12:01 am
plus ... google's street view. those vans cruising your neighborhood could be taking more than just photos. coming up tonight on justice. hello and welcome to justice. i'm judge jeanine pirro. mitt romney may have the most delegates, but today belongs to rick santorum who won the kansas caucuses by a huge margin. we have our republican and democratic strategists joining me this evening. so santorum came close to winning in ohio as well as in michigan. today he wins kansas. does this guy have the organization as well as the money to win it all? >> he doesn't have the o., that's for sure. money might come if he wins mississippi and bahamas next week. he might see more money. when you don't have the organization to even qualify for certain ballots, it has to call into question your ability to actually serve as commander-in-chief of the united
12:02 am
states military. i don't think he has what it takes to be president. >> get off that. what do you think? he could be president. anyone could be president over boyntoobama. look, in polls, if you look at polls between santorum and mitt romney versus obama, basically anyone versus obama, they win. >> if you can't figure out how to get on the ballot, how are you going to figure out something as complex as the middle east situation? >> oh, please. >> this is all coming down to math, judge, and as each primary and caucus goes on, and they're not winning, and remember, we're in proportionaportional raises. apriafter april 3rd, they're winner take all. if you don't win, you get nothing. santorum has to win 80% of the remaining matches in order to get the 1144. >> we've got mitt romney with 440 and santorum with 200 something. okay. so now what we've got is santorum's people calling on
12:03 am
gingrich to drop out. gingrich says he's not dropping out even if he loses alabama and mississippi. is everybody crazy here, or is it me? >> if i'm mitt romney, i'm on the phone to newt gingrich begging him to stay in the race. mitt romney needs him in the race so these guys can't get above 50%. he has not gotten above 40% with one exception. to have two people splitting the conservative vote is great for romney. romney will call newt and offer him something. >> for once i'll say you're right, never again. no, i won't. the advantage of having gingrich in this is because he can pull away from the santorum lead. they can duke it out for second place or whatever. that gives romney an advantage in the south which he desperately needs because he has a connectability problem. >> right. what about the connectability problem, brad. >brad? >> here's the problem, judge. gingrich says he's a regional candidate. you can't be a regional candidate and be president of the united states. he's failing to pass the region test if he starts losing the states that are coming up on
12:04 am
tuesday. >> for him to even say if i lose alabama and mississippi, i'm still not dropping out, then you're admitting you're not strong. >> i think barring an overture from romney, he's dropping out if he loses these races. >> the man who thinks he's des destined to drop out? >> he won't drop out. >> let's wait until pennsylvania. >> rick santorum was in missouri today. let's take a listen to what he had to say. >> we have to have candidates, a candidate, a nominee who can get up there and draw a clear contrast with the president of the united states. >> all right. now, he thinks, of course, he's the guy to offer the clear contrast to the president of the united states, but today, and we all know it's about the numbers. a new wa rasmussen poll number s romney and santorum beating obama. romney against obama, 48-43. santorum against obama, 46-45. i mean, what changed this week. >> the economy seems to be
12:05 am
turning around. what happened? >> gas prices going up. obama's numbers going down. >> the beautiful thing about speculation, we saw this at the end of the bu bush administrati. by the end of the bush administration, they dropped way down because the speculation did not pan out. right now people think that there's a war coming in iran. it's not going to happen. >> you're a smart guy. you think anybody cares about speculation? what they care about is the price of gas. >> judge, i promise you this. by september those prices will be down. >> what's obama going to be by september that he won't do today? >> if we don't have a war in iran by september, the people are hedging that the price is going to go up will sell in droves at a loss. the price will go down. >> chris, you know who you should read? you should read the former president of shell. in 2010 he predicted $5 gallon e in 2012 and he tried to warn the obama administration and was rebuffed totally. this has everything to do with the president's failure on the energy crisis that was
12:06 am
impending. he knew it was coming and did nothing to help. >> santorum is right. >> i want santorum running against obama. he would not be happy with the dress she's wearing. >> the democratic party does want santorum. even the unions are running ads to promote santorum against romney because they know romney. >> i've got news for chris. this is 1980 all over again. obama is morphing into jim knee carter every day. we had the iranian crisis under jimmy carter, the gas cries, the political crisis. >> the president's record on foreign policy is unmatched. >> it's abysmal. >> every time i get on a plane, i thank god osama bin laden is dead and president obama made that happen. >> thank our military. >> he should get credit for that. he made the call. >> there's no question that's
12:07 am
good, but you know what? when i'm at the gas pump and i'm digging into my credit card and my pocket, and by the way, you want to pay cash and not credit cards, that's what people care about. you can go through all these, you know, percolations and everything. >> i agree with you. you're going to get no argument from me. as a political strategist, i know gas prices will impact this election. i believe speculation will drive the price down. >> i think the hottest question of the night, rush limbaugh apologized several times this week for calling sandra fluke a slut. meanwhile, ed shuttles called laura -- schultz called laura ingram a slut. republican women, i'm going to you noelle. are they easily accepted as the media says if you trash a republican woman, it's more acceptable than if you trash a democrat? >> well, it seems to be the going thing.
