at the same time, beth wells, an appeals attorney from atlanta, was also fighting to prove duckett'sjim duckett. i have been representing him since 1990. when i started, it was a bloody time period in florida. there were seven execution warrants the day i was hired. we had seven active warrants. that means seven men were going to be executed and jim was one of my very first clients. >> if there ever is a god-sent person, i believe beth is mine. she's never gave up on me. >> i started investigating his case. and every time i would look into something i would discover, well, hang on. that's not as they said it was at trial. that doesn't flesh out. then you realize, wait, we have an innocent guy here. >> the prosecution's key evidence against james duckett was pubic hair that had been found in teresa mcabee's underwear. neither beth wells nor marshall frank were buying it. >> duckett was accused of sexually assaulting her. one of the things that troubled me a lot is that the prosecution was saying that the pubic hair inside her panties was from the killer, but it wasn't uncommon for ter

this was never done. >> in 1997, beth wells appealed duckett's case to the lake county circuit courtg to get a new trial for duckett, wells called jack edmond to the stand to account for his poor performance. edmond told the court, i blew it. >> i trusted jack edmond. i trusted that 25 years of experience as a criminal attorney, that he would correct this and i was wrong. >> beth wells also offered alternate suspects for the crime starting with ex-cons and migrant workers who stayed at the mcabee home. >> teresa's uncle testified that she had complained to him that there was one man in particular who stayed over there with her mother who would try to pull her down on the couch and touch her inappropriately. and for that reason she had asked to stay at the uncle's house. he's never been examined by the police. they didn't take hair follicles from him. he left town soon after. we don't know where he is. we don't have a full name for him. >> there were always a lot of people around that home that didn't live there. like a little gathering. there were always more guys than girls. a lot o

pursue duckett for the crime if he is ever let off death row for the mcabee murder, a possibility beth wells is counting on. >> they're presently reviewing jim's case, and i'm 100% confident that when they evaluate this evidence, they'll say, you know what? we got it wrong. we have to give this guy a new trial.

there are people who -- some people who do both and do beth well. doing both well is pretty rare. i think zac's point about being involved in a campaign at the field level and seeing what campaigns are like is important. i started in politics working graphic design and digital content and communications. then i started working in politics and campaigns. i was a field director and a volunteer manager and a bunch of other pieces. then i put those two things together when digital became a thing. i think the advice -- if this is what you want to do, find a way to do it. there are campaigns everywhere all the time. right? there are always -- almost -- there are -- if you want to be a campaign person, there are off-cycle states you can work in. in a mid-term cycle like now, there are places to get engaged in almost anywhere in the country. there are competitive races and opportunities to participate in the process everywhere. there are physical and digital ways. we see good campaigns blurring the distinction. we should just be talking about engagement. i think the idea that we're talkin

beth can get on board with as well. it's the paramotor. great footage from this guy craig harrison. in utah, stunning vistas while he's in the air. of course he gets out of the begin, it gets cool while he spots in the distance a hot air balloon. just you see the beautiful part with the river curling through the middle of the shot, decides to have a drive-by with the hot air balloon. that right there's like a postcard view. >> such a cheap, easy way to fly. easy way to get into the air. if you're a beginner. >> certain safety element and feel to it as well. >> you already have a parachute and it's already open. >> look, i'll float to the ground. >> funfully you should say this. title is emergency landing. >> this wasn't just about the beautiful view. >> towards the end of the video you can hear the engine sounding a little bit unhealthy. it's going to be an emergency landing. ♪ >> this is extreme sport for me. permanently safe at every sort of moment and you just land at three miles an hour. it's great. paramotors. >> who doesn't like a warm, comfy comforter? they're awesome. >> i w

you heard beth a little bit earlier as well as jim saying, the minimum wage that is not going to gethe votes out. it's not necessarily going to be swinging the districts a way they want to swing in the 2014 election. there that's completely wrong. if you campaign and the key districts with the motto go vote and get yourself a restored minimum wage, you don't think that's going to get people out? that's something everybody understands. that's the right thing to do. that's the thing that stimulates the economy. it's the things that puts food on the table. if you have the republicans voting repeatedly in the house and senate the democrats should be landsliding it. they have to increase the urgency and get the big unions to put media vies on minimum wage giving it human face to it. they do real work. i believe it is a hot issue back home with 70 to 80%. he's already close to 60 votes. the excuse in the senate is the house isn't acting. if they get that danger petition going all they need is 23 more sign ones and there are all kinds of republicans that are vulnerable because they voted fo

now to my friend beth the you know this stuff as well as i do. you know it cold. cold.ere's the question. here's the question. is hillary clinton going to try to make up for the fact that she was a hawk the last time she ran for president? the reason she probably lost not just to barack obama but also got nicked by -- >> john edwards. >> imagine losing to two and coming in third in iowa last time around. i'm wondering whether she'll try to backtrack over that and say, wait a minute. don't believe i'm that person. i've changed or has the country changed in her lights and become more hawkish and caught up to her. which way will she play it. >> i was on the plane with her leaving iowa and covered her campaign for the ap in 2008. i can tell you that night she came in third, i swore she would never return to iowa again. it was a brutal humiliating loss for this woman who had been the front-runner who spent millions and millions of dollars blood sweat and tears to campaign in that place to be repudiated that way was incredibly crushing. she even said so in her book "hard choi

