Hosted by

The US Supreme Court ruled that overcrowding in California prisons is "cruel and unusual punishment," and ordered inmate reductions. Governor Brown lost on appeal, and last week a panel of lower court judges said he's not even trying to release enough prisoners. Today, Brown formally filed another appeal. Is there a real threat of increased crime, or does the state have options to protect public safety? We hear a clash of opinions. Also, the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX has been re-designed in the shape of ocean waves. Will it bring $4.1 billion in new business?
