Good evening, im erin burnett. We begin with breaking news a grand jury indicting all Six Police Officers in the death of freddie gray the 25yearold black man who suffered a severe spinal cord injury while in police custody. He died from that. Earlier today Marilyn Mosby made the announcement in a lastminute press conference. He also added a new charge of reckless eng dangerment for all six officers. Additional information has been discovered and is often the case during an Ongoing Investigation charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence evidence. This of course was the video of freddie gray. You can hear him here scream in pain as hes dragged by officer to a police van. This triggered days of unrest in baltimore. There were riots, looting and violence. Miguel marquez is outfront. I think this is important to emphasize, this is breaking news. We did not know this was going to happen today. She came out, gave the press conference all six officers indicted. Whats the reaction there . Reporter well look we had a pretty good idea Something Like this was going to happen before the initial appearance on the initial charge that she brought. But this is an absolute stunner by the Baltimore City states attorney and a huge change in the trial in the course of the justice here with these 28 charges being brought. Keep in mind she brought 28 charges the first time. There are 28 charges now. That word is only getting out now. Were on a corner here in west baltimore, one of the corners that have has seen some of the recent violence here from the street violence has been happening here. The 300 Men March Movement that has been out here in force several years and certainly big in several week to try to keep the peace in these neighborhoods and keep young black men from killing each other, theyre outer here starting to react. They think it really strengthens her case. The fact that you had citizens of the city hear the evidence against these officers in the death of mr. Gray and that they came back with very similar charges sends a powerful signal. Now, miguel you know, she came out with this announcement as you said significant and shock in some ways. But you know it was not all victory for the prosecutor today. She was forced to change a few of the charges that he shad filed against some of the officers including false imprisonment and assault. Shes obviously been under fire for weeks for what critics say was overcharges and her own alleged conflicts of interest. Whats the bottom line. Is she stronger or weaker tonight . Reporter well it sounds like shes much stronger now that you have individuals from this community that actually heard the evidence and that shes been able to get them to charge these individuals. Its not clear to me how much this really affects her case one way or the other. She had been a motion had been filed by the police union, by the defense lawyers for the Police Officers asking her to recuse herself in from this case. That us with filed in one court. Now this gets her critics to shut up because it goes into another court system and theyll have to refile or rethink their strategy. She has great support in this neighborhood and across west baltimore, i think, and its going to be difficult for the defense to go that publicly with what they did before i think, at least in these quarters. Its become a much tougher chess game in baltimore tonight. Shes much stronger tonight. Miguel thank you very much. Outfront now, baltimore defense attorney kirk knockman. He worked with Marilyn Mosby for four years. Kirk let me start with you. You know her well. The grand jury decided to indict all six officers including Second Degree debraved heart murder against the driver of the van. That was something that the critics said she overcharged said there was no way it was going to be held up. A grand jury just held that up. Whats your reaction . My reaction is that im not really surprised. I mean the old quote from bonfire of the vanities is a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. What was surprising to me was what wasnt charged. The three false imprisenment counts as well as three counts of Second Degree assault for lieutenants rice, officer nero and officer miller were not charged. Theres only one of two possibilities. The one possibility is the states attorney general changed her theory of the case and now the knife that she assad was legal shes now recognized that it was illegal. Or another possibility, the grand jury saw the knife, as they have to right to do and decided not to charge those counts. As you point out, that is significant. The knife has been at the heart of this. People say if the knife didnt hold up up nothing was going to hold up. The knife didnt hold up but the most serious charge did. People thought everything hinged on the knife. Yes. Another option here is not that she decided the knife was suddenly illegal when she thought it was legal before. I think its far more likely the second option the grand jury asked to see it and they made a different decision or they said it was at least plausible that a Police Officer could believe that this knife was illegal and therefore the falls imprisenment went from there. Go ahead. The only problem with that is that as a prosecutor i was a former prosecutor im a defense attorney you dont charge a case, especially as publicly and wide open as was done in this case without having all of the facts and without knowing exactly what the knife was, whether or not it was a lawful knife or unlawful life. Right now im going, wait a minute if were incorrect about this what else are you incorrect about . What im