in new orleans on the phone and here with me, joey jackson and former prosecutor dan shore. jean, what exactly did the investigators find in his hotel room? >> well they found a lot of things. i'm right outside the courtroom. there's a short morning break and i may at any time have to go back in. this is a lengthy complex and we're learning a lot of new information. as far as what they found in his room, it involved everything from a lot of cash money, 47 $100 bills, adding up to over $47,000 in cash. they also found several books which they did not list in court. they found a mask for the face and neck. we learned today salt and pepper hair was attached to that mask. but i think the most important thing that we're learning today is the defense stood up saying that a prosecutor and a detective from los angeles drove to new orleans and the morning after robert durst was arrested,

joey jackson, thanks so much. i appreciate it. we're going to take a break. we'll be back with much more in the newsroom. so what about that stock? actually, knowing the kind of risk that you're comfortable with i'd steer clear. straight talk. multiplied by 13,000 financial advisors it's how edward jones makes sense of investing. no matter who you are, if you have type 2 diabetes, you know it can be a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine ... what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in ... and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose so

joey jackson and dan shorer are here. and listening for about 30 minutes as the governor said that he wants legislation on his desk by this week to fix whatever ails this bill. but mostly he said what ails the bill is me, the media, apparently we've grossly mischaracterized, we've been reckless in our reporting and we have smeared the bill. legally speaking, how do you unsmear gross mischaracterization? i'm a little confounded. >> there's a political answer. but i'll stay away from that and address the law. the devil is in the details of the bill. the fact is he keeps invoking that, it's modeled after the federal bill but it's much broader than the federal bill. so you can't really say that. he also says, well, barack obama when he was a senator in illinois, he voted for a measure that was just like this in illinois. but actually it was different. and not only was it different, but illinois protects sexual orientation as a protected class. so the bottom line is we can debate it all day and all night. but unless you amend

let's take to joey jackson. joey, here is the thing.e as well of the incident in question. shug knight. not this -- the car and the video that was outside when he ran over this person. $25 million joey. do you think that is fair? is that high for a case like this? what do you think? >> well good morning christie. when a person is charged with a murder you get what is called remanded. remanded means that there's no bail, so even the fact that there's $25 million you can look at this and say that it's accessive and violent of the amendment but at the same time and the matter there are some that would set bail and expect it to be high when there's a murder involved and murder allegation and leaving the scene when a person is injured and dead. remember the charges are serious. when ever a judge setting bail there's a number of criteria that they use. the nature of the offense, seriousness of the events and the prior criminal history if any in this case we know that there's a significant criminal history, and as a result of that the judge al

i may have more questions as i bring in joey jackson. some say durst has been lucky until now avoiding jail time despite the twists and turns that miguel was walking through. after his wife vanished he disguised himself as a deaf mute woman and that's when he fought with his neighbor morris black, ultimately dismembering him. durst jumped bond and then caught himself, got caught shoplifting at sandwich while he had hundreds of dollars in his pocket. he was acquitted of that killing. his attorneys did not want him to speak with the documentary makers of "the jinx." it's like he was looking into a crystal ball of sorts. here he is. >> they said about a zillion times, you can't help yourself. right now you're a free man 100%. you say something inadvertently and you'll find yourself charged in new york or charged in los angeles. and our interview was a big risk for you. why do you want to do an interview? >> okay. let's talk about this with legal analyst joey jackson and miguel marquez is still with us. where do we begin? let's begin with th

i'm also joined by pal callen and joey jackson. first to you paul callan.es this count when you wear a microphone voluntarily anforget to turn it off? >> there's no reasonable expectation of privacy in criminal law. that's a concept that has to do with civil law suing for money damages. in criminal law the police can't wire somebody up. they have to give you miranda warnings if they're going to take a statement from you. however if a civilian is tape recording you, as was the case here with hbo, that's admissible in court if it's relevant to the crime committed. i don't think expectation of privacy is going to keep this out of court. >> a 71-year-old man muttering to himself in the bathroom. i can't tell you how many times i have said, i could have just killed him for that. i don't mean it. >> right. >> well before we get to we don't mean it, let's get to the shouf whether it's going to see the light of day in a courtroom. >> you think differently? >> i think differently. first of all you have to look at chain of custody issue. where did the tape come from,

