Chief Justice John Roberts siding here with the four liberals on the bench to preserve for now an obama era legacy. The president can try again to deport Daca Recipients if he wants but the loss at the high court means he wont be able to keep his 2016 promise to do so before Voters Decide this november whether he deserves a second term. Lets get straight to cnns Jessica Schneider outside the high court for this important decision. Jessica, what did the justices do and what did they not do . Reporter john, for the second time this week the chief Justice John Roberts siding with the liberals ruling with the Trump Administration in this case writing the opinion that blocks the Trump Administration from rolling back daca. Its that program that president obama enacted in 2012 that protected about 700,000 Daca Recipients from deportation. These are children who were brought here when they were children, when they were young and now who continue to live here, work here. They applied for the daca renewals every two years. Now they will be protected because of the decision authored by the chief Justice John Roberts. Now, john roberts is not saying that the trump straying is powerless to roll back daca, but it instead the Trump Administration has just rolled it back the wrong way so theres still the possibility that the Trump Administration could end this program but not now, and, of course, were just a few months from the election. John roberts saying in this opinion that we do not decide whether daca or its recision or sound policies, the wisdom of those decisions is none of our concern. We address only whether the agency complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation. He then went on to talk about the hardships that Daca Recipients would face if this program was rolled back which it will not be. Now, the conservative justice, Justice Thomas, he issued a really scathing dissent here saying todays decision must be recognized for what, it an effort to avoid a politically controversial but legally correct decision. The court should have made clear that the solution respondents seek must come from the legislative branch, so Justice Thomas saying that it is congress who should be worried about the Daca Recipients here, and just in the last few minutes the president responding in part to this decision. He retweeted the daily caller report that talked about Justice Thomas dissent here. We havent gotten any direct comment or reaction from the president or the white house, but for now the 700,000 plus dreamers in this country are rejoicing. Some of them have gathered in front of the Supreme Court steps here. It is a far cry from the hundreds who gathered outside to see the arguments when they played out before the Supreme Court in november. John, i talked to some of those Daca Recipients back in the fall. They said that despite the fact that they were born in another country and brought here as children, they feel just as much american as you and i. One woman i spoke with came here at the age of 14 from ecuador and lives in long island, has two young children. She works and pays taxes and she was pleading with the justices to really deal with this in a humane way which it seems has exactly been done by chief Justice John Roberts telling the Trump Administration you do have authority to roll this program back but you didnt do it in the right way. Therefore, daca remains in place, and the socalled dreamers remain protected. John . In place and protected as we go now towards the election. Jessica schneider outside the Supreme Court, thanks for keeping your cool amid the celebration. Appreciate that. This decision 54. The chief Justice John Roberts siding with the four liberals on the bench. Lets get perspective now from our sunshine legal analyst. Joan, the chief justice is your wheelhouse. You are a biographer and the like. Its a very interesting decision here, and you get the sense from it in the clarence dissent, Clarence Thomas essentially saying, you know, deal with the politics. The chief justice saying the administration gave me a reason not to because they didnt follow the rules. Yeah. There are a couple of messages here from the chief justice and one is do it right. Do it right. Were not against you. We would be with you if you would just follow the procedures here and do it correctly. The other thing that you have, john, is sort of a message of when the chief justice is going to flip over to join with the liberals, and in this case it was another one of those politically charged disputes involving tensions between two administrations, the Obama Administration and the Trump Administration, and its in his interest to defuse those tensions and thats where we see him edging over, and we also see him edging over to say were not going to take you out of your lane. Were going to actually keep you in your lane as the administration to do this directly or have congress do it, and in response to someone like justice Clarence Thomas who says that the chief is essentially legislating here. He says, no, were putting check on other branches but were leaving the real policy to those other branches themselves. And joan, somebody who has watching all week, saying there are there have been two Big Decisions going against want