disagreeing what im saying is im not necessarily conceding that shes suddenly decided or conceded herself that the knife was in fact illegal. There was some technical points being debated about whether its an illegal knife or a legal knife based on the spring action how it opens. And what im saying is they may have decided that was too fuzzy to indict. That doesnt necessarily mean that she didnt have all of the evidence. The bigger question is the other stuff. Right. I want to get to that. Kirk are you surprised that they would go ahead everyone said the knife was so important. If she was wrong about the knife whereby whether she decided she was wrong or the grand jury decided she was wrong. It almost doesnt matter. If she was wrong about the knife, they wouldnt be able to go ahead with the murder charge. But they are. That is significant, right . That the knife is suddenly, okay maybe not the most central thing. You know thats a really good question. Im not sure what the states theory of the case is at the point. It sounded like from the original charging a they were going with one theory and now it seems as though theyve done a complete aboutface and now theyre going to hang their hat on the seat belt and the seat belt issue. The problem with that is i read recentry that this general order which was supposedly had come out two weeks prior to this didnt get finalized and approved until two days prior to the incident. So the question would be are the officers are on proper notice . Have they been notified of the new yen order . Just as an example, if the officer was on vacation two days before and didnt check his email or go to roll call, he would have no idea that the general order had changed. Thats going to be a critical issue. Now what about the issue that you kirk said at the beginning, you know a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich. People make that comment all the time except it isnt always true. Didnt happened in the case of eric garner and didnt happen with michael brown. One thing thats different is it dus reflect the racial demographics of Baltimore City 63 black. Thats what we understand. And of course you didnt have that of course in ferguson. You had a grand jury that was white when you had race as an issue. Do you think thats part of it . I think it is part of it. The reason you could indict a ham sandwich is because the prosecutor could make that happen. Many of us believe that the ferguson prosecutor didnt have a chance to make that happen. But in in case you think that a jury that would be primarily black did make a difference . I think a jury that saw the evidence and saw a compelling argument from the prosecutor made the decision. I would like to think that white citizens who saw compelling evidence would make the same choice. And kirk, whats your verdict. You heard our reporter saying Marilyn Mosby who has been under fire overcharging been under fire for a conflict of interest because shes linked to the attorney whos representing the freddie gray family. He says no question tonight, she is emerging much stronger. Do you agree . Youve known her for a long time. I think that the issue with the knife, you know as a defense attorney again, i cant emphasize that enough. As the prosecutor you wear the white hat. You always have to be on the right side of the law. One of my old judges said that any appearance of impropriety is too much if youre a prosecutor. So in this case weve got a situation where she said the knife was an issue and now its become abundantly clear theyve backed away from that position whether by choice or by the grand jurys decision which is not the prosecutors choice. The grand jury in this situation could have decided not to indict. Its rare but it could have happened. Interesting that you still think the knife could be at the center of it. Well have very msh conversations about that. At this moment were learning that texas officials are investigating new threats from biker gangs about Law Enforcement. Words that biker gangs have grenades and c 4 explosives. Were going to have the breaking news here as the reporter is breaking it in just a quick moment.

Breaking news we have an intense manhunt under way tonight in new york at the hour authorities canvassing the city desperately serging for the suspect behind a horrifying quadruple murder in washington. The suspect on the run is this man, 34yearold daron dylon wint. Sources tell cnn they bound and tortured a couple their 10yearold son and their housekeeper last week and he ate pizza while doing it. Setting their home on fire. He took off with 40,000 in cash. Tonight the suspects girlfriend is speaking with police. She claims wint arrived in brooklyn last night by bus. Says they spent the night together. Hasnt been seen sense. Pamela brown is live in washington tonight outside the home. What are you learning tonight about the suspect . Reporter well were learning from authorities the 34yearold daron wint the suspect had the connection to the family through their company. We also know from Court Records she has been arrested several times over the last several years and also police saying today that hes armed and dangerous as this massive manhunt more for him continuing tonight. D. C. Police say 34yearold daron wint is the suspect in the brutal killings of the d. C. Couple savvas and may hi savopoulos their 10yearold son and their housekeeper. Wints Girlfriend Told Police he fled to new york on a bus wednesday night a. Even his family has made play pleas for him to turn himself . He served briefly with. Marines but left before completing basic training hes had more runins with police and