ten turn of the campaign taking place just off the camera and beth me first and martinez is about to. i hope by now you know the truth. well i can't talk about the case court i have a court that man a man did something to me that day i can't discuss it right but there were witnesses there that man tried to kill me ok i saved my life. and i saw the man that i intended to shoot i saved my life i would of been at the police ok i saved my life unfortunately this sister was standing in the back. she did not deserve to get shot. she did not deserve. my soul is clear. he says he was threatened but no gun was ever found the case will go to court in two years. the violence brought in chicago is tearing apart families the residents of englewood and other south side neighborhoods spend their nights in fear the police are under heavy pressure and overworked but the root of the gang problem lies elsewhere it's a deep seated evil the american social ladder is broken there are no jobs in englewood and no public investments the education system is in shambles. if you ask me are the schools good there. and you can ask me is the quality of

[ inaudible ]. >> these are not official security officers and, in fact, they showed up in a regular car, not anything that was marked. this was a heist basically. reports say those people were carrying in illegal money from kaz zik stap. $3 million. they even tie these people up, hook their hands behind their backs and you see them carry off the cash in bags. seemingly undetected by anyon offici business. >>

well. i could tell you about all the amazing awards beth macy has won for her writing, hello lehman fellow. but the real mark of her life as a journalist shines in a simple question. how many of you remember a specific beth macy story? how many of you remember young selena who made it to harvard with her whole community of gainsborough library patriots cheering her on. [applause] >> award winning stories about the somalis than to refugees that were coming to live in our community where children were going to bus stops where 12 languages were spoken? or her series about teen mothers or how families where navigating caregiving for their elderly loved ones or may be what comes to mind is one of her front burner suit columns that you printed out now covered in grease stains but printed with precious think that instructs you how to make the best smear from 2005. you will remember as obs back here with us tonight. a lot of interviews by bassett. we were lucky because we knew that our story would be in good hands. beth macy lived in lerner since 1989 where she met her beloved husband, tom landon,

well and jefferson county and portions of west virginia. a few very light showers and i'm talking sprinkles here around bethes bethesda, the tyson's corner region, fairfax, a few of those. so don't be surprised if you're walking around and you do see some sprinkles. i don't think it will be enough for an umbrella around d.c. this evening. down to the south, however, a completely different story. we've seen rain most of the day, steady side, leonardtown, calvert beach and the northern neck. it is shifting toward the south and east, but may start coming back as we move on through the overnight hours tonight. so here it is. future weather showing those showers down to the south. watch how they move south. so by 8:00, most of the area dry. if you're going to the philly -- nationals game tonight, as we just played the phillies, now playing the braves, a good game tonight. they should get that in no problem. could be a few showers, but again not an issue. tomorrow morning, 8:00 a.m., could see some issues on the roads as far as wet roads, maybe even some fog out there. we're not talking a lot of rain. just that very light shower activity for the bus

worked passionately to make sure our criminal justice system remains beth in the world, he knows too many outdated policies, no matter how wellentioned, perpetuate a destructive cycle in too many communities, so, eric addressed unfaired sentencing disparities, reworked mandatory minimums and promoted alternatives to incarceration. thanks to his efforts, since i took off, the overall crime rate and the overall incarceration rate have gone down by 10%. the first time they have declined together at the same time in more than 40 years. eric's proudest achievement might be reinrig is rating and restoring the core mission to what he calls the conscience of the building and that's the civil rights division. he has been relentless against attacks on the voting rights act, because no step, including our service members, should have to jump through hoops to exercise their most fundamental right, challenged discriminatory state immigration laws that not only risked harassment of citizens and illegal immigrants but harder for law enforcement to do its job. under his much walk the department has brought a record number of prosecutions for

well run. but this -- the analog of this, the 2008 is not accurate. hillary clinton is the front-runner now, as she was then. but there is no figure outside of eliz bethsn who certainly seems uninterested in running, who is coalescing another base of support other than hillary clinton. and it seems many of the people, claire mccaskill, tim kaine, these are the people early endorsers of obama against hillary clinton. they are now all publicly for her. even chichi hasn't announced yet. >> she'll be in iowa on september 14th. >> that's pure coincidence, i'm sure. >> anyway, thank you very much, chris cillizza. we'll see you in washington. >>> that's does if for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." follow the show online, on facebook and on twitter.

may well be our watchword as we move forward and see these various groups start to work together in different ways. bethe same time, we have to aware that while there's tactical necessity, we need to be very, very aware of the politics. there's going to be political and military tension constantly as we work through this. in a world where there were no political considerations, the fight against isis would be easy. we would grab the military force from the syrian regime, and from the iranian regime. we would ally with them, and then we would all come together and annihilate isis. militarily, that makes absolute perfect sense. obviously, politically, that a lot of difficulty. the tension between what militarily makes the most sense and what is politically feasible in the long term. if i can turn a little bit across the syrian border were i do not have near the experience as my friends here, but i have watched a bit -- it appears to me we will have some very similar issues as we move forward, which all of our panelists here have alluded to. is absolutelyd right that the moderate syrians, the free syrian ar
