jonna, what do you make of this as i was just asking ashley? nidal hasan is trying to set himself up to receive a death penalty. ashley basically states she believes he wants to be a martyr. >> yeah, absolutely. i think this court-martial is actually a joke. the moment that he got up and was allowed to represent himself even though he's got a constitutional right to do that, the moment he stood up and said, basically, i did it, i'm the shooter, i mean, case closed. what's going to end up happening, though, he wants to die, and he'll probably get convicted, and he probably will get the death penalty. but because he's representing himself and is incompetent, that's going to be overturned. i don't know why the prosecution isn't trying to just lock him up for life, take the death penalty off the table, let this guy plead to something and call it a day. kelly: in the meantime, jonna, there's the emotional and riveting testimony from people who actually watched this guy attack them, some of them, obviously, will never get over this and will remain fo

jonna, your thoughts on this. we're getting back and forth between the prosecution and ariel castro's lawyers as well. when the possibility is a life sentence, plus a thousand years, what are they really talking about today? what are they trying to settle here? >> you know, that's the funny part about this sentencing hearing. normally when you have a sentencing hearing like this, they're usually is an opportunity for the defense to say, you know, let's lessen this to life plus 500 years. in this case it is just doesn't matter this guy is going away for life with the no possibility of parole. so it makes this sentencing hearing really for the benefit of the victims. i think they're going to feel like they're having a day in court even though they're not having a day in court but they will feel like they got heard. the public gets to hear how sick and twisted this ariel castro was. and that's it. at the end of the day it is not going to change this man's fate. jenna: the man on your screen there is ariel castro, tak

joining us right now are jonna and remi with us.orning to you both. >> yes, this is the tip of the iceberg. we know a federal judge just found that stop and frisk is unconstitutional. i believe that we are going to see individual after individual coming forward, claiming that their civil rights were violated. and i think that some of them are going to have a pretty solid case. >> because the judge basically says that you can't stop somebody because of these vegas descriptions. >> well, what the judge said was that stop and frisk is constitutional. she didn't like the way it was being applied by the city of new york. while the policy is going to remain in place, she wants some safeguards put in there so that it is applied in a non-profiling manner, which i do not agree with people jumping on the grave train now to try to get a few bucks because of the judge's ruling. we don't have time to deal with all of that but it's going to happen. >> i agree with johnna. i don't think that everyone should just file a lawsuit. but what the judge