work at american ironworks with the Construction Company where Savvas Savopoulos was ceo. Theres a connection through the business of the suspect and the salve lob lows family business. A major break in the case came on wednesday and specialists recovered wints dna on a pizza crust. A nearby dominos franchise says he delivered pizzas to the home that night and left the food at the door unaware that the family was bound with duct tape inside. It is incredibly brazen. Shows an almost of calm that the person didnt feel rushed. Investigators say savopouloss assistant dropped off around 40,000 in cash to the familys house. The assistant was apparently told not to come inside. This as we learned more grisly details about the murders. Phillip savopoulos had stabbed wounds and was killed before he was burned beyond recognition. He was a sadistic killer. The son might have been used as the tool to make sure the parents were compliant. Reporter so while wint is still at large, d. C. Police chief kathy lanier said today there could be more suspects involved with this case. She cannot rule that out. The funerals for the family are set for june 1st. Making this heartbreaking, they had two daughters who were aware at boarding school when that happened. Pamela thank you very much. Outfront now, dr. Lawrence kobilinski and Brian Russell is also with me. Let me start. You heard that fbi officer in pamelas piece talking about this individual and how he felt calm and didnt feel rushed the fact that he could go ahead and order a business z, have them come to the door. We understand these victims suffered blunt forbes trauma. The 10yearold boy was stabbed and tortured in nont of his parents while the alleged suspect was ordering and eating pizza. What kind of a human being is capable of doing this . Its unfathomable to think about spending and enjoying money that they got by taking someone elses life. Not only did he do that he took multiple lives. He killed a kid. And not only that he did gratuitous violence. He inflicted extra suffering, the only purpose of which could have been the fun that he got out of it. That takes it to a whole other level and makes this guy likely to be a psychopath, not only uses others as means to an end but actually takes pleasure in inflicting suffering on others erin. Someone who is sadistic. Doctor you heard pamela also reporting there could be others involved. The suspect that they have mr. Wint. What does it say to you that he would erase the Home Security footage, he would burn the home down to erase all of his tracks and yet pizza was left. I guess he presumed that would be burnt down. But yet his dna is on it. First of all, its clearly premeditated. Theres no question about that. But what happens often in burglaries is that people make mistakes. They leave their calling cards behind. They break glass. They bleed, they cut themselves they drop hair thats got dna. They drink out of beverage containers orange juice, a glass they leave fingerprints. In this particular case there was a casual hunger. And there was a need to eat pizza. Well that pizza did him in. Evidence collection teams know that you can secure dna from food. Okay. People will saliva would still survive in a fire . Saliva is a great source of dna. Fire, or son, is a good way to destroy evidence and it can destroy dna. I think that the pizza crust was spared from the arson. It was sufficiently intact that you could secure a good sample. And you know where the bite is you not only have bite mark evidence but theres saliva there. So what we have to do is collect the sample from the right region and the rest is standard operating procedure. Now, brian, investigators are looking for a motive. Heres what we do know tonight. We know that the suspect, wint used to work at american ironworks. That is the company that the victim owned. What does it say to you that he attacked his former employer. Theres no evidence by the way that they would have known each other. All we know about wint is that he is registered as being a former welder which would fit with the idea of american aaronworkaaron ironworks but we dont know if thats his role there or not. Theres multiple motives. Theres a financial motive. There may also be a revenge motive if hes a disgruntled employee and there may just be this psychopathic motive that i talked about, this enjoyment of being able to inflict suffering on people. One thing that is important for viewer to understand do you think it could be partly random. He knew this guy was wealthy, he wanted some sadistic pleasure, that was the name that came to mind . I think this guy probably knew that this was a house that would have a high chance of him being able to find cash there and probably knew that based on the Business Practices that he became familiar with as an employee. But its important for the viewers to understand this is not a mentally ill person who is running around doing things that are out of his control. This is a person making cold calculated conscious decisions to inflict harm on other people. You cannot under estimate the danger imposed by this guy. The people in the search ya should take the same level of caution if there was an isis person in their ninds. Theres no reasonable expectable limit to what this guy is willing to do. All right. Well i appreciate both of you taking the time. The suspect is on the run tonight. Were going to continue our breaking News Coverage with the latest on that story. Police are on the hunt for the murder support daron wint. Were going to give you the latest on that hunt in new york. One of our next guests is a man who knows car roon wint very well.

