00:00What was ultimately decided is we are filing a motion to recuse the district
00:08attorney in this case. We set a date of May the 9th. The family does not want to
00:16go through this charade anymore with the DA. They are going to, I anticipate, the
00:23motion hasn't been written yet, but given what transpired today and given what's
00:30obvious to anyone, I think, who has a couple of synapses that are still firing,
00:36this is a DA who made up his mind and did no hard work in terms of his position. He
00:43is vindicating no one's interest. He hired a lawyer who endorsed him as his head of
00:51victim's services. He has given absolutely no victim's services whatsoever to the victims in
00:58this case. He has taken a position at all times that is not supported by the law. It's not supported
01:06by the facts. In addition to all of that, you have Mr. Hockman taking positions and doing press stunts
01:16that, in my humble opinion, not only violate his duty to the law, but violate his duty to the state
01:25of California, the county of Los Angeles. The ultimate insult, I believe, was last Friday when
01:32the grisly crime scene photos were thrown up unexpectedly in violation of Marcy's law, which,
01:39as Mr. Friedman ably pointed out, is a constitutional provision. We believe that directly caused
01:46the traumatization, re-traumatization of Terry Baralt, who I'm happy to inform is now out of the
01:52hospital, but was found unresponsive. Mr. Hockman's solution or his answer to her being traumatized
02:01was a, at best, weak-kneed apology. And to promptly have Kathy Cady, his supposedly walled-off
02:11head of victim services, arranged a rather failed protest at which he spoke on that Sunday morning
02:19while Terry Baralt was in ICU. Anybody who witnessed him driving out here from the west side enclave,
02:28where he lives, to do a press conference this morning to say nothing except to violate what was
02:35then a confidential document in front of the cameras, and then to scurry off, I think would
02:42be probably exhibit 27 of the motion to recuse.
