LIR Special: Warren Mayor Jim Fouts controversy

Repulsive audio recordings -- and the mayor's denial.

Protestors say it's time for Jim Fouts to get out, but his supporters say they believe him despite what's on those tapes.

Recordings of a man sounding like Fouts disparaging the mentally disabled, women and African-Americans have surfaced. What's next for Fouts, and if he does survive this controversy will he ever be trusted again.
