mark. >> the third story. she lied twice. >> that's right. ou get the change in stories and there's the palm print right there and she tried to clean up afterwards and hid the gun, this was kind of -- even i could have, as a detective, figured this out, mark. >> you could have solved this, sean. you could have solved it the first day on the job. not only did she continually lie, but i believe that the detective that was interviewing her from the onset, from the first and the second story, already new, he allowed her to commit to more lies along the way. she bought the gun, she premeditated, she planned the trip, she got gas cans, she stabbed him, she takes the gun with her. she had three attempts at premeditation, three attempts to actually break. she shot him, she could have stopped. she stabbed him, she coof stabbed, and she cut his throat, she could have stopped. >> one of the things that fascinate me about how you view crime issues is your experience in interrogating people and analyzing their personality. you know, i still have a hard tim

and all the the lies. >> mark: as ana said his credibility is minimal.s is a legal technical and the public opinion it is what it is and it's not going to change. >> there are no jurors. just the judge. >> mark: that's certainly true. we don't text him like "american idol." i get it. it's like he's trying to win sympathy. >> there is a part of me that did forget that he's not guilty of kill two people in cold blood, and it's similar to jodi, but there is this feeble old man up on there for a second, i'm like aahh. you know. >> well, people quickly forget. we have very short attention spans. >> mark: it's happened again in the military. yes, the very people charged with protecting women from sexual assault in the military are guilty of sexual assault themselves. yet another one. we'll talk about it next.

joining me to discuss it, lis wiehl, and mark, former prosecutor, now defense attorney. d upgrade these charges to manslaughter or worse? >> they could actually upgrade them to murder. then you're looking at intent. from what we know, there was no intent to cause death. so that would be a second degree murder charge. you can't have premeditated murder without intent. i'm thinking also voluntary manslaughter, not involuntary manslaughter, but voluntary manslaughter, meaning he caused, he precipitated the actions that caused this man's death and could he or should have known that punch would lead to his death? yes. it's vous. aggravated assault is not enough here. >> megyn: what do you make of it, mark? in no way to justify this kid's, 17-year-old's behavior, but is it foreseeable? should he have known a punch in the head was likely to cause death? >> before i answer it, let me just say this, if i'm representing him and i have and i continue to represent 17, 16, 15-year-olds who do abhorrent things, the first thing i do on a case like this is i let him reach out to the fami

mark sanford. the man who skipped the state, lied about his whereabouts, ran off with another woman in 2009 setting fire to his life and political career. turns out temporarily. now he's headed to congress. he won last night's special election to replace republican congressman tim scott who is now a senator. sanford defeated the democrat elizabeth colbert bush, sister of comedy central's stephen colbert. >>> guilty of first-degree murder, the verdict in the phoenix trial of jodi arias. the event has become a spectacle, a tv series on cable all its own. a massive crowd cheered outside the courtroom when the verdict was read. almost five years ago her boyfriend travis alexander was found with 27 stab wounds, a gunshot wound, his throat slashed. so the first-degree murder verdict was not a surprise in this salacious case. now the penalty phase starts to decide on the death penalty. >>> still ahead for us tonight, doctors say millions of men have unnecessary surgery to treat prostate cancer. but tonight there is a new test to figure out if surgery is really necessary. >>> and later a new chapter perhap

[laughter] first of all, i want to thank you for your visits to connecticut in the wake of newtown. some day we're going to get you to earn connecticut but it means a lot to the people of my state. your testimony, union, on school safety, it was eloquent in terms of the fk that we talk about these issues, if kids don't feel safe the numbers with illness -- the numbers that came out a few days ago, this has to be a focus. i want to just spend a minute, i was out of the room for a second because i was talking to the head start director in connecticut who last monday had a staff meeting announcing six layoffs for teachers and this is driven by sequester. these are families who are going to lose head-start services. they have 120 kids in the program and they are going to the classroom slots next if we don't turn the poison off. again, looking at the budg

