00:00:15.000 - 00:00:31.650

you saw him? I saw him this morning. Approximately nine o'clock. Would you describe the situation? Perfectly normal. We discuss going to court, and he was getting dressed to go to court. We discussed my giving him a ride to court. I had to take off early because

00:00:31.650 - 00:00:45.990

there was something I had to do in court. And he said he'd see me there in a few minutes. And that's the last I've seen of him. What happened in the courtroom? Well, the matter was heard at 1. 30 this afternoon. And, uh, Mr Seal still

00:00:45.990 - 00:01:03.550

did not appear. And the judge has now issued a bench warrant for his arrest. Any possible idea where he is? No, I have no idea. The only thing that I can conclude is that his disappearance must have something to do with the intimidation that went on

00:01:36.730 - 00:01:54.020

another reporter told me that he didn't show him that a bench warrant was out for his arrest. Are you worried? Very worried. The Black Panthers air angry. That's not particularly new. But Bobby Seale is missing. And that is different and new. This is Ed are No.
