documents we have here the dates all seem to be like 2009ish, 2008. do you believe that whatever pressure was applied that this was done then at the time mr. bates was trying to be certified so he could go on these different police actions as opposed to now as a cover-up? well we don t know officially yet. they have to re-train every year. it could have been at any point during that when this was going on. and we don t know because we haven t seen any of the records that we ve asked for. when one thing to note the trainers ziva i want you to make that point but here s the question that tees it up. the trainers who said we got pressured and they moved us was that recently or was that back when he was originally trying to get on as a deputy? it was back when he was trying to get on as a deputy. he d already been accepted in the program. then there was the falsification of the field training records initially. then the handgun qualification records after that is what we
even have been carrying a gun. the newspaper, tulsa world, is reporting that some supervisors at the tulsa county sheriff s office were ordered to falsify the training records for robert bates. tulsa world reports that at least three of bates supervisors were assigned reassigned after refusing to sign the training documents. the report does not say who asked the supervisors to allegedly falsify the records. the paper says the false records give bates credit for field training he never completed and firearm certifications he should have not gotten. the training documented obtained by cnn omit the names of the supervisors who signed off on them. records show in the last seven years bates has taken a variety of courses. everything from weapons training including glock, taser and rock river training as well as less than lethal delivery system training sessions. the sheriff s office denies the allegations. and the newspaper s report. they also decline cnn s
sources said were transferred, were disciplined because they refused to sign off on training that bates never received includeing weapons training. let s unpack this a bit. you re saying your sources tell you basically two big headlines. the first is he didn t get the training they say he got. the second one is and when the training instructors were approached to help falsify his training some refused and they were acted upon they were removed. do i have it right, dylan? yes. they were pretty much immediately that s what we re being told. we heard it from numerous sources who didn t know each other the same details over and over. we now have records to corroborate this. all right. so two other big let s talk about those records. what do you believe you have that proves it other than your interviews and reporting? there are some records we can discuss and some we can t. but bates in his statement which we obtained yesterday said that he had become an advanced deputy
i m going to violate the no-fly zone. and i m going to land on the capitol mall. he was fully prepared to be blown out of the sky. this is new day with chris cuomo, alisyn camerota and michaela pereira. welcome to new day. alisyn and michaela off. poppy and john joining me. we have new questions about a reserve deputy who shot and killed a black man earlier this month. a new report in tulsa world says supervisors were ordered to falsify robert bates record giving the 73-year-old credit for training he never received. and now the reserve deputy program, the whole program that put bates on the streets with a gun in control of that situation is under review. this as copies of bates training record come to light. let s bring in our ryan young. he s tracking the latest developments for us. what do we know at this hour ryan? reporter: poppy, there are a lot of questions about the 73-year-old. in fact days after this shooting people had questions
it s about why mr. bates was there in the first place and whether he shouldn t have been. thank you very much dylan and ziva. good luck going forward. thank you. thank you. now, in the interest of completeness not only were we reviewing what the sheriff s office said at the presser yesterday, but we asked them to come on this morning. they declined. they did however say that tulsa world report is unsubstantiated and deceptive. poppy. aaron hernandez waking up to a very new reality this morning, that he will spend the rest of his life behind bars. the former nfl star showed little emotion. but there was plenty of drama in the court as the jury convicted him of first-degree murder. and a judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole. jurors are now speaking out about the verdict. our susan candiotti has been following this and joins us from massachusetts with the details. reporter: hi poppy. aaron hernandez is waking up this morning in a prison that is not that far fro
