and now we will talk to paul butler and cnn legal analyst paul callan. and what can you expect when the two of them are returned, the two of them some >> well, they will be arraigned, and the teenager will be charge ed with probation violation, and you you know, so many people go to prison for probation violation, and as many people in prison for that as the substantive offense. i keep thinking of the stark contrast this is from the tamir rice kis case where we have a rich white teenager who kills four people, and he gets probashgs and tamir rice who is a teenager who is playing with a bb gun, and he is shot and killed by a police officer, and no prosecution. and you know, african-american teenagers deserve this same break as this kid, and they don't, they get uneven expose sure. so it is a one case of justice for each. >> and so, there was a psychologist who said that he should go to prison, and he was the victim of being brought up in the wealthy family and not knowing the difference of right and wrong, and paul callan, respond ta? >> well, i wrote a c

eric guster, paul callan, stand by.ot more breaking news this morning. >>> another legal case dealing with the so-called affluenza teen, the fugitive and his mother, they are now fighting extradition to the united states. we thought they would be back in texas this morning, but there is news about their movement, surprising news. we'll have details next. >>> plus, we're getting word that a united airlines plane has skidded to the edge of the runway in chicago's o'hare airport. so busy this time of year, holiday travel. the 737 from seattle was taxiing to the gate when it tried making a turn. when it could not make that turn in time, ground crews were brought in to pull the plane back on track. the airline expects all passengers and crews to deplane shortly. we'll get an update from chicago just ahead. hey, know-it-alls, you're welcome. now that t-mobile has double the lte coverage you can prove you're right to more people in more places. faulty fuel injector. you showed him. huh, still alive. told you. nailed it! you're

still time, ashleigh. >> thank you, paul callan and avery friedman.is not going offso well in the united states, and as you can imagine, global community is louder, and there is some of the outrage, and sol of it is total and utter surprise. people don't think it is true, because it is so off of the rails. here what they are having to say next. knee pain, when... hey brad, wanna trade the all day relief of two aleve for six tylenol? what's the catch? there's no catch. you want me to give up my two aleve for six tylenol? no. for my knee pain, nothing beats my aleve. iand quit a lot,t but ended up nowhere. now i use this. the nicoderm cq patch, with unique extended release technology, helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq. for yemonth after month, d year after year, . you wrote checks for your mortgage payments. after all these years, wouldn't it be nice if you could put it in...reverse? keep that money, continue to own your home and not make any monthly mortgage payments? it's poss

i'm also joined by cnn legal analyst paul callan. first to you, jim, on this. this executive action, something that the white house and congress have really failed to be able to achieve at this point. >> that's right, brianna. president obama is expected to announce in the coming days new executive action aimed at expanding background checks on gun sales. this is according to sources familiar with white house planning. the set of executive actions is described as imminent, and follows months of preparation by white house officials who are working on these unilateral steps to help curb gun deaths. in response to this rising number of mass shootings across the country. gun control advocates are expecting the new actions to be revealed next week ahead of the president's state of the union address on january 12th. sources familiar with white house planning say the focus remains on the so-called gun show loophole. people have been talking about this for years. not only in the white house but up on capitol hill. gun control advocates have been really aiming for this

i want to bring in the cnn law enforcement analyst paul callan and lee gilliam, and have you ever seening like this, paul callan, 21 people ip jur and 14 people murder and now within a couple of days the home is exposed to the news media as it has been? >> no, i have never seen anything like this, and i think it indicate as shocking degree of negligence and really reckless ne recklessness by law enforcement authorities here. apparently, they have decided because both of the suspects in this mass murder are dead, the investigation, the criminal investigation is over. but let's say hypothetically that maybe there is another person who was involved who was involved in bombmaking in that apartment. you have a contaminated crime scene now, and any criminal defense lawyer or any criminal prosecutor can tell you this that it is not unusual when you go back to the crime scene months later to find additional evidence, and that is why where you have a mass murder, the crime scene is locked down so that forensics can get in and thor error rowly xanl it to -- and or th -- thoroughly examine it, an

joining me now to talk about this case, cnn legal analyst paul callan and prosecuted sex crimes case. another cosby accuser, thanks to all of you. i want to speak with you because i understand you're deposing bill cosby next month in just about a week's time on these cases. first thing i'll ask you is what i your client's reaction. marched into a local courthouse and charged with a crime. >> well, as an attorney i can't give you precisely my client's reaction because i don't want to violate the attorney-client privilege, but if you put in the context of the greater public reaction, the women in general that have been assaulted or abused as they allege, they feel some sense of vindication that there might be prosecution of mr. cosby. and he might be brought to justice. >> paul, if i could ask you, you have this criminal case beginning in effect. you have a number of other civil cases that joe is involved in in part because the statute of limitations have expired on those cases. what effect will this criminal case have on those cases? >> well, i think these cases are all going to have a

i have paul callan and sunny hostin here with this breaking news. appreciate you both.trial. surprised? >> i am surprised. i'm actually surprised that the judge did not send them back again. just one more time because we know how important this case is to the nation, quite frankly. not only baltimore but to the nation. everyone is watching. but the judge would know best. he has been in the courtroom from the very beginning. and i suppose if you have a jury come back and say even after the allen charge, even after trying again, even after obviously asking for more information, they still could not reach a unanimous verdict, then this would be the right thing to do. but nonetheless, i am sort of shocked at it. >> super simple question, though. when we see a judge declare a mistrial, does that mean 50 neat toe, done, or can you retry? >> oh, no. you can retry. the word "mistrial" merely means there's no verdict and the case can in fact be retried. there are situations sometimes where a mistrial is caused by prosecutorial misconduct, and then double jeopardy might apply. >>

