that he needed and then they gave him his miranda rights again and the interviews commenced again. he agreed to cooperate and that total interview i think was about 14 hours before he was finally, you know, had had enough and took it in. so if he wants to waive his rights, he doesn t immediately have to be booked and get a defense attorney assigned. again, we don t know exactly how severe his injuries are. i would think they re not that severe. they had an ambulance at the scene. if he required that degree of medical care, he would have been transported by ambulance rather than by police car. so in this case, it s really going to depend on what his attitude is when the agents try to talk to him. they ll give him his rights. if he says i m exercising my rights, i m not talking, then it s over. they ll go to the next step, he ll receive his medical treatment and then be booked and get a defense attorney. but if he waives his rights,
an arraignment, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps monday. in any case, at a time when he s physically able to be arraigned. so at this point, i assume, what, he s been read his miranda rights and at what point does he get counsel? he will get counsel more or less immediately, if he asks for it. certainly he will be read his miranda rights. this is obviously a very controversial subject involving terrorism investigations, but since this was an fbi arrest, this will he will be read his miranda rights. he doesn t have to ask for a lawyer. he could make statements that could later be used against him. that s after all what the miranda warnings are. you can have an attorney or you can make a statement. depending on jeff, let me jump in here. i want to check in with john king. he will either speak to john, you re hearing more? i just want to pass along information from our producer, who says two federal law
attorney s office will prepare a complaint, which will be an affidavit by an fbi agent which will lay out the basics of the case against him. he will then be arraigned. he will get a defense attorney and he will have an arraignment. in normal circumstances, someone arrested on a friday night would probably not be arraigned until monday morning. just because of the extraordinary circumstances here, he might be arraigned tomorrow if he s in medical shape to be arraigned. at the arraignment, two things will happen. there will be a discussion of bail. he will not get out on bail, obviously. but they will set what s called a preliminary hearing 30 days forward. the preliminary hearing will not happen. what will happen is in those 30 days, in the next 30 days, he will be indicted by a grand jury with the initial charges. then the case will be assigned to a federal district judge and that s when the case will really begin. but the next legal event will be
hear the footfalls of those approaching him. the hard cover provided by the military vehicles, other hand-held hard cover they can move into position. i train the fbi s hostage rescue team when they first came down to delta to get their national level hostage rescue 102/101. there are times when you go quickly, times when you stop and regroup and say we do a bit of a deliberate modification to our plan. it s all about preserving officer safety, preserving safety of the folks in the neighborhood and of course, in this case, they do want to take him alive because he will be a treasure trove of information. so that s some of what s going on right now. interesting, we have been seeing house-to-house searches all day long, obviously. elizabeth cohen reporting she spoke to somebody in this neighborhood where this operation is going on. we won t go into any more specifics on that. but that person, that neighbor, said that that person s house had not been searched. clearly, there are some ar
explosives and everything else. we re hoping. we re hoping that that would not be the case, if he s running for his life last night, after the gun battle with the police. that s tom fuentes, formerly with the fbi, who has been monitoring this for us. anderson cooper here taking over our coverage. i m here with john king and deborah feyerick. if you are just joining us, this is a pivotal moment in this manhunt that we have been monitoring all day long. authorities believe they have a possible suspect surrounded, located in a structure, we re not going to go into further detail than that for tactical reasons. we have reports, deb, what are the latest reports about flash-bangs? latest report is that they have deployed several flash-bangs from the ground, we re hearing eight. some of those could be echoes. they deployed a number of flash-bangs and are getting ready to deploy gas as well. they really want to stun him because they just don t know what kind of state of mind he s in. he ma