12:08 am
it seems to me that we're held to a higher standard. >> it's a lower standard. it's okay to trash republicans. >> i'll make a completely different argument. the people that made these statements are not major players in the democratic party. >> he's not a big player? >> he donated a million dollars. >> what's a million dollars in a billion dollar campaign. >> there's no big deal if he gives a million dollars. >> rush limbaugh can make or break a republican candidate. >> let's forget about -- christopher, forget about the caller, the person who is calling the person names. i think every woman who was trashed should receive an apology. >> i agree. >> absolutely. >> i agree fully. >> chris, noelle he, and brad, it's great to have you here. we love your energy. do you think you should pay

12:12 am
ice requires that you, the taxpayer, foot the bill for illegal immigrants for being detained for the purpose of deportation, like medical care for people undergoing trans gender hormone treatment. is this the best use of your money? former congressman from colorado, and an immigration attorney, thanks so much for being here. congressman, i'll start with you. >> a pleasure. >> the judiciary chair, lamar smith, has said this is, and there's a new 355-page manual issued by i.c. e, and he says this is a hospitality guideline for illegal immigrants. is he right? >> oh, he is absolutely right, and if you've seen these
12:13 am
facilities, by the way, you know the thought is in a lot of people's minds that these are like penitentiary like facilities. they're not. the medical care is extraordinary. it's far more than basic. sure, treat somebody if they've been injured, give them an aspirin if they've got a headache. deal with immediate problems. after all, these people broke into the country. they did not accept a voluntarily return. they said no, they want to stay and fight it out. that's the only ones that get in detention, not the people coming across who say i want to go back. we just send them back. it's almost a voluntary thing to go into detention. i will tell you this. i saw, i saw with my own eyes one time when i was in the arizona -- one of the arizona facilities viewing it, when i was in congress a guy came up, gave himself up, an in order tot his teeth taken care of.
12:14 am
when i asked the head of the detention facility, i said how often does this happen? he said more often than you would think. those were his words. >> all right. should illegal immigrants who broke the law to come into this country get better health care than some americans? >> not true, judge. there were 127 inmates as they were detainees in the last decade that actually died. the conditions are defloro depl. >> that's not what we're talking about. >> i'm talking about health care. i'm talking about dental care, hormone treatment that americans can't afford. >> if a person has asthma, we let them come in with their inhaler. if the person has a medical challenge, we respect that. these are innocents. yes, they were detained, but it doesn't mean they're guilty. >> if they're not guilty, why are we not shipping them back? >> judge, and you're a judge. there are political detainees there. these are professors and scholars that come across the border and seek political asylum. >> go ahead, congressman.
