i understand where marty is coming from. i think we have to make sure when we're treating this as a misdemeanor we do have a tool to ensure that people who need treatment are going to be afforded the opportunity and are going to have treatment. i also agree with tal, not necessarily everybody that uses drugs is an addict, and not necessarily everybody who uses drugs needs to have treatment. but having said that, people that we often come in contact with will be people who have a severe drug abuse problem and generally they also have a mental health issue problem, there are often housing problems, employment, many other problems, and that's the population we deal with often. and i think that figuring a way to have an intervention so that services are available for those that need it i think is really important. i don't necessarily agree a felony conviction is the vehicle to do so, but i think we have to make sure that as we lower the sanctions here, that we do have the tools and that we have the ability to distinguish between

now, when marty said before about people have no incentive to go into drug treatment, you know, if i could, it reminded me of the comedian, when you said all you have is humor, a hammer and everything looks like a nail, i think the perspective for prosecutors is when all you have is a criminal sanction, everything looks like a nail. and the only way to get people into treatment is threaten them with a criminal sanction. tens of millions of people have gone to a.a. and n.a. without the criminal sanction. and when you have evidence -- i remember this, one of the first exchange programs at tacoma, washington, what they found was the needle exchange program was the principal point of source of recommendations into drug treatment. think about it. people come to a needle exchange program so they can safely use their drugs without getting an infection and spreading it to other people. there is no coercion involved. it is the most important you can have for someone who is a known drug user what that suggests is that when people need to get help, when people are trying to get better, what the

>> i want to thank marty for being here. even though we disagree, i think it was really important to have the point of view of the 57 other elected d.a.'s in the state. i think it's important to understand in our dialogue so marty, thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> marty is someone i respect a great deal and he has been involved in public safety for a number of years and doing very momably serving the l.a. city attorney as well as his current position. actually, for me this has been a journey, it's not like a light switch went on yesterday. i have been involved in public safety for about 30 years. i have seen the war on drugs from the ground up. i have seen it as a police officer, young police officer walking, foot beat in south central and east l.a. i saw the revolving door, the impact that that revolving door was having in many communities and as i rose through the ranks, i began to take a different look at the way we dealt with crime and the way we dealt with public safety and as i evolved throughout the years, i

marty's point and wendy's? >> i can say just based on my experience in dealing with individuals who have drug problems, most of the time i don't think that the threat of a quote, unquote, felony conviction is going to necessarily prevent them from using. i think what would make more sense is to provide them with more services and to be more individualized in terms of treatment and how we address specific individuals. i also would note that when you are facing a misdemeanor charge, you're facing up to a year in county jail. now, sometimes you don't do a year in county jail because of changes that we've made to good time credits, but there is a threat potentially of incarceration that's attached to a misdemeanor conviction. so i think that's threatened us, if you're really looking for hammers and nails, why not just have a threat of a misdemeanor, period, of incarceration. the other thing i would say is that the respect trend has actually has been to implement shorter periods of flash incarceration so you actuall

kaplan, thank you again for joining me. >> thank you. >> bless you, marty. but do we have to take our cue from brazil? we've seen collective action work before to make this a better country. some of us have even been around long enough to remember the fight for voting rights 50 years ago. we remember the protests by courageous men and women who put their lives on the line, and the political skills of president lyndon johnson and the congress that passed the voting rights act of 1965. i worked for lbj and i was there when not long after peaceful protesters in selma, alabama, had been ruthlessly beaten by white thugs in official uniforms. the president went before a joint session of congress and turned the anthem of the civil rights movement into a hymn of freedom for all. >> what happened in selma is part of a far larger movement which reaches into every section and state of america. it is the effort of american negroes to secure for themselves the full blessings of american life. their cause must be our cause too. because it's not just negroes, but really it

i have to say that, i want to think marty for coming here. he knew he was coming into this. i want to repeat. i am in the minority in the association. i think concerning this item, it is important for me and all of us to recognize there are ballot points of view. if we're serious about developing solutions that work for all of us, we have to entertain those points of view and tried to reach consensus. that is the only one that we will create a workable, sustainable solutions. all we're doing is spinning our wheels. my reason for being here is because i truly have come to the conclusion that it is not only based on years on the ground operationally but years of working on development of public policy, working with state governments and justice and lower in corp. -- incarceration and working with other people. a variety of settings. i do not believe that incarceration has taken us where we need to be. i believe the war on drugs has been a failure. when we institutionalize people over extended periods of time, we take low-level offenders in the early stages and harden them and