"outfront" now, paul callan, and stacy hanowitz, a sex crimes prosecutor. this may be the only one within the statute of limitations, just to make it clear for, well, why is this the only one? how long could bill cosby go to prison if andrea constand wins this case? >> this crime, aggravated sexual assault in pennsylvania, has a ten-year prison sentence that can attach to it. that's the maximum that he would be looking at. >> in his case, he's 78 years old, that's a very long period of time. it's not going to be a slam dunk, though? >> no. absolutely. any rape case in and of itself is difficult to prosecute but you have a case here where you have a celebrity and it's almost like a david and goliath type of situation. in this case it differs because if the state attorney is able to have all of the other women testify against him, if that testimony is admissible, then certainly it makes the case a lot easier. >> that's the question, whether it will be admissible. cosby says he was a mentor to andrea constand. he gave her ben driadryl. he goes into detail in t

i want to go to paul callan, former criminal defense attorney as well as chairman of the city councilack caucus in chicago. alderman sir, let me start with you. you just heard kyung lah. 13 months after this happened, that's what it took for the charges to happen and they were announced on the same day that the video actually came out, the video was only released because a reporter had filed a request and demanded it is release. do you think it's a cover-up? >> i certainly believe there was some sort of cover-up in this instance. it took them 396 days before filing charges when they had videotaped evidence of a man executing a child. i don't think it takes that long for felony review to review those charges and bring back a murder indictment against that officer. i think there's a cover-up there, certainly. >> paul, it sure sounds like there could be. you're being looking looking at video when i haven't heard anybody, including people who usually come to the cops' defense, has not defended this guy. why would it take 13 months? >> it's very hard to understand why it would. if you look

courthouse right now, and with cnn contributor and attorney alfred vertini and also our cnn analysts paul callan and josh. we thought that we would have a jury now, but we thought that it would take weeks. >> yes, and the jury is 2/3 african-american and 1/3 white. and four af -- three african-american and one white men, and five african-american and three white women. and when jurors were asked have you been a victim of a crime? have you been investigated by law enforcement? have you been convicted of a crime? have you been incarcerated or have you current charges? four on the jury stood up on that question. and also, two of the jury stood up when they asked if they had immediate family in law enforcement, and one juror on the sitting jury stood up when asked do you have very strong feelings about the charges in this case. so obviously, those jurors said that anything they feel they could set aside, we also do know that the peremptory strikes, which, ashleigh, as you know, they can be strikes for any reason at the very end, and all of those made by the defense were african-american jurors, and

. >> with us to talk more about this, we have paul callan, and legal expert and commentator laura coates who is a former u.s. attorney for the district of columbia. paul, one of the things that is pretty interesting about this case is that the statute of limitations was set to expire soon, and then you see these charges coming to light now. the statute of limitations, what 12 years? >> yeah, it is a 12-year statute in pennsylvania which is by the way a long statute for sex crimes, and movement in recent years to extend the statute, and many states have, but to wait until the last day before expiration is very, very unusual, and i find it particularly unusual, because he testified under oath in a civil case. the d d..a. had previously purs the case, and decided to pursue charge, so it is exceptional that they waited this long to posit charges. >> what about that, laura? what's changed really now aside from the deposition becoming public, and ten years or so ago, 14 women who were alleging assaulted by bill cosby and the allegation allegations were swept aside, and what has changed now? >>

paul callan is here.n its surface, i cannot believe i'm hearing those words from a supreme court justice. there are only nine of them, they are the top of the food chain in the country. is there more to it? >> there could be. certainly in the event they come from him, it's disturbing. obviously it's offensive. >> you mean the comments from his own -- >> precisely, from his own thought process as opposed to him quoting what a school of thought is that is out there. there is a school of thought out there that would suggest exactly what the justice suggested, and that school thought certainly seems to be rebuked. the fact is, was this something that was emanating from what he believes or was he referencing a theory? and that theory is certainly counterbalanced by another theory that says that's hogwash. >> he was quoting some briefs, so it's possible he was referring to other people's theories. >> in addition to an article by a professor sander who is noted for this mismatched theory that he was referencing.

and as miguel is monitoring what is happening on the ground there, i want to go now to paul callan, former nypd police officer and van jones. bill, let me start with you. you heard miguel on the street talking about the incredible number of police officers that they are now flooding the streets of baltimore tonight because they are worried that this could get out of hand. are they really concerned? >> oh, absolutely they are really concerned because they are afraid for this thing to build up. and as we've seen in the past, cars turned over and businesses set aflame. we don't need that to happen again in baltimore. >> this was the first case a. case of huge significance. six officers charged. one of them charged with murder. first one out of the gate to fail this epically? that's probably the right word, right? you can't reach agreement on a single charge? >> i think what is shocking is that they chose the prosecutors in baltimore, to go to trial on this case in the first place. it went in as a very, very weak ca case. bear in mind, william porter, 26-year-old african-american police office

let me go to paul callan. does this mean it's most likely done? he's not going to be charged?k it indicates state attorney marilyn mosby has learned a lesson. let's be careful about making a decision about what she's going to do next. they are going to look at the case and decide strategically, does it make sense? and i think that's what a good, smart prosecutor ought to be doing. >> did she overcharge? >> i think she made a big mistake in the way she charged this case. we used to have a motto that you start strong and you finish strong. so you want to start with the strong case that you're going to win because that's going to send a message to the community and other potential jurors that this is a good case. she starts with her weak case, loses and sets a bad tone for the future indicateses. >> the driver was actually charged with murder. >> yes. >> does this change the likely outcome of that? >> it certainly weakens her position with respect to the driver because any panel of new jurors coming in are going to say she lost the first case, there are going to be references to
