they tune into the serving testimony in the casey anthony murder trial whether it matters to a greater society or not but who cares because it's the show lauren mr r. t. washington d.c. . and while that saga continues another trial wrapped up today one that you may not hear about almost no mainstream media outlets bother to cover it three men were sentenced to twenty five years in prison for trying to blow up synagogues in new york they're known as the newburgh four and were covered as the face of homegrown terrorism the problem is there weren't any bombs the men were given fake explosives by the f.b.i. and asked to plant them promised cash and cars it begs the question if f.b.i. agent provocateurs had not been inciting it would there have been a crime at all some attorneys and activists have condemned this as entrapment and it was certainly an emotional day for all parties involved a court relatives were seen leaving the courtroom crying even the judge basically said she felt her hands were tied and having to sentence these men despite what she cited as outrageous government misconduct in the case now earlier i spoke with alicia mcwilliams mcco

casey. >> thank you, mr.u for your testimony and extraordinary work not only on these difficult issues, but so many others. let me commend you as well on the work you've done with me and others on focusing the pakistani leadership, their government, on a critically important issue that involves the strategies to prevent the killing of our troops by way of the ied's that come from and have the origin in the nitrate which is flooding into afghanistan from pakistan so i appreciate your work on that and your reporting back when you raise the issue with the pack -- pakistani leadership. i have one basic question. it's a a focus question on the certification that you must provide pursuant to the enhanced partnership with pakistan act we know by kerry-lugar-berman. i'm reading with the certification section 203, the certification required by the subsection is a certification by the secretary of state under the direction of the president to the appropriate congressional committees, and then in pertinent part that pak

here it goes, based on privileged communications between casey marie anthony and her counsel, counsel reasonably believes thats mrfense. we're not certain at this point what that communication was. it is privileged and the records are under seal. everything that happened this weekend. many people are speculating, i tend to agree, that perhaps it has to do with casey anthony taking the witness stand. many of us, myself included, brooke, think she has to take the witness stand in order to prove out the defense's theory that caylee drowned an accidental death. and so perhaps that is one of the reasons why the defense now believes that she is incompetent to take the stand. >> and i would be remiss, these are live pictures, if you want to know, live pictures of casey anthony there as we see that shot of her each and every day sitting inside this orlando courtroom. let me ask you about the death penalty. this came up also, sonny. the defense filed another motion today asking the court to declare florida's death penalty unconstitutional. they want a mistrial. and a do-over with a new jury. really? let me just put on my

jose baez, lead counsel for casey anthony, has been told by the judge on the record, these violations are intentional. i find them to be intentional, mr. baez, you need to bring forth all the information, paycheck sure your experts put what they're going to testify to in their report. give their opinion ahead of time so the other side can properly prepare. and that's not just to jose. the state has to provide the defense the same type of information. this has repeatedly gone on, where the defense attorney has shown up, says his expert's going to testify to something that is not in the judge's pretrial order, and what i'm referring to there, t.j., back in february, they had -- you know, this case has been going on for three years, behind the scenes, pre-trial hearings, over and over, and this continually arose. the judge has said in the past, hey, both sides are playing games. so to avoid this, to stop this from happening in trial, because we'll have jurors that are sequestered. we don't want to hold them hostage any longer than we have to. so to make sure trial slows smoothly, i'm putting an order in place and i'm saying, if it's not