Officials warned of new threats were following breaking news out of new york tonight. A major manhunt under way to track down a deranged fugitive wanted in the murder of four people including a 10yearold boy in washington. The suspect is daron dylon wint. Hes been on the run. Police say he tied up a couple their 10yearold son and housekeeper. He tortured them stabbed the young boy in front of them. Killed them. Even setting their home on fire. One psychologist just telling us he is not mentally ill. This was cold calculated and conscious. Wints girlfriend is speaking to police claiming wint arrived in brooklyn last night, planned to turn himself in to police but officials are bracing themselves in case he does not intend on turning himself in. Theyre afraid of him being on the lose. Debra feyerick is in new york. What are they saying about how close they are to finding him . Weve been talking to a lot of Law Enforcement forces today. Police believe sometime after the mushds is suspect traveled to brooklyn. They had been tracking him by cell phone. Police say hes got friends and relatives in this area specifically a girlfriend. And that girlfriend was picked up this morning, taken to the 69th precinct staging house, was questioned by detectives and federal Law Enforcement agents. Two sources are telling cnn that the Girlfriend Told Police that the suspect said she planned to surrender, possibly by returning to washington, d. C. Well clearly, hes not surrendered. He remains a fugitive. Authorities believe that the girlfriend may be covering for him or at least there is enough conflicting pieces of information that theyre not quite sure whether in fact shes telling the truth. Now it does appear according to a Law Enforcement source that the suspect ditched his original cell phone and that he may now be using someone elses cell phone. His family has appealed to him to turn himself in to surrender are. But right now youve got a major manhunt under way. Youve got u. S. Marshals police both from new york and as well as the metropolitan area in washington, d. C. All looking for him using every available resource to try to track this guy. Thank you very much. As deb gets new developments shes going to bring them to up. Bill stanton joins me along with robin picker. A former attorney for car ron wint. Very significant that you know who he is. Let me start with you. You have defended wint in prior cases. When you heard he is the suspect in a horrific evil act, there are no other words than those to describe this what did you think . Its not his act. Hes a nice guy, hes patriotic, hes kind. I defended him in six cases. He was not found guilty in any of those cases in 2005 and 2006. Theyre got the wrong guy. Its not him. Its a witch hunt. Its a group grope. Theyre out to get him. Why is the Mayor Holding a press conference putting out his picture. Why dont they let the police do his work find him, bring him in for questions in indeed he wants to be questioned. Why are they trying the case in the media and brand him publicly. How do they know he was armed and dangerous . They know he was there, right . Theres no evidence that a gun was involved in this case. Well whatever it was, there were stab marks all over an 8yearold boy, theres evidence they have dna evidence i was just talking to a forensic pathologist. He said theres no question they were right right about the dna evidence. He was in the house, ate pizza. His Job Description was a welder. We dont know if thats what he was at the company. Certainly you dont expect them to be sitting there having pizza together. No pizza man said she delivered spiz za to mr. Wint. They said they left it outside the house. His dna was found on the pizza, sir. Where did the pizza crust come from where they supposedly found the dna . They havent said where it was. Was it in the trash can behind the house . Where was the dna. Ive had many cases where the dna results have been thrown out of court because they simply arent valid and they well be contrived in this case. Bill what do you say to that . I think the counsel check his intellectual honesty at the door. What is next if the glove doesnt fit we must acquit. We have a sociopath and a coward. They matched his dna to the crust. The fact that he said he defended him six times, isnt that statement enough . This man is out there. If hes innocent let him turn himself in. This is making no sense. I think between the pd in maryland and the nypd, the overand under 24 hours on this theyll have him and they will be tried and the good counsel can do his best. Have you spoken to your former client and told him to turn himself in . Im not going to have any comments about any clfrgss i. May have had with him. Its unbelievable to me that he would do anything like this. They should be checking on people who have been convicted of torturing animals or torturing people in other case,s not a good guy like this who tried to get into the marines. To be clear, theyre looking at other people. But robin, this is also a guy who has a rap sheet, charges of Second Degree salt burglary sexual offense, the Washington Post reporting he alemg edly threatened to killed a woman and her twoyearold daughter. I havent heard you use the term convictions. Hes presumed innocent in this case. We must never forget that hes presumed innocent until tried and proven guilty. And i predict at the end of all of this erin burnett is going to be saying not guilty. Well this nice guy right now is alleged to have tortured a child, to have burned human beings whether they happen to be before or after they were killed or alive. This man is reprehensible and i say hes a coward. Let him turn himself in before anybody else is hurt including himself. Counsel, i sincerely hope you look at yourself in the mirror and listen to what youre saying and reconsider what youre saying. This isnt a good person. What proof is that there mr. Wint tortured any child . What proof tufdo you have sir . You have a vivid imagination. Youre saying how hes a nice guy after youve defended him six times. I think its little dubious at best. Not guilty in all six cases. He was not found guilty in any of these cases. Well lets get him now. Counselor if youre in communication with him, i would think youre doing him a service and the community a service by negotiating his sush rend are. Hopefully youll do that if you are in communication. And robin, if you are in communication with him, that would would be telling him to turn himself in you would be communicating with police and doing all of that right . I think he should have a nice long talk with an attorney about any possible alibis on the day in question and talk to an attorney about his future. But not turn himself in to police . I think he should talk to an attorney before he turns himself in with where the police might force him to Say Something that she shouldnt say. He has the right to remain silent. Dont forget that. Robin, thank you very much. Bill thank you very much. Outfront next isis seizing a new city another prison and military base in their hands. But president obama says the u. S. Is not losing to isis. Breaking news out of texas tonight. Official statewide. We just have this alert in. Were going to have the details of bikers looking to retail yat against police for shooting their brothers. Sergeant with the waco police is going to joint me right after this.