president want. On both of them the chief justice has voted with the liberals. On one of them, neil gorsuch, the president s appointee, wrote the decision saying you can not fire someone because they are gay or transgender in america. Two very different cases. In terms of the discrimination ruling, thats a big landmark Supreme Court decision. This is more you didnt follow the rules. If you want to, try again, right . And thats the way people should understand these. First of all, i think we have a pattern for sure of the Trump Administration being smacked town when it pushes too far. Thats a consistent theme in these cases and it will be Going Forward but who forms the coalition for the majority . That will evolve. It will depend on the particular case. We had, as you mention had had, a very important civil rights case on monday that played to a texturalist reading that trump appointee neil gorsuch was going to take. That was very distinct to neil gorsuch and the way he wrote that opinion. Now, granted the chief justice signed on, but i think the chief justice realized once there was a majority for this very important decision having to do with a statutory interpretation that he would be with it. He was not with the Supreme Court when it voted in 2015 to support a fundamental right to gay marriage, so the chief is going to come on when it appear a narrower ruling, something thats within the the limits of a statute as we have here, the requirements that the Trump Administration faced to actually do the daca recision properly. We had that. And i think Going Forward, john, in the next crucial weeks as the Supreme Court finishes whats been just a a very unparalleled term, unprecedented to time in american history, will probably see other surprises, but well have to take them one at a time and dissect them just as youre doing one at a time because the pattern, again, even though it involves smacking down the Trump Administration from going too far, does not involve a lot of consistency, neil gorsuch and brett cavanagh, the trump appointees, they dissented here. I suspect you may be back tomorrow or day after as we get another one of these Big Decisions. With me now to share their reporting and their insights is Maggie Haberman of the New York Times and dan ball of the washington post. Thank you for taking time on this northern day. Maggie, well start with you. We dont know what the president will do. We do know a little bit about what he thinks retreating talking about the Clarence Thomas disseptember, an effort to avoid a politically correct decision. We know what the president wanted here. The question is now what will he do . Will he ask the dhs, go back and follow the road map the Supreme Court laid out or will he back off knowing theres an election just down the road . We dont know what hell do. We dont really know what he wanted out of this decision, right. What we know is at the time that Jeff Sessions was announcing they were going to rescind the president was saying to some of his own advisers how do i get out of this . The president was all over the map on this decision and what you saw him retweet there in terms of retweeting a paragraph about the dissent saying this was a politically motivated decision, liberal activists, liberal judges and so forth and i think hell use that to punt until we get past the election because if not you are looking at a circumstance where the president could be deporting a lot of people who were brought to this country, not of their own volition four and a half months before an election and up until that point and i dont think that something that the president or most of his advisers want to be dealing with at all right now. To that point, dan, had he won that case and had the authority to start the deportations, his base would have demanded he do so, so in an odd way is this legal defeat, i dont know if political victory is the right word, but a political pass through the election . Its political breathing space, i suppose, but on the other hand its a rejection of something he had tried to do. I think maggie is right. Hes always been uncomfortable with aspects of this, and weve seen him try to make a deal on daca to get his border wall funded and things like that. Hes always held that out as a possibility of making a deal, but i im just struck by the fact, that you know, it was eight years ago about this time that president obama made this decision to protect the daca kids and flummoxed then president ial nominee mitt romney. Now youve got the Supreme Court flummoxing the incumbent president over the same issue. Its a politically difficult issue for him four and a half months before the election, and my guess, as maggie says, hell likely try to punt. And yet, im going to read you a treat that the president has been on air which is unfair because you havent had a chance to read this. This is interesting. These horribly and politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves republicans or conservatives. We need more justices it or we will lose our Second Amendment and everything else. Vote trump 2020. So here you have, again, the president by the end of the hour, if not by the end. Day or the end of the week or the end of the month could change again because he often does but this