Human Rights After 9/11; Torrey Pines Golf Course Update ; Cupcake Brown - 24:06 - Apr 4, 2006 - Videos

The life of attorney Cupcake Brown was not always so sweet. By the young age of 13 she was selling her body for drug money and running with a violent street gang. Her memoir tells of the redemptive journey from addiction on the streets of San Diego and L.A. to a successful legal career. Meet Cupcake on Thursday's Full Focus. Hear how she survived and persevered to beat the odds and turn her life around. Also, have human rights violations in the United States become more common since September 11? The Executive Director of Amnesty International shares his thoughts on human rights and the process of waging war on terrorism Then, an update to a story Rebecca Tolin brought us a few weeks ago. City Attorney Mike Aguirre just discovered both the north and south courses of the Torrey Pines Golf Course are being used as collateral to pay off bonds. This means if the financially troubled city defaults on those bonds or files for bankruptcy, it could potentially lose the public gems. This adds to the tensions which are already high on the green these days. Guests: William F. Schulz, Executive Director, Amnesty International USA; Cupcake Brown, Attorney and Author«
