that institution, gentlemen, is a court. our court system has its faults, as do all other human institutions. our courts are the great levelers. and in our courts all men are created equal. i know idealists to believe firmly in the integrity of our court and our jury system. that's a living, working reality. gentlemen, a court is only as good as every man of you sitting before me on this jury. a court is only as sound as its jury and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up . i'm confident that you will review without passion the evidence you have heard, come to a decision and restore this defendant to his family. in the name of god, do your duty. in the name of god, believe him.

. >> honored guests, friends, ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor for us to be here to celebrate thee- american history month. we're honored to have the honorable city mayor of san francisco, the president of the board of supervisors, former mayor brown, and other city officials, friends. in celebrating -- this is the second year that we celebrate the filipino-american history month. it is also quite appropriate to announce perhaps that the u.s. senate has passed a senator solution proclaiming october 2011 as philippine-american history month as well. i think it is also appropriate to announce that govern merck -- governor edwin brown announced that he had signed ab 199, school curriculum, social sciences, filipinos in world war ii. i think that all of these events show that the filipino- americans are really coming out of the woodwork and showing themselves as a group that needs to be recognized. as we, this evening, a well recognized quite a number of them. we welcome you tonight. may i also ask you to welcome the honorable mayor edwin lee.

regrettably, ladies and gentlemen, perception is reality. when many of our young people look at the housewives of orange county and aspire that that is what success looks like, but what the camera does not show is that 37% of the houses in orange county are under foreclosure. what is the perception? what is the reality? when they turn the channel and look at basketball wives and out of nine frustrated women, eight of them are not even married. what is the perception? and what is the reality? when we look, if you've got a large stomach and can handle your nerves and look at the house wives of atlanta and see an unwritten script that as the world turns doesn't even have that kind of vivid imagination, what is perception and what is reality? it is our question why we sit here in this panel today, talking about who is wrong, is it the police officers? how i wish we could give every police officer in america rose-colored glasses. what we found out as president obama's bill could not pass, it's not in the budget. and so because we cannot give all

good morning, gentlemen. i guess we could say this is the first full week of the full-on campaign that we've known for sure mitt romney is going to be the nominee. should we be surprised these polls are tightening, carl? >> no, i've thought all along this is going to be a very close race barring some surprises, probably within 1% the winner will get. we're in a bad economic situation. we're pulling out of it. we've got a very controverted president who is himself the issue with great numbers of voters. we've got a republican candidate who's got an awful lot of personal baggage, who's got big problems with women. this is a snapshot of the moment. it's going to change as we go through this process. but i suspect it's going to stay pretty close through the process. one of the big things to look for is the citizens united decision by the supreme court, which is going to result in this unprecedented flood of negative campaigning, advertising, paid on television. the real job of the press in this election is going
