Senso and sunny hostin are here. >> do you think they planned this together? >> i think that clearly it suggests they were in cahoots. i love the added fact that was just reported that they went there and were fingerprinted and complying with their parole registration, which is amazing to me. and somebody just tweeted and i have to agree, it is really an ingenious prison break when you think about the idea that somebody just puts all this paperwork together, then they fax it over or do whatever ...

She deserves justice. she should never -- have trusted my father. >> reporter: among the states star witnesses will be at least one of his daughters, part of the effort to send him away for life. prosecutors say macneill was carrying on an affair with gypsy willis who moved into the macneill home as a nanny after michelles death. >> my mom deserves justice. m father orchestrated this whole plan on how to murder my mother. >> reporter: in a pre-trial ruling, the judge determined the jurors will n...

What lindsey graham is proposing is actually cutting into what grandparents across this country are getting. andrea mitchell broke major news on "meet the press" this morning when she said the current white house posture is no benefit cuts. even if theyre looking at other entitlement reforms, it wouldnt cut benefits. we hope thats actually the case. if so we will have a lot of unity among progressives and democrats. if the white house does go after benefits it will cause a big schism on the left...

>> reporter: how could it happen? forged documents sent to the department of corrections ordered the releases and on them the signature of orange county judge belvin perry. perry sees how it is possible no one would question his signature and he is not entirely surprised. >> people, particularly people with criminal minds, come up with ingenious ways to beat the system. >> reporter: who filed the forged documents, we dont know. but what they did was this, they filed the fraudulent motion to corr...

The third is that hhs is also at the mercy of house republicans who control the money. and house republicans have given hhs no earmarked money for the federal website. hhs has had to cobble together money to come up with the website. again, none of that is to excuse the rollout of the website. it has not been a successuccess. those are factors which people should keep in mind. >> although, you know, perry, when i think about it, i agree with some of jays points. we saw the republicans in congres...

Investigation. they do tell us, they are expecting more arrests to come. we just dont know when. don? >> nick palencia, thank you, nick. the documents they used to get out had an official signature on them. including this signature of judge perry. but it is a fake. judge perry never signed them. it was a forgery. i talked to the judge and he has a theory about what happened. >> don, more than likely what happened, someone appeared in the clerks office, dropped them in a box. they were processe...

Letting a murderer go free. i understand that the state attorney and the judge had nothing to do with it. but somebody, i dont know if it was an inside job. whoever did it helped him. i do believe that. they had to have help. this is somewhat ingenious. >> it was the fake signature of judge perry. the high profile judge says hes not entirely surprised. >> people, particular people with criminal minds come up with ingenious ways to beat the system. they have nothing but time on their hands to t...

Reason this is a third-degree felony as opposed to a misdemeanor is because our victim, rebecca, was only 12 years of age. >> while the guilt of the two alleged tormenters is for the court to decide, there is one fact that cannot be ignored -- rebecca ann was just 12 years old. and while the rates of cyberbullying are tough to track, suicide rates are not. suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10 to 24, and each day in our country theres an average of 5,400 suicide a...

So clearly these inmates must have had some help from someone outside, correct? >> reporter: oh, no question about it. in fact, judge perry said look, my signature is all over the internet. its easy to find. its out there. anybody could have gotten their hands on it and forged my signature along with the other documents that were forged. so theres no question that they had some outside help. and its interesting that both of these men, theyre not related to the same case. individual cases. but bo...
