thanks very much, doug burns, lis wiehl.na: in other news, the white house is backing a plan to add a new tax to purchases made on the internet meant to level the playing field for local retailers, but it could cost you more money. chief washington correspondent be james rosen does a lot of online shopping as research for part of this segment, right, james? [laughter] what do we need to know about this change? >> reporter: well, propriety forbids me from sharing what i'm buying online, but at issue is a bill that has attracted an unusual degree of bipartisan support on capitol hill especially in the wake of the gun laws vote. the senate voted yesterday 74-20 to allow the marketplace fairness act to be debated and have amendments to it voted on. unlike a lot of other measures that make it to floor of the house or senate for consideration, the one is just 11 pages long. the proposed law would require all online retailers, except those making a million dollars a year or less, to collect sales taxes for the state and local gover

know the answer to that of the we no that prosecutors really want the guy on the upper left there, doug burnser federal prosecutor joining me now in a fox business exclusive. having been on the federal side of this, how close are they to steve? you're on the outside. >> it's hard to know. what you said is true. you want to roll up the chain. you want to flip them op the owner, not on a dishwasher. you have the upon titch -- pontiffs and others say, wait, will he cooperate? apparently, they were not able to get that done. liz: a trader involved, several levels to this, but involved with the pharmaceutical trades where it appeared he got at least, according to the prosecutors, inside information, and that's not fair to the markets. they would allege, and, therefore, they made money. >> that was interesting. you had a various professor of medicine tipping, and they gave him a walk, by the way, deferred prosecution, and then they made the case havinged too with al timer's drug as you remember, i forget the pronunciation, but avoided a loss in one instance and gainedded in another. talk about the

david schwartz joins us and former prosecutor, doug burns is a defense attorney and former federal prosecutorguarantee you if you put that videotape pushing and shoving and kicking and throwing balls at players at point-blank range in front of criminal law students in any law school across america, doug, more than half would say those are crimes right there. what say you? >> i say that is great way to put it. let's break out the classroom. in the classroom, of course, it's an assault. >> gregg: and a battery? >> and a battery with the fist. >> gregg: kicking. >> in the real world, it's a pretty simple misdemeanor case gets bumped down to a violation a parking level offense. the one point i would like to make, if they did that and it would have deterrent effect on other coaches. >> gregg: maybe the real world needs to go back to the classroom. let's put up the classroom, assault and battery. here are the legal defense missions in new jersey. an assault, an attempt to strike a person. battery, actually toug or striking of person with intent to do so with unlawful force or battery. no pain or bo

joining me now to break it down doug burns, former federal prosecutor. prosecutor and fox news analyst. all right. so you have got paul curtis who now they say is innocent. >> the elvis impersonator. >> megyn: this isn't his lawyer, this is the authorities, the fbi the feds saying it wasn't him. >> dropping all the charges, right. >> megyn: they can refile. >> any time, of course. >> megyn: who are they looking into? >> now when they arrested him and they arrested him and kept him for a b. a week. when they held him they said who might be against you or threatening you or something like that who might be an enemy his lawyer gave a whole list. included on this list was the second guy james edward deutschey. his home is being searched, his tiquando studio is being searched. he says there is a grudge between them. tremendous interestingly, interestingly, -- very interestingly, megyn in going after this guy, remember, there were three ricin envelopes sent. one was an obscure judge, judge holland in mississippi. that judge is the mother. >> megyn: got a missi

lease we'll and doug burns, a former criminal prosecutor and criminal defense attorney.to see justice in this case. there is lot of emotion that comes up with the names we read, lis. the fact they did not get the death penalty. what do you think her presence means for this case? >> i think it means she will be very much of a pitbull. that is her reputation. she works 80 hours a week. she goes for the technicalities in the law. so weapons of mass destruction, she will look for something in that charge. will look for any kind of technicality she can find. she will be trying to do anything she can do from a legal standpoint to take the death penalty off the table. will she be successful? i hope not, frankly. >> well, apparently what she does, which is her job is to take the most heinous, type of situation and somehow miraculously i'll put it, humanize the person. no, in the sense that what they did doesn't necessarily represt the sum universe of their life. now the other point that's interesting is that, you know, under federal law we have what is called the criminal justic

joining is now is doug burns a former federal prosecutor. he'll provide some more insight for us.ding patents on human genes for more than 30 years now. >> yes. heather: as we said it's a multi-million dollar business. >> yes, they've been awarding thousands of them. it's really amazing. some of the commentary i read said it was kind of a bad idea that has now been embedded in cement. you know what i mean? to break this down real simple the southern district of new york trial court actually invalidated the patenting of the gene in this case but it was reversed by the u.s. court of appeals, the second circuit. now it's before the supreme court, they would have to reverse the second circuit to invalidate the patent. i think they will. heather: what is the potential fallout. >> the fallout is big. there is a lot of people with a stake in this race. many of the major medical organizations have put in briefs, what we call amicus, friend of the court briefs, amigo, spanish, amicus, latin. they have said that basically genes are not inventions, genes are natural phenomena in the body. i

lis while as well as doug burns. guys, what is going on here? what is happening?osecutor here in this recross of this cross has a lot to work with, and you know, normally you try to get in, try to get it out and do quickly. there is so much to work with. there is snow white. there was the manifesto. why was she writing that. why was the defense expert talking to other people other than arias? why was only looking at some e-mails allowed? the victim feels he was stalked by arias. jenna: is that a -- >> i think it is. he has to go there. this woman padded her resume' apparently. she is clearly biased by the defense and make that really clear to the jurors so they're not confused by the defendant's tactic. >> what do you think about that, doug? >> first of all, padding her resume'. she put down at keynote speaker at an event. turns out she was a breakfast keynote speaker. makes the prosecutor look really bad. jenna: breakfast is most important meal of the day. >> joking aside makes him look terrible. i want to bring up something lis said, she is saying you should get

here is lis wiehl and doug burns. thanks so much for being here.surveillance cameras. i think we should have more of them. we live in a country where we have these horrible things happening and without the surveillance cameras we would not have caught them as quickly. we have no reasonable expectation of privacy on the streets. supreme court has said that and reaffirmed afterwards. >> alisyn: you don't like it? >> lis is right but you don't have an expectation of privacy and in publicly you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy. but we're going down an orwellian road where everybody is going to watch monitors what you are doing. >> if you know you are being monitored. i'm all for having signs and surveillance signs, let me just a couple of other points. in baltimore the crime rate went down 25% when they installed these cameras. in chicago, it went down 38% after cameras were installed. it's just a matter of fact. >> i have another idea to encourage people. i tell you what with everybody's phone cameras and videos, you know that is going t

doug mulford, a chemistry lecturer at emory university. thank you for joining us. what is the active material in the fertilizer that makes it so explosive? >> the explosion you saw was the ammonia burningly -- it will take several days, but probably the pressurized tanks storing the high-volume ammonia they had on site that they were producing. >> of course, we know that fertilizer is often used in terrorist attacks. it has been in the past, although law enforcement authorities say that there's no reason to think this was anything other than an industrial accident. how safely and securely are companies obligated to keep material like this? >> well, obviously, you have to be very careful with anything like this that has the risk for explosion. there are protocols people follow and things we know from years of working with these chemicals on how to keep it safe and prevent, hopefully, accidents like this that occur. unfortunately, every once in awhile you get a situation like this where you have a fire in an unrelated part of the plant that spread to the storage tanks and then we see this tremendous explosion that we saw today -- or yesterday. >> all right. doug mulford, thanks so much f
