in new orleans and there were people everywhere. people in suits you didn't know who the defenders were, you didn't know who the prosecutors were and you knew who the clients were because they were shackled on the seats. the judge started calling names and in the next second he would call another name and you heard voices, that would be the voice speaking for the person. a lawyer never stood next to the client and then the judge calls a name and there was no voice and he says is there mr. so and so here? he says i'm here. >> he says where is your lawyer? i haven't seen my lawyers since 70 days ago. what had been shocked to me for a man who had been locked for more than 70 days, nobody knew that. they had been used to a system, a level of expectation for poor people and the kind of justice they deserve. they become so used to it that they accepted it. that gave me this idea that we need to start a movement, it needs to be a movement of public defenders who get it so we started building gideon's promise by creating young defenders fro

don ostrem joins us outside the courthouse in new orleans. what happened so far in court today? >> reporter: well, this trial right now is a lunch recess, thomas, but the first witness called was dr. john wilson. he is a professor at the new mexico institute of mining and technology. that's an engineering university. he testified against bp in the first phase of this trial, which is set to determine if bp did enough to stem the flow of oil after that explosion. oil gushed into the gulf of mexico for 87 days starting in april of 2010. wilson concluded in his testimony that bp repeatedly underestimated the amount of oil flowing into the gulf saying that bp's number they released to the government, media awere around 5,000 barrels a day when their own internal e-mails estimated it was as much as 55,000 barrels a day and the first method they used to cap the well would not have worked with the flow rate that high. wilson said his examination of charts and e-mails internally at bp that they were keeping the higher numbers from the government, the press and the public. his testimony f

you represent new orleans, but you're in louisiana. there's such a gap between how people in urban communities as opposed to rural communities, particularly in the south, look at gun laws and what need to be done to protect citizens. >> well, i think that's true, but i think that mayor nutter and i along with mayor manuel and other mayors are saying, listen, there's a culture of violence that's developed on the streets of america. and it is about guns, but it's not just about guns. it's about poverty, but it's not just about poverty. when you think about the number of people that have been killed on the streets of america since 1980, it's staggering. 626,000 people have been killed. that's more people than have been killed in all the wars combined. what's happening on the streets are young african-american men are being killed at catastrophic rates. because they're being killed at different times, it doesn't really rise to it the level of being a national problem. i think that what mayor nutter and those of us are now saying is, listen

i mean i think that in new orleans they learned. hospitals are about power and water. you need to have that. and we lost that in new york. and it was crazy to see after all the lessons we should have learned from katrina, that again we're seeing babies being carried down darkened staircase, so yes we've got infrastructure all over this country whether it's been, you know, tornado alley, hospitals up to code, earthquake zones. you know, when i'm going to be checked into a hospital f i have something that needs to be done, i want to ask. so we need to be asking tough questions about our hospitals. we need to be asking tough questions of our government, about regulations that maybe need to be strengthened that our government has said after katrina, need to be strengthened. still haven't been released all these years later. so we have major things to learn and that's why i wrote this five day the a memorial. >> jon: if you asked, if i go into the hospital and say to them, like, so how's your generator situation. >> yes, ask them. >> jon: you can't get someone to see you le

see it at the world trade center as well, a wealthy center that does not have new orleans poverty. they're still in disputes over who has authority to plan the rebuilding. i think, given everything we know about san francisco, we can expect that we're highly likely to have a big question over who has the authority to make decisions.çóÑi ñr andÑi clearing that up is one of the most important things we can do today to prepare for rebuilding after a disaster. >> have we seen any occasion that we're headed toward that? have you -- >> oh, no. this conversation has absolutely not even begun to happen yet. >> it's starting right now,Ñi here. >> yeah. >> to things like the tunnels that people anticipate that probably wouldn't be practical right now. i mean, transit upgrades and, you know, sewage line upgrades and power lineÑi upgrades, allf that is something that, you know, you would likely look at during that time. but again, if you don't have some sort of group of people who are already talking about that, orleans is still relatively unfixed. >> you can do what happened in '06, ju
