for just $25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. that's less than a dollar a day. i just want to encourage all of you to join with yael eckstein and the wonderful work of the international fellowship of christians and jews. god tells us to take care of them, to feed the hungry. and i pray holocaust survivors will be given the basic needs that they so desperately pray for to survive.

was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison. as i understand it as i bring you in this case has been remanded to juvenile court to determine if he should have been tried as an adult and if the case doesn't go to adult court he could be released from prison. is that right? >> that could happen if there is not a transfer hearing where a judge decides that he should be sent back to adult court and that is the tragedy in these cases. there are several of these cases where a person was charged and convicted in adult court as was allowed at the time in the cases been set back by the court of appeals ordering the juvenile court have a transfer hearing but gascon's policies require his office to not go forward with the transfer hearing which would keep the case in juvenile

court which would result in this defendant being released in short order. jillian: gascon's offices there are objective pieces of evidence that contradict the motion and the effect declaration namely the complete transcript of the jail call and the court proceedings. this motion lacks merit. back for one more. you say there are two defense attorneys and one prosecutor. what you mean when you say that? >> i disagree with gascon's statement. what i can say is a prosecutor's job is to do justice and to represent all people. unfortunately in this particular situation the person who has been selected or appointed to represent the people, a former public defender, seems to be just representing one person and that is the defendant in this case. she has had many phone calls and emails with the defendant's

mother, and as the defendant's mother says, has her back and unfortunately she has not outreach to the victim's family before the court hearing and so the victim's family feels very much abandoned, this two defense attorneys and no one representing them. jillian: i want to bring you in, you are a relative. i had kathleen say your family feels abandoned. if andrew cashew were to get out of prison how you feel? >> this is a huge slap in the face. you are going to tell me you're not aware of what you did? you know what i mean? he is a coldhearted murder, he needs to be in jail for 50 years. that was the original sentence.

to us this is unbelievable. we are back again to square one, the killer is going to walk free. what about the family. we have no justice, no voice. we are living this nightmare all over again. there is no words i can explain. this is unbelievable. this attorney general to think it is okay to let criminals out like this just completely wrong. what about the victims, the families. there has to be justice. jillian: i can see the emotion in your face and i can tell you -- >> what we are living. >> your voice is being heard and hopefully will continue to be heard, that is the point of the story.

to speak so a constant vibration for personal liberties. to approach the podium and demand that i be able to address the board that is making decisions. todd: i will try to go with some short questions that will overcome the difficulty with the shot and the sound right there. did you threaten anyone or use violence? >> i never used one profanity or threat. todd: as a taxpayer who pays for the school grounds how can you be band? >> i'm not going to do it. it is constitutionally - that is a public building, and the

public meeting so on that, ban it. todd: we are having a lot of trouble hearing you. hopefully we will have you back but this is a situation we are seeing more and more across the country. the thing i keep coming back to is if the school board is in their to serve parents and kids, sorry you are going through this, the shot situation, we will check back in with you at some point in the future. >> 27 after the hour, police officer at life is saved when a suspect's gun jammed and the heart stepping body camera video and president biden promises. collar jobs as part of the infrastructure but what about other businesses that need employees? a wisconsin business owner tells us the relief they need.
