Andrew, a professional boxer and self-proclaimed misogynist, was also accused of rape. The brothers deny the charges. Silvia Maria Tabusca is coordinator of the Human Security Program at the European Center for Legal Education and Research in Bucharest. She speaks with Host Carolyn Beeler about the significance of their release.
