Death. We have our forensic and legal experts of analysis but first, we want to go in the courtroom, omar jimenez tells you the day in court. Reporter in one of the most highly anticipated moments of the trial. You conducted the autopsy on mr. George floyd . I did. Reporter hennepin countys Chief Medical Examiner dr. Andrew baker took the stand. With respect to mr. Floyd, you didnt see any damage to the heart . Thats correct. Did you note anything resembling a pill or pill fragments in his stomach . I did not. Reporter it listed the death as homicide but specifically cardio pulmonary arrest complicating Law Enforcement constraint and next compression. No mention of asphyxia. In my opinion, the Law Enforcement subdue l restraint and next compression was more than mr. Floyd could take by virtue of the heart conditions. Reporter according to testimony friday, in june 2020 he told investigators of george floyd, if he were found dead at home alone and no other apparent causes this would be acceptable to call on o. D. Or overdose but added at the time, im not saying this killed him. Have your certified deaths as an overdose where the level of fentanyl was similar to the level of fentanyl in mr. Floyd . Yes. Does metheamphetamine constrict vessels. Meth is not good for a heart with a condition. Did you rule out Drug Overdose as a Cause Of Death . Yes. In this case i believe the primary mechanism of death is asphyxia or low oxygen. There is no evidence to suggest he would have died that night except for the interactions with Law Enforcement. Reporter dr. Thomas pointing to the autopsy itself saying ordinary, that would be all she needed. Not this time. In this case, the autopsy itself didnt tell me the cause and manner of death, and it really required getting all of this other Additional Information specifically the Video Evidence of the terminal events to conclude the Cause Of Death. Reporter the Cause Of Death the jurors are now left to wrestle with. So in your opinion, both the Heart Disease, as well as the history of hypertension and the drugs that were in his system played a role in mr. Floyds death . In my opinion, yes. Reporter the prosecutors pressed the dr. Further. Those other conditions you consider direct causes, is that true . They are not direct causes of mr. Floyds death. Omar jimenez joins us now. Is there any sense how the jury reacted to the part about Heart Disease and drugs . Reporter the jurors were very engaged during dr. Bakers testimony and crossexamination. A few of them for example seemed to take extra notes during the part where dr. Baker talked about if he found george floyd inside a locked home without any other factors, he would have considered this an overdose case. While another juror seemed to be annoyed at the line of questioning coming from the defense squinting his eyes and shaking his head at various points and these are the dynamics that really matter at this point. How these jurors are interpreting these exchanges on arguably the most important topic in this trial, George Floyds Cause Of Death. Now, also, in court, we had a representative from the floyd family who is there who had to look through these incredibly graphic Autopsy Photos but for the first time in over a month, he actually had someone seated in the Family Representative Spot for Derek Chauvin, a wop w woman who appeared to be of east asian descent. Thanks. Joined by forensic scientists, professor at criminal justice. Professor, what did you make of what we heard today from the Chief Medical Examiner . Well, the primary Cause Of Death cardio Pulmomen Nnary Arr was brought on by Law Enforcement. The subdual of george floyd, the restraints they used and Neck Compression created a situation, a condition his body couldnt overcome but the important part of dr. Bakers testimony involved all of these different significant contributing factors. He spent a lot of time talking about mr. Floyds coronary arteries, two of which were eluded to the level of 70 while one, the other, these are large vessels, was e colluded 90 . These are important vessels that feed blood to the heart. The fentanyl level he had as we now know is 11 nanograms per 11 milliliter which is a lethal dose for a normal healthy person. What i didnt hear much about is tolerance. George floyd was a drug abuser and had built up a tolerance and thats an important factor. Fentanyl Depresses Respiration and methamphetamine is dangerous to the heart at any level, and although there was a small dose, it could have impacted on the heart. The other point is that the restraint created but Law Enforcement created a very stressful fsituation that resulted in the adrenaline flowing throughout his body and adrenaline speeds up the heart. All of these factors create difficulties because there isnt enough oxygen coming into the body, especially with a knee on the neck compressing the area, very small area where oxygen or air has to come in to feed the lungs. I found all of this fascinating because it simply contradicted the other experts. Remember, these are Medical Examiners dealing with