and yale galanter. him about potential plea negotiations? >> no. >> okay. the subject never came up? >> it came up because i asked why did they offer those guys pleas and i was the only guy that was not trying to run, you know, get out of town. and i was the guy that was ready to talk to the police from day one. and so i couldn't understand why they hadn't offered me a deal that they were offering these guys. >> they had made plea offers to everybody else. everybody else was getting probation. o.j. knew about the meeting. o.j. said to me he would take probation also. he basically wanted, you know, his position was that he should be entitled to get the same thing everybody with the guns got. and you know, we broechd that topic with chris and david and they wanted five to seven, two to seven. they wanted a significant amount of prison time. i told them i didn't think o.j. would go for that. back to o.j. after that meeting and told him and he said no how no way. >> this is a key, key issue right now whethe

his lawyer being yale galanter. him about the scheme and was given this advice. >> overall advice he gave me was his you have a right to get your stuff. gave me an example that if you were walking down the street and saw your laptop with your name on it, in a car, you can use the force to break the window of the car to get the laptop. >> well, yale galanter has a whole other story there. in fact, he's completely shooting down simpson's testimony. it started just from the moment he took the stand this morning. have a listen for yourself what yale galanter says. >> he never told me of a plan. and, second, i said call the police. he said that he had already tried to call the police and they weren't doing anything. and i said, o.j., you know, you got to call police. and if you don't call the police, call me, call ron, call security. >> okay. so cnn's legal contributor paul kalyn is here. not ineffective in anything he ever does on the air, my first question. there you have yale galanter, an attorney, saying i actually s

galanter is under heavy fire by mr.lawyer, and under cross-examination, one of those positions that traditionally criminal defense lawyers do not like to be in. >> typically cases like this, how do they typically turn out? >> well, traditionally, they don't turn out well for the defendant. because there is a heavy, heavy burden to establish ineffective assistance of counsel. every individual, every defendant is entitled to good competent representation. they're not necessarily entitled to the best representation. to rise to a level of ineffective assistance of counsel is a heavy burden. in this case, under cross-examination right now, one of the central issues is why mr. galanter didn't challenge the ad missibility of the audio tapes that came into evidence in mr. simpson's matter. that is pretty significant. because there was very damaging evidence that came in on those audio tapes. and there was ten hours of tapes of which mr. galanter did not challenge at all. so right now, the issue is why mr. galanter did not chall

galanter said in court.dn't know anything about it, i had nothing to do with it, and i was not there. oj is going to say, yes he did. he advised me. this is going to come up there is this white suv and the origin, and i believe what they will say is galanter was there shortly after oj got his items back. that would have meant that galanter would have been a witness in the case, that he would bflicted out and he could not be his attorney of record and yet he was. those are the things that we will be listening for today. back to you. jenna: if you're viewers would like to watch this testimony by oj simpson you can do so it's streaming online on foxnews.com. jon: a little grayer and a lot heavier. well a life or death decision for jurors in the jodi arias trial. a live report on the sentencing phase after the jury found that woman guilty of first-degree murder. plus, continuing to watch oj simpson, monitoring his testimony, we'll have any big updates for you as they cross. >> stuff of mine that was for sale, so

galanter?: simpson testified the night before the las vegas heist, galanter advised him he had a legal right to confront two member selling sports memorabilia he maintains was stolen from him. >> i didn't break into anybody's room. i didn't beat up anybody. the guys acknowledged it was my stuff. >> reporter: during the trial he also claims galanter never told him about plea offers that were made from the prosecution. >> did you ever hear about a two to five? >> no. >> did you ever hear about a 30-month to 5? >> no. >> reporter: he spent the last four years behind bars with one wrist handcuffed to the stand, the 65-year-old had difficulty pouring water. still, he often smiled in court showing off the charisma many remember. he insists galanter discouraged him from testifying back in 2008 but now he's confident this moment on the stand could sway the judge. >> happy to get to tell his story. >> yeah, i think he did really well. >> reporter: after a handful of other witnesses yale galanter will ta