is his reflex, trying to turn this into lets make it about judges and the conservative base. Lets make it about something i know works for me at a time, of course, we know whether were looking at racial unrest in the country, looking at the coronavirus response, the president s numbers are politely in the tank. Maggie, what do you read into that, that hes trying to make it about judges . Doesnt even mention immigration in the tweet. Clearly what its about. John, i think your read is exactly right. Weve seen the president suffering some softening in his support, particularly among evangelicals and amongst some conservatives, not just in the last couple of weeks of racial unrest but even before that when he was doing the coronavirus briefings that were basically as many of his advisers have acknowledged privately an act of selfsabotage, so i think that this is him taking another opportunity as he has many times to try to remind people who are conservatives that this is why you like me. This is why you took a chance on me in 2016. I gave you judges. This is this deal that we have made together and this is what you keep with me Going Forward. I expect youll hear him focusing on that a lot and a lot more than on the immigration aspect of this. And yet, dan, hes the incumbent president so we have to always remember that the election is about him. Do people like this and like it enough to give him four more years . I want to go back in time. Remember how important immigration was in 2016. He was going to build a wall and mexico is paying for it. They are making progress, mexico is not paying for it but the american taxpayer is but lets listen to the president on this particular issue is daca. When when the president is terrific, we want them back here. Will they have to leave . It sounds cold and sounds hard. We have a country. Our country is going to hell. We have to have a system where people are legally in the country. Were always talking about dreamers for other people. I want the children that are growing up in this the United States to be dreamers also. They are not dreaming right now. Now he has to decide whether to take a different position or stick with his history on this issue, dan. Well, he does. I mean, the problem for him on this issue is that there is probably no more popular Immigration Program than daca. I mean, theres overwhelming support among the American People to allow daca kids to stay in the United States and most of them arent kids anymore. They are young adults who are leading productive lives, going to college, working, et cetera, who are fully assimilated into the fabric of of this country. Thats what he is pushing against if he tries to say they should we should have a system in which they would not be allowed to stay here. Just moments ago, the question im going to ask on other side of this is do we know how much this matters in the sense that, you know, theres a new bolton book well talk about momentarily. Were in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic and a racial reckoning in the United States and now we get this Supreme Court decision that, again, puts the immigration question and essentially the humanity, how do you treat 700,000 to 800,000 people who came into to country through no power of their own, most of them children, most having never lived anywhere else. They consider themselves americans. Heres the speaker of the house nancy pelosi and her read on the Supreme Court. A large number of republicans, independents, over 60 of people who support trump support the dreeramers, so this is we were in such threat about what could possibly happen at the court up until last night if it goes this way or if it goes that way. But this way is the american way. This way is the american way, and yet, please, boast you laugh at me. Well start with you. Maggie, in the sense that the president could if he wanted to send a unifying signal at this moment of divide saying lets get this over with. Lets pass legislation allowing them to stay. If youve not committed a crime, eligible for daca which means youve not committed a crime, you were bought here by your parents when you were too young, you have a job, might be serving in the United States military, you can stay. The expectation that he can do that is what, zero . Nothing is always zero with him because all of these transactions are open. Thats not the posture the people in his administration have been taking, especially his soninlaw who has been tasked with trying to come up with a broader immigration deal. Democrats will have to come to the table now if we lose on daca and thats really on them. Thats not how democrats see it, so i understand that thats how they are going to try to telegraph this or at least potentially telegraph this. I dont think that thats how this is going to go. I also dont think that this president who we noted earlier has seen a softening among his conservative base, i dont think hes in a rush to say lets do a deal. He needs all of his voters to turn out. Thats the key point. You mentioned evangelicals and seen other question marks with his base. When that happens, one thing hes consistent on, is his reflection and coming up stunning new claims from President Trumps former National Security adviser john bolton.

