>> we seen the press release, but do we have the filing itself? and if not, do we know when we'll get it? >> don't have it yet .but we know that the court-martial will be in his home base up in tacoma, washington, but we don't have the official charging documents. that's why we can't answer the question of what's that 17th charge. >> okay, i know we're work on it. appreciate it there in kansas. i do want to go many, many thousand miles away to afghanistan where we have stand kabul. thi since news of the charges, there's already been reaction from afghanistans, specifically the taliban. what have they said? >> it's true. we got a message specifically i got a message sent to me by e-mail from a commander from the taliban. and i just want to read it, the top part of it says the taliban will take strong revenge for the punjwi incident, and many other crimes from the american soldiers. we do not believe in these american courts and reject the decision of these courts. the courts are not reliable. so that is the response from the taliban as these charges are coming down i want to speak to the discrepancy as what the afghans say is 16 people who were killed and six people who were injured. we have the list of the dead right here. the full names of the dead who are injured. all six are expected to survive. we still va v that number 16 when we're hearing from the international security forces that they are looking at charging mr. bales with 17 counts of murder. we asked why that was. why there was a discrepancy. and they say they believe they have evidence of 17 murders. brook? just reacting, 17 counts of murder. six attempted, what's your reaction? >> it's obviously the monstrous crime. they have two immediate priorities. first is delay. get this case on the slow track because people are still highly exercised about it. it's a major military foreign policy. is bales is a very damageds man psychologically. he's not fully responsible for his own actions. that might take the form of an insanity defense, but more likely as mitigation to save him from the death penalty. that's what his lawyers are going to be thinking about, proving he does not deserve to be executed. that's his only priority. >> all these terms are being thrown about. not a lot of people know. we talk about article 32, the evidentiary hearing. i want to be specific. i know this is a group of mental health expert. uh's roughly analogous to article 32, sort of like a grand jury, which moves it to an indictment. then there's an evaluation of his mental state. and given that the defense has something to work with, the fact that he had a serious head injury, that may be what gets this case to a resolution that involves something other than executi execution. he's not going anywhere. he's not being released. he's not going to get acquitted in any, you know, understandable sense. but they're going to try. >> i think he faces the mental health board even before the article 32. even if they deem him not mentally capable to go on to an article 32, let alone a court-martial, then what? >> well, then he waits. then they treat him and try to get him healthy enough to stand trial. it's somewhat analogous to what's going on with the shooter in those awful tucson murders where congressman giffords was injured. there she's awaiting to stand trial, but is he fit to stand trial? a military version of that kind of inquiry is what's going to on go on with bale. >> what do you make of this attorney coming forward saying look, there isn't that much forensic evidence, what do you make of that? >> i think this is in a very early stage. this is going to be very difficult for the military to bring the evidence because gathering the evidence in afghanistan means going into a war sooen where there are a lot of people who want to skill americans. this thereby extremely dangerous. bales can say hey, you're accusing me of murder, prove it. where's the forensics? where's the evidence that i did that. and this is going to be extremely difficult. i don't think it's going to be impossible, but the military is likely to spend years pulling this case together. >> we keep hearing this could take years and years. why is that? why not just let justice be served in a swift but orderly fashion. >> in the american legal system, civilian or military, due process takes a lot of time. and here, when you're gathering evidence thousands of miles away in an extremely dangerous place, that's difficult and it takes time. you have issues of bales' mental state, psychological and psychiatric investigations. those take time. and all of this means at least months and perhaps even a year or two if until you're looking at a trial. >> jeff toobin, appreciate your expertise as always. >> we have gotten word that a tornado is on the ground in louisville, kentucky. i don't know if that's parts of a home, who knows what that is. trees down, we've got more on that next. ♪ ♪ and the flowers and the trees all laugh when you walk by ♪ ♪ and the neighbors' kids... what does being true to yourself have to do with being healthy? everything. ♪ but you're not ♪ you're the one ♪ one, one, one, one, one ♪ the one ♪ one, one, one, one, one ♪ the one ♪ one, one, one... do about medicare and social security... security. that's what matters to me... me?