joining me now is criminal defense attorney and hln legal analyst joey jackson and author marcia gessenwrote a book titled "the brothers: the road to american tragedy." she was inside the court today. what was going on in there, what was it like? >> well the biggest surprise of what happened today was that the defense bauskcally said they're not going to try to prove that he is not guilt yu. in fact judy clark who came from california to represent sar enough here part of his large defense team said it is not a question of whether it was him. it was him. the question is really if he's a monster that the prosecution has painted him or was he led on by his brother. so they're trying to paint a portrait of the younger tsarnaev as someone who was very depressed, in danger of flunking out of school had been essentially abandoned by his parents who moved back to russia, left in the hands of the monstrous older brother and left alone with him >> how was tsarnaev in court? what was his demeanor like? >> he was starkly indifferent. he was fidgeting in the beginning. we've seen tsarnaev for the la

i want to bring in joey jackson now, hln legal analyst and criminal defense attorney. welcome.gh this law to find out why it's so confusing to many people. here's the key part of the law that is kind of vague. it says "a governmental entity may not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability." what does that mean? >> that's a great question which is why there's an underlying concern. let's talk about the general then go into the specific. in general concerns, that's politics above my pay grade but i think there's a concern that of course, this state attempted to ban gay marriage was unsuccessful at that so there's an inherent distrust in passing this legislation. that's the one general thing we have to talk about. the second thing, carol, is that sexual orientation as a protected class is not a protected class in this state. so, for example, when the governor came out and said barack obama, he voted on this issue and he voted the same way on the reformation in illinois, that's true. but illinois has a prot

now, cnn defense attorney joey jackson.pped the bounds, and was this protected speech? >> good morning victor. depends on whose side that you're on. now the attorney said that he is not suing yet but has not ruled out the possibility. in the event that they move forbard they would rely on it and say listen we have a lot of disforce in the society and even discourse and conversation that's limited like the hate speech is protected by the constitution, and how dare you no matter how disspeckable, how dare you throw the students off campus. now, flip it around. here is the president's side and you just showed title 6. what does that say? prohibit discrimination under the law as it relates to any activities that federal funding applies to, and so in is one of those things that it applies to. not act would be to accept the conduct. if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. we had to do it. not only that but the school has a code and that says if there's any abuse that causes intimidation or humiliation, the

hln legal analyst joey jackson and joey cevallos.hat makes this country great is free speech and what makes us show or awfulness is free spech. ult na speech. what can be done about this? >> what should be done really. first you saw the students marching, protesting, they're exercising that cherished free speech right to make a demand. and that demand is to suppress someone else's free speech. is a word like this free speech? the university should be not too hasty in responding because to be fighting words the words has to be directed at the person. there is no free speech -- i'm sorry. there's no prosecutable speech if you're sitting in your dorm room and you said the nastiest of words. the question will be was this a fighting word in that it was directed at a particular person. but the thing is, do we really need to university to get involved in the first amendment has its own built in penal code. it's called being held up to ridicule. these people, whoever said these words, and i'm sure we'll find out who they are, are going to be

. >>> tonight, we have cnn legal analyst and we have joey jackson, hln legal analyst. both are criminal defense attorneys. this is the question does the university have the right to do this. are they on solid legal ground here? >> when it comes to the two expelled students that's one. can they kick the fraternity off campus? i think there's an argument to be made that students have a property interest in their education and corporates have interpreted that to mean they also have a property right in where they live. by on campus i mean is it part of the university. have we kicked the students out of their dorm. if so they may have a property interest and may be entights led to due process. that mean a hearing. many didn't get that hearing. they were kicked off campus. the attorney they hired now may pursue that avenue that they had some due process right to hearing before being tossed off campus. no video surfaced of the majority of those students singing any racist chant. >> they will not per vail. >> you think the university is on really sound footing here? >> i do. i

feyerick who's live at the courthouse in boston right now and with us as well, hln legal analyst joey jackson, if we could just begin with you, get me up to speed on today. it's great that you can come out of the courtroom. we don't have cameras in there. it's a federal court proceeding. how are the jurors reacting to what they're hearing today? >> reporter: it's very interesting. the way the jury reacted to that video you just showed, they saw a man who apparently didn't care what was going on. he was more interested in the milk he was buying. today they saw a note he scrawled in the boat where he was hiding. that text was read by one of the people who found it. it was covered with bullet. there were bullet holes that marked it. he was telling us his brother got into paradise, according to the note. and he said, god has a plan for each of us and perhaps the plan for him was to stay behind to shed some light. he's quoting saying that, you're fighting me who looks into the barrel of a gun and sees heaven, how can you compete with that? very strong testimony supporting the motive, the reason wh