John bolt onthenow the latest onetime trump insider out with anneewopg book. He says its President Trump first, not America First and he says the president asked the chinese for reelection help and said he would try to intervene in legal cases to help friendly dictators and not to mention encouraging concentration camps for chinas riegwegher muslims this is boltons verdict in what he saw up close. I dont think hes fit for office. I dont think he has the competence to carry out the job. There really isnt any guiding principle that i was able to discern other than whats good for Donald Trumps reelection. The president says bolton is not to be believed. The president tweeting this morning the book is, quote, a compilation of lies and, quote, pure fiction. Were back with Maggie Haberman of the New York Times, ban dalz of washington post. Theres a lot of insider books written in washington, a lot of people very close and john bolton known as a loyal republican staffer throughout the year and known to have differences with this president on policy and temperament issues but this is a wow. Absolutely, john, and we knew we had differences in that they didnt get along in many ways, but nonetheless weve not seen Something Like this from past administrations. Weve not seen this from current administrations. Theres been looks of books about the dysfunctionality in the Trump White House and the problems with the white house but never from somebody who had, a, the upclose view that john bolton had and, b, somebody who is known through every administration as a copious notetaker and contemporaneously doing so, so here we have from, you know, the birds eye view a devastating portrait of the president of the United States. Maggie, there are so many things and you can decide depending on what your personal or political interests are are. You read this book Different Things might grab your attention. Examining president xi, you know, can you start buying a lot of crops, farmers are critical with soybeans, can you help with soybeans and other agriculture products. This one jumps out for any american president whether toys him is donald trump or president barack obama. Xi explained to trump why he was basically building concentration camps. According to our interpreter trump told him go ahead with building the camps which trump thought was exactly the right thing to do. An american president telling the chinese dictator its the right exactly the right thing to do to build concentration camps for the Muslim Minority in china. If thats true, its mindblowing. It is john, an unbelievable piece of information that john bolton is putting his name to and saying that this happened. The president while hes sort of broadly dismissed the book as not gone piece by piece other than a piece this morning to say he was upset at john bolter for upsetting kim jongun a couple years ago, i would say the criticism of bolton has been in this book hes very, very negative about House Democrats who were attempting to impeach President Trump, that they didnt go far enough, so he sat on this piece of information about concentration camps and saved it for his book and then hes criticizing democrats for not knowing it. Thats a its a extraordinary book and the fact that hes willing to talk about what he saw, but i think there will be limits to how many commendations hes going to get for how he handled this. Thats an excellent point. So the question is does it get more attention . Does it get more credibility with people out there . We have to remember in the context of an election, some people have already decided they are not open to changing their mind. For those who might be open to inning chaing their mind either way, dan, john bolton joins james matys and many others, several who have been very close to this president who have later either in books or other interviews or both painted incredibly damning pictures about how the president operates. They all call himselfish and trump first and all question whether hes informed enough and reads the brief. Will it matter that so many people he criticizes them now. He brought every single one of them into the administration and praised them when he did so. Does it matter that there are so many, again. We get tellall books in every administration and can question the interests of the person writing the book trying to sell books and advance a career and so many people with such credibility, bolton, matys, et cetera. It will be up to the voter to render a final judgment on what they are hearing about the president that makes him unfit for office as john bolton said, but it is extraordinary when you think about it, that the top level of his National Security apparatus and not just in the first year but now continuing through bolton has basically in the aftermath of their service said he is unfit to be president of the United States. The portrait that john bolton paints in this is similar to what we have heard from jim mattis or general kelly, everyone who has been away from him has come after their service with a very bad taste in their mouth about the way he operates. People will have to process that and make their own decisions about that, but weve never had a president who has had that kind of judgment rendered by the people who have worked closest with him. And part of the president s argument now, maggie, played out last night on hannity. John bolton was a frequent contributor on fox news so if the president is trying to convince people who might view john bolton as credible thats one place to do it. Listen to the president s take last night on this book. They broke the law. Very simple, as much as its going to be broken. This is highly classified. The administration is trying to go to court to block all this, but so much of it is already out there. Is that also a moot legal challenge . I dont know if its a moot legal challenge because im not familiar enough with how the law could play out but in terms of the Public Relations challenge, youre absolutely right. This is not going to slow the spread of information that john bolton is offering to share in this book, and as dan correctly says this is all a piece of the portrait that weve seen