the grandmother's care. >> that's correct, ann. they're in the encino compound and the credo of the family right now is keep those kids busy. that's what the family's doing. among the aunts and uncles and 20 cousins, they're playing a lot of basketball, video games, water balloon fights and keeping them distracted from the sadness of this. >> sounds like there is a lot of family support, not just katherine. people have asked questions because she is of a certain age, whether or not she can handle the rambunctiousness of three children. there is a lot of support? >> there is a lot of support. whatever you want to say about the jackson family, they are really showing their true colors right now in how they're handling these kids. by all accounts, it's a very close bond. >> normally in these kinds of questions about custody, it takes a while. what's different in this one obviously is that we're looking at it taking a while in front of cameras. so part of that is this question about debbie rowe. what is the latest information there? >>

anne bremner out of seattle and paul batista out of new york, what is your defense, anne bremner, fory who is texting his mistress as his wife and children are being buried? >> i'm hoping to wait for that defense, nancy. i mean, the more is explained, the less any of us can understand it. it's horrific. but there's got to be something so wrong with this guy. we've got to get an evaluation to see. he set this up in the most stupid way you could think of in terms of describing what would happen by the suspect. it's got to be an insanity or mental defense. >> paul batista? >> you know, nancy, he's insensitive, he's a difficult guy to deal with. but texting messages, telling somebody else you love them, does not make for a murder conviction. these things are aberrational behaviors, but they're not indicative of a murder. >> right. i want to see you stand up in front of a jury and say that. >> i'll do my best. >> bethany marshall, weigh in. >> he knew right from wrong because he planned this for a long, long time. he's not mentally ill. he has probably -- probably has a personality disorde

also with us, ann mccart for the insurance institute for highway institute. stacy kaiser, a psychotherapist steve, let me start with you. you've been on the roads. does that number strike you, 23 times greater, or do you expect that? >> mike, i wouldn't expect it to be that high, but i've got to start by saying i've investigated serious and fated al accidents by people dialing their phone, talking on their phone, reaching for their phone, and texting with their phone. it is a problem for sure. >> ann, as we look at this, that crash risk, so much greater. can we use this, and do we need the ban across this country? it seems so with those numbers. >> i think based on the research, it makes a lot of sense to ban cell phone use and texting. i think the challenge, however, is to be able to enforce those laws, to really get drivers to hang up. >> steve, how do we enforce that? that's a great point. people, as we note, know it's wrong, know it's dangerous, still do it. they're going to be doing it out there. how do we enforce it? >> i think this study is going to pr
