W, one teenager is bawin,y john berman, sarah is out todayis is cnn news centra any Momt Sentenci in miigan, the first parents convicd for the carried out. They well find out eir fate. James an jenniferrumbleeach face up to 15 years in prison. Defense attorneys e asking for them to be givetime served.

Both were found guilty on four counts of Involuary Manslauger Aer The Son killed four students and a Mass Shooting at hihigh school cnns jean casarez. And folling all of thiforest, shes back here with us now. This ia very important day for the victims and their families. How is this going to play out . Were waiting to see this rht now . This is going to be so emotional it, this is an emotnal ment for everyone thats involv becau the defendants are going to find out their te. Will they be in prison for the next 15 Years Willhey Ve the Advisory Guidelineshat the probation depament delops, which is fouro seven years or will they even be able to have that time served ry important in both sides are goi to work with the facts on that. The factof this first ever homicide in th country charges agait parents because they didnt pull the trigger. Trigger at oxford high school. But that moment when t parents of the four children that were killed, gun down by Ethan Crumbley at oxford high school, go to Thpodiumnd We Haveearned Iwill only be the parents, the close Family Members of those foustudts, because those arthe four convictions, the hicide convictions and they will be le to ur out their heas to james and Jennifer Crumbley, even speaking directly to them, weve heard that inhis couroom re. Other circumstances of how their life has anged, how their life will never be the Sameecause Ey will say that the parents you bought that gun for your d when you knew he cou do something you knewe had emotional problems and four days later is when that mass were goingo watch this play, out together. See in the box next to you is inside court rit now were gon kee watching this very closely. This is all about to get Underwayany Second Jea thank you so much john. All right. With us now, Attorneys Misty Marris and robert bianca. Misty, i first eu here. What will the judge take into consideration when determining the sentence . Yeah, john, so its gonna be aggravating factors and Mitigating Factors. So prosecion, tyre going to present e aggraving factors thatot of that is going to be what we just heard. Jeanne speaking aut those Horrible Vict impact statemen from those th were impacted by the deathsf those four for kids, thenere going to hear Mitigating Factors thats where the Defense Isoing to lk about all of the things that should lower the sentence. Thats gonnbe focused on their own witnesses. Were going to be able to come up. Theres Family Members for crumbley believe and aition to that, theyre going to say that theyre remorseful and theyre also going to focus on thfacts heretheyre not eres ree pillars and criminalusti system, a rehabilitation deterrence. And punishment. Thats why we incarcerate people. So the judge is going to be thinking about those three buckets when ultimately determining a sentence so far weve talked about the unprecedented nature of this. You do have some concerns about that yeah, i really do. Is a prosecutor. We typically dont criminalize civil actions and usually would criminalize the actions that a person themselves actually performs or doesnt perform. This one is more attenuated or its bringing brought out a little bit more work what were saying, were going to hold the parents responsible for the actions that they did not contemplate it, did not envision that there wasnt a conscious disregard that they did not know was going to happen for what it was that their son did. And well concerns me as a former prosecutor in a homicide prosecutors, ive seen situations where it may make sense in one case, but then starts getting used in all sorts of other areas. And parents have to be now aware that they may be held responsible for all sorts of conduct of their children. Okay. Be that as it may, theyve been convicted already. So this issue already asked and answered to an extent. But how will that impact the sentencing . Do you think do you thi the judge will have that going on Ring Considerations well, havent been around a lo time ago. I he to tell you that the are a number of people we will are dead here. So thats ing to weigh very, very heavily as an aggravating factor, as miss the head indicated, now the Sentencing Guidelines are between 3. 