galanter? >> yeah. well, we talked about the wedding, tom getting married.up, what was going to happen tomorrow. i explained to him what i was going to try to have charlie do, to go in to verify it was my stuff and to try to get more -- see if he could get more personal out of the guys. i didn't think these guys would have everything laying around. i was hoping that maybe one of my watches or rings or something would show up. someone mentioned, i think cj, mentioned -- my daughter, mentioned was the suit going to be there. i said if that suit's there i'm going to take it and burn it. and yale, this is what i remember, you are not burning that suit. told me i was not going to burn that suit. to bring that suit to him. i said, man, these guys, they inflate everything. if this suit was worth what they're saying it was worth, they would have sold it a long time ago. he said, no, and he implied somebody that he knew was interested in buying it. >> we're going to continue to monitor this hearing that o.j. simpson is having. he's trying to reopen his case. >>> toda

in this situation, galanter vs.rite argue; because it's so ludicrous, is that oj says, yeah, yeah, my lawyer told me to go in there and take all of this. i mean, what lawyer in his right mind would tell a client to do that and certainly wouldn't tell his client, oh, by the way, bring guns, businessle whip a few guys and kidnap them. >> galanter testified he did not give that type of advise, stating he told him, look, call the police. >> greg: doesn't that hurt o j's credibility? it's so unbelievable. >> that -- yes, very, very strong argument. but the judge is going to decide. it's all in the judge's hands. >> greg: lawyer verse con, nine out of ten judge goes with the lawyer. >> evangeline gomez, good to see you. >> greg: the irs official who once ran the division has a brand new job, she has been tapped for a role that has left republican leaders livid. details next. plus, the tiny cell where the brutal killer jodi arias spends 23 hours of every day. we're getting a rare tour of that actual cell thanks to the self

yale galanter, he's the lawyer who represented o.j.l week long simpson's new lawyers have been trying to get his robbery and kidnapping convictions thrown out on the grounds that galanter bungled the case back in the day. they say he didn't let o.j. testify, didn't pursue a plea bargain, didn't challenge key state evidence and pocketed a half million dollars without hiring a single expert in the case. guys, let's look at this case one more time. richard, are these grounds for a new trial? >> if the grounds are legitimate, maybe a judge would look at it, but everyone who gets convicted uses the ineffective assistance of counsel as the grounds to appeal it. you need credibility. that's what you need. and this week i'm sure o.j. and his handlers thought he did a good job. that was until yale galanter got on the witness stand and not only refuted everything but told a judge o.j. called him the day after the holdup and said, i know i'm in trouble. i told the guys to bring the guns and it got out of hand. it's over. fred, what happens in veg

is now saying that galanter was sort of orchestrating the defense mind the scenes and galanter had a interest in o.j. not taking the witness stand, o.j. not taking a plea in the case. and he sort of told the local attorneys what to do. now, the local attorneys are suing galanter and galanter is suing the local attorneys in defamation action pending in florida. so you have a massive fight among the lawyers about what really went on during the nevada trial. so i think that's why this judge has said we'll have a hearing on this and o.j. is actually going to testify at the hear. at least that's what we're told. and i would assume galanter and the other attorneys will testify, as well. >> it will be interesting. paul and wendy, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> always nice being with you. >>> let's talk about something good and fun. kind of like geeky cool. from the international space station commander. he's a rock star. chris hatfield comes home today. what he did in space.

s word versus yale galanter's word, yale galanter is going to win the day.edible attorney. he happened to do a very nice job during that trial and certainly he was effective during that case and i wouldn't give his testimony any credibility whatsoever. that's o.j. >> jamie: the judge will value all the evidence. that's clearly your opinion. rebecca, i'll ask you as well, how would o.j. prove that yale galanter told him, go and get your stuff and knowingly that there were weapons involved, o.j. was going to ask for guns, let him go he had and do that. how does he prove it? >> he doesn't prove it. it becomes his word against galanter's word. in a normal case you say, well, we're going to weigh it fairly. but in this case, you have o. j. simpson who has been clearly problematic over the course of time. >> jamie: can i bring up one more thing? >> absolutely. >> jamie: before we go, a lot of people say that he's in prison right now not for going and grabbing his memorabilia, but because they believe he killed his wife and her friend. so the question is, could he