12:15 am
>> anybody that thinks when you say, you know, remember here's what happens. somebody we catch coming across the border. we say to them do you want to be voluntarily reinterned? 90% or more say yes. >> that doesn't happen all the time. >> hold on. hold on. we're getting away from the issue. the issue is should they who are being detained. >> it's voluntary to go in there. >> listen. >> it's almost voluntary to go in is what i'm saying. >> should they be given hormone therapy treatment? >> they should be given treatments for everything medically we're responsible for. that's what the law requires. >> wait a minute. there are a lot of americans who want hormone therapy. >> they provide every kind of treatment from asthma to abortions and everything else. >> why should we provide an abortion to an illegal who's on his way home? >> because the law provides in this nation the right to have an abortion up until the third month. >> congressman, i.c. e told us ac tesaccess to hormone therapyd
12:16 am
abortions is in line with the department of prisons and is the accepted industry standard. what is an industry standard? >> well, god only knows, but i will tell you this. you have to distinguish between what happens in a prison where nobody's going out for, you know, sometimes the rest of their life or at least a long, long period of time, many, many years, and what we are providing in detention centers for illegal aliens. >> they have the same rights, congressman. the people detained in the country have the same rights to have their medical needs taken care of they're innocent until they are proven guilty. aren'are we a humane, just, democratic society. >> mew main is payin -- humane s paying for somebody's abortion. >> let me ask you a question, guys. >> it has nothing to do with that. >> why don't you try to move everything to race? it's got nothing to do with race. >> i didn't bring up race,
12:17 am
congressman. >> all right. michael, congressman, hold on. here's the bottom line. why should someone who is being deported get treatments that regular americans don't get and can't afford. >> why should i pay for that. >> we detained them because they're here illegally. >> we detained them until they've had a chance in court. >> they're on their way out. >> they're allowed to have the privilege. >> they're not on the way out, judge. >> so then if they're returned to the streets, they should pay us back for the health care that we gave them. >> because we detained and arrested them, we should pay them back if they're released? >> they should pay us back. >> congressman, wrap it up. >> there are two pathways. one is onto the street, one is right back to where they came from. there is not a pathway that says i've gotta stay there. they're out of there. >> all right, gentlemen. we're out of time. >> we have to act humane even if you don't like the medicine. >> thank you, gentlemen. it's always good to have you both here. now, google street mapping
12:18 am
service, is it just getting pictures or something more? >> the best thing about spring is the snow melts, the spring seasonals come out, there's life again. >> jim koch: alpine spring is our new spring beer. with sam adams alpine spring, we wanted to make something bright, citrusy and refreshing. >> dave: as a style we started with helles, and we said, hey, what if we let that thing out of the box? let's use more malt, more hops. while it is very malty, it has a very nice, citrusy character. >> man: sam adams alpine spring. it's a perfect balance. >> citrusy but not overwhelming. >> smooth with a nice, sweet taste. >> alpine spring. it's a great spring beer.
12:21 am
have you ever seen the google street view car driving past your home? it was meant to identify street mapping services. turns out google street view was getting a lot more than just a snap shot as it drives by your home. the author of search and destroy, why you can't trust google, and a retired u.s. air force and cyber security consultant join us. gentlemen, thank you for being with us today. now, it turns out that there's
12:22 am
other information that google was collecting other than just this mapping information. scott, what was that other information? >> well, we didn't know that they were doing something called war driving which is basically an antenna that's collecting whatever wi-fi signals are emanating from anybody's house as they drive by. there's a responsible way they could be doing that and an irresponsible way. they did the irresponsible way. they collected all data. they didn't just ping it to say is there a wi-fi location there. what they did is collect everything emanating from that household at that time which could have been passwords or e-mails. >> all right. so what you're saying is they're not just mapping, they're getting information from wi-fi including e-mails, addresses, colonel, what else? >> well, they're getting all kinds of things. scott is absolutely right. these are the kinds of data that protect our privacy, and they can also get on line banking data, anything that happens to be transmitted as they're
12:23 am
driving by. that's a serious problem. >> now, apparently google has indicated and they told us that the wi-fi information was not collected to enhance street view, per se, but to enhance location-specific advertising. do you buy this, colonel? >> well, it would work in the sense that they would measure the data they get from their street view cars with gps, but the problem is that the wi-fi data is sporadic and it can change a lot. if they base their advertising mantra on the fact that they're getting wi-fi data, it's not quite correct because the wi-fi map of the united states changes all the time. >> and scott, do you believe them when they say that look, we really were just trying to get this additional information for advertising purposes, and we accidentally got your banking information, your e-mails, your addresses, your telephone numbers and the substance of your e-mails. do you buy it? >> no. it's preposterous. in 33 countries they had hundreds of cars for three years driving and collecting all of