5 years to seven years. Prosecutors are looking for ten and 15. So the judge is going to have to balance these aggregates preventing and Mitigating Factors. But the fact that there are four deaths year is going to weigh very, very heavily on the judge. And because of the publicity of this case, my experience has been the more publicity, the more harsh the sentence is going to be tried separately, yet being sentenced together. Whats the likelihood that their sentences will be the same or different . How will that be determined . So the judge could make a determination that the sentences its are different. Yeah. My gut is telling me that they are likely to be the same. However, in the presentencing memos, both sides submit these memorandums. The prosecution was very focused on a jailhouse phone call that James Crumbley made, which remember when we were covering the trial, john, we didnt know what the content of the call was. So the prosecutors are saying that that was actually a threat to prosecutors. Now, of course, defense, their countering that saying this is just him with a grievance and hes allowed to not like what the prosecutors are doing. Thats his right. But thats certainly something that were going to see prosecutors focus on with respect to James Crumbley, could that enhance a sentence . I dont think thats going to move the needle for the judge. I anticipate they will be the same, but thats something certainly that could be taken into consideration. I saw you shaking your head. This is just ridiculous. Whats going on in this case in terms of the characteristic . Fascination and evidence has been allowed him, which i think is going to be subject to a potential reversal down the road because youre not allowed to introduce that evidence. And now prosecutors of which i was one are going to be so genteel and upset that they believe that its an appropriate factor that because hes angry with prosecutors at that should be a reason why hes sentences increase. Thats not in the sentencing code. And again, once again, i think prosecutors are overstepping their bounds as a prosecutor myself, id never would be saying im personally offended. Therefore, the sentence should be higher because they attacked me ridiculous Victim Impact Statement they will be wrenching what actual effect do they have to what extent has the judge already got the sentence ready . Yeah. So you make a great point because there is so much work that goes into this and determining the sentence before we even step into the sentencing hearing the memos that we were just speaking about, which lay out the arguments of both sides. So certainly the judge has an idea of where there theyre going to land. We know their state Sentencing Guidelines, as bob said, threeandahalf to seven years, prosecutors are asking for an enhancement. However those Victim Impact Statements, they could move the needle at the judge can take all of what happens today into consideration. So to the extent he has something, it is mind which youd likely does it could be enhanced, it could be more towards those Sentencing Guidelines that defense could move the needle. It just depends on what happens in the courtroom. Misty marris babadilla. Thank you both so much for being with us. Appreciate it okay.

You can just make it better for those that follow Space Shuttle columbia, the final flight, two part finale, sunday at nine on cnn knew this morning we are getting our first look at the Jury Questionnaire for the first ever criminal trial of a former president , the new york Criminal Case against donald trump begins on monday with Jury Selection. Ten days after that, the Supreme Court will have oral arguments. This has to do with whether donald trump has immunity in the federal election subversion case, overnight Special Counsel, jack smith issued a new filing urging the justices to reject trumps claim cnns kaitlan, polands with us this morning. This was a pretty direct filing from jack smith yes. 66 pages pushing back on everything that donald trump is arguing to the Supreme Court to try and get rid of the case against him in federal Court Related to the 2020 election the Justice Department is laying out a lot of points here. So lets go them go through them. Theyre saying that nobody in American History has ever intended for there to be immunity around the presidency, not the people who wrote the constitution like Alexander Hamilton and not even in recent memory during waterge d after the Watergate Scandal during the presidency of richard nixon. It doesnt hurt the presidency for there to not be immunity for someone like a former president to be charged with a crime. This is a key point in this filing where the Justice Department says there are a lot of checks to make sure the prosecutions of someone like donald trump are not political in nature. Theres a grand jury that has to approve an indictment. Thes a jury at trial, and then theres the cots themselves that checkout the law and the case before a case goes to trial also, they say what trump wants here is radical. That what he is arguing for the immunity would allow for things like a president to commit crimes such as bribery, murder treason, even sedition. Those are the examples given in this filing to the justices lining up for this argument. And then finally, john a quote, A Pretty Strong Quote in this, a president s alleged criminal scheme to overturn an election and thwart the peaceful transfer of power to his lawfully elected successor. Thats the paradigmatic example of conduct that should not be immunized on top of saying there should be no president ial immunity, a former president should be able to sit for trial. The Justice Department also argues that the Supreme Court should not send this back down and further delay things in this case to the lower courts this should move on to try to trial. And donald trump should sit before a jury. Yeah, its an