, we have cnn commentator mel robbins, we have hln legal analyst and criminal defense attorney joey jackson joey. yesterday the jury heard from steven silva. this was someone who was a very close friend of tsarnaev. he's actually in prison on drug and weapons charges. he is cooperating with prosecutors. what did jurors do you think -- how did they look at the testimony he gave? >> well in evaluating that obviously he testified in beige prison garb. you could look at that and say as skeptical minds might that you have an incentive to lie. they might say that in light of the fact that he has a plea agreement with the government for leniency. to the extent that he testifies truthfully he will get leniency on his sentence. at the same time you can make the argument that birds of a feather block together. he's a criminal. he has some intimate knowledge as to the defendant in this case. they grew up together. they went to high school together. who better to know what that defendant was thinking what was on his mind and the type of person he was than the individual who grew up with him. so you kno

talk more about the situation in ferguson with hln legal analyst and criminal defense attorney joey jackson. we're joined by cedrick alexander, chief of police for dekalb county in georgia. joey let me start with you on this. so williams the alleged shooter, says he wasn't aiming for the officers. this was all about a dispute he had with other protesters. what's your reaction to that? >> well what happens is that's a critical point. it goes to motive, randi. that's what we want to find out. the prosecution wants to know what was his motivation? it's far different in the event that you discharge a firearm and you do so recklessly it's a crime. no question. the reality though is it could be a substantially higher crime in the event he meant to fire at those officers and how you ask? first degree is what he's charged with in terms of assault. if you knowingly cause serious physical injury to someone by discharging that firearm, that's punishable up to life. in the alternative, if you do it recklessly you consciously disregard the risk that your behavior could result such as firing a shot in th

so the interesting thing is, joey jackson, begin with you, there was early talk of a criminal investigation sort of manslaughter charges. to me, originally, i thought wh what' the point, the killer himself is dead. there could be something else afoot. >> there could be. if you're acting within the scope of their employment and doing something that benefits the company, corporations, remember, can be considered people within the eyes of the law. as a result of that, you might look to impute any type of criminal liability upon the corporation itself. we don't know the extent of it. we don't know whether the officials will do that. but in agency law, your acts could be imputed to the corporation. >> in france, there is the possibility for corporate manslaughter charges to be brought against the airline. that's why we heard about it from the french prosecutor. yes, corporate responsibility. i remind you, it's just come to me of course. it was eventually thrown out on appeal. but originally continental airlines was convicted in the case of concord in the concord crash in the initial criminal inv

now prosecutor joey jackson is going to step in. >> here's the other issue.it's not only damage to property. it's are you driving while you're alcohol induced. the irn becomes even though they left and there wouldn't be any tox clolg result, they do this thing called a breathalyzer. didn't happen here. there's another way you can do it under the general impairment statute. she has watery eyes and when she walked, she was unsteady in her gait. you look drunk even though i don't have the scientific result. >> because everything you just said is actually true. >> not at all. >> problem right now -- >> sober -- >> it's miraculously what every police officer puts in his report. >> i actually am an dayquil right now. i can see somebody saying, you look a little off. guys, thank you. i appreciate it. we're going top continue to follow that story and find out what happens to these two feds. >>> up next, an mit student came face to face with tar nigh yef. riveting testimony at the boston bombing trial next. try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are

along with me also, hln legal analyst joey jackson and cnn legal analyst danny cevallos. mr., if i can ask you right off the bat, these officers -- this has been investigated. these officers are back on the job. it's very hard to know the entire picture by seeing that one body cam perspective. but from what you've seen, did you see anything untowards on the part of the officers in this response? >> you know, when we really take a look at the video, like you've mentioned, it's a very small snapshot in time. multiple things to consider. the first thing is the objective reasonableness of the use of deadly force, whether they perceived an actual threat to their lives or the life of the other individual involved. and you have to consider the training and things that go into dealing with someone who has mental health issues. the officers have to be able to articulate the fear for their lives and the safety maybe even of the young man's mother. but we also have to remember our interactions and how they're going to feed into an event. when you're dealing with somebody that has mental

