to thank you for coming. >> lawrence was visibly affected by mrs. tuthill. when the two of them spoke, what was so interesting to me was lawrence wanted to make her feel better. >> you know, you said you couldn't protect her. i don't believe that. i believe you protected her and it was just someone else's violence that caused what happened. you protected her more than you knew. and you're still protecting her today, doing this. giving of yourself to people who don't deserve it. >> she took comfort in what lawrence was saying. and i think it made him feel somewhat better to be able to give her some type of comfort. >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you. >> but i also think her sharing of that story helped lawrence get in touch with the people he had victimized. >> lawrence, how were you changed by miss tuthill's talk? >> um, i don't -- i just -- i don't know how -- i don't know how to explain it. i really don't. it's deeper than words can ever be said. i don't know if i'll ever -- if i'll ever have that kind of opportunity. and just to be honest, i d

>> scared to death. >> my first impression of lawrence stall was that he doesn't fit. he didn't fit in those surroundings. and i think that's initially what brought us to him. he looked a little meek. the red hair. the glasses. he looked more like a college professor versus an inmate. >> the social system in here is totally different. it's nothing like the free world. it's a totally different world, you know? i mean, it's like moving to japan and not knowing japanese, you know? it's exactly, you know, you're lost. and that's how i'd be now if i got out. i'd be lost. >> due to a fatal action he took as a much younger man, it is unlikely stall will ever get out. in 1981, he was convicted for the murders of two grocery store employees. stall claims he was high on pcp, when he and a co-defendant intercepted the employees on the way to the bank. >> we picked them up, took them out to a wooded area, and they were killed. >> how did they die? >> them got shotgunned. they were shot. >> in their confessions, stall and his co-defendant claimed the other had pulled the trigger. i

haven't we learned a lot since lawrence in the last ten years? >> yes, and your honor, i think that is a critical point that goes to the question your honor was asking earlier. i think lawrence was an important catalyst that brought us to where we were. it provided an assurance gay and lesbians can live open in society as free people and start families and raise families and that is a critical point that participate in their community without fear. and two things formed from that i think. one is that brought us to the point where we understand now in a way that we did not fully understand in lawrence that gay and lesbian people and couples are full and equal members of the community. and what we once thought of as necessary and proper reasons for marginalizing gay people we understand do not justify that kind of pressure. >> the difference is lawrence, the whole argument is the state can't intrude on that personal relationship. this it seems is different in that what the argument is the state must sanctions and approve the relationship. they are

the jury found samson lawrence not guilty of all charges. prosecutors say lawrence sprayed his wife's face with lysol, choked her and pushed her down the stairs after an argument in 2013. the defense teams says the physical evidence did not support that theory. >> when you look at the dna evidence the fingerprint evidence, none of which belongs to my client i think the jury was impressed that maybe ms. lawrence was not telling the truth about what happened on that day. >> we brought charges that reflect the seriousness of the offenses. and we felt that the evidence was sufficient. >> this was the second trial for lawrence. the first resulted in a hung jury. lawrence's family wants him reinstated to the police department so he can return to duty. >>> a developing story this morning. the nsa's controversial gathering of phones is illegal. lawmakers now have to find a balance between national security and privacy. nbc's tracie potts has the latest on that ruling. tracy, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. june 1st is the dead

the bottom line, though, lawrence, is that there is going to be a curfew. there's going to be a curfew for the weekend city officials are saying. despite what's happened here today, all the feelings of vindication in this community because the officers were indicted, there is now a tense situation. and the hope, of course, is that this will resolve itself peacefully. but, again, the heart of the problem, there are people who have a lot of energy, a lot of whatever, a lot of passion. they're blocking a national guard vehicle and trying to get through. and that's not a good thing. that's where we are right now. there are helicopters overhead. it's being broadcasted, it's 10:00, pooem please go home. it's illegal to be out here. but, again, this is what happened on previous nights and things escalated and de-escalated. hopefully that will happen again tonight. >> thanks for that report, ron allen. we are joined now by msnbc's joy reid. ron's point that we've seen this before, we've seen et get tense around 10:00. so frequently around 10:20. but by 10:45 every

lawrence: i understand that. it is one of my greatest concerns about the american people, that they continue to support torture. phyllis: if people are going to believe that it works and somehow it is legal because some lawyer in the justice department said it was legal, it is the ultimate tautology. it is legal because somebody asked me if it was legal. i thought it was legal, therefore it was legal. that is not how the law works in this country. you say this is a country of laws and not of people. they used to say it is a country of laws and not of men. we don't do that anymore thankfully. it is a country of laws and not a people, that means the laws have to have some credibility, not just some lawyer who happen to have riser in law school to say -- whether it was you or someone else to say yes, i think it is legal. and then they say if the president says it is legal it is. and so people believe it is legal because nobody is saying the opposite. paul: we have already taken over our time. i want to thank our pan