important point there. Jack smith, clearly concerned about the ideaf even more delay even if the supre cot nt rule againshim, peray Katelyn Polantz. Thank you very much for them. Okay. Lets talk about this right now. Joining us is former federal prosecutor, Elliott Williams john and caitlin. Were going through some of the high points of what was in this filing what stands out to you in smiths latest filing sure. The last point that caitlin had made about this question of delay, its a very important won an argument that the trump team is putting to the Supreme Court almost as an offramp of sorts of saying that well, even if you cant resolve this now, ladies and gentlemen, please send this back down to lower courts to have more hearings and more for decisions as to this immunity question, the Special Counsel makes the argument that thats unnecessary. This issue has been briefed already, and its really the Supreme Courts job more than any other according the country to sort out questions like this. And i think in the news we see it as a question of, well, what does that mean for the trial . Is this just about delay . I think from a legal perspective as well, these adding more proceedings to hear just simply is not necessary at this point. And thats a Core Argument that the Special Counsels taking right now. That is interesting. And the question before the Supreme Court is whether and if, whether and if so, to what extent does a former president enjoy president ial immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his his tenure in office from this filing. And what youve seen before, how is jackson of handling this i think quite well and look, this is coming down to the central question that came up. In the appeals courts oral argument. And this was put forward by judge florence pan. This question of what where does the president have the authority to say, call in a drone strike on a political nicole opponent, a drone strike would be an act within the president s authority, right . Its the president has access to various tools of the Armed Services could he do that . And trumps team did not have an answer to that, and i would think that to the extent the Supreme Court is two way this issue on the merits, thats the kind of question. Therell be asking what where is the outer . The limit for what a president can do when acting within his or her authority was also talked about the hush money case. We know now that a new York Appeals Court has denied Donald Trumps asked to change venue and delay when it comes so the hush money trial, Jury Selection is set to move forward next week. And we have these details of the questionnaire of what potential jurors will be asked not asked if they for donald trump per say, but asked, do you currently followed donald trump on social media and were putting up some of these right here, or have you done so in the past, have you a relative . Close friend, ever worked or volunteered for the trump president ial to trump president ial administration or any other political entity involved in affiliated. Do you have any strong opinion or firmly held beliefs . Its about former President Donald Trump or the fact that he is a current candidate for president , that would interfere with your ability to be a fair and impartial jury . For Katelyn Polantz is highlighted that last question seems to be a critical one, how is this going to work . Yes absolutely. And, you know, sort of like that certainly internet asked me about my politics without telling me youre asking me about my politics and thats in effect whats, whats happening here now, its not uncommon at all. Kate and Jury Selection just sort of Ask Questions to get around and issue. So for instance, you might ask a juror what magazines you read, what Television Shows do you watch . What even might your Zip Code Being . All of these questions can be used to get at various forms of data about a juror and ultimately how they might rule. Now, that last question you showed that clause about that would get in your way of being a fair, impartial juror is a very important question. And no matter what any juror says, the judges ultimately going to ask them. Okay. Youve said you belong to q and a hunter, whatever else. Can you put that aside and be a fair and impartial juror . And if the judge is convinced that the person can than perhaps they can be added to the jury pool. But that those words fair and impartial juror will keep coming up again and again and again, even for some folks who are sort of on the bubble in either direction, either sort of Pro Prosecution or pro defense. Yeah. Kind of kaylin described it as like Self Declaration of not being able to get asked it. But then beyond that, that when it gets to the art of Jury Selection, because then thats going to be left up to how how how it all pans out if theres something more behind what the juror might be saying, elliott. Thank you. Its great to see you. John. Thank you all right. So no matter how much Lindsey Graham tries and look, we know here hes tried for years and years. Donald trumps still find new ways to demean in the new smack down this morning over abortion. And then happening now its Jennifer Crumbley.