i'm also joined live by danny cevallos and joey jackson. deb, i want to begin with you. it is one thing to see some of these things on television. as i just mentioned to our viewers, they're edited and they're blurred. it is quite another to be an average member of the community who gets your jury summons and has to sit through material like that. how are things in court? what are these jurors going through? > reporter: it's incredible. they're going through what every single person in that court is going through. they are listening to graphic detail of the injuries that all these people suffered and as horrifying as the images are, to listen to the people and what they went through after this bombing is even more painful. people are bowing their heads, they're weeping openly. we're talking seasoned reporters, seasoned law enforcement. the jury, several of them are sort of wiping tears from their face. it clearly resonates with them. not just the testimony but the physical appearance of some of these witnesses as well. a lot of them have lost one if not two legs. jeff ba

cue the lawyers, danny cevallos and joey jackson.efore i even get to that, because that was what was burning a hole in my show before i got to air. and then dick deguerin went on tv in a live news conference moments ago and said the words that he's going to contest the arrest warrant. while he's cooling his heels in a jail in louisiana, dick deguerin is going to contest the arrest warrant in los angeles saying it's based on tv ratings, not based on fact. where does he get off saying this? >> the reality is it's a defense attorney's job to contest everything and warrants have to be predicated upon probable cause. you go to a judge, you give that judge sufficient information to swear out a warrant. what is the information? it better be, according to their lawyers, something other than a letter which experts can agree or disagree is in fact durst's. and it better be better than some ramblings on a -- >> having your taillight out is probable cause. saying "i killed someone" or at least killed them all, you don't call that the most probab

for the legal view, i want to bring in joey jackson, fred tissi and midwin charles.he university of oklahoma is funded by the public, us. aren't the public rules, you can say anything as vile as you want but you can't get fired for it or can you extend it to expelled? >> you can extend it to expelled and i do believe the university acted responsibly and appropriately and legally. here's why. first of all, privilege, not a right to attend the university. you have no right. they admit you. when they admit you, you are bound by the student rules of conduct. that rule of conduct balances your private right to act as you wish. that thing we call the constitution, of course, we have free speech. but that free speech is limited. and remember, there's something called the tinker test, 1969 supreme court decision. and that decision says as a public school, in the event that something occurs by manner of speech which impairs or otherwise affects higher education or education in general, the university can act. they did that here. i think they're protected. >> so let me read th

i want to bring in paul callan and hln legal analyst joey jackson to talk about this.be aware of is that the city had to respond. it was being sued. you have to file an answer. had they any other option, paul? >> i think what people have to understand is that this allegation that the child was acting improperly or negligently, it's horrible for the family that's suing to hear, you know, he's shot down by the police and they're blaming the kid? what could be worse than? but in lawsuits you generally allege that the other party was also negligent or acted improperly. so there's nothing out of the ordinary in terms of this in what we see in court every day. >> at the same time, joey, the city is also dealing with an investigation that's ongoing by the county. the county is looking into this. this could be a major criminal event. >> what we're speaking of is the officer's actions and whether or not they're indictable. should he be charged with criminality stemming from te vents of that day. there's a lot to unpack here, regarding the initial 911 call, the officer not being

joey jackson, thank you. valencia, thank you. >>> a suspect in a string of mesa, arizona, shootings yesterday is a convicted felon who was out on probation. there he is. feast your eyes ryan elliot being questioned now in the shootings which killed one man and wounded five others. and as they look for the motives, they may have actually been printed on his face. >>> coming up also, a mentally armed man arm would a screw driver shot dead by police. was it unavoidable? a closer look at police policy and practice and how the officers handled a tough situation. we'll also hear from the victim's brother. across america people, like basketball hall of famer dominique wilkins, are taking charge ...with non-insulin of their tvictoza.abetes... for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills, and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the nee

former prosecutor and joey jackson, hln legal analyst.r being with us. paul i think this trial started off with a notable really barrage, a parade of witnesses, people who suffered at these bombings. the graphic images this carnage, these awful pictures of what happened here. what effect do you think that had? >> it's going to have an enormous effect. this case has been moving very very quickly as we know but when you talk about the death penalty, even people who are conscientiously opposed to the death penalty often have one exception. in a case that involves a family member a friend or carnage of this extent and that's what prosecutors are showing here. this is a special case. it's a poster child for the death penalty. massachusetts is a liberal place. they generally oppose the death penalty up there but prosecutors are making a persuasive case. >> i think the images are extraordinary even for the people that were there at the time. >> joey we've been talking about key pieces of evidence and the boat keeps coming up. the boat and the me

