kid and he's making kid mistakes and we all do them. when you're a celebrity, it's under a spotlight and everybody is looking at it. >> barry, cory is saying this is
4:36 pm
a kid with kid mistakes. allegedly his dad was there with him. his mom wrote a book about him. he is 19 years old, his parents can still control him. what's her name? britney spears and getting control of his estate. if his parents are out there, they're just as bad as he is, by allowing him to do this. >> well, i don't know, i don't know what their involvement exactly was with that. i don't know if they're agreeing with it or not reigning him in. but a big difference between trying to change your image and trying to become a "bad boy" if that's what he's trying to do and doing it with the shocking action. then, breaking the law or putting people in danger. if he's drag racing, on public streets and putting other people in danger. you don't need to break the law in order to sort of get your cred. >> i want jim to get in. katrina, i'll let you respond to
4:37 pm
this. last week police searched his mansion after being accused of egging. a friend was arrested for is having drugs in the house. the popular website theroot is calling bieber a teen thug. teen thug justin bieber arrested in miami. do you agree with this? >> i think that's the image. look, look at the stories about justin bieber in the last few months. one neighbor alleged that he spit on him. another neighbor said he's racing up and down his neighborhood at 100 miles per hour in his own ferrari. another said he threw eggs at his house. he's doing thuggish behavior trying to get attention. just last few days he was reportedly at a nightclub and he had $75,000 in $1 bills at a strip club. you know, that's the image he's trying to portray for whatever reason. but to us it looks like he's spiraling out of control. i understand what corey feldman is saying, but i think this young kid has a lot of money, a lot of enablers and he's going
4:38 pm
down fast. >> exactly. that's what it is about. this is beyond his control. this is not manipulated. >> no, no, no. that's not right. it's not beyond his control. he's 19 years old. we keep calling a kid. he is 19-year-old young man. what do you mean it is beyond his control. i disagree with you that this is normal teen action. this is not normal teen actions. most normal teenagers are not in a club, most normal teenagers are not in a club with $75,000. they're not taking a lamborghini and running it down the street. the parents are not involved in this. they're not egging their neighbors' homes. they do that when they're 12 years old. go ahead, cory. >> not that he's, he's not your average teenager. he's a guy with millions of dollars. he is a guy that can drive a ferra ferrari. normal kids don't have that. >> that's not an excuse, though, cory. >> emotionally, he's probably coming from a messed up family and lee doesn't get the love that he needs and nobody is
4:39 pm
sitting him down and saying, you have to pull your life together. he has a bunch of yes men around him. >> sound like you're making excuses for him. katrina, am i right? >> some excuses being made. but if this is a kid, obviously, who has millions of dollars. 19-year-old, he has family around him and enablers as we said. but, also, i do think there is something about being a celebrity where you just think, nobody is going to say no to me. you can speak to this, but reportedly earlier in my miami, he had gotten a police escort. he and his entourage got a police escort going back and forth to strip clubs. one night given exceptions and the next night being searched. that could be confusing to someone we're calling a kid. not that should be allowed to do this in the first place. he is in a unique situation that most of us cannot relate to. >> what should people around him be doing? >> i think right now he needs to
4:40 pm
get a new support team around him. some people when are in the aa world who are sober and have their lives together who are going to guide him and help him by saying, no. you can't have the labor geeny to drive around because you just got a dui. you can't have $75,000 cash. you will have an allowance. he needs to get his life focused and get his life in order and stop trying to be the bad boy, if that's what it is. i honestly don't believe that. >> barry, listen, if you look at the mugshots. he's smiling. but if you look at justin bieber eyes, he doesn't appear to be happy. appears to be a sad clown, if you look at the mugshots. >> a stage in his life where he feels invincible and he wants to test all the rules and push all the limits. and he has the wherewithal todoo it. i think he will find out as many former child stars have come to find out that the law has way of slapping you aback in the face that is a true wake-up call.
4:41 pm
the games are over. if you're not doing, you're not trying to change your image without hurting people and without breaking the law and you're running a huge, huge risk with the rest of your life. >> jim, how often have you and i talked about this with other child stars with chris brown, with michael jackson even. with whitney houston. you see the behavior spiraling out of control. we talk about it and it becomes the news. everyone wants to watch it and then all of a sudden you go, this person is no longer with us or this person is in jail for a long time and we saw it coming, but what did we do? what did the people around them do? >> i have been a reporter for over 25 and never thought i would take legal reporter and intergainme int entertainment and people around them knowing that something bad is about to happen and no one is saying anything.
4:42 pm
except those of us on the sidelines saying, look what is about to happen and nobody listens. >> barry, i have been wanting to do this since i was a kid to have you on a television show in the boxes like this and then look up and then over at everyone. and figure out. here's the story -- >> you got to love it. you're a good sport, greg brady. thank you, greg. thank you, katrina. and thank you, corey. no speeding. get to your destination safe and sound. >> my destination was there. so, i guess i can go home now. but don't forget to watch my new live talk show and i'll be talking all about this issue. >> what is your book, again, corey? >> "coreography." more on bieber's troubles. jeanne moos looks at some of the strangest reactions to the
