let's bring in our senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin.eff, when the constitution was written no one ever imagined gps technology. but those words in the constitution have to be applied today and the justices did it in this decision? >> absolutely. unreasonable searches and seizures was the term they used in the 18th century and now they had to figure out what that means for gps. interestingly, unanimously the court agreed you needed a warrant but the court split 5-4 about what the the reasons were. justice scalia said, this is like trespassing. sticking this gps on the car is like trespassing on someone's property. justice ilito said we all have a reasonable expectation of privacy in our cars and in order to honor that reasonable expectation of privacy, you need to get a warrant. and so that's the division. we can be sure that they'll be returning to this subject again. >> did you just say that two of the conservative justices disagreed on this reasoning? >> yes. very unusual in that respect. justice scalia was with the other conservative

jeffrey toobin joins us from new york. what is a parent's responsibility when their child is sick? >> it's an awful tragedy. the legal term for parent is guardian. and you have to guard your children. you have a legal obligation to take care of them. this is not a friend. it's not a sibling. a parent is a guardian and even when there are difficulties like this, doing nothing in the face of a serious illness is a crime for a parent and we see it often in situations where religions counsel people not to bring kids to doctors and that's a crime, too. parents are legally obligated to take care of their kids. >> here's my question, though. it's mostly a judgment call when kids are sick, kids often complain about pains or whatever and it's a judgment call for a parent to decide when something is serious or not. we have to judge whether they have a cold, a flu, but kids complain a lot. what is criminal and what is not? >> well, i think the facts here suggest that this was not a close call. obviously parents have wide, wide discretion in deciding when to bring their kids to the doctor. the

. >> joining me is a forensic psychiatrist, and cnn legal analyst, jeffrey toobin. >> this motion thatommitted a crime of passion are unlikely to commit another crime, he says that's what the experts say. is that true? >> no. absolutely not. passion basically is equivalent too rage. if someone is rageful, they will commit a homicide. the real question has to do with looking at saying that any who commits a crime of passion will never do it again. doesn't think about the individual person. you talked about these people at the governor's mansion being so kind and nice and on their best behavior. as the ex-inmate said, it's because they're watching us. they are our key to getting out of here or staying in here. so that's why we behave. but on the outside, nobody's watching these people. nobody's going to say that, oh, gee, you're out. you committed a crime of passion, you'll never do it again. absolutely not. the risk is still there. >> it also implies any time you get passionate or you're angry or you're in love, that you have a problem with dealing with your emotions, with your passions

also senior analyst jeffrey toobin.ou actually introduced legislation back a couple years ago that would change the way pardons happen in the state of mississippi. >> that's right, anderson. in 2008 when the governor commuting the sentence of mr. graham who killed adrian in cold blood while she was stopped at a stop light in mississippi, we decided to change the way pardons are granted. but ever so slightly really. we just wanted to make sure that the victims of the crime and the family members of the victims and the law enforcement personnel who worked so hard to put these folks behind bars had an opportunity to be heard prior to the pardon being granted. and that -- so i've tried to pass a bill that would allow for that here. and for results of the hearing to be communicated to the governor prior to the granted of a pardon, and i was unsuccessful in doing that. >> how have your constituents reacted to the news of the recent pardons? >> not only my constituents but everybody i come in contact with on a daily basis, ins

first, i want to bring in jeffrey toobin. you and i have talked about this. this whole crime is a passion notion. what do you make of this? >> it's rooted in the idea a wife is a husband's property. in the old days, you would never prosecute a husband for raping a wife, never prosecute a husband for assaulting a wife. those crimes were considered private family matters. one of the ways the legal system has improved in recent years, we take those crimes seriously again. the idea that a perpetrator of a domestic violence homicide is somehow better or less dangerous than someone that kills someone in a convenience store is false. >> this guy ozment found in a hotel room in wyoming and not happy to have been served because he tried to escape in his girlfriend's car. this is a civil case. >> he probably could safely ignore that piece of paper. the attorney general is going to court in mississippi, and he's trying to get an order that says these pardons are invalid because of the unusual provision in the mississippi constitution that says you have to publish notice

: but a case like this may be more complicated than meets the eyes, says cnn's legal analyst, jeffrey toobin operated with reasonable care and that has to apply when the bus is stopped as well as when the bus is moving. >> reporter: the champion's attorney also announce they plan to sue famu for wrongful death and negligence. but in this case they will have to wait for six months after putting the school on notice because under federal law, universities are protected from being sued under sovereign immunity. to own and operate a fleet of buses like this, fabulous coachlines maintains a high insurance limit. and ray land believes that is the reason his business is being targeted. he believes the lawsuit is misguided. >> i understand their mission is to end hazing. suing my company is not going to end hazing. it's not going to do anything to affect hazing. >> reporter: george hchl owell, cnn, atlanta. >>> it's a faceless group of hackers that have attacked everyone from world banks to governments. we're going to take you behind the masks of anonymous. >>> we have a story out of mississippi, th

. >> it's rare to have these pardons overturned as jeffrey toobin has reported. >> very scary. >> thankou. >>> every morning we like to get you an early start we like to call it by getting you up to speed on news developing now and will become big by tonight. a judge in peru will held joran van der sloot how many years he can expect to spend behind bars and spleeded guilty to killing stephanie flores. van der sloot was a suss independent in natalee holloway's killing. flores found something related to the case on joran's computer it is expected. >>> a federal court will hear perry's challenge to get his name on virginia's primary ball ballot. right now, only mitt romney and ron paul are on the ballot. >>> and this is great video. iphone riots in china. apple saying this morning it's going to stop selling the iphone 4s in china because it's just gotten way too dangerous. the company had to close the beijing store after they egged the place. scalpers reportedly got more than a thousand people standing in line for them so that they could then sell the phones on the black market. they did t
