lisa bloom.tually happened should mackenzie have made a motion to keep bijou away from john? >> absolutely, the problem mackenzie phillips has she is a lifelong drug addict, cocaine and heroin being shot in her arms on a dale by basis for many, many years. that doesn't mean her story is untrue. in my view it probably is true. i represented a woman very much like her. had a consensual adult relationship with her father. it's absolutely devastating but does happen. the way she has gone about this is all wrong. she's done it by trying to sell a book. that means everybody is suspicious of her motives. she could have come out for example, come out and be the national spokesperson for the rape survivor network. and also -- before your father died. this is suspicious in a lot of people's minds and rightly so. >> dale archer, it's so troubling because there's no way for us to verify and she waited until after her father died, even though he got sober before he died. this is destroying the family. mill sh

speaking of yen volatility, lisa is rejoining us. hi, lisa. >> hello there. i want whatever you're having in your coffee, louislouisa. thank you very much. we had investors over here looking at all of the m&a acquisitions, all the of the activity happening in the united states and saying, hey, i guess companies are willing to spend billions of dollars in acquisitions and invest that kind of money. perhaps i should take this money off the sidelines and invest it. the weak japanese yen, as louisa was referring to with the finance minister in that company coming out and saying, i don't support competitive valuations. the yen weakened against the dollar. the s&p/asx 200 at the bottom of your screen, that market closing at a year high, 4,007. quickly taking a look at the pride of crude today, they're a bit below right now. we had gains yesterday, but remember, there's eia data coming out this weekend that's expected to show a build in supplies. it's not quite the summer driving season when things are busy, not quite into the winter heating season where things slow

lisa, just listening to the old interview. he's almost justifying his actions. has he ever said i'm sorry for what he did? >> i've looked at this case closely. i have not find any evidence he's shown remorse. he smirks about liking younger women. what did he do after he fled? he went to europe and had a romantic relationship with a 15-year-old. what did he do that irritated the judge before sentence iing this case before going to europe? he's photographed in a german beer hall surrounded by young women. that's what annoyed the judge. what was the terrible sentence? a slightly harder slap on the wrist than the 42 days he already got. he might have gotten as much as 90 days, maybe a couple months. give me a break. i agree completely. there's too many justifications for his behavior. the celebrities are lining up to s support him. the rich and powerful. thank goodness the rest of us understand differently. >> let's get it clear here on the plea bargain. he said he was going to get 50 years. >> that's ridiculous. >> you're saying 90 days top. >> that's ridiculous. >

lisa, let me stay with you on this one.how would others look at this and say that is the way we need to go? >> what i think we need is a change in the law. vermont has proposed an exception to child porn laws for underage kids taking pictures of themselves sending to each other, not intended for commercial gains. some have said my hands are tied. that is felony child porn and i don't have any other options. this judge in the state of ohio found another option and good for him. in other states they could find other options. maybe we should change the law to say children are not child pornographers. >> we want to focus on real child pornographers. judge, were people in your ear saying throw the book at them? were there voices trying to tell you what to do or was there an even keeled approach? >> i think it was a pretty even keeled approach. i didn't hear any noise from any sector we needed to throw the book at these kids. and, you know, the prosecutor didn't charge these kids with felonies and could have. she charged them wit

>> well, i'm sure, lisa bloom, they've interviewed his fiancee. she worked at the lab along with his brother-in-law and sister. >> i'm sure they have tried to. she may have refused to cooperate. remember, the people that we're seeing on tv are the people who have agreed to give media interviews. that's not the same group that have talked to the police. she may very well have given a police interview. she certainly has not spoken to the media yet. i'm sure all the morning show bookers are circling her house trying to get that interview with her. so far she's kept her mouth shut. >> another huge development, wtic reporting today cops are interrogating another lab employee in annie le's murder. here's what police had to say when questioned yesterday about other possible suspects. >> are you saying it's possible there could be more? >> you never know where the evidence will take you. i don't have any reason to believe that, but as i told you before, we will not -- we don't have tunnel vision here. >> all right. and we just mentioned raymond clark's fi

lisa bloom. if this actually happened, should mackenzie have made a motion to keep bijou away from john? but bijou said she was raised by a guy who was like mr. mom and was a loving and supportive father. >> absolutely. the problem mackenzie phillips has is she is a lifelong drug addict, a serious addict. i'm talking about cocaine and heroin being shot up into her arm on a daily basis for many, many years. that doesn't mean her story is untrue. in my view it probably is true. i represented a woman very much like mackenzie phillips when i represented sex al bus survivors for many years who had had a con sensual adult relationship with her father. it's absolutely devastating. it does happen. but the way mackenzie phillips has gone about this is all wrong because she's done it by trying to sell a book. that means everybody is suspicious of her motives. she could have come out for example, i would have advised her come out and be the national spokesperson for the rape survivor network. do something u

lisa bloom, what could that video show us? >> well, it could show the erratic behavior and that's such a key issue in this case. by the way, jane, hats off to you for covering this story. we in the media cover way too many missing white women stories and not enough of people of color. i'm so glad you're covering this important story. i was actually at that restaurant a few days ago. it's a beautiful restaurant. i met the owner, jeffrey, he's a good guy. if he wants to show that videotape, i'm sure it will demonstrate what he just told you, that she was erratic, going around to different tables, acting bizarrely. it's probably only video, not audio, so we won't be able to hear what she's saying but another key question is, did she look at joffrey's with that wild hair the same way she looked in that mug shot or did that happen in between the arrest. so i think that video is going to be very important. >> let me say this, having lived in l.a. for 18 years, a lot of people walk around with that wild hair. it means absolutely noth

we ignored him. >> lisa bloom.g across the pond as it were. >> well at least she was 18 in that allegation, so he wasn't proposing anything that was illegal although it's disgusting if he knew her since she was a little girl. this is america, people are entitled to respond to allegations that smear their reputation for all of history. this man passed away in 2001. like i said, i tend to believe her, but i'm really offended at the way she has gone about this waiting many years after her father was gone to disclose it. the so-called witnesses who support her side are only people who she told. they didn't see anything, hear anything, doesn't seem to be any evidence. she's a wealthy woman. comes from a wealthy family. i assume she has a lot of money. she's been working -- why does she do this by way of selling a book? >> wait a second. i don't know how wealthy she is. maybe there's a jealousy factor here because the mama and papa's fortune hasn't descended on her. >> that does not excuse it. >> lisa did point out, by c

"the time of my life". that was in "dirty dancing". >> oh, barbara. can you -- did he think he was going to beat it? did he think he was going to beat the odds? >> he thought that he had lived longer than people had thought he would. he had beaten the odds by ten months he said. remember he had done a television series, he did 13 eks of a show called "the beast". he told me he'd lie on the floor in agony on the bathroom. nobody knew that his whole inside was on fire and he'd go out on the set. he said maybe i'll make it for five years, but he loved his ranch, rode his horses. he was interested in forestry that's what he wanted his legacy to be. you know, more even than the acting. so he -- if there is a
