sara stated cnn waited to ask. the accounting review said when the report came back, he was fired within 24 hours. how do you see it, mara? >> you said the word bottom line and i think a lot of people understand chris cuomo's impulse to help his brother. so when the report came out, i think it was wise to wait and see and get additional information. but the documents released last week showed that chris cuomo did cross a bright red line of journalistic ethics. this is not a great question. it would be not a strategizing advice to provide information to a governor in the midst of a crisis. once those documents were released, i don't think cnn had any choice at that point. the decision they made, i'm sure, was not an easy one but it was the right one jurn list tickly. when you asked about the trust in the media i think a circumstance like this enforces the public's trust in the media because they did make the right call on such a clear-cut case here. and when it comes to sources, the coating of sources, this comes to

they did a good job with that. >> sara, what do you think about sentencing? >> just to mark's point, i think the prosecution -- the idea that they hammered in the mistake is not a defense. the defense got to get in an expert who was talking about the reasonableness, the consciousness of potter about the mistake. i think that was really key to remind the jury that, forget the noise about a mistake, because it's not a defense. sentencing, i think we will expect aggravating factors to be argued by the prosecution. we will expect mitigating factors in response by the defense. the idea that she has a family. she's had 26 years with law enforcement. she never had any record of discipline or criminal record. of course, that mistake which was not a defense could potentially be a mitigating factor for the defense in sentencing. the prosecution will argue she violated public trust in such a horrible way and that she violated department policy by not practicing with her taser. it will be interesting to see what the judge does. the judge can go from zero to max on count
