Transcript Part I (not included in the Part I video):
COOPER: I know tomorrow in part 2 you're going to address the question what liability the authors may or may not have. Do they feel badly at all about this child's death, or do they feel in any way their writing had an impact?
TUCHMAN: The Pearl's say they do feel badly, Anderson, about the death of Lydia, but they do not accept any blame. They say this family in California lost control.
But the problem with that statement is they are best-selling authors. They have sold tens of thousands of copies of this book in more than 20 languages. And there are bound to be people who lose control.
COOPER: How are the eight surviving kids doing?
TUCHMAN: Very difficult time. First of all, they were all beaten regularly. Secondly, they saw their sister Lydia killed and now they're in foster care. But they're all in different foster homes. They're not together anymore, but we're assured by the prosecutors that they're in loving, peaceful homes.
COOPER: That's hard to believe. Gary, appreciate it. We're going to have part 2 of Gary's port tomorrow on "360" at 8:00 p.m., also 10:00 p.m. Eastern.
