Katherine Russell, ABC Legal Threats and Spousal Privilege
ABC News legal analyst Dan Abrams is accused of delivering a "warning shot" to Katherine Russell, the widow of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The hosts interpret Abrams' discussion of accessory charges and the limitations of spousal privilege as a public threat intended to coerce her cooperation with federal authorities. They characterize the report as a departure from the principle of "innocent until proven guilty."