[ male announcer ] aarp is bringing the conversation on medicare and social security out from behind closed doors in washington. because you've earned a say. quaker oats. in every way, a super grain. ♪ super for the fiber that helps fill us up. super for the energy it gives to get us going. super for the oats that are so good for our hearts. ♪ super for how it makes us... super. quaker oats. energy. fiber. heart health. super people eat super grains. [ male announcer ] engine light on? come to meineke now for a free code scan read and you'll say...my money. my choice. my meineke. >> what appears to be tornado damage in kentucky right now. these are south from louisville. are there tornadoes on the ground? >> it was a two-story house and now it's a one-story house. and the top story is still standing. the bottom story collapsed. it was kind of a brief -- and this is what we're going to have today. a three-minute tornado. there wasn't a warning on it before the public spotted the tornado. a warning came out saying the public has spotted tornadoes, take cover now. they're small, they're quick and they can come and they can go. there are a couple of storms i'm still concerned about. that storm was right just to the south and southeast of louisville. there's a storm and just to the south of the river, this storm is rotate right there. there's not a tornado warning on it yet, but evans chil, you could have a storm for you. under the gun. if you're near zenia, illinois, take cover right now. no confirmation that it still is, but no confirmation that it has lessened its spin either. i assume that it's still a big deal. >> president obama comes out and comments on the florida teen by the volunteer. president obama said his main message today was for trey van more taken's parents. take a look at this. >> if i had a son, he would look like trayvon. i think we all have a right to expect that we're going to get to the bottom of what happened. >> what are the parents of trayvon martin saying? >> that response came out almost immediately after the president's very heart felt remarks there. >> the president's personal comments touched us deeply and made us wonder, if his son wore a hoodie, would he be suspicious, too? they went on to say, we would like to thank the president and the millions of people from around the world who have shown their support for trayvon by participating in hoodie marches, rallies or through social media. we are all working together to not only get justice for trayvon, but also ensure that this kind of senseless tragedy doesn't happen to another child. that was their response. >> what is the prosecutor tasked to do? >> we spoke to their office in jacksonville and they are telling us that they're just now getting their feet on the ground. they're just now starting to gather facts. you don't necessarily need a grand jury to arrest somebody. so, you know, they may, dmending on what facts come up, determine where this case goes. and if there were a grand jury that would be necessary, it would be the grand jury from seminole county, but it would be these special prosecutors under angela davis who would handle the case. brook? >> and finally, what about this security guard, george zimmerman? any word yet sfr him? >> no, not one bit. every one that we've talked to, people who know him say that zimmerman is, you know, in the wind, is the way they put it right now. i believe, you know, that certainly is the police department, the city officials know how to reach him, know how to get in touch with him if need be. but no one else has come forward saying they know where george zimmerman is. and certainly no one has seen him that we know of. brooke? >> thanks, john. a popular online kid from texas is accused of murder. the sheriff in this county talks to us live about how mr. anime was captured and his chilling plans before potentially a massive tragedy. [ male announcer ] this one goes out to all the allergy muddlers. you know who you are. you can part a crowd, without saying a word. you have yet to master the quiet sneeze. you stash tissues like a squirrel stashes nuts. well, muddlers, muddle no more. try zyrtec®. it gives you powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin® because zyrtec® starts working at hour 1 on the first day you take it. claritin® doesn't start working until hour 3. zyrtec®. love the air. >> he's known as mr. anime, his youtube videos have been watched millions of times. >> hi. i'm mr. anime here. >> but he's much more than a student of japanese style animation. >> oh, ho uh you doing, everyone? it's mr. anime. you can call me the guy that does all the gun stuff now. >> all the gun stuff now. yeah, according to police in texas, this guy studied murder before becoming a mass killer. the 22-year-old is now in jail. and a suicide watch. he is charged with gunning down his schoolteacher father, mother and younger brother at his family home. hoe also admitted to shooting animals, businesses and setting fires. and he had plan to do much, much more. he admitted to studying several killers and researching mass shootings in public areas that included but not limited toth columbine shooting incident. he had thoughts of committing some act of public violence such as these. >> excellent work on catching someone who obviously intended to skauz harm. he studied serial killers to the points of giving him grades? what was his intent? what did we learn about it? >> well, during the investigation and of course, certainly still ongoing but he took what he felt like was the top eight serial killers, traded about what act they took. but he also did all kinds of mass shootings, just like the columbine shooting and other school events. but ning his mind, he was just trying to see what he could do in the future to outdo them. >> you've described him in terms of his psyche yop pu said he's classic in escalating behavior. what do you mean by that? >> he started at a younger age, killing animal, personal pets. he moved from that to shooting large animals. >> he talked about setting a few small grass fires. he took rifles, shot at buildings at various times in the middle of the night when they were obviously closed. it's just a typical starting with small activity and bidding up in the mind set to commit some horrific act. >> it's also clear, he did ultimately -- this is a man to ultimately confessed to killing his mother, brother and father and he skribed, why did i do this? i love my mom, dad and brother after doing this. is he showing any remorse in custody, sir? >> well, there is signs of remorse, or at least he's displaying that. >> there there's times tears have been shown. there he's sip serely remorseful, it's hard to say right now. the investigators, we've got a great team of texas rangers, awe cysting all others these are the backgrounds and interviews. we're trying to figure out about this person. thank you, sir. coming up, one woman gets ouft of jury duty. one woman actually does it by allegedly faking a mental disorder. then she goes on the radio and brags about it. but you're never going to believe