when it comes time to litigate this case i'll litigate it. the case will be litigated in court and when it comes to that point i will argue. >> benjamin crump i have heard plenty of lawyers in that situation and they always say if it comes to court, if it comes to court, it seems as though mr. zimmerman's lawyer has resigned himself to the idea that this is going to end up in a courtroom. >> mr. o'donnell, i think it is one of those situations, thanks to really the media and shows like you, the evidence has been coming out slowly but surely. we didn't get any answers from the police department or the state attorney's office. we have gotten it watching your program and people who said we just want the truth to come out. it is one of those situations. you look at the videotape and hear the 911 tapes, after you look at the phone logs from trayvon's phone records, after you have the witnesses coming forth, it's just one piece of evidence after another to show at least that this is a matter that should be decided in a courtroom, not by police depa

tremendous delay sometimes of years of litigation, we think that's a good deal for investors for us to get that money back to them much more quickly. i realize it leaves people -- we will litigate. we do litigate many cases. but where we can get in settlement what we would get after years at a trial, we think it's a good deal. >> but if part of your mission is to try to make sure what happened that put us into this hole we're in right now doesn't happen again. people tend to have short memories. so we're all now during an leather cycle trying to figure out how we got into this mess and claiming certain residents at the white house having caused it all. but i remember unless i'm totally incorrect that we got into this this mess when a lot of things happened in the financial industry that had ramifications and dominoed throughout the economy. if no one is going to be found guilty of anything, what's to stop them from doing it again and again knowing all that's going to happen is to repay what they took. if there's something missing there that doesn't happen to a person down the street from me in the bronx. they usually have to pay more than that

litigate. right? that's what worries me. that's a process failure. it's the moment when there's secrecy in the political process. the political process isn't working and you don't even have the courts, right, as a process fa fallback. across the board, whether it's criminal issues and exoneration or conviction, security issues and so forth, it's the insistence that the courts have -- are a co-equal branch of government and continue to have an essential role to play. >> so, just to -- i promise to be quick i know we have questions from the students. one is just the scale of this database is going to be so large, we're quite sure we're going to -- it's going to be as foolproof as possible in terms of just the level of dna samples that will be collected, stored, retained and analyzed. i mean, it's an open question about -- >> google do will it. >> second, the idea of dna being collected byfingerprints. once dna, you can unlock your entire health history. your genetic history. with those cotton swabs and stored properly by police lab, you can have all sorts o

it. when we litigated the case was litigated it as a fundamental right to marriage, and equal protectionim. what the ninth circuit did was make a relatively narrow decision, but also talked about all of the justifications that california had offered for its active discrimination against people on the basis of marriage. and essentially systematically found every single one of those justifications without any rational or reasonable basis. so while the decision was focus somewhat narrowly on a couple of supreme court opinions, happened to have been written by judge justice anthony kennedy, that in no way we believe undermines the extensive factual only record that was compiled in the district court and was formed the basis for the district court's 134 page opinions. what will happen from the ninth circuit, we don't know. right now there's a petition for every hearing pending. it's been sitting there for about six weeks. take 13 of the 25 active judges in the ninth circuit to grant rehearing on bond. some people think will happen. some people and it will not happen. in either event i suspect

and i think with respect to texas voting rights and litigation, it's really the whole story when we meet section five. it gets a little complicated but timing sometimes that texas became covered in 1975 with an objection of one or more statewide reducer plan and everything since 1970. section five remained one of our most important roles to prevent termination and i don't think the supreme court this point what the majority in the supreme court can take that away from us because it is so vital and so important in with the 2006 decision, files the mark of intentional determination in the last round and i think we've got a really good case unintentional discrimination as well. so, i nodded doom and gloom person on section five. i mean, i walked out of the argument quite sure that we were not going to have the constitutionality taken away from us. i believe that the supreme court will not take that away from us. have things become a lot more murky than the decisions when you get into a situation where you have defending primaries and the need for local courts to draw planned? yes, things ar

it's already been a subject of a civil litigation. it's shown in open court. but the defense asserts it might actually call andrew young back to ask him a number of questions about it, how he got it, whether he stole the tape, or whether he was trying to sell the tape for money and so on. all this as the wife of andrew young was on the stand today asserting that john edwards from the very beginning was trying to save his presidential campaign. it's been years, but you can still see the anger and pain in sherry young, whose husband john young was john edwards fixer. mrs. young explained publicly what she was told when she was told edwards allegedly wanted her husband to take a false claim that he fathered a child with edwards mistress reyal hunter. the first thing in my mind was how edwards could ask one more thing of us. at first she said absolutely not. but right before the iowa caucuses, she said she sat in on a conference, mid-december 2007, between edwards, and rielle's -- this is it, this is our time, over and over about the campaign.