marty, stand by. if you have to go in go back in. holly hughes, let's talk about proving manslaughter if we can put up the definition here. let's talk about what you have to prove when it comes to manslaughter and the possibility that george zimmerman faces, the killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another without lawful justification and in cases in which such killing shall not be excusable homicide or murder. what does that mean? >> right. basically, someone has to be dead, which the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt. you know, there is, unfortunately, a dead young man here. what george zimmerman did in causing that death, no mystery. he admitted he is responsible for causing the death. statements he made, i pulled out my gun. i shot him. what the jury needs to decide is was it justifiable. which means do they believe the self-defense claim advanced by the defense team here? it is very simple because you don't need the criminal intent you need with second degree where you are looking

it wasn't before long that marty parrots tried to get me to write a piece.ed to call him back. he got three weeks worth of trades all successful off the answering machine and told me to meet him at a coffee house. he said he made more money from the answering machine than years of professional money managers and wanted to give me 500,000 to manage. i said i didn't think i was capable of managing that. wow! he had confidence in me after i gave him tug-of-war. he did give me a check for $500,000. that was real money back then. i had it my hands, too hot for the touch. i ran down to fidelity with money set up another account. i went to work trading. immediately i lost a ton of it! >> the house of pain! >> sell, sell, sell. >> and i can see how i would have to wash dishes at marty's house and mow the lawn for 125 years to make back the 70 gs i just blown to smithereens. my mistake as clint eastwood told us wisely in "magnum force," a man's got to know his own limitations. you see you can't trade a huge chunk of money at once. it was in violation of my discipline

. >> just to follow-up what marty talked about. unless there is a report, we're not going to know about it. we're not going to be able to address that issue. in terms of graffiti on concrete, the majority of the ones i've seen so far have been along the lines of the stencil graffiti. those create a little bit more of a challenge for us in terms of prosecution. it is definitely something marty and i stay in contact about. everything is coming up. there's always changes. so, it is something we're trying to address as it's coming up. >> i'll add one thing to that, too. the stencils that are going on the sidewalks, and if they have permission by the property owner to do them. we have goldfish all up and down haight street. but permission by the property owners. so, that goes into it also. >> there will be a yellow brick road somewhere, too. we're going to go -- do you want to respond to this? >> i'll respond very briefly. my experience with graffiti vandals is that they are actually quite smart and adaptable. if they know that the graf

i confessed to marty my sins and said he should take whatever left of the money back.e wanted to give me more money. he was betting i learn made lesson. you know what? he was right. i reverted to my old style trying to be right about when one idea at a time keeping the rest in character going big when i had the most conviction the way any good trader would do. i slowly but surely made it back while i also paper invested a more active but not truly trading portfolio. paper invested. though i had a half million in the bank. that would become the beginning of my professional investing career which you will hear about in a moment. bottom line, if you trade, make sure you have a catalyst, an exit point where something is supposed to happen and you are out of the stock either way because you are -- either way, either way, because you are trading, not investing. you need conviction and you have to ask yourself, would you be willing for the world to hear hi, it's me, i'm not here right now, but i want you to take a swing at disney ahead of the analysts' meeting. if you can do

i think we'll just have to watch, listen and see. >> marty, i think it's important what you're saying because this jury worked through lunch, and they're working through dinner. the judge invited them to take a dinner. they don't have to work through dinner. so i think it's important, you know, as you're saying, everyone's anticipating something's going to happen, that they've come to some sort of consensus. i mean, they're not taking many breaks here, are they? >> no. i mean, and that's probably the most important thing to look at here is that they have decided that they're going to push through, but -- and clearly they're committed. you know, they want to -- they want to try and get this definition down, but what does that really mean? we can sit there and say, does that mean they've taken second degree off the table and they're solely focused on manslaughter? maybe, maybe not. maybe this clarification will somehow refocus them on second-degree. it's just very difficult to really surmise when you're dealing with one question coming out and another question going back in. and we are