post mortum cases after death but a pulmonary doctor found it to be normal and said no, fentanyl played absolutely no role in the death. Methamphetamine played no role. The enlarged heart and Heart Disease played no role in the death. Real contradictions. These are all prosecution experts. I think eric nelson has the defense is trying to push the point his Underlying Health conditions, his heart and that really should be focused on but i think most people would look at the mechanism of high hypoxi. The Focus Of Baker was on the heart and the focus of other was the impact on the brain resulting in an inability to breathe. Lawrence, appreciate it. I want to get perspective from laura coats and kathryn flynn, Criminal Defense Attorney representative of the Baltimore Police officer cleared in the death of freddie gray. Floyd, do you think the P Prosecution got what they needed to convince the jury Derek Chauvins knee to the neck on george floyd in the prone position he was in caused his death in. I think they did because it came at the end of other medical experts that laid the foundation for the Medical Examiner. These reports are written, they are not really written to be fictional novels or dramatic readings but in their own colleague base. He wrtalks about the kochcompli, is that normal or otherwise. The other two experts, forensic, Pulmountil Gis laid the foundation. He only has the Process Of Elimination to guide his or her analysis but here as was explained earlier in the testimony today but dr. Thomas, you had the benefit of the terminal event, all the steps that led up to it through widely covered video from Vantage Points to allow them to get the full complexity of what happened and informed him but i think his positioning and the sequence of witnesses is what was so convincing and compelling. Kathryn, the Medical Examiner said today while floyd had Heart Disease and drugs in his system, they were contributing decisions and not direct causes of his death. Under the law, does that mean the jury should find chauvin guilty or should they take into account these other factors . Thats obviously going to be up to the jury. They certainly could reach the conclusion that the state is asking for but you have to keep in mind the defense is setting this up an expert to testify, those Defense Experts will have the opportunity to have listened to all of this evidence and theyre going to be prepared to respond directly to the states evidence, and those are, i assume, highly regarded experts and been well prepared and the defense is going to be prepared to answer all of those points that were established today in order to argue to the jury that if the experts are disagreeing as to the Cause Of Death, thats reasonable doubt. Yeah, i mean, the defense did zero in on the level of fentanyl found in mr. Floyds system. They were able to get the Medical Examiner to testify that that amount of fentanyl, if he had been found in a hypothetical home with no other evidence, no Police Attack or handling, that that could have been, you know, listed as a Cause Of Death. How much of a problem do you think that presents for the prosecution . Well, you see, the defense cant play the games of being too cute with hypotheticals and both prosecution and defense seems to be wary of them because of the obvious contradictions here. Remember, you cant take away all the different factors that are this particular fact pattern. You cant say if there had never been a Police Encounter, could you say the Police Officers caused the death . The idea here of trying to take away and strip down to the bare bones to become absurd is aware and obvious to a jury. You have to be careful since yesterday they got caught up, the defense was trying to take a sliver of something talking about whether george floyd said he ingested drugs or otherwise. You have to be careful. In any other event, there is not so much contradiction. Cardiac arrest as described but multiple witnesses is the secession of the heart. How it actually occurred . You add a cardio pulmonary arrest meaning the lungs and heart stopped and weve identified the mechanism by the Law Enforcements restraint. There is not a lot of contradiction here to point out if youre the defense. Laura, were you surprised the defense answered a hypothetical question . Because it seems like in any hypothetical setting, there are so many factors to go into something, its a hard question to actually answer. Well, theyre not required to answer the hypotheticals if they have their, you know, outside of the courtroom but until the judge said they dont have to answer the question or there is an objection that allows them not to have to answer, they are compelled by vir few of being a testified witness and to point out why this was not the case here. It also is their credibility when theyre willing to answer and concede certain points but you have to bring it back around as the prosecution said, fine, what were the facts in this case . The jury recalls there was a 9 minute and 29 second video that reminds them there was a Police Encounter