now everybody reads the "miami herald." the courts are reading this.dy reads it. >> people always want to believe that somebody is innocent but it is really dangerous years after the fact to get a new trial for somebody, for some legal flaw like maybe his lawyer didn't work hard enough or maybe some witness was unreliable. >> in fact gwen gurley who recanted her original testimony against duckett now claims she was coerced into recanting by an investigator working for the duckett family. >> he was at my house. he was always around. he never let my life at peace. so i told him what he wanted to hear. what he told me happened, i said okay, it happened. the only reason i even agreed to do this interview was just on record to let it be known that the last time i saw trees mcabee, she was in james duckett's police car. that's the last time i saw that little girl. the next time i heard about her, she was dead. >> earlier in his investigation, marshall frank was urged to meet with detectives from a sheriff's office in a neighboring county. until now, frank ha

scott's campaign has denied the allegations and told "the miami herald" mike was not in the van.ke to every staffer. if something was said in an accent, no one remembers what it was. we are a diverse organization and do not tolerate inappropriate comments. so a lot going on in the race for the governor's chair in florida. joining me tonight, annette, and conservative business owner, irinia with us as well. great to have you with us tonight. i appreciate it so much. annette, you first. why did fernandez resign? is there more to this story or just an insensitive comment or off color e-mail? is this the root of the story? >> i think so. i think what's sad is that they're turning on their top fund-raiser. they're actually saying he's lying. the lieutenant governor went on a spree yesterday just telling everybody all the reporters in florida, oh, no, there's no validity to this claims. now, today, we find out that the e-mails are actually out and we can see that he did send the e-mails, he did say it and his partner was in that van, where all this stuff was said. this is fernandez' pa

la escena registrada por un portero grafico del miami herald se repite una y otra vez. >>> eso fue horribletuvo un quiste en la traquea, y ese quiste todavÍa hay una buena posibilidad que regrese. vamos a tener que venir cada dos semanas o mÁs al mÉdico para que lo revisen. >>> sebastiÁn, o seba, tuvo que luchar por su vida desde que vino al mundo, naciÓ con 28 semanas y problemas respiratorios. >>> despuÉs de este episodio tu gran temor. >>> oÍrlo callado, montar un carro. >>> paola estÁ certificada en primeros auxilios. >>> crees que si hubieras sido tu, otra hubiera sido la historia? >>> sÍ, realmente no se lo que hubiera pasado, fue ella que lo llevÓ, todo da a que ella era la que tenÍa que estar con Él. >>> pamera es la tia de saba que actuo como toda una heroÍna, relata que ella y su sobrino quedaron atrapados en medio del trÁfico. >>> cÓmo te diste cuenta que dejÓ de respirar. >>> normalmente cuando el carro noseba llora, y como que algo me alertÓ de que no estaba bien. >>> por quÉ no llamaste al 911. >>> trate, pero los nervios no me dejaron. inmediatamente vinieron dos personas a m

i worked at the miami herald, the sentinel and the dallas times as a newspaper reporter covering anything i was asked to cover and highlighted my career when i was sent to cover a tornado in texas. it was exciting we went in any helicopter right after the storm settled. but after just a few years i thought i should be writing on my own. i think if you are very disciplined and the kin into thf writer that can be at your desk and eat in the morning you don't really need to have a job. if you can keep yourself at your desk and stayed there all day the chances are you are going to get something done because i think that is the key to writing is sitting at your desk as obvious as that sounds and sometimes it can be hard to sit there for a variety of reasons not just because the world is full of distractions but also because to sit at your desk is to inevitably look at your own writing and that can be a very discouraging experience when you look at your own pages so i think the trick is to assume that it will work out if you sit there long enough. i worked as a critic for "the wall street journ

>> as was indicated in the miami "herald" today, he was at the function in the president in south floridas health care. he supports the affordable care act and he has embraced it. so he's not running from it. i can tell you that any candidate who's been around for a while reads polls. i can assure you if it was a drag he wouldn't be saying it. >> why is this governor's race so important to the democratic candidate for 2016? >> well, because we are, as you said, a megastate. there's four megastates in this country. california and new york go democratic. texas at this point goes republican. florida is the only giant state that swings back and forth everyday. and therefore setting the table for 2016 and who can win florida regardless of talks about jeb bush or anybody else, it sets the table. >> mitch sea czar, good to have you with us. that's "the ed show." "politics nation with reverend al sharpton starts right now. good evening, rev. >> good evening, ed, and thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead, obamacare is saving lives. and the republicans are telling lies. we're just ten days aw