12:24 am
this data. they said we didn't know we were collecting all of it. well, the thing is they would have needed lots larger hard drives. over a three-year period, hundreds of people should have been saying hm, we're collecting a whole lot of data. how can that be? they want to say it was one rogue engineer's mistake. that's laughable. it just doesn't hold up. >> and you know, scott, from 2007 to 2010 they were collecting this information and during that period of time, their deputy general counsel was testifying before congress and basically saying look, we have a privacy hawks, we're right ow there -- out there protecting your privacy, making sure this kind of thing doesn't happen that we invade your privacy, and yet they did which they admitted to a little later. how do they actually do it? did they have to do something affirmative to collect this personal, private information? >> no. what they did with street view is they just drove by, and they collected it, and it's called war driving.
12:25 am
when a fortune 100 company does it and is doing it on tens of millions of households in 33 countries, they have a standard above legal which is responsible, and it was terribly irresponsible what they did. doing this without telling anybody anything. >> well, and maybe misleading congress when they said they weren't. colonel, how were they able to do this? is this a software glitch or regatta employee? >> i don't think it's either one of those. i think it's a deliberate corporate policy to get as much information as possible. unfortunately, what they're doing is they're not going by the same privacy standards that the government has to abide by and law enforcement and intelligence. being a former intelligence officer, i know exactly what training we had when it comes to matters like this, and it seems to me that there's nothing of that sort being practiced by google at this time. >> all right. you were in the military, in intelligence, you're a cyber expert. isn't this a violation of the federal wire tap law? >> it potentially could be. it's a very, very distinct piece of information that they're
12:26 am
gathering, potentially. it is a very key piece that would only in the old days before we had the internet be available through something like at a phone network, and since the wire tap law applies to both internet and phone services, i think it does violate that law. >> scott, very quickly, a violation of the federal wire tap law? >> well, it appears on the surface it is. it's been at the fcc for a year and a half trying to determine that. at a minimum, it's close to it. >> well, you know what's interesting here is that right now we've got 40 attorneys general across the country who are suing based upon this street view wi-fi collection of information, and a consolidated class action lawsuit. colonel, they say, you know, we didn't intentionally collect this stuff. is that an excuse? >> it can't be. i don't buy it. i don't think that anybody who has corporate responsibility like a company like google has, i don't think they can allow something like this to go on unchecked, and i think they need to take a look at the privacy practices that the government uses in order to really better
12:27 am
themselves in this area. >> scott, final question. just wrapping up here. if they can collect information and not be sanctioned for it, our personal information, why is the ftc not coming after them double barrel? >> i don't know. i wrote a piece just two weeks ago on google's top 35 privacy scandals. you have to have context. google does not care about people's privacy even though they say they do, and the ftc has been largely absent. they did do an ftc google buzz sanction, but other than that, google has gotten away with tons of violations. >> well, certainly on street view, they clearly have not been sanctioned. just for our viewers, nine countries have found that street view violated their privacy laws. all right. general leighton, and scott cleland, thanks for being with us. >> thank you, judge. real life drama in a

12:32 am
the 29-year-old skier died from severe head trauma. there is speculation the latest death will have officials looking into the safety of skiing following sarah burke's accident in utah just two months ago. i'm patti ann browne. now, back to "justice" with judge jeanine on fox. that was the end of the line for character edie on "desperate housewives". turns there was more going on behind the scenes of the hit show than what you saw on the screen. nicollette sheridan sues the show's creator for hitting her in real life and for killing her on the show. the senior executive editor of radar on line and star magazine joins us this evening. how are you? >> good to see you, judge. >> what's going on in the courtroom in l.a.? >> well, we're expecting that
12:33 am
closing arguments to be presented on tuesday. it's been a very dramatic week for nicollette sheridan. this case centers around a squabble over a line that she was supposed to deliver in the show. she claims that as a result of that squabble, mark cherry who is the founder and creator of "desperate housewives" delivered what she called a, quote, nice wallop to her head and then her character was killed off on the show. he says it was nothing more than a tap and a tap designed to illustrate to her what she needed to do on the show. now they're alleging that nicollette sheridan's camp is alleging there's a giant conspiracy behind the scenes by the producers of the show to effectively wean her out of the program. now she says she's unemployable in hollywood. >> well, what's interesting is that she says they killed off my character because i complained about the fact that he hit me upside the head.