lee is live for us in london so lawrence we are getting to the point i guess where we start to hear the victory and the resignation speeches. take us forward. >> yes, that's right. and frankly i don't think the conservative party in their wildest, most fevered dreams could possibly have imagined that things would go this well for them. this time yesterday there was absolutely no indication whatsoever by anybody that there would be an outright majority for any single party and there were assumptions of weeks of tortured negotiations to try to shackle together some sort of arrangement in this new world of coalition politics inside the uk and yet consider exactly the extent to which the conservative party has managed to neutralize all of its opposition in london. as you say the labor party disaster. the liberal democrats imploded and uk and main opposition to the right their leader their iconic figure a man who was their basically their lynchpin for their forward momentum lost their seat and all three will probably have to resign by the end of the day and conservatives will march on un

my lifestyle has changed radically. >> reporter: but the tape reveals one thing lawrence popp is very good at -- lying. >> do you declare under penalty of perjury that the information you've given me is true and correct to the best of your knowledge? >> yes. >> i have seen tons and tons of people like this in my career. >> reporter: you remember abc news consultant bob kiehn. he's that private eye whose weapon of choice is a video camera. we asked kiehn to give us the tale of the tape. >> people in popp's position get comfortable. they get comfortable to the point of they're getting away with it. so i'm gonna get away with more and more. he took it to the extreme. >> reporter: popp actually did have legitimate vision impairment back in 2004 when he signed up for benefits. but he promised to notify the department if his medical condition improved or if he were to get a job or generate income. well his eyes did get better and he generated plenty of income, but freeloading larry decided to keep those details to himself. >> can you use a computer? >> no. what happens when i start doing th

even during that period is lawrence picked historical epics, but his work was never divisive. he told his story about his people in a way that communicated perseverance and inner strength. he really believed he was painting the beauty of people struggling to better themselves. there is a remarkable consistency this union of realism and modernism. i think he wanted to be remembered as an artist who creates bridges, told the epic of african american history and the story of african americans and caucasians working together. in that sense of hope and struggle towards something, possibility of a better future was something that he hoped his work would communication. >> the display is currently on display at the museum of modern art. >>> now to judy collins her voice has captivated audiences for more than 50 years, but it is really her activism that has propelled her to the history books. >> i was trotted out on the stage in 4 years old in butte, montana and i never looked back. it's about 120 shows a year all over the country and the world. making new recordings. my slief exciting

depth program with lawrence wright and your phone calls. that happens this spring on booktv. >> right now joining us here on our tv set is the editor-in-chief and author robert scheer, his most recent book is "they know everything about you: how data collecting corporations and snooping government agencies are destroying democracy." and so robert, who are they and what do they know? >> well the whole problem is that we surrendered a lot of our privacy to private corporations which is fine as long as you know what you are doing. can i use your location you buy a book, how far did you read in the book. if you have an apple iphone six, i gave my information to connect with purchases what i read and what i watch. any government in the world has required you to give your fingerprints every time you have bought a book or watched a movie or have dinner with friends and they have their fingerprints. and so we did it voluntarily because we are comfortable with freedom and we thought it to notice that when those ads pop up they have all of this data.

>> yeah i agree with you, lawrence. i think it is a very narrow and very small group of this 18 19 or 23 or however many are jumping in. the thing is you still have to win primaries. who can win two out of three in eye with, new hampshire and cycle can is. how could put together enough delegates. i'm not sure how this plays and who will have the money to go the distance. there are a lot of candidates that you mentioned that have a multi millionaire. marco rubio has the money that he can go the distance he could stay in. scott walker has his base, whether it's the bradley foundation type money, that could keep him in. jeb bush has his fortune he has raised with his vast florida donors. i think if you have at least one billionaire that could keep them going long enough to last through the florida primary or get to super tuesday, they're viable. there are others like ted cruz who i think are pure show and there's not really a path i can see to them winning one, two or three primaries. i think the realistic chances, that li

