i hope tony likes it. [laughing] [applause] >> we knew this would be tremendously embarrassing to tony, because tony, you know, doesn't like to be recognized in any way. but the reason we did this, tony -- and i want to thank the trial lawyers association or the northern california criminal trial lawyers association as well as stuart hanlon. we're going to also have an image of you -- a sculpture of you, in our trial room to help inspire the next generation of attorneys. but this one is yours. [applause] so thank you very much to all of our panelists. we're going to take a five-minute break and then come back with our next p >> the second panel. this panel is going to be incredible. it really is. we have a superstar panel and, of course, a superstar moderator that i'm very honored to introduce, and that's judge lee baxter. and judge lee baxter is retired now from the bench, although you would never know it. and she's enjoying a new career as a photographer, is a great photographer. but during the time that

tony? >> i think in a corrupt society in a perfect society as we have, there has to be a hope or a projected ideal that there is justice, we'll say, in the court system and that there's idealistic lawyers, and there's fair judges, and there's not, you know, indelible bias and prejudice and rac racism, sexis, and all of those things dissipate, you know, when we approach the per diem. it's just like blinding our self. it's a way of taking the placebo instead of the medicine. great reform is required. we're threatened now by totalitarian tactics, grand juries, informants, mandatory sentencing. it's not very good, my friends. we're losing constitutional rights every day. and i think the way we appease our conscious, those of us who desire, i guess, not to probe and not to reform and not to speak out is we pretend that things have occurred in courts that didn't real liquor. [applause] >> it sounds like all of those things would make great tv or, of course, a great novel. paulette, you've spent s

did you follow tony's trials during that time? >> i followed tony in and out of the courtroom for about 10 years. being in tony's presence is a lot like having an overdose of x-rays or something like that. he is intense. once he sort of dumped this book on me -- it was never intended to be my book. it was supposed to be my art and his book. one day he came schlepping boxes and said, here, it's your baby, i don't have time. and i was left crushed under the avalanche of his enormous life that was both fascinating and -- it had so many tributaries to it. i had never written a book before. i had written journals and some articles. i mean, i consider myself a visionary, and my head isn't filled with words, it's filled with pictures. but i'm capable of describing the pictures that i see. so anyway, i began this journey of a thousand miles with one step at a time, the shrapnel of his life all over my floor, and trying to put together this puzzle which became so frustrating that i kept running away from it as much as i embraced it. i fina

, tony?ny was, i think, a renaissance is man. he had read wisely. >> steeped in history. >> and in culture. he was a man of honor. tony lived by his word. our thoughts and prayers are with tony's wife linda and >>> "the mclaughlin group" is brought to you >>> predictions. pat. >> ron paul will win the second largest number of delegates at the republican convention behind mitt romney. >> romney's refusal so far to release his income-tax returns will be linked to probable investments in the cayman islands and the likelihood that he paid a very small percentage of his income intaxes. >> michelle. >> i'm staying away from the candidates. my prediction, next week the 21st marks the beginning of national school choice week and i predict we will see over 5,000 people at the lake front arena in louisiana celebrating school choice and education reform throughout the country. >> clarence. >> romney will turn the bane capital flap to his advantage during the primary and i predict he will win the nominat

but when tony was 3, the blankly family moved to los angeles where tony began to develop his poise inchild actor. growing up in an accented family, left him with a lifetime trace of an english accent. i got to know tony well when he held the republican chair across from me on the mcglocklin group. no matter how loud our debates came with, tony, it was never personal. off stage, we never had an even slightly uncomfortable moment. tony's dignity and witt never failed him. i had the pleasure to recommend tony for the wright position on the public radio show left, right and center. if you go to kcrw's podcast archive, you can hear a sampling of the most civilized left-right discussions i have ever had. each made more compelling by tony's voice and thoughts. on the eve of the first in the nation republican presidential primary with tony's former boss in the running, tony blankley would be my first choice of guests on tonight's show. but this weekend in washington at sibly memorial hospital, cancer took tony. he leaves his wife linda davis and his three children spencer blankley, trevor bla

damaged individuals like tony was only damaged in such a way that they acted out their sociopathy by killing and murdering and tony acted it out simply by being curious well that's what's so interesting about this tom because a lot especially with neuroscience now we're looking at the brain and there's an argument legal argument being made you can't put this person on trial because he was born without empathy he was born without this function so he can't be held responsible but look at tony he matches these things and yet he doesn't cross that line even if he doesn't have an empathy so is it damage to the front or is there something more is there a preacher now to this position or as some argue is that nurture if you look at arthur shawcross the serial killer he was abused sexually abused by his mother a lot of these people have horrific past course you can also find somebody like another one in the book they would go ahead and normal family life so you know it's this funny stewpot have to do what causes it and serve it was reported in new york times of maybe two months ago we did a
