conrad's daughter, sammy. he has pled not guilty. conrad has been indicted on 38 counts of possession of child pornography, to which he's pled not guilty. according to authorities, none of the images confiscated from his computer were of sammy. the brothers were arrested and charged these offenses after an even more serious crime occurred. sammy, her mother and an adult female roommate were all stabbed to death inside their home, which was then set on fire. and burned to the ground. >> the homicide investigation when it first started, of course, we thought that they were just eliminating us as suspects. a few hours into the interview, it became very clear that they were looking at us as persons of interest. and that's how we were described on the news. >> though conrad and baron were immediately targeted as suspects, they have not been formally charged with any of the three murders. nor the arson. >> i was devastated. i couldn't believe it. on the news they put me as suspected of three counts of capital murder, stabbing, arson and th

conrad murray.d liable, tens of billions of dollars could be at stake and i asked hln's jane velez-mitchell if this is about the money or about holding someone accountable for michael's death. >> i think that it's financial and it's emotional. dr. conrad murray could be out in a couple of years, and katherine lost a son, these kids lost a dad and the world lost the king of pop, and i don't think it feels like real justice for them. they want more justice, so they're going into civil court where the currency for justice is money and they are seeking a lot of it, some say this could be if it goes in their favor billions for them. >> speaking of the courtroom, conrad murray has never sat in that box where he would have to testify, never spoke under oath about the singer's death which occurred on his watch. if he refuses to do this again in the upcoming trial, how does the trial suffer? how does the family suffer? >> i don't think it suffers that much in the sense that dr. conrad murray does not have a

conrad murray.ry manslaughter in jackson's death.trial begins tuesday and mrs. jackson is reportedly suing for billions of dollars. let's bring in cnn legal contributor paul cow an and rachel self. this is a negligence case, a civil case. how will the jackson family try to prove this? >> well, i think they're going to have a tough time. it is kind after ridiculous case. picture this. michael jackson says to the concert promoters i want you to hire my personal physician. a guy who's licensed in four states and has never had a disciplinary problem brought against him, conrad murray. the promoters hire conrad murray. then at jackson's request he administers parole follow killing michael jackson and now the jackson family's trying to blame the concert promoter. they got to convince the jury of that and they got $40 billion. i say it is an uphill battle to sell that theory. >> so rachel, are you saying this is laughable? >> yeah. i agree with paul. what we're dealing with here, it doesn't make somebody p

from what i understand, conrad murray will not be testifying, so you won't hear from him. from michael jackson. i would look to any e-mails or intercommunications between aeg and conrad murray, if they, in fact, exist. and my understanding is, there may, in fact, be an e-mail from a ceo or an executive at aeg, which discusses who murray works for. so these are evidence pieces that are going to be absolutely important for the trier of fact. >> and actually, debora, the family does say they have an e-mail that's proving that aeg live was paying dr. murray's salary. here's what the aeg co-ceo said about him days before his death. "we want to remind murray that it is aeg, not michael jackson, why pacing his salary. we want to remind him what is expected of him." could this be the smoking gun? >> absolutely. this piece of evidence, if it goes to a jury and those 12 jurors are inside a deliberation room, they're going to say, why would this e-mail ever have been sent? under the negligent hiring cause of action, which is the only remaining cause of action left, they have to prove

we have dave goldman, conrad, and steve weiss. think the data at the margin are coming in better than people are saying including today's jobless claims which dropped the factory orders yesterday, the nondefense orders were huge. i think we have a chart to show how that has improved. if corporations will start plowing profits in to investment that will create jobs. people under estimating the economy. >> i think you're right. we have an important report coming out tomorrow. we had a jobless claims reeding that's at the lowest level in five years. we have other strong reading from the ism survey that came out this week also. all the worries about the consumer i think some of it coming from some comments from big retailers earlier in the month. auto sales rose in february. the economy is doing okay and maybe a little bit better. >> i'm not political on this. i'm just looking at the numbers. i read your reports with breath interest. i don't think you agree with what conrad and i are saying. you're missing a better economy. this is ec

who actually hired, who was going to pay conrad murray and i should tell you right off the top thereed and conrad murray for all the time he worked for michael jackson expecting $150,000 a month salary never got paid a penny, so how do you prove with no contract signed who hired him, who paid him, whose responsibility he was? he was actually michael jackson's friend, doctor friend, who he had met many years prior because he'd taken care of his children and it was michael jackson who brought him into this sphere, but where's the responsibility? that's up to the court. >> so, debra, knowing that there were no contracts signed, what chance to the jacksons have in winning this case? >> the remaining cause of action which is the negligent hiring by aeg would fall down to the evidence. it would be in the form of testimony. it would be in the form of e-mails. if there's no signed contract, was there an unsigned contract. from what i understand, conra murray will not be testifying, so you won't hear from him. naturally you're not going to hear from michael jackson, so i would look to any e-m

they were senator domenici, senator nickles, senator gregg, senator conrad. we did not always agree on every issue, but by and large, there was coordination between the budget committee and the finance committee. basically i had past chairmen, republican or democrat, come to me and say, "tell us what you can do or not do within the finance committee so we don't give you an impossible task when a budget resolution is adopted by the united states senate." and it worked very well because they respected the institutionalized knowledge within the staff of the senate finance committee, both republican and democrat staffs, as well as the more important institutionalized information that comes from the joint committee on taxation. now, as i said, we didn't always agree on every issue, but by and large, there was that coordination. unfortunately, the coordination receded somewhat starting in the year 2007, and since 2010, we fell into this four-year pattern of not even having a budget debate in the united states senate. even though the law requires that the senate ado
