You have allegations the crime scene was contaminated, the detective involved in this case has a sorted and dicey past himself. >> exactly. >> it all folds into a disturbing case, but the bottom line is, a mother is sitting in the courtroom grieving for her daughter and she believes that perhaps the person in front of her had intent to murder her child. >> she said she wanted to look him in the eyes. stunning stuff. >> mary, thank you very much. sad to speak with you under these circumstances, b...

To see if theyre going to comply. but as you know, theyre making outrageous statement, they want it back at a year, not six months. reid is blocking any kind of sanity where you would pass a reintroduction of sanctions if they didnt hit the agreed upon date. thats what they should do. but this dope reid, and he is -- he is one of the worst. he wouldnt even bring it up to do a sane thing that would protect this country. come on. you know what im talking about. >> you know, not just -- i think act...

Diplomacy to the ground and salt the ashes end of story. why the heck are 16 democrats co sponsors this piece of legislation, its not like theres some broad revolt against the talks. theyre skeptical it will work. diplomacy has been endorsed by peace groups to the head of the foreign relations. the only plausible answer is that the democrats either genuinely want military e escalation with iran or theyre afraid aipac which has made passing this bill their current number one priority. theyre maki...

Aipac leading the way. theyve been seen as the lead push on this in terms of an outside group, but also other groups as well. in terms of that domestic political pressure, and the way that democratic senators as well as republicans are susceptible to it. if bob menendez could get harry reid to allow a vote on this. and if the senate could vote on it, do you think theres a chance that it could pass with a vetoproof majority? could the white house get their bluff called on vetoing it? >> i think t...

And this is not just another crank at the wheel on sanctions. this is a very important historic moment in u.s. diplomatic history, to systemically change the relationship of the united states with another key nation that has been problematic for us for three decades. this is a nixon goes to china moment. and it would be like the u.s. senate handicapping and kind of cutting the legs out from underneath richard nixon in normalizing china. thats how big this is. >> because of the domestic pressures...

Sometimes has to do even when it doesnt want to be in this position. that is what they, at the end of the day is their best public appeal. i think, though, iran, aipac, israel angle is going -- i know it is being played big time behind-the-scenes with members of congress because that, that could be effective with them. i think its less effective with the public. >> the president has been working on many fronts appealing internationally on this. what more in the messaging does he need to fill in ...

Overstated. >> this would cripple the president for the rest of his term. i dont rule it out. you alluded to the notion that you had behind-the-scenes contact with the administration. there should be a war room but there isnt where you sit side-by-side with the presidents security team and representatives of aipac and nancy pelosi and eric cantor. is there a room somewhere? >> if there is i havent been invited to it. if you talk to republicans on the hill they are frustrated they havent been abl...

Favor of the insurgents and bring the syrian war to an end. by the same token, i would say he would not have used chemical weapons when u.n. inspectors were around. >> i want to call your attention to a report here in this country about aipac, politico reporting that aipac, the massive israel lobby in this consider is planning a major push in congress. do you think that kind of pressure is going to help the administrations case considerably? >> i never take reports at face value. it may or may n...