Hydrozoa alvarez at the white house. And this is cnn all, right. Knew this morning as the house returns to work today, i knew effort by republican Marjorie Taylor greene to oust House Speaker mike johnson. She just said two letter republican colleagues saying in part quote, he is throwing our own razor thin majority into chaos by not serving his own gop conference that elected him seen lauren fox is with us now on capitol hill. How serious is Marjorie Taylor greene about this well, shes certainly not going away and shes ramping up well of her complaints against speaker mike johnson. This comes as we are waiting to see whether or not she really moves forward with this effort to try and oust him from the speakership. But this new fivepage letter acquired for by our colleague, annie grayer lays out to her colleagues explicitly why she thinks mike johnson isnt up to the job and she talks about the passage of those series of Spending Bills through the fall into the winter. And now just a few weeks ago, she also lays concerns about the direction that the speaker is moving when it comes to additional aid for ukraine. She also calls him out for what he is doing to try and advance legislation to renew section 702 of the federal Intelligence Surveillance act, something that has divided republicans within the conference. But Marjorie Taylor greene, naturalist writing this letter, she also held a town hall in her district last night in georgia. Heres what she was saying about Speaker Johnson. There how dare our own speaker that we elected pass that Spending Bill and not do anything for that Border Nothing its horrid. Its hard i will not tolerate a speaker of the house that i voted for to sell us out a not tolerate it now, she is not explicitly saying what would trigger an effort by her to try and oust Speaker Johnson, but its clearly weighing on this speaker as the house of representatives returns today, we still have not seen details of what he plans to do when it comes to additional aid. For ukraine. Hes floated a series. Ive ideas, im told that hes still having conversations with his colleagues, in part because this threat is looming large, john yeah, itll be interesting to see you mean there is a difference between a sternly worded letter and action on the house floor. We will see if it crosses from one area into the other. Lauren fox lets thank you very much okay. Joining us now is cnn political commentator and democratic strategist Maria Cardona, and republican strategist and host of the focus Group Podcast cast sarah longwell. Thanks for being here guys. Its sarah. What do republicans do with this continued fight over the speakership and fight over ukraine aid. What do you see here . Yeah, this is a nightmare for republicans and its interesting because normally these kinds of fights are between republicans and democrats. But this byte is not between the two parties. It is between the old guard of the gop and the new guard of the gop, which Marjorie Taylor greene represents and frankly, she represents a lot a voters. Theres a reason that she feels emboldened to push forward with this, despite the fact that it would further caucus in the chaos. And its because she knows that there is almost half of the Republican Party when it comes to voters that do not want to see ukraine any more ukraine funding. But there were also a lot of Republican Voters and were running a Campaign In Dc right now using the voices of Republican Voters that are urging republicans to support ukraine. And so the Republican Party is really split on this, and she holds a ton of power, not just because shes got a big microphone and people are listening to her. And frankly, because she might not stop until she becomes the next speaker of the house, but also because theres just no margin here for mike johnson, hes got two choices. Hes got to play ball with the likes of Marjorie Taylor greene, or hes got to work with democrats and neither of them are good choices whatsoever right . Sarah standby with me if everyone can hear us that there were seemed you have be having some technical issue, i if not been able to hear some of what sarah was saying, theyre going to take a quick break, try to work all of this out.

M. On tbs all right the grim ones have been fixed for now. Lets pick back up with our political conversation with Maria Cardona and sarah longwell. What we were talking about is this Inter Party Fight of republicans Marjorie Taylor greene taking on the Republican House speaker potentially for this speakership, a lot of the centering around ukraine aid, but sarah is making the point, maria, that this is also about the old guard of the Republican Party versus the new guard. Add this to the conversation for your take. Greg meeks was just on leading democrat, whos just on with me and hes pulled me if it came draft would reach out to him and say, i need your vote to support to keep Speaker Johnson in the seat. He would do it. His reasoning is ukraine aid is so important to get done now and not later. Should democrats help save johnson . Well, i think that i think its certainly true that there are democrats that are leaning towards that because the majority of democrats also understand how important you rein aid is, not just to the National Security of the country by two, the democracy of the world. If you will and i think that moving forward, if that happens, there will be conditions on it. Right . I mean, Speaker Johnson isnt a conundrum and sarah is right. This is more about what the fissures are between and within the publican party. Its always what democrats have said, what a speaker within that conference is going to face their maga Extremis Versus the common sense republicans right now, the Maga Extremists Have One Battle After battle, after battle. And thats why youre seeing a Marjorie Taylor greene now going after Speaker Johnson. But he understands that in order to get anything done, he does need democrats help. And what i think this this portrays for the election is that this gives democrats the ability to message really, what a Dumpster Fire the Republican Leadership has been within the republican congress. And that because of those fissures, because of that tension between the maga extremists who really do have a lot of power. Theyre not able to govern and more so, Marjorie Taylor greene has no interest in governing, has