avery friedman in cleveland, richard herman in vegas. let's talk about this case.n man arrested in 2007 because he sees boston police officers on the street. they're arresting someone. he thinks they're using excessive force. he pulls out his cell phone, starts to videotape them. uh-oh, he's arrested. the charges were then dropped. he countersues. where do we stand on this case now? >> a three-judge panel this past week -- past ten days came up with what i think is one of the top ten rulings of 2011. it says that when you are tape-recording people in public, such as police officers or others doing their job, it is a protected right under the first amendment. it advances freedom of speech. it also, the court said, advances freedom of the press because it's going to be fed to news organizations. so i think the police in this case messed with the wrong guy at the wrong time. a real victory for the constitution this week. >> some people might argue that police won't be able to do their jobs, then, if they're constantly worried about somebody videotaping them. you're sh

our laem legal guys are back, avery cleveland, richard herman in plantation, florida. ght, richard. you say you see amanda knox making her way back to u.s. soil. >> i kind of think so at this point, fred. avery, how weird does this sound. there's going to be a verdict next week. the six jurors and two judges are going to come to a resolution next week. apparently 50% of the case that go on appeal in italy have some for form of reversal in them. the united states has put tremendous pressure on the italian government due to the perceived lack of evidence, even though she does not have an alibi for that evening. but the dna was knocked out. that was a substantial blow to the prosecution's case. i just kind of believe the mood and i can feel a little sense there's going to be a substantial diminishment of her prison time or she very well may be put free next week. >> avery, why are you so skeptical, even with the diminishing of the dna evidence that helped convict her? >> i'm not skeptical but i think i'm hearing a reversal on my colleague's part. i thought richard said the

our legal guys are back, avery friedman in cleveland and richard herman in las vegas. see you gentlemen again. richard, this really underscores france's zero tolerance. he didn't have to have a credible threat or make a credible threat against anyone. all he had to do was utter the words that were anti-semitic, which is the same as any kind of hate speech that he may have been spewing. he would soon find himself in court just as he did like in this case. >> yeah, it's like when you walk down the street and you see a piece of garbage and you kick it and little bugs crawl out, that's like this galliano. in france, with respect to free speech, the speech is free except when it does not uphold the common good, inflicts pain or drives a wedge through segments of the community. our first amendment used to be like that about 25 years ago. but it has evolved to the point today where we take our first amendment very serious. we want people to have freedom of speech. and as long as your speech is not -- is not -- does not provoke immediate violence or is not a threat to someone

avery friedman in cleveland, richard herman in las vegas. tough case to talk about the first round. now here we go again. richard, will it likely be just as gruesome or will prosecutors, defendants, try to pardon the jurors of all the gruesome details we heard in the first trial? >> no, fred, it's going to be a replay of the first trial again. they have to do that. this is a separate case. the prosecution has the burden of proof to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. they are seeking the death penalty. they are going to have to enrage and inflame this jury with the facts of this case. it's not going to be difficult. this was one of the most horrific scenarios i have ever seen. i'm telling you, i don't know that there's any viable defense for this man. his lawyer is ranting and raving, blaming everyone from the judicial system to the judge to the victims to the surviving vehicle. he's blaming everybody under the sun because he saw how the first case wen. i really believe it's going to end the same way the first case. this man is going

richard herman says he thinks she's going to find her way on u.s. soil soon. what he thinks, why he thinks this case is closing favorably for her. >> she needs to get home. >> he thinks because of the lack of evidence she might make her way home. i won't steal his thunder. >>> everyone knows levi johnston's name. he's written a book "deer in the headlights." a tell-all book about the palin family. that was the moment that changed the dynamic for him in so many different ways. that was republican national convention here when he saw what an incredible stage he was on, that he felt like he was thrust on. he is talking about how life seemed simple and amicable with the palin family until bristol palin got pregnant and until the presidential ticket lost. >> is this a tell-all in the sense of a tell-all, salacious. >> no holds barred. he feels like at this point so much has been said about him by the palin camp, that he felt like this was my turn. so it is a tell-all book. then he says he's also moved on. it's an interesting heart to heart with him. >> they are tel

herman cain will as well. he showed his strength in florida. we encourage him in michigan as well and open up the field and help to find the next president. >> richard president get any credit for saving the automobile industry there? >> well, sure. i think you can't say that the dollars didn't help. of course, they helped. but the format of it, government-backed taxpayer money, there was a bankruptcy. there's a capital markets that deal with bankruptcies. there's financing for bankruptcies. it's called dip financing. it's one of the things governor romney talked about early on is let the companies go through the normal course of bankruptcy, come to a good conclusion, deal with debtholders and shareholders and vendors and management and put the company back on track. so was it the best use of taxpayers' money? i'd say no. was the outcome acceptable? certainly. nobody can complain about that. >> robert schostak, thanks for joining us. >>> and president obama tells black lawmakers to quit complaining. how's that going over? >>> and to hell and back again. the new documentary that exposes the true cost of war. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports"