it got a whole lot worse when the miami herald crossed tabs from six internal gop polls. dozen members of rick scott's own party leaked some pretty damaging poll numbers to the press. the numbers show broad support for charlie crist across a wide array of demographics, according to one business interest statewide survey. crist leads scott by 34 percentage points in broward and miami-dade counties. get out the vote is going to be big. crist leads by six percentage points, according to a poll of republican-controlled state house districts. north florida is a republican stronghold, and crist leads scott by four percentage points there, which is almost unheard of. that's a cumulative 17-point shift in favor of democrats compared to the 2010 election. this weekend i am down here in florida to talk to voters about the issues that matter to them with a focus group. we're going to be talking about jobs, health care and voting rights. annette taddeo chair of the miami-dade democratic party joins me tonight. annette, good to have you with me. what message does it send when you've g

the real ones he covers in the miami herald, plus the ones he makes up in novels like "lucky you", whereida lottery winner ends up dead. >> florida, it really is a magnet. it's a magnet for predators. it's a magnet for scammers. it's, it's a -- it's a magnet for sleaze. it also makes for stories that are beyond what you would even think of writing in a novel. >> reporter: like this story -- abraham shakespeare, an illiterate worker in a lakeland, florida barber shop has won the lottery and then vanishes his boss, greg smith, has been pulled over by the cops after he made a fake phone call to shakespeare's mother pretending to be abraham. right away they realize, he's no criminal. >> were you ever suspicious of greg? >> well that first day obviously, but it became clear in that first interview that he was a victim of dee dee moore's manipulation. >> dee dee moore was the supposed financial planner abe hired to manage his money. detectives suspected her and decide instead of putting greg smith behind bars they'll put him to work in a convoluted cat and mouse game to catch dee dee. >> he ac

and david barrett, a humor columnist be used to write for "the miami herald" and is really good at thisstuff once said that the problem goes reason people don't understand the federal budget is that millions, billions and trillions sound too much alike. [laughter] if we just call them golf balls, watermelons and hot air balloon as it would be easy to understand the magnitude. there's something to that. so in this book i try and break the budget into the databases come into digestible morsels. when i talk about a couple of them here today before returning to questions. wine is when congress shows up every year, they've already committed about two-thirds of the money. 63% of the money that was spent by the federal government last year was committed to kerry's benefit programs, medicare, such as getty, medicaid, farm subsidies, veterans, interest on the debt. they spent basically the rest of you arguing about everything else. what this means is that they are never forced to confront how much do we want to spend on retirement programs? how much do we want to spot of health care benefits? wh

host: talking with marc caputo a writer for the miami herald. marc caputo, as we get done to the final arrows of the election, one of the issues that have had the biggest impact on the race? guest: the 10th of may times which is a hometown paper that has done the best job covering this, they are both electronic and in the paper, and you see that obamacare played an outside messaging role. some folks in the national media what this to look like in a referendum on obamacare, and it is not good there were the -- and it is not. we had the attacks on the republican candidate with a war on women. adam smith my colleague at the tampa bay times has said that toss a coin kind and whichever side comes up, do not be surprised. he says there is momentum toward jolly, but when you aggregate the polls out, there is a edge towards sink,. . if the republicans get to the double-digit lead in registration turnout on election day, they're probably going to win. if the democrats hold the below seven percentage was cover the democrats will probably win. what is the

i was a liberal columnist for the miami herald. i have worked in democratic politics. so i definitely have a strong personal point of view but i am intrigued and interested in the other side. i find a lot of their views, some confounding and some fascinating and am interested in having a dialogue. when i did talk radio, a lot of what we did was debate. we had joe scarborough on the show. we would have the debate. i think that is the great thing that cable news and talk radio allows you to do when you're willing to do it and get the other side engaged. host: have you been following secpac? guest: of course. i feel like what happens and things like cpac -- it is preaching to the choir. it is a pep rally for the right. it's not a place where they are engaging in the battle of ideas. they reinforce one another and emphatically say we are right and the other guys from. that is what they have done. -- i have been watching what's going on over there -- i think both , there is a bull within their bubble they feel if they just explained their ideas better, they would do better

as well as contributor to the "wall street journal" and mark caputo, political reporter at "the miami heraldican establishment, the traditional wall street republican establishment is reevaluating chris christie and starting to look toward jeb bush, is that something you are picking up on and why? >> absolutely, steve. i think your report was spot on, and one of the things i've always said about republicans over the last 50 years they have always done something unfailingly. they always pick the nominee for president who is next in line, whether it was nixon or reagan or dole or bush or mccain or mitt romney and tfz as of three months ago the next in line was chris christie. you're right, he has faltered. i don't think his faltering is necessarily critical but a lot of especially the kind of establishment republicans are looking around to see who might take his place. there's a minnut mini boomlet f bush. it would be interesting to have a 2016 election, i'm not necessarily endorsing this, another bush versus another clinton. >> i know one of those names i think right now polls a little better
