Ahead. fast-forward to today, the golden state is now more broke than ever. how broke? $27 billion in debt. so how does one state lose more than $120 billion and a couple of years? well it is actually easier than you think. let s start with the homeless crisis. an audit from april revealed the california lost track of $24 billion that they had spent to end homelessness. what has the money been spent on? we are working on finalizing the annual report and hope to have that published in short order. weiser taking three years to get data? the system was in clement in 2021. it began in 2021, it was not fully implemented until 2022r. that is still two years ago. why is it taking so you re the one who said it s urgent. may be my sense of urgency is different from your sense of urgency. you can tell us at all, how many people we have helped r.

To require person to undergo a psychological evaluation. and given how unhinged and incoherent donald trump has been in speaking publicly that kind of an evaluation might be merited because, for example, he could be dementing so these are all kinds of information that a judge needs to make an informed a reasonable, and objective as best one can sentencing in any instance and particularly in this case yeah, a lot of things for the judge to weigh here. judge, it was great to have you here tonight. thank you for joining us. thank you. and here in studio with me, defense attorney and jury consultant, we re not us to beale and also retired judge george grosso has been 13 years as a judge in new york city and also was there every single day of the trial when we re talking about what the pre-sentencing report that came out today that they said yes. todd blanche had come in, but this other posts that the judge flag to the two parties about this person
Tonight. the judge who is overseeing his hush money case, justice juan merchan, says he will allow trump s lead attorney, todd blanche, to attend an interview before trump is sentenced here in new york on july 11, typically, the defendant would meet one-on-one with a probation officer without an attorney present for this pre-sentencing investigation. but trump is now a law allowed to bring todd blanche along. and here s why that matters. the information that is gathered from that interview was quite quite important. it all goes into what s known as a pre-sentence report to help the judge your decide the defendant s punishment. and for trump, as we know, that could very well mean jail. but also tonight, the judge did something else. he flagged a facebook post from last month to both the prosecution and the defense now, the person who made this post, this poster claim to be a cousin of a juror. and they wrote that their cousin told them trump was going to be convicted. now there is no
$150,000 in current dollar currency. so he was getting another salary from a rich friend. it was an enormous controversy at the time, as you can see from that a nightly news clip. fordyce was even on track to become chief justice on the supreme court before his career was derailed by a number of ethics scandals. most damning was when he agreed to the 20,000 legal retainer for life to provide unspecified counsel to financier lewis wilson. at the time, wilson was already under investigation for security fraud. he was ultimately convicted a year later and served nine months in prison. again, this was, correctly, a huge deal. you can t have a justice sitting on the supreme court, even though he did not violate any laws, as the report indicated, be dependent on the largess of some rich buddy.
Much trump s other cases could factor into this thank you for having me on caitlin so it is unusual, but not uncommon for a person who has been convicted of a crime to have a lawyer with that person and usually it it s the person who has enough money to pay for a lawyer to come sit for all the time it takes to do the interview. but understand this is a pre-sentence report, as you said, sentencing when it comes before the judge, basically has three goals. the judge has to decide a punishment on punishment, decide on whether or not the sentence can be rehabilitative. and also deter the person from engaging in the conduct again, and deter others from engaging in that kind of conduct. so in order to do it, the judge needs to know as much as possible about the defendant, and also about those who are impacted the victims. so that s why we have this
Evidence that this is real, that this person is actually at all related to a real juror who was inside that room i should note the individual who is posting this personally describes themselves as a trash poster basically an online troll. but none of that context tonight appears to matter to trump s republican allies, who quickly seized on it. look at this senator marsha blackburn posted, we all know trump s trial was decided before it even began. witch hunt and all caps. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene said, quote, the fix was in from the beginning. and congressman jim banks called it, quote, a mistrial in all caps my first source tonight spent nearly 20 years on the bench of the california superior court. retired judge with doris hazard cordell is back here with us. and judge, let s get to that in a moment. but first on this pre-sentencing report typically, convicted defendant would meet one-on-one with a probation officer without their attorney. there what do you make of this decision and how
