dan abrams is chief legal analyst for abc news and nor of a new book.he boston massacre murder trial he joins us from new york. i want to talk about the book in a second. dan, thanks for being here. let's start where we left off on that last piece and is that true possibility of price gouging. you had the attorney general out saying that the department of justice stands ready to make sure that bad actors do not take advantage of emergency response efforts, healthcare providers or the american people during this crucial time. obviously there is a lack of some items and price gouging could be an issue. >> yeah. and it's primarily a state-by-state issue. most states have price gouging laws and it basically means when you are talking about essential splice during an emergency, if you up the price to an excessive amount, which is typically defined as just 10% to 15% above the typical amount, you can either get civil fines or in certain states they can actually go after you criminally. so, as we are seeing, for example, on ebay and amazon and other places peo

we're going to bring in chief medical correspondent jen ashton along with chief legal analyst dan abramsgotten any rest? my goodness. we saw in paula's piece. can you legally enforce a quarantine? >> you can absolutely legally enforce a quarantine. no one is alleging in this particular case there was a legally enforceable quarantine. the question here is did health officials say to the family, you should self-quarantine, and did they then ignore that? that could open them up to potential civil liability. when it comes to criminal, there's another step to take. the first step is notice. you have to tell the people, you must do this. we think you are at risk. then if they refuse or they seem unwilling to do it, then you can actually go -- and it depends state by state, municipality by municipality how that would occur, but there's another phase. you're saying you don't want to do this? we'll make you do this, and it is legally enforceable. >> doc, lay out the reasons for medical quarantine. when do you quarantine versus isolate? >> what's important for people to understand is when you take

abrame wears many hats. and the abc news chief legal analyst. his new book "john adams under fire, the founding father's fight for justice in the boston massacre murder trial." danavirus. but i have to say this about the book. this week was the 225th anniversary of the boston massacre. history apparently got it wrong. there's this iconic image, which we put it up on the screen from henry pelham, and you say that's not the way it actually went down. >> right. what actually happened years ago was not just british soldiers firing at columnists. it was much more complicated. columnists were throwing rocks. fights ensued. and the trial the subject of the book where john adams represented the despised british soldiers was their trial for killing eight, soldiers and their captives all tried right before the revolution. i will tell you as someone who cares enormously about the rule of law. i think it was that respect for rule of law that prevented violence. i think there really could have been violence in response to this. it didn't happen because john adams ended up representing the british soldiers and there was a sense that fairness was the result. >> now, apply the