12:34 am
sheridan said she was going to call her co-desperate housewives to testify in the case, eva longoria and the others, but she didn't call them. do we know why? >> well, i think we don't know why. in a lot of cases what they would have said would not have been flattering for nicollette sheridan. it's emerged as part of this case that executives said they killed off her character in part because of her, quote, unprofessional behavior. she was said to be a diva on set. we're getting fascinating insights into the behind the scenes working on the show. according to mark cherry, there was a feud between teri hatcher and sheridan on the set where sheridan alleged lead tolly tolr hatch qleer was one of the meant women in the world. i don't think she would find an ally. >> eva long wra kwr eva longoriy
12:35 am
was one of the sweetest men she knows. does this woman have a future in hollywood. >> i think she does. she contends she hasn't been able to get work since the character was killed off. many are asking, though, to file a $6 million lawsuit against your employer will ask the question will any future employer want to take that risk. >> exactly. >> that's a question that many people are saying no, they won't. >> okay. now, also in the news, whitney houston tomorrow night is oprah's big interview on own with whitney's daughter, bobbi kristina and her sister in law, patricia houston. let's take a look at the clip. >> did you think that drugs would end up taking her? did you think that? >> the handwriting was kind of on the wall. i would be kidding myself to say otherwise. >> why are they talking now? >> well, i think behind the scenes there's been a decision by the houston camp to speak out.
12:36 am
we saw dionne warwick give her first interview this week. she's a cousin of whitney houston, the late singer. i think there's a decision being made to talk and answer questions that so many people have, but i think what we'll find is after this interview airs, more questions will be raised, why family members as they said there, the writing was on the wall. why they didn't intervene to stop her. >> all right. and the latest on bobbi kristina's inheritance. do we know what that state es worth? she's the sole beneficiary. >> it emerged that bobby christina was willed the entire state. we unearthed documents from 2007. as part of her divorce filing with bobby brown, what it says is quite startling. in fact, at the time whitney houston only had $27,000 in a checking account. she had debts in excess of $4 million, and despite having assets, two homes totaling worth
12:37 am
-- totaling more than $10 million, she owed just about as much on those homes, so bobbi kristina as the sole beneficiary of the estate is going to inherit not a lot, and a lot of debt. >> well, you know, as often happens it seems that the musicians themselves after they die, their records sell more than ever, so hopefully there will be enough to maybe offset the death. very quickly. paula deen in hot water again. she's being sued. what's going on with her? >> has been sued by former general manager of her restaurant that she owns in savannah, georgia along with her brother, and claims of sexual harassment and also disparaging comments supposedly made by deen and her brother including the use of the n word, even in reference to president obama. ooh. >> she has fired back in this complaint and said that this is nothing more than an extortion plot, and she said that indeed the lawyer representing this former staffer had said that they would settle this case for

hockey mom and a real estate developer who it turns out has some very big secrets. she's been dubbed the soccer mom madam. 44-year-old anna christina, a mom of four from the suburbs, accused of running a high end brothel in new york city. this was no ordinary bor bordel. she allegedly catered to high profile clientele, ceos, politicians, masters of the universe using this upper east side building for some of the trysts. she reportedly took a 40% cut of profits. some say she ended up raking in $10 million over the last 15 years. so how did she get busted? bragging. for five years the new york d.a.'s office has been hot on her heels. wire tapping her conversations, and when they overheard her both of thing shbothofbothoboth ofhee

