and now, father o'brien is dead.do it over again, could it have made a difference if you allowed o'brien to personally take the stand and let the grand jurors see his eyes? could that have made a difference? >> i don't believe so. i honestly don't believe so. again, it's not the indictment that i need. i need a conviction because i don't want to try just anybody just for the sake of it, for the glory, because if i start going for the glory and indictments of very sensational cases, i'm going to compromise my integrity and the oath that i took. some people want to glorify themselves through solving cold cases. >> but i think some people want to bring a murderer to justice. >> sure. but isn't there some glory and fame behind it? i'm not against glory and i'm not against fame, but the thing here is i'm not going to allow you to use me as a stepping stone. >> coming up -- >> mr. feit, i'm gary tuchman with cnn and i want to talk to you about irene garza. >> good for you. >>> today irene's family lives in limbo. certain t

father o'brien was 77 when he came forward.'brien might have been credible in some aspects of the case, but because of his senility and advanced age, the question here is whether he could be reliable. >> i felt that he was credible. i think he had a remarkable memory. >> rudy jaramillo, retired lieutenant from the texas rangers, met with father o'brien when he was investigating the murder. so, you judged father o'brien to be credible? >> yes, sir. >> did you think he was possibly senile? >> no. >> mcallen chief of police victor rodriguez agrees. do you believe father o'brien was a good, credible witness? >> absolutely. >> the d.a. also said he did not believe the former monk, dale tacheny. >> tacheny was not a witness that i could rely on. i believe that tacheny received all of the information that he wanted to say from rudy jaramillo of the texas rangers. >> the d.a. says the texas ranger rudy jaramillo fed the former monk information which he didn't have himself. lieutenant jaramillo says that never happened and that the d.a.

gold core dot com mark o'brien watching the guys report so i mean i got mike's mark o'brien gold and silver and the mainstream media says that the bubble has burst your thoughts well the mainstream media hasn't exactly cover themselves in glory and they have covered the gold markets in recent years as a member of the early two thousand. despite raging legal for the battles the mainstream media rarely if ever covert gold and when they did cover gold it was covered in a very negative way whereby it suggested it was volatile it was risky it was a barbaric relic and they quoted an assortment of different stock brokers and bankers who peddle that basic that very negative view of gold and then it's interesting once gold began to perform and i'll see how the global debt crisis manifests itself and the people who are warning about the debt crisis and advocated owning a position in gold bullion as diversification people such as yourself when these people are proved right and the gold price. went up in value as had been suggested that it would buddy's people went up from two hundred fifty doll

just two years ago, 27-year-old shannon o'brien was stuck behind a computer at a corporate job. now, she's pushing the bar in the fitness world, as she's traded her business suits for yoga pants. "it's always been a dream of mine to open my own business." o'brien just opened five months ago a pure barre, one of the many popular fitness franchises breaking onto the scene. the concept uses the ballet bar as the tool for toning and squeezing your way to an athletic physique. the pure barre franchise started in 2009, and now has more than 130 locations across the country. it's opening at least 60 studios this year. o'brien says classes are getting more and more packed as they figure out what works with marketing. "we do a lot of social media, a lot of word-of-mouth, which is great. we do a lot of referrals. we just try to get the word out as best we can." - but toning and squeezing may not be for everyone. luckily, there are many fitness franchises coming onto the market, so there's bound to be one for you. fitness franchises like pure barre are racing to open and are bringing the f

so, i for one would like to learn more. >> commissioner o'brien? >> i agree with commissioner dwight. >> the real temptation is to just to do nothing. right? >> and we could just avoid everything. and just avoid the controversy and just do nothing. and i agree with you commissioner and that is not what we are about and we got to take on the debate head on. and listen to the arguments and make an informed choice and i move that we move to continue this and if it is at all possible director, to hear this before it goes before the planning commission and to give the opportunity for both sides to be able to come back again, if they so choose. and we could have an informed debate and make an informed decision at that time. i would like to make that move if that is possible. >> i think that a couple of things need to happen and one is that we would need a commitment from the project sponsor that if they are able to hear it at the planning commission before this small business commission is able to hear it that the project sponsor would make a commitment

richard o'brien, seen on the right, described a meeting between bulger and a man who owed him money.en testified that when the man balked at paying, bulger apparently replied, "we have a business besides bookmaking, killing people like you." o'brien used a racier word than people, and whitey bulger, who had shown little emotion through the first days of the trial, threw his face back and laughed, seeming to enjoy a good story by a friend not afraid to look him in the eye. >> thanks. >>> a huge, three-alarm fire is under control this morning after destroying parts of an indianapolis recycling complex and forcing evacuations of 100 homes. all that heavy, black smoke you see there could be seen for miles. the fire is expected to continue smoldering for a few more days. its cause is still under investigation. >>> and an orlando mother is now free on bail after being accused of using a stun gun on one of her own children because -- this is real -- her oatmeal wasn't made correctly. oh, my gosh. a witness apparently called the sheriff's department on thursday when they found a note by the