Were helping organizations transform the way they work so they can transform the lives of the people they serve. Breaking news texas officials investigating new threats against Police Officers from criminal biker gangs. This comes on the heels of the deadly shootout between motorcycle gangs in waco. Evan perez is breaking the story at this moment. He joins me now. I know you have some new information about a warning thats very specific. Reporter tlrts. This is a warning sent out by the Texas Department of Public Safety goes out to Law Enforcement now around the country really. The warning says that the members of the bandidos and the black widows motorcycle gang members are seeking to target Law Enforcement officials. Now that includes top members of Law Enforcement and their members of their family. Now according to this warning, members of the gang are trying to get or getting supplied with grenades and c4 explosives. The idea is to perhaps target Law Enforcement officers at traffic stops and even to follow them home and target them there. Now, theres some specific locations mentioned in the warning that has gone out and that includes Austin El Paso dallas Corpus Christi and houston. These are some of the biggest cities in texas. We know that weekend, the coming memorial day weekend is often a very important time for motorcycle clubs to do some gatherings. So its something that Law Enforcement is definitely concerned bt. As i said incredibly specific talking about grenades c4 explosives targeting police as well as members of their family. Out front now, Sergeant Swanson op the waco police department. Thank you for being with me. This warning, you just heard evan going through it. Youve read it. You received it. How worried are you . It is certainly something for Law Enforcement to be aware of. And unfortunately in our line of work its something we deal with day in and day out. I would however like to say this to those that are listening that are making the threats. The incident that occurred here sunday afternoon on a lazy sunday afternoon in waco texas, was an absolute tragedy. However, those of you that were there know that we did absolutely nothing to start that. We would ask you to remember that and remind you that although you have totally different ways from us Law Enforcement did not start the melee that occurred at twin peeks on sunday afternoon. When you see the specifics of this, they talk about grenades they talk about c4 explosives and they talk about not just targeting lamplt officials like yourself but also the families of Law Enforcement officials. I mean do you make this seriously or is this something that you think is bravado. Do you think something horrible could happen . Im trying to understand where this falls on your spectrum. It falls very high on the spectrum of increasing our awareness and threat levels. Certainly something we consider. We live with the threat every day. Thats something that were aware of and were ready to respond to in the event that its necessary. What are you telling officer to do to protect themselves . Are you making any changes for people at their homes, with their families when theyre on the job . What kr ku doing . We wouldnt comment on the specifics of what were doing to protect ourselves. I appreciate your time. Thank you very much. Next isis taking control of a key city on the same day the president obama says the United States is not losing against isis.

