they didn t do something as simple as call a medic and that is unreasonable, ladies and gentlemen. and he that he be seat belted in that transport van. they didn t do it the defense my client went above and beyond the call of duty here. how did he do that? he did that because freddie gray was showing no sins of distress but immediately upon him knowing that he was. he notified that van transport driver goodson he notified his supervisor the sergeant and in terms of seat belting him that is advisory. it s not mandatory. i think that is what we will see. a lot of elongated fashion but that is the essence of it. a lot of people are watching this and they might be thinking, okay, so the defense is blaming the transport officer. that transport officer not come up for trial himself and depending on what happens in this one could it affect his
trial or at least public perception of him? absolutely right. you re concerned about that because you have a jury pool. remember, every trial is separate and distinct and every conduct or lack of conduct as it is in this case is distinct in terms of goodson, the transport driver, he is up next. he has the most responsibility here based upon what he is being charged with and the fact he is involved in the care, custody and control. what should he have done? he should have acted immediately upon knowing that there needed to be medical attention. so, sure that will come up thereafter. we will start that trial in january. i think this trial will stand on the merits of its own and, remember, we are talking about what an officer failed to do and we will be talking about that in goodson too. joey jackson, good to see you this morning. thank you. thank you. we are coming up to the top of the hour on new day. ted cruz knocked donald trump down to second place.