and at the end of it, were here. Kate rhryn, what do you thinf the defense so far and how they are doing . Well, i think theyre doing generally as well as they can. I think, you know, we have to wait and see what their experts are going to testify to. I mean, theyre clearly laying the groundwork for their witnesses testimony. Theyre setting it up. Theyre doing it bit by bit. What you try to do as a Defense Attorney is get pieces from every witness then you ultimately can weave together for your Closing Argument and trying to present a situation so their expert witnesses can come in and testify and hopefully be as equally persuasive as the states witnesses have been, its clear to me they are methodically building the opportunity for their witnesses to come in and sort of answer the questions that they have been sort of opening up with some of the questioning of the states witnesses. Kathryn flynn, appreciate it. Laura coats, thank you. In a moment more reaction to the trial. The family for george floyd will join us and Benjamin Crump sharing what he believes jurors will take away from todays testimony and whether the defense did enough to create doubt in the mind of jurors and matt gaetz moments ago smoke to a womans group as he faces a federal Sex Trafficking probe. He told the group quote i have not yet begun to fight. This is a Key House Committee announced a new investigation today. Details when we continue. Especially with their sensitive skin. Thats why we always look for new Tide Hygienic clean free. It removes the visible and invisible dirt. Its got to be Tide Hygienic clean free. The Defense Attorney for Derek Chauvin spent much of the day pressing medical experts about other factors that could have contributed to George Floyds death. While Heart Disease could be a contributing factor, he said quote it was the stress of that interaction that tipped him over the edge. Want to get perspective from their attorney Benjamin Crump. Im wondering your impression of what you heard in court today. Well, anderson, i thought it was consistent with everything that we saw on the video. Everybody said that george died as a result of the interaction with the police even though they may have had knew wanss, they were consistent with what the Pulmountil Gist said yesterday and what we heard from the police chief and all the police that what Derek Chauvin did, anderson cooper, was unnecessary and a violation of policy and so we still believe that the jurors have enough evidence to base their verdict of guilty based on not only what they saw but on the volume of medical testimony. The Chief Medical Examiner did testify today that Heart Disease and drugs likely played a role in mr. Floyds death were not a direct cause. Do you think that does that concern you . Does it open it up for somebody on the jury and, you know, it only takes one person to have some reasonable doubt . Well, anderson, as ive said many times before, we dont take anything for granted when it comes to a Police Officer being held accountable for killing a black person in america and justifiably. We know that history normally allows the police to escape any accountability no matter how much evidence we have. But when you think about dr. Thomas, the doctor who testified before the Medical Examiner who actually helped train the Medical Examiner, she said that the manner of death is homicide, that the mechanisms of death is something that a Medical Examiner doesnt normally put in a report. They would all refer back to the Pulmountil Gist and yesterday he clearly said george floyd died as a result of Derrek Chauvin ad the other Police Officers causing him not to be able to breathe. Do you have a sense of how long the prosecution may continue to present their case . Well, it is my understanding that theyre nearing the end and i know that floyd Family Members are scheduled to testify early next week. And do you im wondering what you think of what the defense has been doing. Well, i honestly think the defense has done exactly what we thought they would do. They would try to distract us. They would try to have us look over here, look over there and not focus on the video they blame everybody and everything except Derrick Chauvin. They blame the crowd. This angry black people who were begging for georgias life as a reason why Derek Chauvin kept his knee on George Floyds neck 9 minutes and 29 seconds. They try to blame the paramedics. They tried to blame trace amounts of drugs, but anderson, we all know when we watch that video on may 25th, 2020, what killed george floyd and i believe the jury listened to every word of this testimony and they know what killed george floyd. The only thing we all doubt, anderson, is the only thing we all wonder still is can we get equal justice in america as a marginalized minority when a Police Officer uses Excessive Force against us . Do you think Derek Chauvin will take the stand in his own defense . I think its going to be a very desperate attempt to salvage his defense of him taking the stand and the more strategic the prosecution is and building this very compelling case, it may necessitate that Derrick Chauvin take the stand. Most lawyers would never let their client take the stand in a case like this. Yeah, Benjamin Crump, ap appreciate you being with us. Thank you.