no interest in solving the problems. She wants purity, plain and simple, and thats why she has filed those papers to try to get rid of Speaker Johnson. And so democrats are saying this is not what americans voted for. This is republican Dumpster Fire. They do not deserve to be leading. They have no interest in doing so, dont know how to give democrats of power and we will solve the problems that the country is facing. Lets talk about one of the major issues of this cycle in congressional races and in the president ial sarah is abortion Donald Trumps position that he announced is that he wants it to be up to the states conservative republicans are not happy with that. We heard that from antiabortion shouldnt activists, mike pence called his position that he announced a slap in the face. Lindsey graham says he respectfully disagrees with trump, saying that trump should have come out to support federal ban. Would donald trump though, says, sarah, is that by allowing the states to make their decision, we have taken the Abortion Issue largely out of play. Has it . I dont. Know that hes taken, it largely out of play. I do think that donald trump is unique in the way that he is not beholden to some of the same factions that other republicans have been in the past i mean, Evangelical Christians and people for whom abortion is central to their political identity have already basically made it clear that theyll go along with whatever donald trump says. And i do focus groups all the time with Republican Voters, trump voters and the fact is a lot of them are prochoice many of them say things like, well, look, im prolife, but i believe in a womans right to choose. And so donald trump is using general election mode and he knows that this is a toxic issue for them and the best issue that democrats have in the general election and so hes trying to neutralize it and its one of the things that trump actually does kind of well, because no voter thinks that trump is very prolife. We hear from voters all the time that they see him as somebody who voters say this is not me, say that he is somebody who wouldve paid for an abortion. They dont see him as being somebody with sexual for morality, like a mike pence would be. And so i think donald trump is trying to basically say, look, im out here to win this election, and who donald trump is, right . He doesnt have any real principles this is about power for himself and he knows that this is a tough issue for them. And so hes trying to sort of have it both ways. For sure. I spoke with the doctor out of wisconsin who is now running as a democrat for congress. This is a seat vacated by longheld by a republican, Mike Gallagher you again, shes running as a republican. Shes a doctor. She wants to make abortion a central issue like joebiden does. And i asked her in wisconsin if she wants to joe biden to come and help her campaign, let me play for you. What she said im really focused on my campaign and im really focused on getting out and talking with the people, hearing what the people want to see, the issues that im hearing are they dont have enough resources to put food on the table. They cant put gas in their car. Theyre having a hard time paying their our health care bills. Those are the things that people here care about and thats really what were going to focus on maria, you know, every election is local for sure, but you also really dont hear her saying, i would like the top of the ticket, the current pressing United States to come help me. Thats not surprising, especially because she is running in a seat that was vacated by republican. We see that all the time. I think the core issue here though kate is how critical and powerful the Reproductive Rights Issue is for democrats, not just going into this election, but ever since the Dobbs Decision demo lets have overperformed the midterm elections. As you remember, everyone was saying its over but it didnt surprise me. But because ive talked to so many people on the ground, including kate republican women who told me in 2022 and they are not leaving the stance that they will vote for a democrat because they will not want to raise their children, their daughters in a country where they have less rights than what the moms did and so this has been such a Galvanizing Issue and what donald trump did absolutely literally did not take this out of play. In fact, what democrats are now saying, which is true given his words, he has now supporting the most egregious and dangerous bands in the 20 plus states that have them right now, where one out of three women of reproductive age live, that puts women in danger the reproductive futures and dangerous, thats a huge Lee Motivating message for democrats, also resident of florida, where theres a huge question on how far the band is Gonna Go In Florida thats what your question as well.

What does this settlement cover . Athena hi, john. Well, youll remember that that terrible derailment also set spelled millions of pounds of those toxic, hazardous chemicals into the water and the soil this has meant to remedy some of that 600 milliontlement still has to be Approvedy A Urt but if it is approved, it would resolve all class action claim within a 20mile radius. And for residents who participate, it would resolve all personal injury claims within a ten mile radius so they could use this money for their health care needs. For medical monitoring to deal with net Business Losses and the like this is something that the plaintiffs say theyre going to file a petition to put before a judge to have this approved within the next ten days. And if it is approved once it is approved, this money could start being paid out by the end of this year and this is important because number one, this is one of several class action lawsuits. But as i mentioned, 20 mile radius will settle. Many of those claims. But this is something that really traumatized the community. They had to be evacuated. There was a controversial controlled burn of these toxic substances that had this plume of smoke in the air for three days. So these are people who have been traumatized by this event and are seeking compensation. This is one of as ive said, several cases and its an addition to the more than 100 million the company he has already spent to try to help the community with direct payments to residents, to businesses, and the like.