who overheard her on the radio -- the judge. [ male announcer ] this is the network -- a living, breathing intelligence teaching data how to do more for business. [ beeping ] in here, data knows what to do. because the network finds it and tailors it across all the right points, automating all the right actions... [ beeping ] ...to bring all the right results. it's the at&t network -- doing more with data to help business do more for customers. ♪ wow. this is new. yep, i'm sending the dancing chicken to every store in the franchise to get the word out. that could work. or you could use every door direct mail from the postal service. it'll help you and all your franchisees find the customers that matter most -- the ones in the neighborhood. you print it or we'll help you find a local partner. great. keep it moving, honey. honey? that's my wife. wow. there you go. there you go. [ male announcer ] go online to reach every home, every address, every time with every door direct mail. >> there's a mother in california who hasn't seen her 15-year-old daughter in a week. police have now found her bag in a field two miles from her home. in it, her neatly folded pants and t-shirt. over the week, they found her cell phone and neither investigators say it's offering up any leads. let's go straight to our legal analysts on the case with us today. again, the fbi is now involved? what are do you read into that now that you hear that? >> it's difficult to tell what to read into it. i mean, the fbi spokesperson has confirmed that the fbi has been involved and has been called in to help the investigation. brooke, we know that on thursday, they were seen looking through things, but that's about all we know. so it's hard to determine. usually if you have federal authorities involved, sometimes it's involving different states, right? so perhaps the teen crossing another state. but there's no indication of that since a lot of the search has focused near the home. so we're not sure why the fbi is involved. but we know the fbi is involved. >> i know there have been questions early on, you know, whether or not this young girl had run away. another layer is that her father, he is a registered sex offender. do investigators at all think he might be involved in her disappearance? >> no, they don't. and they don't believe he's involved. he has issued a statement asking people not to infer anything from his past. what's also interesting here is that the parents, of course, are saying that she was certainly abducted. she had a good relationship with her family, that she is not a runaway. and authorities have confirmed that as of the day she was miss, she hasn't b been using her twitter and her facebook account. so many people suspect that this is an abduction and not a situation of a runaway. >> okay, we'll fol lee that, next to this story that might possibly be my favorite story of the day. we get caughted to be on jury duty and a lot of people think gosh, can i get out of it? this woman in colorado lies to get out of jury duty, goes on the radio, brags about it. the judge actually was listening to the radio program and charged susan cole with felony perjury. here's a clip of the radio show. >> i put bright red lipstick on, i put my hair in curlers and put on a t-shirt that said ask me about my best seller. i said yeah, i mental issues. i'm not an educated woman. i broke the law, i don't know what i did. >> there are so many directions which we can go here. file this under don't do this? >> that's right. >> why a felony? not a misdemeanor? >> felony misdemeanor is a serious charge. it's serious to tlie to a judge and to a prosecutor. i remember interviewing people and telling them right off the bat, if you lie to me you've lied to a felony law enforcement penalty. having been a prosecutor and interviewed so many jurors, i often thought there was a lot of feigning gone onka those juries. people dressed up. she went a step further, though, which is why she's being charged. not only did she dress up, she wore mismatched shoes, reindeer socks but then she also claimed to have post traumatic stress disorder. so lying to the judge in addition to what she was wear i think is what put this and put her in felony land. i think what's so interesting is that this jury duty voir dire happened in july of 2011. it wasn't until october that she got on the dave logan show and talked about it. and who knew the very judge that she had been before was listening at the same time. so i think this may be my favorite story of the day as well, brooke. >> reindeer socks. i love it. sunny hostin, great weekend to you. >> happy friday. meantime, president obama gets heckled. >> and when you ask them what specifically is your -- sir, i'm here to speak to these folks. >> find out who heckled him and what they were hoping to do with that. what else you've got to hear the president said to the heckler. they didn't take a dime. how much in fees does your bank take to watch your money ? if your bank takes more money than a stranger, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. you know who you are. you can part a crowd, without saying a word. you have yet to master the quiet sneeze. you stash tissues like a squirrel stashes nuts. well, muddlers, muddle no more. try zyrtec®. it gives you powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin® because zyrtec® starts working at hour 1 on the first day you take it. claritin® doesn't start working until hour 3. zyrtec®. love the air. here's a chance to create jobs in america. oil sands projects, like kearl, and the keystone pipeline will provide secure and reliable energy to the united states. over the coming years, projects like these could create more than half a million jobs in the us alone. from the canadian border, through the mid west, to the gulf coast. benefiting hundreds of thousands of families throughout the country. this is just what our economy needs right now. "political pop" here. in case you're curious, if you try to interrupt the president during a speech, he's going to call you out. he was giving his energy policies at ohio state university yesterday. while he was up there this guy in the crowd was repeatedly yelling. take a look at what happened next. >> and when you ask them what specifically is your -- sir, i'm here to speak to these folks you can hold your own realm. you're being rude. [ applause ] >> i'll be happy to read your book. if you want to give it to me, i'll read it, but don't interrupt my conversation with these folks. >> and the political weapon of choice in the republican presidential race. moments after a mitt romney aid compared his candidate to an etch-a-sketch on wednesday, rick an store rum and newt gingrich jumped on the comments and then these toys bopping up all week long with these candidates. here it is, rick santorum made this eye-opening comment suggesting if he is not the republican nominee, the u.s. should stick with president obama. >> if things aren't going to be different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the etch-a-sketch candidate for the future. san