The House Ethics Committee is opening its own investigation into the conduct of Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz. Hes facing a federal investigation started under attorney general bill barr examining allegations he had sex with an Underaged Girl who was 17 at the time and other women who were provided drugs and money. Congressman gaetz office denied any wrongdoing and said quote these allegations are false and have not been validated by a ink is single human being. Gaetz spoke to a group of women at a rally at the former president s golf resort. Reporter tonight, Congressman Matt Gaetz taking the stage under a cloud of suspicion promising hes built for battle and no going anywhere. The smears against me range from distortions of my personal life to wild and i mean, wild Conspiracy Theories. I wont be intimidated by a lying media. Reporter still, the accusations against gaetz have at least one member of his own Party Calling for him to resign. Why does rep Adam Kinzinger think he should go . The accusations are stacking up. The Daily Beast Reporting Gaetz sent two late night venmo transactions in may 2019 for 900 to Joel Greenberg a former seminole florida county Tax Collector and accused sex offender. The next morning in an eightminute span, greenberg used the same app to send three young women money totaling the same amount. All of these women are extremely young. Meaning what . One turned 18 six months before that happened. Reporter cnn has not independently confirmed the report or what the money was used for. From the start, gaetz denied doing anything wrong. Its a horrible allegation and lie. Reporter and there is more, separate from the allegations of sex crimes, the New York Times is also reporting investigators have been told of a conversation where gaetz and a former prominent lobbyist arranged a sham candidate to siphon votes from an allys opponent. They cautioned that aspect of the inquiry was in its early stages. Gaetz did not responsibility to the times request for comment on the al glegations. All of this hitting closer to home for the congressman in an unavoidable way. A liberal Action Committee put up this billboard in the Florida Panhandle that reads matt gaetz wants to date your child. Randi, joins me now. What kind of reaction did matt gaetz get tonight . Reporter its interesting. The group that organized this is called women for america first. Interesting group considering the allegations gaetz is facing. They loved him here. He got a lot of cheers. Friendly territory. The woman that runs this organization is a longtime supporter of donald trump. It was trendily lyfriendly terr. He was trying to bring the crowd to his side. They made it sound like theyre all in it together. When you see the leaks and falsehood and smears, they arent really coming for me, theyre coming for you. He mentioned this is a week full of encouragement and plenty of donations, anderson . Hes been fundraising off this. Thanks very much. Perspective from Legal Affairs columnist for the Los Angeles Times and former attorney for the u. S. District of pennsylvania. Harry, thanks for being with us. We heard randi reference the alleged venmo transactions. Cnn isnt able to Indepe Indepenindependently confirm. If it accurate, how damaging can that be . The big thing now, anderson, the web is becoming so much more tangled. In fact, the Ethics Committee charge actually gives a lit ine of the criminal. We start with the sex, drugs and videotape that weve known about in this sort of way with Joel Greenberg but its bringing financial missteps and possible crimes and i mean of all sorts. Bribes, illegal gratuities, misuse of funds and alteration of documents. The venmo itself, its how ham handed he used to and by the way, as soon as this came out it was quickly made invisible from his records, which had been public before. He also uses apple pay. There is an overall sense of him as a kind of entitled guy, smug, arrogant, the sort of person people like to see brought down but thats in his dealings with greenberg and what is really, i think, happening now is were understanding its about much, much more than did he or didnt he have sex with an underaged minor and rather a whole kind of broad potential series of crimes that would justify the Department Of Justice having greenberg cooperate against him because there is enough out there. So youd have greenberg and some of the Women Victims and now in the financial crimes even other witnesses. I think we dont know the full letter and of the law but we know that it broader and broader. You know, its interesting. I saw a number of your tweets about this and you were talking about how the Department Of Justice as it is currently configured, they would not be looking to do a plea deal with this greenberg character if what does it tell you that theyre looking