from other officials over time. I think that it will be up to individuals to decide whether they care or not, but i think for people who voted for President Trump in 2016 taking a chance because they didnt like Hillary Clinton or didnt like president barack obama or whatever their reasons were, we told themselves that donald trump was playing a part in 2016. The aggregate of these portraits make clear that this is who he is and what you see is who he is and how they decide that factors into their vote remains to be seen, but i dont think that the administration is going to successfully stop people from knowing what is in this book. Maggie haberman, dan balz, grateful for your help on both of these big stories and well continue to watch as this continues to play out legally. Other important break news now. One of the officers charged in the Rayshard Brooks shooting in than thea has turned himself n. Cnns Diane Gallagher joins us with that breaking news. Diane. Yeah, john, just a few moments ago, officer Devin Brosnan, the original responding overs to the incident that led to the death of Rayshard Brooks turned himself into the Fulton County jail according to his attorney. Hes currently being processed as we speak. Brosnan was facing three charges in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks. The first one being aggravated assault because the District Attorney says that brosnan stood on Rayshard Brooks shoulders while he was still on the Ground Fighting for his life there at that wendys in the parking lot. The other two were violations of his oath of office. Now, the attorneys for brosnan had said that theres a mischaracterization when it comes to the standing on the shoulders of mr. Brooks. They said that brosnan actually sustained a concussion during the scuffle with brooks on the ground and that he was disoriented and he was unaware at the time according to his attorney that brooks had been shot by rolfe and he didnt know at that point in time and if you remember yesterday during this press conference with the District Attorney he initially said that brosnan had turned states witness but his attorneys for the officer who is on administrative duty right now came out and said that that is not the case. He is not a states witness, that he spoke openly and honestly in the interview with the District Attorney the day before the charges were announced but that he was not a states witness, and at that point he had not even agreed to plead guilty to those charges. They believed that he is at this point not guilty and are going to continue doing that, but, again, john, he is being processed as we speak. He will have a bond unlike at this point were told by the District Attorney the other officer, Garrett Rolfe, who is facing 11 charges, the most serious of those charges against the former officer gave the rolfe who was fired the day after the killing of Rayshard Brooks is felony murder. John, that carries a penalty of up to life in prison or even the Death Penalty upon conviction. Rolfe is also facing five aggravated Assault Charges. Two of those are against mr. Brooks, one for shooting him and the or the District Attorney says is for kicking him. The three other aggravated Assault Charges are for individuals who were inside of a car that was hit by a bullet during that shooting. Theres a proper damage charge as well as violation of his oath charges there. Rolfe, as far as we know at this point, has not turned himself in to the Fulton County jail just yet. I just tried to contact his attorney to get an update on that situation, but, john, as we know right now the current former or the officer Devin Brosnan at the Fulton County jail being processed right new as we speak on those charges related to the killing of Rayshard Brooks. Diane gallagher, appreciate the reporting on the breaking news. Let us know when we hear the update on officer rolfe, now fires offereders rolfe.

Break news out of florida this hour, new numbers on the coronavirus, and theres reason to be concerned. Lets go straight to cnns rosa flores in miami. A new record. How bad . Reporter you know, john, you and i were talking about this yesterday, and yesterday we were talking about 2,600 cases. This time 3,207 covid19 cases in it the state of florida on thursday alone. Like you mentioned, that appears to be a record. Were checking to double check that, but, again, the cases in it the state of florida continuing to rise. Last week we were talking about 1,000 cases a day. Over the weekend that turned into 2,000 cases a day which weve been talking about this week and now more than 3,000 cases. Now, yesterday, john, after your show, we got a response from Governor Ron Desantis office saying this is all due to aggressive testing in communities that have outbreaks, like prisons, longterm care facilities, agricultural communities, Migrant Worker farms and other areas, but we also talked to an expert at fiu that looks as these numbers regularly and infectious diseases, and she says that this is not just due to increased testing, that this is due to a real increase in the number of covid19cateses and that it should be of great concern. The mayor of miamidade yesterday saying that there is an uptick in cases, that he is concerned and also that theres an increase in hospitalizations. You and i know that thats one of the metrix that both Governor Ron Desantis and all the leaders at the local level have been worried about because of those hospitalization numbers. Now, john, one of the things that mayor jimenez said yesterday is that for everybody, businesses included, if you think that this is not your business to social distance, to wear a mask, he said that they are going to make sure that people know that it is their business. They are sending out Police Officers to businesses, parks and beaches to enforce those guidelines. John . Rosa flores with those very concerning new numbers out of florida. Lets take a look at how they fit in the national perspective. Again, the president says the coronavirus is fading. You look at the numbers and you decide whether thats the case. If you go back to april, the newly confirmed cases, you do see its a bit of a drop but now in recent days starting