james gosnell. and asked him why he took this unusual step of bringing out the family members ahead of a bond hearing. he said because charleston needs it right now and because every victim has an opportunity to be heard and so does their family. but he began the hearing with a preamble about the impact of roof's family, saying they have been thrown into a whirlwind of abyss and then brought out the family members for tearful statements. >> i will never cause hurt never again. never be able to hold her again. but i forgive you. and have mercy on your soul. you hurt me. you hurt a lot of people. but i forgive you. and i forgive you. >> your name, sir? >> anthony thomas. >> their thompson. >> i would just like him to know -- >> speak up for me. >> saying the same thing that was just said. i forgive you and my family forgives you. but we would like to take this opportunity to repent. repent. confess. to the one who matters the most, christ. so he can change it and change your ways no matter what happen

judge james gosnell was previously reprimanded for using the "n" word in court in 2003 according to a judicial disciplinary order. let's bring in martin savidge. what is the mood in the community this morning the day after that bond hearing? that really sent waves of emotion nationwide. >> reporter: there is no way to express that what is usually a simple proceeding became something quite extraordinary. you can see the emanuel ame church. the crowd continues to grow. i think shock is still the word that is used. the grief, of course. there is still a great deal of shock. i think that's why many people are still drawn here. they have to see it for themselves participate as a community. going back to yesterday's hearing, it is the words of the victim's families and how power powerful they are that many are talking about and clinging to today. surely the most powerful had to come from felicia sanders. when i listened to her there, you realized that wait a minute this is not just someone that lost someone. she lost her son. she was in the room. i can't tell you the feeling you get with th

documents showed judge james gosnell jr.reprimand for making racist remarks to an african-american defendant during a hearing in 2003. we want to bring in hln legal analyst joey jackson and former attorney dean ogadala. dean, thank you for being here. joey, good to see you. dean, how do you react concerning the shooter's family? >> well, i think they were completely misplaced. and i can understand on some level if you really stretch the imagination as to why he's saying that, but this time the first hearing of this defendant, the focus should be on the grieving families and what they are going through. not the family of the shooter. so today they were totally inappropriate and really uncaring, to be honest with you. >> joey, i think a lot of people feel the same way dean does. and they wonder how a judge with this kind of past chose to preside over a bond hearing that is a potential hate crime case. >> sure, it's a great question. and we should also point out that following this he'll have no other interaction or contact wit