the clients. there are names that will be released in due time, and i think the d.a. is going after everyone. >> why does the d.a. want to know the names of the johns? if i busted up a prostitution ring, why do i need to know? why do i say to her we've got ten guys here. did you know them and did you service them in the best little [bleep] house in new york? >> the d.a. wants to sensationalize this. who can we go after? what is the biggest fish we can go after? >> i'm not a moralist or anything else, but i'll say this. prostitution is a crime. until they change it, it's a crime. as a result, my old office has an obligation to investigate it and prosecute it. >> five years of resources in a drug ca cartel, organized crime, not prostitution. if they want to know the gam naf the guys, gentlemen, and i don't want to get into the fact that the women get prosecuted and the men don't, the most they can
12:45 am
charge them is a class a misdemeanor. have you ever prosecuted a male for being serviced by a prostitute? >> it happens sometimes. >> have you? have you? yes or no? have you? >> i'll tell you. in fairness to you, judge, you're absolutely right. >> thank you. >> as a prosecuter, i haven't prosecuted it. as defense attorney, they get off with a dismissal. >> you're supposed to investigate crimes and not people, that's the bottom line. >> you hit it on the head. it's the allocation of resources. why would you put a disproportionate amount of resources on that. >> it's the manhattan d.a. avenues office. hogwash. there's enough cold cases, rape cases, go after the real criminals. a 21-year-old woman from tennessee was too drunk to drive so she gives the keys to her boyfriend. turns out he was just as drunk and he winds up killing two people. both of them are charged with vehicular homicide. okay. now, guys, does erin, the girl who gives her keys to her drunk
12:46 am
boyfriend, i mean, does she have a defense? i wasn't driving the car. why are you charging me? >> you have to be driving the car on a public highway. those are the elements of the statute. she wasn't driving the car. the boyfriend was driving the car. >> we're in tennessee, and in this particular jurisdiction they have a law. what does it say? if you give the keys to someone and you know they're drunk, you're equally as culpable. it's accomplice liability. i don't have to be the one robbing the bank. if i'm outside driving the get away car, i'm responsible. >> she didn't know he was going to kill someone. >> it's that you know someone is drunk. in the event you know, you're equally as guilty under that law and as a result, she will go down with him. >> oh, no. you're just talking about from a charging standpoint. you may be correct. from a liability standpoint, he has all the liability, she has none. >> why is she indicted. >> the d.a. was able to diet her under the statute -- to indict her under the statute. she won't do the same amount of time as him. >> it's accomplice liability.
12:47 am
accomplice liability suggests, your honor, if someone, right, is guilty of a crime and you help them, then guess what? you're equally responsible. >> she won't be. >> david, you make a good point. liability wise, she will be just as liable. that means civilly they can sue her if she's got any money for giving the kids. criminally, i'm not so sure. although the law is there and we'll see what happens. stay with us, guys. up next, a flight attendant has a meltdown on a plane. telling the passengers the plane is about to crash. not entirely professional, of course, but do the passengers on the plane have a case? and this dog is a national hero, hunting for ieds in iraq, but time may be up for the patriotic pooch. sergeant rex. how can you help save him?

