gloria allred, alexis martin neely, mickey sherman, daniel horowitz. to you, daniel horowitz.>> why now? remember, she got paid between $500,000 and $12 million when she finally tried to sever her parental rights. does she sense a bigger pay day if she gets the children? or if she tries to get the children, she might be paid off to just go away? >> i don't know, nancy. two years after she gave up those rights, she fought to get them back and the court of appeals ruled in her favor, i believe, in 2006. and i posted that on my website. so she fought for her kids before michael died. i think she's a mother -- >> put him on the screen, please. horowitz, if she fought so hard for her children, why didn't she ever enforce visitation? >> initially she did not. then she fought to get some sort of basic rights. >> really? she fought? what? >> yes, she did. i read the court of appeals opinion. >> then why didn't she get visitation? why didn't she have it enforced and see those children? >> well, nancy, that i can't answer. because brian oxman would know better than i. but she did fight

joshua horowitz is the executive director of the coalition to stop gun violence. he is a visiting scholar at john hopkins bloomberg school of public health and he is the co-author with casey anderson of "guns, democracy, and the insurrectionist idea." >> my name is josh horowitz, thank you very much for having me tonight. as professor churchill said i'm the co-author of "guns, democracy and the insurrectio insurrectionist idea." i am very pleased to be here and i want to thank professor horowitz for being here, this is his brain child and thank you very much for doing that. i wrote -- casey and i wrote this book and we tout about this book as a critique of the idea that unfettered access to firearms keeps us free, so today in this debate, we're not necessarily talking about the right to conceal-carry, the ability to own assault weapons. what we're talking about is the idea that political violence is authorized -- with arms is authorized under the constitution, is that part of our second amendment legacy and then of course, is that something that's healthy and good

let me go to david horowitz, the founder of "front page" magazine, author of "one-party classroom."david, these are some of the things that gates said to the police officer. he said -- gates could be heard screaming" this is what happens to a black man in america! you don't know who you're messing with!" gates made a phone call with the officer standing at the door and he said "get the chief! what's the chief's name?" when the officer asked to speak with gates, gates said i'll speak with your mama outside! today the cops said gates did lots of trash talking that night, specifically about his mama, but not all of it made into the report. what do you think this is about, because this guy is known as a fairly rational guy. what happened here? >> yeah. louis gates is one of the more thoughtful professors, certainly. he has built an impressive -- it's almost the only black studies department in the country that isn't about racial hux terring, but he behaved here. he fell into this mode. in fact, what happened was that there was a perceived break-in. a neighbor had seen two black men brea

from san francisco, noted defense attorney dan horowitz. and from new york, peter schaeffer, known defense attorney, renowned defense attorney. now guys, i find it unusual. if this is a death investigation, dan, to have in these search warrants the mention of manslaughter. don't you? >> it's very strange, mike. and there is some dangers in specifying only one crime when you're looking for evidence. because it gives the police too much discretion. what's evidence of manslaughter? a judge is supposed to tell the cops can you look for these specific items and not give them broad discretion. it could lead to suppression. and it's also tipping the hand i think, mike, they know this doctor is going to be charged with man slaughter and they're just wrapping up right now. >> that's what it seems to me, too. to get one of these and have a judge sign a search warrant, you need probable cause. which as i was a rookie -- one of the first things they taught me in the police academy, probable cause is a set of facts or circumstances that would lead a rea

the owner you just heard from, mark horowitz says he will rebuild the restaurant.e believes an electrical short is to blame for that fire but investigators have yet to determine an exact cause. we're live in pikesville, cheryl conner, abc2 news. >>> an entire city block is destroyed and dozens of people have no place to live in york, pennsylvania. this is the scene yesterday afternoon. fire ripped through an entire block of row houses. thankfully though no serious injuries were reported but the damage is immense. fire officials say it spread really quickly. most likely because those row homes did not have firewalls. >>> a police-involved shooting in carroll county. state police now say a taneytown police officer shot a man trying to shoot down another officer -- it was a woman. it happened in the 400 block, rather, of baltimore street around 10:30 last night. the officer was responding to a report of a woman who needed help. the suspect shot in the arm and was flown to shock trauma. no word on the apparent motive in this but police say the man and woman did know ea