tomorrow, though, yale galanter will have his own moment to answer to all of this.in his own defense and again, his former client. what a dynamic. cnn's palm vercammen is live for us. break it down for me, paul, i understand we lost our signal with paul vercammen. if you can make one quick observation of this case versus the case i covered extensively years ago in 2008, this was a american who stood in front of journal jackie glass, put his hand up and said, i'm okay with not testifying. he did so under either, he did so with his lawyer beside him. every grownup has that opportunity to do so. to come back and make that claim that i wasn't allowed to testify, i think a lot of people, including this judge, who knows the drill might question that. but there are other claims you heard that may have more merit. it remains to be seen. our paul vercammen with back with us, outline the o.j. in that court compared to the o.j. of trials past. who has he become now? >> reporter: well, he's still inessence the same o.j. who looks to be the storyteller the smiling guy who has ha

galanter. sim himson claims he bungled his defense. a lot of people are saying a lot of different things about what o.j. simpson has to say and o.j. simpson will be saying it, isn't he, momentarily, paul? >> reporter: he is going to be saying it. we expect it a 9:00 on the west coast, o.j. will take the stand properly. by the way, it is understood he will be on the stand undirect examination from his new lures. then, of course, can you expect an absolutely furious and bliserring cross examination. you know, prosecutors not choosing to say anything to us when i called over and tried to get them to say the record speaks for itself, meaning that theically the o.j. was rightfully convicted but today as he goes through those 19 claims for relief leading to a new trial, we are going to hear everything from yale galanter did not fully advise him about a plea deal. yale galanter knew he had planned to recover things. they will say that yale ga lanter refused to admit that drinking could have clouded hi

wanted to know where galanter spent o.j.'s defense money. why he didn't hire experts and why he allowed certain pieces of evidence in. the whole thing more stand off and debate than q and a. >> you can't pick and choose what comes in and comes out. >> you most certainly can if you have an expert that sifts through the audio and takes out objectionable parts, can't you? can't you? >> again,. >> can't you? >> again. >> can't you? >> again. >> can't you? we can go on all day. >> and the judge had to step in numerous times today, harris. >> harris: wow. "can't you." there is also a question of whether the former attorney kept details of a possible plea bargain from o.j. simpson. >> that's right it really could come down to who the judge believes. galanter or his former client because they really have opposite things to say on this. >> did you ever hear about a two to five. >> no. >> did you ever hear about a 35 month to 5. >> no. >> 5 to 7 or 2 to 7. they wanted a significant amount of prison time. i told them that i didn't think o.j. would go f

after all, for years they were sidekicks if you will, galanter on o.j.'s side constantly representing him in a myriad of different legal ventures. and now basically o.j. is saying this is a case of sheer betrayal, galanter did not serve him well, in fact loused up his trial so badly he deserves a new one. that's where we're going to start this morning, ashleigh. >> and paul, it was just this week for the first time he walked through that door on the right hand side of your screen and the headlines were very clear, he is older, he has gained a lot of weight in that jail. but one thing he's not done is talk. he hasn't granted any interviews. we all expected that big interview that, you know, would blow the door off this whole case and where his head was and what it's like to be sentenced to 33 years. we've heard nothing, i for one tried very hard to get yale galanter to get that interview, help me get that interview with o.j. simpson and galanter said specifically to me no way. we've got appeals that are pending, o.j. will not be speaking without question.