to do a deal with greenberg about the potential crimes that they believe gaetz may have committed . I think it does tell you a lot. You start with the premise that we now have a sort of Conneconscious By The Book attorney general. The rule is you dont cooperate down even if youre getting a big scalp of a congressman, you need the conduct to be equal ly culpable. When a prosecutor stands up in front of court yesterday and says we expect a plea, thats not a cause al statement. It means its been run probably through to garland himself since there is no deputy yet in the seat in doj and theyve determined two things, one, that gaetz overall is as culpable when everything is put together and thats what we dont know yet and two, that theyre going to be able to use greenberg and he is a troubled, flawed witness of course to give substantial assistance. Think just wouldnt say it otherwise. Garland wouldnt say it otherwise so of all the sorts of swirling possibilities, it was that fact, i think, that has shown through as the most significant. Interesting. Harry, appreciate you being with us. Thank you very much. Still to come one vaccine make there requests expansion of the use for children 10 to 15. Ill talk to sanjay gupta about that and remembering Prince Phillip who died at the age of 99. Well have a live report from windsor. Ill be right back. With moderate to severe Crohns Disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. Is she alright . I hope so. So i talked to my doctor about humira. I learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. The majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief in as little as 4 weeks. And many achieved remission that can last. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. If your money is working toward the same goals, why keep it in different places . Sofi is a onestop shop for your finances designed to work better together. Spend with sofi and get cash back rewards that automatically go toward your goals. Like investing in stocks, etfs, and crypto. Thats better together. Or pay down your sofi debt sooner. Thats better together. And thats how sofi is helping millions get their money right. Major step today to get children vaccinated. Pfizer is asking the fda to expand the Emergency Use Authorization and allow 12 to 15yearolds to get the vaccine. It already authorized for ages 16 and up. How likely is it do you think the fda will approve the vaccine for 12 to 15yearolds . It looks very promising, anderson. This is sort of advancing the timetable. You remember dr. Fauci said maybe the fall before we would see this but pfizer is applying for an amendment to the Emergency Use Authorization and that might expedite it faster because theyre just trying to change the existing Emergency Use Authorization to include this age group. If the data holds up that pfizer released, it should be pretty promising. It had a very good Side Effect Profile and there were no cases of illness in the vaccinated group of people in these 12 to 15yearolds so well see. But it does look promising. There have been some reports of an adverse reaction to the Johnson Johnson vaccine both in the United States and europe. Can you kind of put it in scale and context . Yeah, i mean, this is important to keep an eye on. There is a significant monitoring going on of the patients receiving vaccines. Were talking about four patients that developed blood clots, anderson. One was during the trial and three in the rollout since then here in the United States. These patients develop blood clots. Theyre not sure if these were directly related to the vaccine or not and thats part of what this review is going to be looking at. I should point out about 5. 5 million doses have been administered in the United States so that gives you an idea how rare this is but well see what this review shows. Weve been through the same process with astrazeneca. What have the trials of the Pfizer Vaccine in the age group that were now talking about shown . Because that was the question that there hadnt been trials of this. Right. So there is now there is these trials and in fact, they started trials on younger children, as well. Those results arent out yet. For the 12 to 15yearolds, around 2300 kids, half got p placebo and half got vaccine. There was a group that got sick and they were in the Placebo Group and measure antibody levels. Antibodies is something everyone knows about. They measured these to give an idea how much immunity these kids were developing and it was high immunity, which is another good sign. Safety profile is very similar to what they have seen. You have began before the pandemic working on a documentary about the Anti Vaccine Movement. It airing tomorrow. Can you tell us about it . We started working on it before the pandemic. Goes to show, vaccine he issita is not a new phenomenon. Ive always wondered this, anderson. Where does the anti vaccination movement, where does it start . Are its origins. What fuels it . Is a small clip. When the Anti Vaccine Movement started, it was a decision by federal agencies