girlfriend and alleged predator and supplier of girls, ghislaine maxwell. monica lindstrom is a former prosecutor and defense attorney, and she joins us now. first of all, on the criminal business, monica, do you think any of these -- any potential criminal cases against ghislaine maxwell or anybody else are actually going to go anywhere, or is that just all going to fade away now? >> i think with law enforcement being so zeroed in and focused on this epstein investigation, that it's very possible that criminal charges could come out against the coconspirators and others involved. there has been talk about the 2007 plea agreement that epstein signed that allegedly, basically gave immunity to his coconspirators. that plea agreement has a lot of issues, and it might end up getting thrown out, so that might be the only hurdle that
two west memphis police officers during a routine traffic stop. >> the other one were in the ditch. >> these guys shot a police officer. jon: monica lindstrom, is a criminal defense attorney. fred tecce, a former federal prosecutor. talk about the case. the las vegas case in particular. it almost sounds like a comedy until you see that footage from memphis, for instance. that's awful. >> it extremely sad. not even close to being a comedy. this is so incredibly sad. the first thing i would do is look at these two's competency and where they're coming from. we might think it is all good because they had an elaborate plan for a long time. something has to be broken inside their head when we look at something like this. jon: are we looking potential of insanity defense, fred. >> no they have a better chance to go to the moon. bottom line, these are knuckleheads. don't like plan to can kill
the famous father of northwest it's important to know the l.a. county district attorney's office declined to file charges against him and referred the issue to the city. with us now, monica lindstrom. i don't know where to begin here. you know, seeing him there, tearfully reading the paper with gloria allred dutifully at his side, really almost made me cry crocodile tears. the poor photographer. >> it was so overly dramatic, it was ridiculous. if he truly is a paparazzo, this should not have been a surprise to him at all. i can see kanye push this as far as he can to make a statement. s you know, the legislation is being created and is out there to protect the celebrities from paparazzi and instances such as this and that legislation would be good to protect both sides of the coin here. so i could definitely see kanye pushing it further. probably not a really strong
all right. a lot of people talking about this one. the american paralympic gold medalist swimmer who is now banned from competing in this week's montreal games. the international paralympic committee told victoria arlen that her disability may not be permanent. therefore, they deemed her ineligible to compete in the world championship games. arlen was paralyzed from the waist down seven years ago because of a neurological disorder to her spine. but she is one of the most dominating figures in her sport. a world record setting swimmer. arlen says she is heartbroken that she is being -- this is her words -- penalized for having hope that she'll one day walk again. we have to talk about this with former prosecutor monica lindstrom, legal analyst at avo.kom. lisa blum, ladies, let me just first read this ipc statement. quote, the medical report has been reviewed by five
new developments today in the case of a 19-year-old woman who faces 15 years in prison if convicted for having sex with a 14-year-old girl. florida prosecutors are waiting for katelyn hunt to accept a new plea deal that would keep her out of jail and keep her from having to register as a sex offender. keep in mind, this is the second plea deal they have offered before going to trial. but it still includes a felony charge. according to our affiliate wptv, hunt's mother says if the state would offer the plea deal without the felony, she would 100% advice kate to take it. hunt who was 18 at the time when she was charged, says her relationship with the girl was consensual. let's talk about this with former prosecutor monica lindstrom. legal analyst lisa blum. ladies, welcome. lisa, first to you. what do you think of hunt's mother's advice? no deal with the felony charge in there? >> she's hanging tough on behalf
the prosecution lessening the charges after promising to fight for conviction? >> it's appropriate. when you're a prosecutor and you have to come up with a plea agreement or a plea offer, you have to think about the victim, the defendant, the deterrence factor and office policies. it's very appropriate. like lisa said, 15 years is just ridiculous. then again, if this was a man people would be screaming for closer to that 15 years than probation and able to erase it off of her record. that's another thing, brooke. this plea gives her the opportunity to erase this off her record down the road. that's significant. >> this is all just according to our affiliate that she rejected this second plea deal. lisa blum, monica lindstrom, thank you both very much. on the case today. coming up next, new video just into us here at cnn of a woman giving birth on the hospital floor. it couldn't wait. wait until you hear who came to the rescue. the great outdoors, and a great deal.
and does not allow her to compete. it's unfortunate, but if that's what the rules say, then they should look for a way to maybe change the rules for the future. >> i feel like, lisa, this sounds like the case from last hour where you were saying the law is the law. it may be tough but it's the law of the land. again, rules are rules. >> right. well, and look, you have to respect that the paralympics needs to make rules about who is disabled and who is not. you don't want somebody who's a completely able-bodied person competing against disabled people. there are so many different degrees of disability. but if i were representing her, i might argue that her condition is permanent anyway. the rule doesn't say 100% permanent. the word "permanent" might allow a little leeway for some glimmer of hope in the future. doctors never like to say anything is 100% or 0%. the fact they're leaving open a little bit of possibility in the future shouldn't bar her from participating. >> okay. maybe there's hope after all for her to compete. monica lindstrom, lisa blum, thank you, ladies, both very much for joining me today.
schreiber, just said if a woman. does not have certainty about her child and you can come back at any point in time and ask for legal rights to the child, why would any woman theny a sperm donor in the first place? testimony is still going on right now in sacramento. >> shepard: let's bring in family law attorney, monica lindstrom. it's not as if this woman went out to a sperm donor and got somebody at random or somebody she didn't know. this is her boyfriend. and this guy was acting as father. maybe they didn't have the paperwork there but they had this child together, though through artificial inseptember nation now they break up and it's not as if we're talking about guy who has been in legal trouble or moral problems. seems like a guy who might be a pretty good father and she is denying that child the opportunity to have a father. that seems a little wrong. >> itself really does because when you look at the factual