>> not really, lawrence. i vice president been -- on it because i've just been trying to soak up the family and i spoke to my team earlier this evening. because that's what -- that's my life is my family. and so, to be honest with you, so -- but the lesson learned last night, yeah, listen, it was more clear where things were, what we could have done. but at the end of the day, i was on the way. i knew, i saw the emergency exit windows. i climbed up, got it off and helped people get through it, but, you know, like in any situation, we were all pretty banged up, but you've got to get through it and you've got to be there and you have to help people. it wasn't be every man for himself, you have to do it as a team, otherwise, you all perish. >> john, does ntsb have any recommendations for train safety that you think should be incorporated that would help guide people after these kinds of crashes? >> you know what really has to happen here? we have to stop treating rail cars the way we treat airplane interiors. we

lawrence lee reports from spain where about a million britains live. >> reporter: it's still quiet in the little town, but soon enough the bars and restaurants will be full of european sun seekers. but getting on, half the population is british. in the bar we found some of them putting the world to rights and there is plenty wrong with the u.k. >> people from. [ inaudible ] people are barredderring out in camps. do they apply to move to australia? no. can they move anywhere in europe? yes. where do they want to go. >> britain. >> yes. >> and to be fair, probably so would i. wouldn't you? >> reporter: over the road dean shows us his contribution to spain. he founded a charity which other british people here can contribute to. the money goes to the spanish poor. this he says, helps define the difference between the right and the wrong sort of migrants. an immigrant is someone who takes and an ex-pat is someone who goes to somewhere else and gives a little bit back, is that what you mean? >> that tends to be the perception of most of the people that i know locally yes. yeah, it is. >> re

at the time lawrence versus texas was decided in 2000. that was the case that said you couldn't ban or criminalize same-sex sexual intimacy. only 14 states have such bans on the books, so 13 states had dance on their books so those were easy for the court to wash out. the scenario of the court doesn't want is the roe v. wade situation where the court is changing the laws in a major social issue and that is when the court gets backlash as we get this constant pushback that hasn't been resolved to this day. the movement lawyers looking at this landscape and at the time it's hard to believe this or get your head around this now because as i speak we have 37 states and the district of columbia that have same-sex marriage so the supreme court could easily say we are doing what we did in lawrence and washing out the outliers. but back at the time the suit was filed only four states have same-sex marriage and so the movement lawyers thought this is too soon that we are doing an end run around the strategy that had built up over years so there wa

now it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. >> the "new york times" has obtained over 300 pages of hillary clinton's e-mails and posted all of them online and clinton critics could not be more disappointed. also in the news tonight, something david chase and the sew bran planos writers never thought of a new jersey strip joint secretly owned by federal agents who are now facing federal charges. >> i want those e-mails out. >> you've got mail. >> the "new york times" has just published 349 pages of e-mails. >> no smoking guns no bombshells. >> from hillary clinton's private e-mail accounts. >> pretty silly to me that she thought using a g-mail account was acceptable. >> what we see republicans trying to do with these e-mails is establish a pattern of secrecy. >> but really i don't care. >> so many republican candidates -- >> trying to fit 19 candidates on one single stage. >> so little room on the debate stage. >> they're going to play music and walk around the podium. >> we'll see a real fight for those last few spots. >> and i'll tell you this chris christie is going to g

the 2nd one in 2,003 lawrence versus texas. states can't prohibit consensual sexual relations between consenting adults in private. gay or straight. anthony kennedy writes. also 6325 believe. then two years ago that court says the federal government has to respect things like marriages that are legal in states. unconstitutional. justice scalia dissents justice scalia and justice kennedy are both appointed by ronald reagan within two years of each other. they both happen to have gone up in the catholic church but represent rather different visions. having read windsor roma lawrence versus texas i think that it would not be shocking to me if justice kennedy wrote the forth in in this 4th in this series just as well worn wrote brown versus board of education ending apartheid in education and loving versus virginia and 67. and those were 13 years apart. liberal republican and lincoln republican tradition kennedy actually mentioned those two cases. about a dozen years apart. same-sex marriage. so openly moving. the timing between th

lawrence lee reports from london. >> david cameron still in downing street and still prime minister. his conservative party confounded every single one of the polls and won a small majority. that allowed him to tell the queen he can now form a government. weeks of negotiations ended up before lurch time. >> as i said in the small hours of this morning we will govern as a party of one nation, one united kingdom. north to southeast to west. >> it was primarily a disaster for the main labour party and ed milibrand. now searches for a new identity and a new leader too. >> britain needs a strong labour party. now it's time for someone else to take forward the leadership of this party. >> the liberal democrats were also decimated it's leader, nick clegg kept his seats but he too resigned from the party. leerd nigel farag failed to get elected so he became the third party leader to go. not in the wildest dreams quite this well for them, not only do they have a mandate which allows them a free rein to continue their economic program they have effectively neutralized all their political threa