The terror group making big gains across iraq and syria. Announcing theyve taken full control of the city of palmyra. Fears tonight that isis will destroy these ruins which are thousands of years old in syria. Isis also releasing video claiming control of oil and gas fields in syria. And in iraq moving in on baghdad striking another town on the road to the capital. Plus an attack on a military base southeast of fallujah. Still, president Obama Holding firm telling the atlantic magazine that quote, i dont think were losing. Were on the ground in baghdad. Arwa, where you are, does it feel like isis is winning or losing . Reporter it certainly does not feel as if isis is losing withing making all of the significant gains. They just recently managed to tame over the last Border Crossing between iraq and syria that was under Syrian Government control after Syrian Forces withdrew from there. Look heres the problem in all of this. Is that the u. S. Tends to try to look at it as progress or not progress winning or losing without having a full comprehension it would seem or a realistic understanding of the dynamics on the ground when they dont fit the narrative that america wants to put forward. Yes, as the u. S. Said, this is a longterm battle. It is going to last potentially four years. But americas strategy visavis iraq is not working and its not going to be working moving forward unless there is a there is a comprehensive strategy that encompasses both sereyria and iraq when it comes to trying to defeat isis. Arwa damon, thank you very much. Out front now, retired colonel peter monsour, served David Petraeus during the iraq surge. Our reporter on the ground you just heard her, said it doesnt feel like isis is losing. The president said today, quote, i dont think were losing. Every day isis gains ground or holds ground which were seeing every single day. Is that a failure for america . Well it is. I would characterize the situation right now as one of strategic equilibrium. Coalition gains near mosul and tikrit have been offset by isis games in ramadi and paul mira. We allow it to consolidate its gains, gain new adherence, bolster its defenses and really stalemate in the long run benefits isis far more than it benefits the United States iraq or anyone else opposing is isis. President obama put the blame on the loss of key towns specifically ramadi on iraqi forces. The United States is the one thats supposed to be training iraqi forces and we hear how a few isis fighters are defeating hundreds a thousand iraqis at a single time. The United States can they really say they can train iraqis to fight and avoid putting american troops in . I mean is that just a farce . I dont think the fighters, or the Iraqi Army Forces in ramadi were actually trained by our train and equip effort. What it does show the train and equip effort isnt big enough, isnt substantial enough to train all the iraqi Army Formations that are required to defeat isis on the ground. I think in the end the president either this one or the next one is going to have to back off the no boots on the ground mantra and put u. S. Combat advisers into these iraqi Army Formations to make sure theyre competent, well led and have sufficient support from the air and logistical in order to defeat isis. All right, colonel mansoor, thank you very much. Thanks erin.

California is under a state of emergency tonight, a Massive Oil Spill along the Santa Barbara coast it turns out is five times bigger than anybody thought possible. Crews are desperately trying to clean up more than 100,000 gallons of oil. At least 21,000 gallons has reached the ocean, and wildlife have been suffering along this beach. You can see the crabs, pelicans, youre seeing these animals dying a gruesome death. Sara sidner is out front from Santa Barbara. The pictures of the dead animals, wildlife drenched in oil are incredibly disturbing, hard to watch. Are they going to be able to save any of them . This is just horrible looking at this pelican. Are they going to be able to save any of them . Reporter yes. They have five right now that theyve rescued, pelicans that they say are very stressed out as you might imagine, they are covered in oil but theyre trying to get them cleaned up. They also have a young sea lion that they have taken into a refuge that they are saying is about 35 of its body covered in oil. Theyre going to try to clean that animal up as well. We also noticed just earlier today there was a dolphin out there swimming in the area where there is still an oil slick. So obviously theres going to be a lot of animals who are affected by this and never mind the flauroura and fauna, we can see oil around the coast. You can see it spotted all along the rocks. It is a big task but theyre definitely going to be able to save some of these animals. Err erin . Im glad they can save some. I know its hard, with each of the little feathers to get the oil off, you cant rinse it off and its fine. Plains all american pipeline the name of the company here, responsible for the ruptured pipe that is call this. They actually from your reporting have a history of safety infractions. What have you learned . Reporter yeah thats true. Their history is not a good one. Between 2004 and 2007, there were 10 oil spills if places like louisiana and texas and kansas. There were so many of them that they were sued and had to basically come to an agreement with the Environmental Protection agency a settlement 41 million settlement that they agreed to spend that money on upgrading 10,000 miles of crude oil pipeline. And just last year this past may in los angeles, one of their pipes ruptured. Crude oil was all over the street. 10,000 gallons of it on an l. A. Street. That happened just last may. The company we tried to talk to them about that as did many others. Heres what they had to say when we questioned them about their record. How do you explain the record of your company when it comes to spills and problems that youve had which far exceeds many other companies . Our focus today has been on the response to this incident. Ill be happy to follow up with you later to address other concerns you may have. But would you agree that your company has had more than its fair share of spills . Again we continue to operate, we move quite a bit of product across the United States. Reporter and they say theyre working with the epa, working with the government agencies. Bottom line they didnt really answer question. Lastly i want to tell you this beach in particular, refugio beach, is closed for a week. That gives you some idea how long the cleanup is going to take. Erin . Sara, thaurngnk you very much. The scenario here is the worstcase scenario.