to head up a little bit, the sevenday moving average still more than 20,000 new cases a day confirmed in the United States. That might be manageable, but it is not fading, and you can see it starting to trickle up right there. This number if encouraging is the right word, this is always terrible, you do see the death toll is coming down, trending down. The sevenday moving average. Still between 500 and 1,000 americans dying every day from coronavirus but down from the highs we saw in april and early may as we come down into midjune. This is the map that is concerning. Rosa flores just reporting the new numbers from florida. See the dark red, that means 50 more cases this week than you had last week. That is not heading in the right direction. By no standard, even if its manageable or even if you have the hospital beds you dont want to be 50 higher this week than last week this deep into the n pandemic, but thats happening in nine states, deep red on your screen, 50 more reporting this week. 23 states, nearly half heading in the wrong direction. Eight States Holding steady and 19 states, thats the green, the northern half of the country and then out here heading down, but 23 states heading into the wrong direction, florida among them. Such a large state, 50 more cases this week than last week. If you look at that. Just some of the states were going to watch in addition to florida. You can seat lines they are all going up. Arkansas in green, utah, oregon and oklahoma, and if you look, if you go back to early april, they are all down here reopenings, right . Reopenings start, reopenings start to accelerate and you can see this happening. Again, not necessarily a disaster but a sign for concern. As you see it tick up here, oklahoma, where the president goes for his rally this weekend. You can see the shelter in place order lifted the beginning of may. You see a flat line for a long time in the sevenday moving average but then in recent days you see that going up heading very much in the wrong direction. This is oklahoma. This is the United States of america. Thats 23 states. Numbers dont lie. 23 states going up. The case cause for concern. Listen to the president , says were done. If you look the numbers are very miniscule compared to what it was. Its dying out. Were very close to a vaccine and very close to therapeutics, really good therapeutics, and but even with that, it i dont even like to talk about that because its fading away. Its going to fade away but having a vaccine would be really nice, and thats going to happen. Lets discuss this with a an epidemiologist and e. R. Doctor and also a doctor of resolve to save life. I just went through the statebystate numbers and i want to be very careful. Just because a state is going up, we know that was inevitable when it reopened. Thats not a sign of disaster but when its a 50 increase from last week to this week, the president says its fading and its dying. Is it . I think in the United States we have a steady rate of around 20,000 to 250 infections in may and june but this highlights a mixed picture. Some states have increasing or stable cases and half are declining, so its really some of the states with increasing or stable cases that were concerned about, states that you mentioned like arizona, florida and texas, because multiple indicators indicate that there could be a problem there. Multiple indicators. Not just the case count but the hospitalizations. Right. And the stress and the system and positivity when you look at testing in some of those cases as well. Heres my question as a Public Health professional. When you have the president. United states saying its fading, its dying, essentially sending the message were on the good side and things are Getting Better and swen someone you work, scott gotlieb, former fda conditions, we need to get all the states in the green and the way to do that is for individuals to me wear a mask. Uniform masking would go a long way. One study showed if 60 of the people would wear masks youd get the reproduction number under one meaning youd have a declining epidemicic rather than an expanding epidemic. He used the words expanding epidemic. A lot of people that the president listens to its expanding, correct . Some, in parts of the United States its expanding which is extremely concerning and if leadership doesnt show urgency about it it makes our job as Public Health officials. Hear about dr. Fauci, one of the interesting things he said when hes trying to talk, when youre trying to talk, when people who do this for a living who are a hell of a lot smarter than a guy like me on this and we ask you questions, what should we do, what shall we follow and what piece of data is most important to track, dr. Fauci says there are some people out there who just wont listen. Unfortunately, there is a combination of an antiscience bias that people are for reasons that sometimes are, you know, inconceivable and not understandable, they just dont believe science and they dont believe authority. Thats unfortunate because, you know, science is truth. The. A, do you agree with that, that some people just wont believe science and therefore wont believe smart authorities like dr. Fauci and yourself, and if thats the case how do you break through it . I agree with it. There are pockets of people that dont agree with it and dont believe that maybe whats going on with covid, and i think it really requirements engagement with those communities to understand what are the reasons why and really, you know, use data to show the situation, and i think some of the things were advising for, we call them the three ws, wash your hands, wear a mask and watch your distance, those things are really low they are not very disruptable, dont cause a major disruption to your day, easy to do and prevent disease. Thats not in question so to have everybody do them and get on board with that, we really need to engage communities. That would be nice, and as youre right they are not all that disruptive. They make it pretty easy once you get them into your daily routine. Thanks for your insight. Dr. Anderson cooper and dr. Sanjay gupta tonight, a brandnew coronavirus town hall right here at 8 00 p.