not to talk about it. The thinking is it will just give it oxygen. Then, what was then fringed, meant main stream. The internet and social media put the anti vax movement on steroids. The federal agencies, the scientific societies, the academic societies all kind of stuck to their guns on the old strategy, dont give it oxygen. And that had a disastrous effect because it left a vacuum that allowed this anti vaccine lobby to flourish. A lobby hotez says has become well constructed, well planned and highly effective. The target specifically ethnic groups where they think they can make headway. Tonight there is alarming news about the worst outbreak of measles in minnesota. So they did this with the somali Immigrant Community in minneapolis in 2017. Dont listen to your doctor or anybody, listen to your rights. They held town hall meetings, conferences and convinced the Somali Community vaccines cause autism and responded by not vaccinating their kids. The result, a measles epidemic. 21 kids ended up in the hospital. It amazing to me, anderson, how targeted some of these anti vax campaigns are. Very strategic and more relevant than ever given what were going through. Vaccine hesitancy is 20 and the issue is 20 of adults dont get vaccinated without vaccinating kids, it will be very hard to get to herd immunity. Thats why we wanted to show this film. Sanjay, appreciate it. Look forward to that. A Special Report The Truth About Vaccines airing tomorrow night at 9 00 eastern on cnn. A look of Vaccine Hesitancy in one state and the effort to get people to change their minds and roll up their sleeves for a shot. Before the break sanjay told us about his special airing that digs into Vaccine Hesitancy but there is good news, more covid vaccines are going into the arms of u. S. Adults. One in four adults, more than 66 Million People are fully vaccinated where 112 million received at least one dose. In some places that sanjay mentioned, the challenge is getting people to sign up. Jason carroll tonight has a look how one state is trying to i reet eat right. Reporter Health Officials are trying to reach people like this man, a 60yearold truck driver who has been eligible for more than a month but has no intention of getting the vaccine. He is a supporter of former president donald trump. He is not alone in rejecting a vaccination. A recent poll shows fewer than half of the republicans say they have gotten the vaccine or intend to do so as soon as possible. Compared with about eight in ten democrats and almost six in ten independents. That hesitancy is happening despite many gop leaders, including former president trump, encouraging people to get vaccinated. Everybody get your shot. Im not going to do it. I am the way i am. Thats how it is. Reporter joy, a parttime hospitality and medical worker, also says her mind is made up. She will not roll up her sleeve for a shot. I think its a medical and political. Im up and down with the government as it is. I think that there are certain things that they put out, i dont think even know. Reporter even though it is shown to be safe and effective, she thinks it was rushed and concerned about possible longterm side effects. I have to watch and pray i dont get. Reporter Health Officials in maine are encouraged by a survey in early march showing four out of five unvaccinated adults plan they plan to get the vaccine. But acknowledge Vaccine Hesitancy could jeopardize their progress. The states cdc director cautions its not just politics keeping shots out of arms. Its not a monolith. Theres a diversity of views. Some folks have questions because they are skeptical of the government. Other folks have questions because they are skeptical of pharmaceutical companies. Other folks have questions because they are skeptical of vaccines in general. I think the trick that we as a Public Health community have to do is meet those folks where they are. Reporter this county has one of the highest percentages of covid cases in the case. On this day, volunteers from a Health Advocacy group are going door to door urging residents to sign up for the vaccination. They are targeting members of the Immigrant Community, but they will engage with anyone. Did you get vaccinated . You dont want to . No. What if i tell you that its medically proven, approved by doctors . I got my shot. All my team got their shots. I think its safe. I dont believe in it. Reporter volunteers say conversations like this are not unusual. Why the hesitancy . Basically, its something to do with Conspiracy Theories thats going around. Reporter the state is planning more outreach by mobilizing doctors to address the concerns of those across the anticovid vaccine spectrum. They may not listen to me. They may not listen to someone in d. C. They will listen to their doctor. Still, for some, there may be little convincing. Is there anyone that could influence you to get the vaccine . No. Reporter jason carroll, cnn, portland, maine. Still to come, remembering Prince Philip. How the royal family will pay tribute is next. Theres strength in every family story.
