abandoned them. because they don't understand. >> jennifer was dismissed as den leader because she is openly gay. she said it started when she filled in as treasurer and soon started noticing financial inconsistencies within the local chapter. she said she started asking questions, but shortly there after, she was told by the leadership she had to resign due to the policy on gays and lesbians. >> mission of the boy scouts of america is to develop character and leadership skills and the youth of today to become the leaders of tomorrow. and anything that distracts from that mission distracts from what our program is. >> i want the kids to think this is okay because it's not. >> the decision led to tyrell removing her 7-year-old son from the scouts. since mid-april, her story has generated nearly 300,000 signatures on a petition through change.org and there's a new group, scouts for equality.

same sex parents travel to the coninvestigati convention in orlando to meet with members and deliver the petition. >> i'm unwilling to discard the entire organization like i'm unwilling to disregard the country because of one policy. >> this stamentd from the boy scouts of america makes the point, quote, we do not have an agenda on this matter and the boy scouts membership policy is not meant to be a blanket statement on any group of people or a social commentary, end quote, but recently, the group indicated it would consider a resolution filed by one of its members in april asked that local units be allowed to determine their own standards. a spokes person said the resolution to consider that is not a result of the petitions. it's simply part of the process for careful and respectful review, but tyrell is optimistic. >> they're making a huge stride. let's not take that away from them, along with president obama, they're evolving and

hopefully they'll get there. >> an issue that has been debated before within the boy scouts, brought back to the forefront by a former member pushing for change. george howell, cnn, atlanta. >> let's get back to spain now. and its economic crisis, as i mentioned a moment ago, the country has asked the european union for a bailout for its banks. an international monetary fund report friday said spain will need at least $50 billion to get its footing back. nina dose santos is in madrid and has been following the developments. what exactly is spain asking for? we have asked the $50 billion mark, but is that what spain wants? >> well, this is the key issue. spain technically hasn't asked for anything. that is what came out of this conference call that eu finance ministers of the 17 countries that use the money agreed to. spain was basically going to ask in the next few weeks or so, but only once they had the final

independent audit that they have commissioned of their banking system publishes. they won't just have the figure, round about $50 billion you're talking about. they'll have their own independent figures. the eurozone finance ministers have agreed on a maximum sealing which ends up being 100 billion your euros or $125 billion. >> and so nina, spain is already endured some austerity measures. could it be as deep, could it be to the same degree as what greece experienced? >> yeah, we must distinguish very, very clearly here, that what we're talking about here is not the kind of country bailout that places like portugal, greece, got, because with those obviously came terms and conditions that meant that they had to cut spending, increase

taxation. also for austerity, et cetera. what spain is asking for here is a bailout of its banking sector. not a bailout of the government per se. this government has been in charge since december and it's passed a number of degrees, tried to free up the labor market. they're already proceeding with austerity. but the problem is they haven't realized the banking problems they have and the full cost. >> nina, thanks so much. >> back in this country, actress and singer mandy moore is launching a program that celebrates real women as positive role models for girls. today, she inspires thousands of girl scouts with her message as they celebrate their 100th anniversary.

[ zapping ] [ clang ] this is the next level of performance. the next level of innovation. the next rx. the all-new f sport. this is the pursuit of perfection. a plan who pled guilty to causing a fatal dui crash is now suing the families of his victims for his pain and

suffering. let's bring in our legal guys, avery freeman joining us from cleveland, and richard herman, a new york criminal defense attorney and law professor. good to see you as well. this is an extraordinary case. wondering if this is kind of precedence setting. avery, you first, we're talking about christmas 2007 this sdent takes place. linda and ray and denise and george are all in a vehicle teeth. they were rear ended. no one is disputing the fact there. they all died either immediately or over time. he pled guilty to speeding, the dui, got 12 years in prison, now he's suing the estate for pain and suffering. is this precedence setting? avery? >> i don't -- i don't think it is. it's a disturbing case, obviously, fredricka. but it involved a felon convicted of certain crimes who is now bringing a civil action.