One of the two atlanta Police Officers involved in that deadly shooting of Rayshard Brooks is now in Police Custody himself. He faces an aggravated assault charge. The officer who shot brooks, Garrett Rolfe is facing 11 charges, including felony murder. Joining me, mr. Lewis, thank you for being back with us again to help us with your expertise. I want to focus on officer rolfe, who has yet to turn himself in. He faces the most serious charges, here 11, charges, including felony murder, five aggravated assault, four violations of his oath of office and damage to property. What youre hearing from prosecutors, b. S. , my client was doing his job. Listen. Im kind of getting tired of saying that mr. Brooks was running away. Mr. Brooks was not running away. Mr. Brooks turned and offered extreme Violence Toward a uniformed Law Enforcement officer. If he was able to deploy the taser, it would incapacitate officer rolfe through his body armor and at that point if he decided to disarm another officer, he would be in possession of a firearm. Help me through this from two perspectives. Number one, as a prosecutor, how do you read that video . The lawyer is wrong when he says he not running but correct when he says he does try to use the taser. If youre the defense lawyer you tell the jury, look, you may not agree with what my client, the Police Officer, did, but at that moment in the heat of it, he saw the taser and decided to pull his firearm. Well, john, let me make two comments. First of all, georgia law is muff more forgiving of Police Officers use of force. When im licensed to practice in minnesota not in georgia, but i did take a look at the georgia use of force statue, and it actually justifies the use of force against someone who possesses a device when used offensively as capable of inflicting serious bodily inj y injury. So i totally expect officer rolfes lawyers to be latching on to that as a possible defense as justifiable use of force. Secondly, i was somewhat surprised at the felton county attorneys reliance on a case called grand versus connor because this is a case that helps the prosecution. Grand versus connor is a case that police invoke all the time and this is why jurors are told that they need to judge the officers use of force not by a reasonable persons standard but by a reasonable Police Officers standard. Theyre supposed to give deference to the Police Officer and not use 20 20 hindsight. There is plenty of room for the defense to maneuver to create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury regarding the use of force here. And help me with this one from your experience, especially in the castile case, you thought you had a strong case, the jury wouldnt great. As the prosecutor made his announcement, the Georgia Bureau of investigation said we are in the process of conducting this investigation. Although we have made significant progress in the case, we have not completed our work. The gbi was not aware of the press conference before it was conducted. We were not consulted on the charges filed by the District Attorney. If im a defense attorney for mr. Rolfe, im going to use that statement to say the people charged with doing the investigation had not finished their work, this is about poll te poll politics, not the law. If youre the defense attorney, youre going to make any possible explanation of why the prosecution is moving faster than the facts allow. Youre correct. The authorities usually wait for the state body thats usually charged in doing these investigations to present evidence. But keep in mind there is a lot of public pressure to bring these charges earlier than later. That was the case here in minnesota. And its often the case in many states that you do file these charges quickly by complaint. Theres plenty of time to add to the evidence, to conduct the investigation. As i understand, it will be presented for consideration by a grand jury for indictment. So the fact that theres still opportunity to provide more evidence, gather more evidence shouldnt be fatal to this prosecution. Don lewis, as always, appreciate your expertise and insight.