assertions galanter denies. >> i advised him i didn't think he should testify. >> reporter: galantergive and dismisses claims by o.j. that he told him about the plan to get the memorabilia. >> mr. simpson never told me he would go into the palace station with a bunch of thugs, that he asked to bring guns, keep people in a room and forcibly take his property back, and the insinuation that i would have blessed it or anybody else with a license to practice law would have blessed it is insane. >> reporter: the prosecution says galanter defended simpson fairly. >> did you feel you were adequately prepared for trial? >> yes. >> reporter: the exchanges in the courtroom were at times contentious. >> is that your testimony? >> yes. >> i guess it is. >> reporter: outside the courtroom, simpson's lawyers struck a more positive tone. >> the petition had merit and every single day we had testimony, we scored points. >> reporter: now it's up to the judge to decide whether or not o.j. simpson's previous conviction stands or if he's entitled to a new trial, which could also mean he could be set free

galanter? >> yes. >> reporter: it was already expected to be high drama in court with galanter scheduled to testify. >> his reputation is on the line. >> reporter: simpson also games galanter never told him about a plea deal proposed by the prosecution. he has spent four years behind bars of a sentence that could last 33 years. >> he's got a pretty compelling case that he was not defended properly. so it'll be ultimately a credibility contest. >> reporter: the attorneys are meeting early this morning in the judge's chambers and we'll soon find out if any last-minute witnesses can testify. brandi hitt, abc, las vegas. >>> runners who couldn't finish the boston marathon will be offered the chance to run again next year. athletes who had passed the halfway mark but not all the way to the finish line will be able to sign up in august for next year's marathon. more than 5,000 runners weretoed on the course when the race had to be shut down after those explosions. >>> speaking of running the second l

this is really all he has left, turning on galanter. but courts are very, very reluctant to overturn convictions on the basis of ineffective assistance. and everything i know about this case so far, and, again, we will learn more in the course of this hearing, but everything i know so far suggests that he will not get this conviction overturned. >> and let's talk about what it requires. it's that man's word, it's o.j. simpson's word right now on two prongs. number one, he claims that his attorney told him it was okay to go up and raid that hotel room before the crime was actually committed. and then number two, he says his attorney never informed him of any plea offers that came from the prosecution. you have to provide some kind of evidence other than just your word, don't you? >> correct. both of those claims seem so self-evidently per postrous, one, that yale galanter, a respected attorney would say, oh, with guns, go ahead and take that property back. second, the idea that yale galanter would not mention plea negotiations to his cli

i don't think he has much of a chance. >> he's saying galanter didn't notify him of a plea deal and galanterfied yesterday he did inform o.j. of that. this is a he said/he said battle. >> there's an interesting backer toy with galanter. he's his personal attorney, he met him in florida, they're friends, sort of involved in some business ventures together, apparently this is what o.j. says and galanter gives very emotional testimony. he says as you quoted him, he said "i poured my blood and my sweat and my soul into the defense of o.j." but it just wasn't there. he also said o.j. told him that he, o.j., knew that these guys were going in with guns to take back the property, which makes that a robbery charge. so this really destroys completely any o.j. simpson defense. >> what i find so fascinating about this is that it's rare to see a lawyer testifying against his former client to take the stand but when that happens, the attorney/client privilege totally goes away. >> it's very rare and you know, galanter when they were first starting to question him he said i just feel really uncomfortable

his attorney asked him if his plan was based on yale galanter's advice.was the lead attorney during his trial. and he responded, yes, it was. it's all part of a bigger plan for simpson to gain a new trial and his freedom. he's been meticulously detailing the events leading up to and during the night when he and a group of associates stormed the las vegas hotel room. he claims had was trying to take back personal items he thought had been stolen from him. that night resulted in his arrest, his conviction, and a prison sense of 9 to 33 years. he hopes this attempt will gain him some freedom and get him out of jail and also a new trial. he's already served about close to five years of that sentence, and he would be 70 years old before he's even eligible for parole. >> and just quickly. i know we're expecting him on the stand pretty much this entire day, how long will this last? i know yale galanter is expected to testify on friday? >> that's right. he will be on the stand all day today. and o.j. simpson may be back on the stand we're hearing today. so it wil