and he's introducing his case with a reconstruction, accident reconstruction expert, trying to say that it was the victim's fault. let me tell you something, he has been on the stand, we heard from him yesterday. and the truth is that his credibility has crumbled all over the place. he's not going to be able to show this. technically, he can assert the case, but he doesn't have the evidence, and that's why this is so extraordinary. if he's been convicted of the crime -- >> and pled guilty. >> why should he have the right to bring it? >> i beg your pardon? >> he pled guilty. >> right. so richard, he is alleging that the driver, mcwilliams, should not have been at a stop because he alleged it was a green light and thereby it was the driver who was negligent. five years later, though.

avery says he probably won't be able to prove it. if you're going to make the claim, doesn't it mean you have to try to prove it? how would he do that? >> he has to make the claim as a counterclaim in response to the plaintiff's case against him civilly. but the judge in the case in the sunshine state must be hitting the moon shine because i can't for the life of me see how this case is continuing, why a motion to dismiss this counterclaim was not made and granted by this judge who is inept for not granting it. this men pled guilty to criminal manslaughter. he was going 86 miles an hour when he hit the plaintiffs in this case. he drove the plaintiff's vehicle 40 feet from a dead stop with that impact. he was whacked out on drugs and alcohol. he has a prior history of killing someone while driving a vehicle. this is an absolute outrageous lawsuit here. it does not belong in the court.

there is no offset. there's no counterclaim here. this guy pled guilty criminally, the burden of proof criminally is much higher than in a civil case. it's over and out. avery, you should agree because this is over and out the case -- >> he should lose the case, but he should be allowed his day in court. that's the distinction between criminal and civil. >> we're going see if you agree or disagree on that. we'll find out. meantime, let's talk about another case. maybe you're in agreement on this one. this involved the popular show "batchilous/bachelorette" two young men are suing warner horizon television, the makers of the bachelor and bachelorette shows for racial discrimination. their attorney is arguing that this is a case of exclusion in society and that based on the selection of the candidates, beauty is based on being white,

given the fact there are no people of color who end up being the bachelor or bachelorette. richard, does this kind of have the makings of a strong case that might evolve into a pretty healthy class action suit? >> fred, these are two good looking guys. i don't know what they're doing trying to get involved with this type of lawsuit or this program to begin with. this program is ridiculous, and for them to seek to get on based on racial profiling or discrimination for an entertainment series which is clearly protected by the first amendment, this case is going nowhere, fred. >> yeah? >> this is a waste of time, a waste of effort, and a waste of court. they're going to be dismissed very quickly. >> avery, you know, these two young men are claiming that there are a host of other people who will be able to contend and claim that they were left out as well. and that this is an issue of exclusion and not inclusion.

do you see it differently than richard? >> yeah, i totally disagree. let me tell you why. the suit is brought under the civil rights act of 1870 which is a proper basis for a claim like this. 23 seasons, 10 years, fredriky, never been anyone black that has even made the cut. these guys got cut, i think, the second round. and i think the position of the show is that we really can't find any qualified black people to be candidates. at least that's what the plaintiffs are contemning. that's an outraging defense, and i think first amendment does not apply when it comes to racially segregating a show. the case stands. it's going to rise or fall on the facts, fredricka, but at this point, it's properly pled and it belongs in the federal court, not in tennessee, there's going to be a motion to transfer it to los angeles. >> warner horizon television issued this statement saying

quote this complaint is baseless and without merit. in fact, we have had various participants of color throughout the series' history and the producers have been publicly vocal about seeking diverse candidates for both programs. as always, we continue to seek out participants of color for both the bachelor and bachelorette. we'll see how it goes in the suit spawned from these two. you can catch our legal guys every saturday, noon and 4:00 eastern time. meantime, live pictures right now of an air drop there in colorado, in larimer county. there's a significant wildfire there, about 200 acres on fire in the forest that is private and u.s. forest service land. we understand there have been three dozen homes that have been evacuated in that area. we know that while the air drops are taking place, we also have been hearing from sources there that crews have been on the ground trying to traverse this terrain by trying to get ahead of the fire.

it is a dangerous situation. this is just north of denver in larimer county. and of course, the fire was spotted early this morning at about 6:00 a.m. it has grown and will continue to watch the developments there as they try to contain it the best they can. they're in larimer county. live pictures there of colorado. instead we had someone go ahead of him and win fifty thousand dollars. congratulations you are our one millionth customer. people don't like to miss out on money that should have been theirs. that's why at ally we have the raise your rate 2-year cd. you can get a one-time rate increase if our two-year rate goes up. if your bank makes you miss out, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense.