12:51 am
the allstate value plan. we're back with our lawyers, joey and david. now, gentlemen, when you consider what it's like to fly these days, the real question may be why doesn't this happen more often? take a look at this one. she spoke about 9/11, so i thought right there ptsd. she's having a breakdown. >> she made two comments that if we didn't go back to the gate, we would crash. >> all right. that was a flight attendant. you would think the passengers would be screaming, but that was a flight attendant telling everybody the plane's going 0 crash. all right. i'm on that airplane. i'm having a heart attack. do i have a lawsuit against the airlines or her? >> yes. you have a lawsuit against the airlines. i mean, you could sue her, but is she really the deep possibility? you're going to sue civilly and go after the airline. certainly there's a liability. >> what are you suing for. >> because they're not properly
12:52 am
supervising their employees. >> what's your damages? >> you've got to have a screening process before you let an employee like that go onto a plane. >> negligent infliction of emotional distress. there could have been people on that airline severely disstressed by that situation. >> if i was on that airline, i'd be putting my boots on and be ready to jump. >> listen, it's a tough scenario. people have a bad day. she was apparently bi-polar, but i agree with dave to some extent. you've got to screen people and make sure they're legit. she's bu bi-polar, okay. she didn't take her medication. if she didn't take her medication, should she have been on that plane? absolutely not. when you fly, it's a nerve-wracking thing, especially after 9/11. >> it's never-wracking for the passenger. >> you hear someone yelling bankruptcy, a bomb, we're going down. don't take off. >> especially an employee, a flight attendant. >> i'm curious that it seems the passengers who had to subdue her. where are the our stewards or
12:53 am
flight tenants. >> she was knocking on the door to get the pilots out. >> to tell them the plane was -- was going down. >> they did not leave the cock pit. the captain who was on board hitching a ride on that flight who intervened and thank goodness for him as well. >> all right. now, gentlemen, for my favorite segment, courts gone wild. now, bang. waiting for that. you remember that movie, weekend at bernie's, where two guys party with a dead rich guy, have a party in his house and a party with him all weekend. what we've got tonight are three friends out on the town, drinking, except one of them is dead. the two who were bringing their friends corpse around for a last spin at the strip club are convicted of abusing their friend as corpse. guys, this was a couple of friends helping out a friend, or are these two guys committing a crime? >> well, certainly i think the
12:54 am
events shocked the conscience of anyone who's looking at this particular case. however, at the end of the day, all you're left with is abusing the corpse. >> they didn't abuse the corpse. i don't want to mislead everybody. what they did is they threw him in the car and went to the strip club, went to a mexican restaurant, had a few pops and brought what's his name along. >> even that's defensible. >> that's bad judgment. you see someone injured. this guy doesn't call 9/11. he called his friend. >> he was dead. >> he sees the guy is dead, throw him into the suv, unacceptable. neither of them are in jail, they're doing community service, more importantly, your honor, dave, they're getting mental help they need. someone who would do this is ... >> let's hope they're getting mental help. >> there's an identity theft. that's the felony charge. it wasn't the abusing the corpse that was a felony charge. that was the misdemeanor. >> they took their buddy's credit card and they had a last meal on him. >> filled up with gas, you know, got a couple of beers.
12:55 am
>> that's a felony? >> in the suv? >> they concealed the identity of a corpse. >> how about stolen credit cards unless they say the guy gave them permission. that's even worse. >> a little difficult to get permission from someone who is dead. >> you've gotta wonder how drunk were these guys? joey, david, always good to have you on. hope to see you on again with my favorite segment, courts gone wild. before we go tonight, a justice call to arms. i want you to take a look at these two. this is former marine corporal megan levy and a german shepherd named sergeant rex. megan and rex worked together in iraq to hunt down and sniff out ieds on over 100 missions and two tours of duty. that is, until 2006 when a roadside bomb exploded and megan and rex were both seriously injured. they were sent back to the states, awarded purple hearts, and both spent nearly a year
12:56 am
recovering from their injuries. although sergeant rex was put back into service at camp pendleton, megan was discharged. since then, she's been trying to adopt the dog she calls her partner. well, the time is now. sergeant rex is about to be retired, and he could be put down. megan just wants to save him, and she wants to bring rex home to live out the rest of his life with her, but the marine has run into red tape, and so far, no luck. now, this faithful dog deserves to be with megan. if you agree, please get on your computer. the information is on the screen. contact the folks at lackland air force base. they handle military dogs. e-mail them at publicaf@lackland.af.mil, and tell them megan and rex should be reunited. please do that tonight, and that's it for us. thanks for joining us. thanks for joining us. e-mail us your comments at [ male announcer ] what makes you trust a company?