and galanter apologized and said he understood the rules and moved on.en his testimony began this morning, he said he was very uncomfortable and really didn't want to be here. is he disputing just about every point that o.j. simpson and his team of lawyers are making, claiming that when o.j. told him about some sort of sting operation to get stolen items back, galanter says he told o.j. to call the police. simpson testified this week it was under galanter's guidance that he hatched this plan that ultimately landed him in prison. o.j. claims he did not know his cohorts had guns that night. go lander says o.j. not only knew about the weapons, but asked his buddies to bring them. despite all of this, this is what he had to say about o.j., listen. >> prior to o.j. being convicted and even after him being convicted my fondness for him. i mean, it was just beyond. you know, i just felt a genuine, genuine closeness. and i felt just devastated that we lost. >> galanter also put some of the blame on his co-counsel, grasso and, megyn, expect the possibility of hea

galanter says oj was not drunk.yings he wanted to testify at his trial. >> i thought the evidence was overwhelming. i thought walter alexander and michael mcclinton's testimony about oj telling him to bring the guns, i thought richio's statements, i thought it would be suicide. and oj agreed with that. >> reporter: simpson's attorneys say he may be called back to the stand as a rebuttal witness. there are others who have testified this week that back up oj's version of events. however it should be noted that those folks also have their own beef with galanter. this is exebgt pecke expected to go all days. it's guessing testy in there. attorneys arguing with attorneys in there. galanter is not taking this lightly and getting defensive himself. the judge could rule today or issue a written ruling within 30 days. jon: keep and eye on it for us. alicia acuna, thank you. >> reporter: will do. arthel: jon so you can't make this stuff up. two would be crooks in california did a pocket dial to 911 by accident. the dispatcher

galanter, i planned to use weapons -- >> no. no way. >> didn't come up? >> no. >> reporter: i misspoke, i said guns in the courtroom, i meant that very cramped palace station hotel room, that room that included nine separate men, heatedly arguing inside it at the time of this raid, ashleigh. >> all right, paul vercammen, watching this proceeding for us. we have been waiting a long time for this, paul vercammen. waiting a long time to hear o.j. simpson speak. he's been quiet and probably very bored in that vegas jail cell. thank you for that. paul vercammen. i want to switch to the other proceedings we're following live. it is an extremely busy today on the legal front. because jodi arias, her case is back up and running. and, in fact, now we're looking at penalty phase. it is a sentencing phase broken into two distinct areas. she was guilty, she was found guilty of shooting her ex-boyfriend, travis alexander, and stabbing him 27 times as well as slitting his throat and not just a little, a lot, ear to ear. and now the jury has one more very big decision t

galanter is no idiot.oubt very seriously he told simpson he was authorized under the law to seize items belonging to him, which i want to point out before you go to a commercial break, these items were removed from simpson's home way back then so the goldman family could not get them for that $33 million civil judgment. so that's where those items went. simpson was trying to hide them from the law. so sheriffs could not seize them and now all these years later, that act comes back to haunt him. >> nancy grace, thank you so much. it's a treat for us to have you on the show. >> stu. >>> do not forget to watch "nancy grace, behind bars." two-night special event coming soon on hln. nancy goes behind bars to talk to female inmates at the very same jail where jodi arias now awaits her fate. >>> if you have $2 and a dream, play powerball but only if you are fully inveed in your 401(k). no winning ticket last night. we'll tell you how big this jackpot could be by saturday's next drawing. all stations come over to

simpson says he paid galanter $500,000 for his defense.so testified despite his cohorts getting plea deals he was never offered one. that is because, according to testimony, galanter never told him it was an option. take a listen. >> did you ever hear about a two to five? >> no. >> did you ever hear about a 30-month to five? >> no. >> did you every hear about one count of robbery? >> no. >> reporter: yale ga landter is expected to take the stand tomorrow. martha, expect a very different version. back to you. martha: this is the first time we've seen him on the stand, right? >> reporter: that's right. o.j. simpson, you will recall, did not take the stand in his murder trial and he did not take the stand in the robbery and kidnapping case. his attorneys yesterday said he was very happy to get up there and tell his side of the story. and according to those who were inside the courtroom, he actually represented himself very well. >> we never really knew how he was going to be on a witness stand under oath. today he was as relaxed today as anyb