hicks will testify that top obama aids knowingly lied about the benghazi attacks in their early public statements. >> can you just say are greg hicks and markmpson credible people? are they not long standing career state department employees? are they not credible? >> again, i'm not going to assess one individual or another. these are some folks who have said they are going to come out and tell a story to congress and our message, let me finish, let me finish. >> do they still work here. >> our message is we have always encouraged state department employees who want to share their personal story to arb or congress to tell the truth, period. >> the house oversight committee will hear from hicks and thompson at 11:30 a.m. eastern time on wednesday. big stakes. shep? >> shepard: james rosen at the state department tonight. the federal aviation administration needs to do a better job overseeing the repair station where u.s. airlines send planes for repairs and maintenance. that's according to a report from the internal investigator of the department of transportation. it released a report that indicates the f.a.a. falls short on its inspections

mark with all due respect. i appreciate your institutional loyalty, the fact remains that the people at the highest level lied toongress on any number of occasions. that's all going to come out in these oversight hearings. in other words, you need a tloe thorough going house cleaning of the irs. you have to start at the top, go down bottom. you have to go into the middle. they're now saying 500 applications were delayed because of this. that's the latest counsel . it's not just political people. >> there are two or three things here. there is the processing of the application, themselves. that was done at one level. then there is the question of the communication of congress. clearly, the i.g. report indicates that that was badly bungled. inexcusably so. larry, you may remember this, it was quite controversial in the 2000 election cycle. we worked with charity, we got criticism for it. the same i.g. went in, took a look and said it was balanced. we had actually more complaints about conservative groups that we were looking at. remember, we were the bush administration, if you will. this can be done correctly. it

when you pile that up with all the lies, it was, i think, easy to find her guilty, frankly. because she took the stand. i gr we mark. there was no question this was going to be the result. because she took the stand and she had no choice because this was a complete, you know, prosecution slam dunk, she had no -- there is no reason not to testify. it wasn't going to get worse. she was going to be found guilty no matter what. but because she took the stand and lied to the jury, they, i think, came back with a vengeance. a jury can forgive somebody who lies to the police and takes the fifth amendment and then changes the story at some point. but lying to the jury to their faces and doing it in a way that so manipulative of their emotions, i think that was what really brought the hammer down and made them really hate her. she only had two things going for her, erin. and they weren'ted ofry. she had her looks. she doesn't look like charles manson am she looks cute. she doesn't look like a killer and she had porn. she turned the courtroom into a salacious series of stuff that didn't work and i don't think it was ever goi

comedian george lopez takes a humorous look at reaching the half century mark called "i'm not going to lie: and other liesheavy number. when i was growing up 50 was old, they looked older, and in my late 40s i realized i didn't want to turn 50, i had to turn 50 but i looked at my friends who already had turned 50 and they looked like people you asked permission to go out, they looked like old family members, people you put almost in homes, guys that i went to high school with. >> first thing you did when you turned 50? >> i had a party in las vegas, invited all the guys i grew up with, not only do they stay in the same room, one has suspenders and a belt, all bald, no offense, al, all bald on medicine, they are in by 7:00. it was very depressing. >> for you it's tough because the george lopez show is still in syndication so your hair is dark and you said you started to freak when you started seeing gray. >> when i started to see gray you run into the little kids and they're the most truthful people and this kid goes you're old and the worst part i went to my wax figure and nobody thought that i was the gu

mark thompson, former marine and senior official in the state department's counterterrorism bureau, hicks claims aides to president obama liedcks and their initial public statements and thompson will testify that secretary of state hillary clinton was trying to marginalize the counterterrorism bureau. but former counterterrorism chief, daniel benjamin, told fox news, quote, i ran the bureau then. and i can say now with certainty as the former coordinator for counterterrorism that this charge is simply untrue. at no time was the bureau sidelined or otherwise kept from carrying out its task. the state department claims it's encouraging the whistle blowers to testify about their reports and those are reports coming out tomorrow and to go forward with that, but they're facing stiff opposition, according to some. james rosen asked about this. >> can you just say, are greg hicks and mark thompson credible people? are they not long-standing career state department employees? are they credible? >> again, i'm not going to assess one individual or another. these are some folks who have said they're going to come out and tell a story t
