out the taser, the black officer moved out of the way, i old my hand up and he still hit me. when he tased me now, he sat on me and twist me up. he didn t just taze me and put no cuffs on me. they sit there, sit on my back, twist my arm. mr. givens was not arrested, because it was apparently a case of mistaken identity. according to mr. givens account of the incident, the police were looking for his brother. mr. givens later filed a formal complaint against officer slager, but, this is key, officer slager s personnel file shows he was exonerated of wrongdoing in the incident. but now north charleston police spokesman, spencer pryor, tells the ap that the department will review its decision to exonerate officer slager in that case. mr. givens and his attorney held a news conference today and they joins us now. mario givens, mr. givens fiancee also eyewitnessed the incident. mr. givens, let me start with you. when this incident happened, it
pinch my arm, twist my arm. send me to new orleans for new years eve for the second year in a row. we just set the scene for you. the big show is at 9:00 eastern. behind me, the party will begin with a bunch of bands. it is a little, kind of ickey weatherwise but i ve been here a whole week. knowing new orleans, they ll come out to party. this is sucre. awning thing about king cake. absolutely. i get a king cake every mardi gras. and i get one for the first time for the holidays. i got the baby on the first try. reporter: so here s the baby. the baby is in the center. you have the baby. and will you just explain? i was tweeting a lot this afternoon about king cakes. and people were like you re early, you re early. a few days early. i m all about the sweet 365 days a year but in new orleans, when
their ground. we re going to take you live to washington in just a few minutes. in northern florida, it looks like the aftermath of a bombing. look at these pictures. but these vehicles were actually incinerated by fire after a string of crashes on interstate 75. ten people lost their lives in the wreck. drivers say they could barely see anything because of smoke from a nearby fire. there was absolutely no warning whatsoever. it went from being just, i mean literally i don t know how far, whatever you could see as far as you could on the interstate to just nothing. rolled my window down and actually started hearing thuds and crashes and it was so thick i couldn t even tell you where they were coming from. well, almost nine months after the u.s. raid that killed osama bin laden, defense secretary leon panetta says he s convinced someone in pakistan s government knew the terrorist leader was hiding in a huge compound near pakistan s military academy. in a cbs 60 minutes