they'll say yale galanter denied the deal without consulting o.j.l tell a different story when he testifies. the other important point will be that he will say that yale galanter, his lawyer, knew about this robbery before it happened, that he planned it with him, and that would make him a potential co-conspirator. surely a conflict of interest. if this judge believes that yale galanter knew about this going in, then o.j. does have a real good shot at getting a new trial. >> we'll see if he can pull it off. we'll check back in with you tomorrow, ted rowlands in las vegas. thank you. >>> up next, prince harry getting a little bit of heat for his football skills. see this? well, any minute, we're back to see how he handles baseball in harlem. we'll take you there live next. ♪ [ female announcer ] nothing gets you going quite like the power of quaker oats. today is going to be epic. quaker up. how you work so hard without looking like you do. how you make every dollar stretch so far and keep your family so close. so we brought back the things you liked

lawyers will argue galanter had a conflict in interest. simpson has been housed in northern nevada.m a model inmate. >> it's common in the prison system, there will be different factions that don't get along with each other. because of his status as a celebrity, and his personality, he's sometimes immediate yates between different groups when they're having conflicts. >> reporter: simpson now hopes his new legal team will spring him from prison for good. cnn, las vegas. >>> okay. let's talk about sports and what a weekend it's been in baseball from the special moment at menway park in boston to the league honoring moms everywhere on mother's day. cnn sports andy shoals is here with today's "bleacher report." >> it was a red sox game that brought heather abbott to boston on the day of the bombings. she lost part of her left leg in the explosion. she had been in the hospital rehabbing until yesterday when she made her way back to fenway. abbott threw out the first pitch to a standing ovation. despite everything she's gone through, she's found a way to remain positive. >>ive a's never

galanter denies that advice.ut if, in fact, the judge would believe that bad advice was given, than mr. galanter would have a conflict in representing him. he would have a conflict in whether to testify or not at the trial because that might affect the attorney's reputation if he gave that advice. and that is very serious. so the ineffective assistance of counsel argument is an uphill battle for any defendant to make, but the argument, if believed, that his client, that yale had a conflict of interest and shouldn't have represented him would go to simpson not having criminal intent and could result in that judgment or verdict being set aside. >> and that could be a big day in the course because jodi arias could also, literally, be fighting for her life. trying to ward off a death penalty sentence. what do you think will happen there? >> well, in this case, i initially thought that she had a great shot at getting life in prison. after this interview, which i know the prosecutor is going to use against her, i think

galanter therefore protected his own interests and did not let oj testify at trial., judge also says that galanter failed to tell him that prosecutors offered him a three-year plea deal. the judge agreed to hear 419 of the claims of ineffective counsel and conflict of interest. they could have already dismissed this case, but they didn't. oj's daughter is going to testify today. we also had an expert on a few hours ago who said that alcohol and maybe concussions from his football career, that may have affected his judgment. jenna, we are also going to hear from both lawyers this week, and that should be pretty riveting testimony because one of these lawyers may say that the other lawyer lied. they have some very bad blood there, and, you know, we did not hear from oj in 199 are 5, we did not hear from him in this trial, so on wednesday you're going to hear oj for the first time testify in a trial basically where he's accused of a crime, that should be pretty riveting as well. he's very char is about what the particular, has that big smile but as you can see probably

simpson said galanter made a mistake by not letting him testify in his own defense.s co-counsel agreed with simpson. >> did your feelings change of your assessment of the situation change when he didn't let simpson testify? >> yes. >> reporter: simpson didn't testify yesterday but he could be heard whispering to his attorney complaining about how this hearing was being covered by local news. simpson is expected to speak on the record when he takes the stand tomorrow. for "cbs this morning," i'm bill >>> we are seeing sunshine and clouds look towards san jose and partly cloudy skies this morning early ongoing to give way to plenty of sunshine as we head towards the afternoon. numbers right now are running in the 50s outside and i think by the afternoon the temperatures will be in the 60s coast side and breezy towards the beaches and mountain gaps and 70s up in bay and even low to mid-8 0á in the valleys. we will cool op before warming up next weekend >>> before dr. phil or dr. ruth there was for the small and the tall. for the strong and the elegant. for the authentic
