>> Carley: BROOKE SINGMAN, THANK YOU. BRING IN FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR. TWO DETAILS I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT. THE FATHER ADMITTING TO INVESTIGATORS HE BOUGHT HIS SON THE GUN LAST YEAR, WHICH MEANS HE BOUGHT THE GUN AFTER SITTING DOWN WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THEM TELLING HIM THAT HIS SON HAD MADE SCHOOL SHOOTING THREATS. THE OTHER THING IS THAT THE SHOOTER'S AUNT TOLD "WASHINGTON POST" HE HAD BEEN BEGGING THE ADULTS AROUND HIM FOR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT IN RECENT MONTHS. THESE ARE THE MOST SERIOUS CHARGES THE PARENT OF A SCHOOL SHOOTING SUSPECT HAS EVER FACED. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ALL OF THIS? >> THIS CASE IS REMINISCENT OF THE CRUMBLEY CASE. YOU WILL SEE WHEN PARENTS ARE CHARGED, THERE HAS TO BE EVIDENCE THAT THE PARENTS WERE AWARE THEIR SON HAD ISSUES ON THE MENTAL HEALTH SIDE OF THINGS OR EXHIBITED VIOLENT TENDENCIES. JUST FROM PRELIMINARY INFORMATION OUT THERE, THE PARENTS, PARTICULARLY HIS FATHER THAT PROVIDED HIM WITH THE WEAPON, WAS AWARE OF THIS CHILD'S POTENTIALLY VIOLENT TENDENCIES AND THEY WILL NEED THAT TO PROVE CHARGES. >> Todd: SEEMS LIKE TEXTBOOK LIABILITY. GEORGIA LAW IS NOT MICHIGAN LAW WHERE THE CRUMBLEY CASE WAS. IF YOU ARE PROSECUTING THIS CASE, HOW DO YOU TIE THE CRUMBLEY CASE TO THIS CASE IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT LAWS ARE DIFFERENT? >> IN GEORGIA, AS WE'VE SEEN HERE, THE PARENTS OR FATHER HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH WHAT THEY CONSIDER A SECOND-DEGREE MURDER STATUTE, WHICH IS UNIQUE IN STATE OF GEORGIA DEALING WITH CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE THAT LEADS TO THE DEATH OF CHILDREN. THAT CARRIES HIGHER SENTENCE THAN INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE. PROSECUTORS WILL HAVE TO PROVE THAT THE PARENTS KNOWINGLY IGNORED ASSIGNS OF ISSUES WITH THEIR CHILD ON MENTAL HEALTH SIDE OF THINGS AND PROVIDING A FIREARM TO SOMEBODY THEY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WOULD ENGAGE IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS. FROM WHAT WE KNOW, THEY SEEM TO HAVE LINED UP A LOT OF INFORMATION, EVEN THIS EARLY IN THE INVESTIGATION. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. >> Carley: THE SURPRISE GUILTY PLEA BY HUNTER BIDEN YESTERDAY ON ALL NINE COUNTS IN HIS FEDERAL TAX CASE. HIS LAWYER PROPOSED THIS DEAL THAT HUNTER WOULD MAINTAIN INNOCENCE WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING THERE IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO FIND HIM GUILTY. HUNTER SAID, I WILL NOT SUBJECT MY FAMILY TO MORE PAIN, MORE INNOVATION AND NEEDLESS EMBARRASSMENT. FOR ALL I HAVE PUT THEM THROUGH OVER THE YEARS, I CAN SPARE THEM THIS. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, WHY HE CAME TO THE GUILTY PLEA AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? >> I THINK HUNTER KNEW HE WAS, THE PROSECUTION HAD A STRONG CASE. WHEN SOMEBODY ENTERS INTO A GUILTY PLEA, THE PROSECUTION IS NOT MOTIVATED TO ENGAGE IN NEGOTIATIONS. THEY WERE PREPARED FOR TRIAL, HE WENT AHEAD AND PLED GUILTY WITHOUT PROTECTION ON HIS SENTENCE. HE'LL BE ABLE TO ARGUE HE SHOULD GET LENIENCY FOR TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, BUT HE HAS A PRIOR CONVICTION THAT WILL BE USED AGAINST HIM FOR THE GUN TRIAL. IT WAS AN OBVIOUS DECISION, I DON'T THINK HE HAD A STRONG CHANCE OF ACQUITTAL, THIS WAS LIKELY IN THE INTEREST OF THE FAMILY FOR SURE. ANYONE'S GUESS WHY IT TOOK THIS LONG. >> Todd: I THINK BEYOND THAT, THIS IS LESS ABOUT THE LAW AND A LOT MORE ABOUT THE CALENDAR. BY DECIDING TO PLEA NOW, HE SETS UP A SENTENCING IN DECEMBER, WHICH COULD NOT BE MORE PERFECT FOR JOE BIDEN AND HUNTER. IT IS AFTER THE ELECTION, NO IT IS AFTER THE ELECTION. IT GIVES YOU A MONTH TO PARDON HIM. I KNOW THE WHITE HOUSE SAID THERE WILL NOT BE A PARDON OR COMMUTATION OF THE SENTENCE. YOU ARE A PARENT, LOVE OF CHILD OVERRIDES EVERYTHING. HE WILL BE PARDONED HERE, ISN'T HE? >> IT IS HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE HE WON'T BE UNLESS HIS SENTENCE IS EXTREMELY LIGHT, I WOULD IMAGINE JOE BIDEN HAS NOTHING TO LOSE BY PARDONING HIM. HE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HE MIGHT DO THAT AND DENIED THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. HUNTER FACES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF JAIL TIME AND I THINK THE BIDEN FAMILY HAS MADE IT CLEAR THEY FEEL HUNTER WAS ADDICTED TO DRUGS AND HE BEARS LITTLE RESPONSIBILITY THIS. THIS WAS NOT JUST A TAX EVASION CASE, IT WAS A FRAUD CASE. A JUDGE COULD BE UPSET BY THE FACT HE IS NOT A FIRST-TIME OFFENDER AND GIVE HIM A MORE SIGNIFICANT SENTENCE. >> Carley: HE WILL BE SENTENCED IN THE GUN CASE ON NOVEMBER 13TH AND SENTENCE FOR TAX CHARGES IN DECEMBER, A MONTH BEFORE HIS DAD LEAVES OFFICE. GOOD TIMING FOR HIM THERE. >> Todd: I'M EXCITED WE DID NOT GO INTO DETAILS ON AN ALFORD PLEA. I DID NOT WANT TO DO THAT AND GOOD
