avery friedman right here, right now. we have been talking about this journey for quite some time now. finally the moment has come. here she was in the middle of hearings, how did she do? how did she hold up in your view? >> the fact she did a terrific job, primarily because she was prepared. if we heard one thing faced off with about 600 questions, it was i'm going to apply the law to the facts. so no matter -- >> broken record. >> no matter how dramatic it got, that was mantra, that's what we heard. >> but at the same time, there were some complaints coming from the senators saying, wait a minute, we want more. we weren't to hear more about your personal experience, how do you explain that? and is that impacting the court? did she handle those questions well? >> yeah, in other words, at least those senators who are really not too sure about her, wanted to know about empathy, wanted to find out whether or not she was going to be robotic. well, the fact is she kept saying the same thing and fredericka, she never really an

avery friedman, and richard herman. richard, i'll begin with you, because it seems immediately an invasion of privacy. but now you got to figure out who is sculptable here. does she go after the hotel? does she go after, you know, security or lack thereof? the internet? i mean, who is policing that these days? what recourse does she have? >> do you think when al gore discovered the internet, he thought things like this would happen? i don't know. but she's going to bring a massive lawsuit. i think she'll sue the hotel. they are definitely going to find this person who did this. they are absolutely going to find him. they have a screen name. there are footprints left by this. there will be civil lawsuits at a minimum against people. they will try to bring criminal lawsuits. you know, it's one thing to be a peeping tom as an individual. it's another thing to -- to broadcast this stuff over the internet. >> right. >> the crimes are much more severe, and she's going to have her day in court. the question is, is this guy goi

also with us, attorney, law professor, avery friedman.d someone who knows this topic all too well, lisa guerrero, for "inside edition." also was a sports caster, fox sports, and had to deal with the same kind of garbage. again, we'll take your calls, 1-877-tell-hln. lisa, first off, on this incident here, then we'll get into your story as well, do we have any idea where this happened? richelle just reported multiple hotel rooms now. >> right. that's what we heard as well. the initial report we got was that it happened last week when she was reporting for the espys in los angeles. and since then,angeles. and since then some new information has come out that it may have happened to her multiple times over the last year. we certainly hope not. but as a sports reporter myself i can tell you that when you travel and you cover teams unfortunately being a female sportscaster is a double-edged sword because you want to have a big fan base but sometimes some of those fans have a tendency to cross the line. and apparently, that's what somebody has

avery friedman is a law professor in cleveland, ohio.i. >> hi. >> richard leyland, a new york attorney and law professor is joining us as well. richard, let me turn to you, on the grave-digging story, the allegations that the graves were dug up and then resold. what rights do these families have, and how do they assert them in the chaos that seems to be going on right now? >> i think they will try to work with the cemetery, because i think primarily they want to know if their deceased are there. the remains are there, are the graves intact. if they're not, they're going to have to do dna testing. some of the people did not have teeth. it's going to be very, very difficult. the members that were involved, i think there are four now, are facing federal crimes for dismemberment of bodies. facing 6 to 30 years in prison for each count per person. >> and there's no indication, richard, that they have a whole lot of money. so, avery, what do these people go after if they want restitution for the suffering and trying to get all the tests done,

civil rights attorney avery friedman is with us. rejoining us, defense attorney tamara holter. tamara, i'm not even -- this wasn't even a rant the way i understand it. that this was part of like an invitation for somebody to come and spend the night. and in the midst of that said, hey, who says sleeping in a moldy apartment is bad for you. apparently how is this a $50,000 libel lawsuit? >> well, i see two sides of this. i see that somebody is on twitter and they're saying whatever they want. and so you know, even though she has 17 followers, if you can just kind of go with me on this, does it matter if someone has one gram of cocaine versus a kilo? it's still a crime. so the number of followers is irrelevant. it's the fact that she made a statement that this company says is false. whether or not there are 17 followers, it doesn't matter. now, i don't think that -- i think the statement was so vague that the reasonable person, and that is for the jury to decide eventually, whether this is defamation. >> avery, what do you think? does the big company have a case against poor aman
