>> guest: from many different sources, from local newspaper accounts in texas, for example the "houston chronicle" wrote about that case extensively, and mostly from government documents themselves. after resendiz was caught and after so many weaknesses in the system were exposed, the inspector general came out with a very comprehensive narrative and expose of what happened and they talked about many of these victims and the gruesome details of how resendiz killed them. what i did with claudia benton and several of the other victims was really try to put a face on the people who were lost. with claudia benton, it was a terrible, terrible sad tragedy because she was such a promising researcher. she specialized in pediatric neurology issues and she researched this rare genetic disorder among children called, i believe it's pronounced englemann syndrome. she was making huge breakthroughs in that. she was also the mother of young twins and a loving wife and, you know, you square the details of how brutal the murder was with the incompetence of the ins and it just, it really makes my blood b

even if he is cleared of a civil lawsuit, his angry father speaking for the first time telling a local newspaperork "apparently 20 stuart was the only one driving after who did not see him." good to have you back on our program today. we're trying to sort out all of the facts, what we know and what we don't know. the sheriff said this. initial findings showed nothing indicates any sort of criminal intent in the crash. what have you learned? >> i took a look at the statutes at play here. i can tell you what he is looking for is the video i saw that is out there right now is from the side of the track and you can see if stewart's car has ability to move to the left to get away from word or if it drifts to the right perhaps to scare him, things like that. clearly ward put himself in great risk going on the track. a civil lawsuit that would involve negligence on his part if they decide to bring a civil lawsuit. criminally what they will look at is was their reckless behavior, could he have moved away, move toward to scare him, if they are revealed could lead to a manslaughter charge. i don't know wh

more aspects that are quite interesting -- he spoke to a local free weekly newspaper.m just curious why he did not speak to a magazine and ask for money. the other aspect that is quite interesting, and i think marcus will definitely have more say about this than i do -- he is seeking election for the right wing party. his father quite notoriously socialist. >> their economic policies, for instance, are quite far away from the policies of the socialist party. >> so, like father, not like sun in this case. and he did say that he had to read locks when he was in school, but that is about as left-wing as he has ever been -- he had dreadlocks when he was in school. >> now it's time for a look at the business news. first to do industry. >> very happy to be guest starring in james' segment. the abu dhabi-based carrier has agreed to inject 560 million euros into era tally a as part of a plan to save the troubled italian brand, which had been flooded with bankruptcy. the deal may rile european competitors, some of whom have called for the european commission to step in to stop