let's bring in hln legal analyst joey jackson.ternoon. okay. unpacking this big story, first things first. on the issue of administrative action that the school can take that's clear. there's a student code that addresses the desemination of material like this without consent of those who you are photographing. certainly, the school and event they are able to identify the people who did this, and presumably they will there is certainly, you know software to restore different types of computers. the administrative side of it is disciplined under the code. it's dicey moving into the area of criminal charges. pennsylvania is one of 16 states that does specifically have a law dealing with the issue of posting photos like this but here is the problem. that law is very limited in the following respect. it's a law really that deals with the issue of revenge porn that is you're in a relationship and they are after because you possess material you know that may not be flattering of your -- the person you dated before you post that. if you

we have lieutenant general and legal analyst joey jackson. good to have both of you.t with you. first we have to talk about the difference in bergdahl being awall and being a deserter. how whould that impact the sentence? >> well i would suggest this is an interesting defense on the part of the defense lawyer because over the last several months as you know there have been multiple interviews and hundreds of interviews of other people that are all part of this case. they tend to have a different picture. if this is sergeant bergdahls story, it will play out. there seems to be overwhelming evidence that he left the forward operating base for other reasons than just reporting some miss carriage of justice. even if that was the case, there are other things than leaving the weapon and equipment and walking off. you can contact the inspector general, you can write letter toss the chain of command. this is an interesting defense. >> as the general just suggested that we spoke with so many of the fellow service men and said that this was desertion. if the defense is that i w

joey jackson is also here hln legal analyst. this story kept paul up last night watching it. all, that audio, we hear him whispering under his breath on a hot mike he has a reasonable expectation of privacy privacy, i understand. >> we can argue over this point, but i believe it could be ruled inadmissible inadmissible. you have an expectation of privacy in the bathroom. he makes the statement as he excuses himself to go to the bathroom with the microphone still a. i think it's problematic. the second issue if we're basing the conviction on a -- there needs to be other evidence. >> there's a lot of other evidence in that people disappeared suspiciously his actions were suspicious. if you watch the series you'll see how that -- >> it twists and turns, but i think it's totally admissible. people have a misconception you need miranda warnings in order for a contess fession to acceptable. that's only the cops. if you're idiotic enough to speak with a mike on and say i killed them all, tough luck that is going into evidence. >> final point on this you can make the argument they wer

want to bring hope in joey jackson and danny savalis what do you see in the video?the most? >> the most important thing is going to be whether or not there was a reach for the firearm. once that happens police officers are trained that once it gets to that point deadly force is authorized. the other thing that they're going to consider too, is something you don't see in the tape which is what this suspect is suspected of doing. an armed robbery or other dangerous felony. >> we don't know that. >> right. we don't know that yet. that could amp it up for the police officers if they're aware that they may be dealing with somebody with a weapon. >> we don't foe what predicated this altercation. we do know police were responding to a robbery call this was a suspect and then this all happened. what do you see that concerns you? shoo the big concern surrounds the process which biwhich they get to justice here. certainly there will be a full and fair investigation, don't want to jump to any conclusions, any video could be spun any number of ways. we know the lapd district at

let's bring in darren cav new yorky and also here in new york hln legal analyst joey jackson.e granted bail? >> i think the chances are slim and none and slim as they like to say in texas has left town even though in los angeles the crime of murder does allow somebody to be bailable. it's a $1 million scheduled bail but that goes out the window when you are charged with murder with special circumstances. that's a crime that is not bailable and so even though he's got this pending case in new orleans now with the drugs and being a felon in possession of a firearm which, by the way, is subject to attack apparently because according to his lawyers he doesn't have any of the predicate felonies in louisiana. when all of that smoke is cleared away ultimately he's facing the special circumstances murder case out in los angeles, not a bailable offense. he's going to be fighting that from behind bars. >> his attorney also joey has said look they're trying to pin anything on him and they're desperate opening up these cold cases and saying he has this medical condition. >> right. >> i ju