. >> and so then my question to you commissioner o'brien, would you like in the next meeting maybe a presentation from the planning department around form law retail criteria, how the commission is to use this criteria? because the recommendation that you know, the recommendation in terms of if you are going to make a specific recommendation to support or to deny does have to fall your recommendation has to fall within the criteria that the planning commission can use. and you can then because you are sort of like a member of the public, so to speak, you could, add any additional things that the commission may want to say, but, in terms of making a recommendation to the planning commission, it has to be based upon that criteria. am i making any sense? >> yeah. if i may? >> commissioner dwight? >> yes, so thank you, that criteria by which we are to judge is the very criteria that the planning commission is to judge and i would appeal to both parties here to use that criteria has guidance for your presentations to us. you may present other materials as well. but understand that we are

this suit paints a very damning picture of both o'brien and corzine as reckless in terms of managingicularly in isolating customers' money. almost $1 billion of customer funds went missing during october of 2011 as the firm sought to handle some losses they had taken on proprietary trades that corzine had done, guys. it's a very tough suit. we'll be hearing more about it any minute now as the cftc puts a start to the press conference acknowledging these details that are in here. >> thanks very much, kate. any minute now we'll be talking with them. has jon corzine any chance at all of settling this? >> of course, mandy, there is always that chance. and one curious report that came out in the last week suggested that corzine had not been given a chance to settle with the cftc. that's not clear. what is clear is the cftc has taken a very tough stance on him, and hathey're getting toug on folks who abuse customer money. i'm sure there will be a chance to settle before the jury finds a result, so we'll see how it plays out. of course, corzine is someone who has very sophisticated defense

>> commissioner o'brien? >> go ahead. >> thank you. >> so, was it animal control that delayed the legislation? >> did we delay? >> it was set to go back in july or something and i don't know care and control delayed? >> july of this year? >> i think that we had, there was the attempt to put it through by january of this year, but we did not have the ability to put it into place, so we asked for the greater extension which was to july first, 2013. we also wanted to give the dog walking community an opportunity to be heard and we wanted to have meetings with them and some of them who wanted to be involved in figuring out what the parameters were for the training and others kinds of things and implementation and so we did it right, we had a task force and we got the people together and we did it the long way. >> so is there any, and what is the consensus between the dgra and the six dog limit and i remember that discussion and we actually allowed one extra dog on the grounds and it was the walker's dog and we fi

. >> commissioner o'brien? >> i am just curious to know, how you come up with the figure for $175 for the new fee? >> yeah. >> we feel that is how much time it will take in terms of our staffing to, well, maybe i will explain the whole and i will explain the budget to you. >> i don't want to suck up a lot of time for that, but, maybe a better way to go for my reaction for that is i am always adverse to huge hikes, you know, there are people that are running business, now, and they have been for some time and they are used to the 25 dollar fee and suddenly, they see, 100, what? >> 175 dollar jump or 175 percent jump in that. >> and i am always adverse to that sort of change in people's minds no matter how small the figure is because i would rather they be done progressively over a number of years. >> this is a 600 percent increase. >> yes. >> that is a lot. >> $25, that was something that was imposed like ten or 15 years ago. >> that did not cover the cost that we have to do in terms of dealing with, you mean, h

>> right, from what i heard, he and edith o'brien will be banned from trading future stocks.n't ban them from having a relationship with wall street in some way, but in futures, they will be banned from doing it. >> there is no big investment house that doesn't have a futures business, so this means jon corzine can never be ceo of a big wall street firm again. >> right, and that's significant because this is a man who has had many lives, as you guys all know. goldman sachs, public office, mf global. there was talk of him possibly starting up a new firm, maybe a hedge fund. so a ban might possibly be the most painful thing for him. that's, again, if the suit revalr prevails, and i'm sure there will be a vigorous defense. >> indeed there will. thank thanks, kate. >>> a baby tapir was just born at a zoo in new england and it desperately needs a name. she is the cutest thing. vote at facebook.com/powerlunch with your suggestions for the 25-pound female tapir. her dad's name is milt on as in milton friedman, so we're sure you can think up some good names for her. flying is old hat
