Cell phone video capturing the Moment Police dragged him. What we do know for sure is that he was in good health when the police first contacted him. And he died of a an 80 severed spinal cord and three broken vertebrae in his neck. And thats not good. Freddy gray would then spend the last seven days of his life in a coma. Suzanne malveaux is following the latest developments for us. She joins us now live. Good morning. Good morning, carol. There are two particular periods of time that the protesters the family and the attorney want to know about. One of them is the time that he was arrested to when you see that cell phone video of him with his legs limp and his arms behind his back. The Second Period of time is from that cell phone video to the time that an ambulance was called some 30 minutes later. Look at that. His leg look broke. Look at his leg. Reporter that is freddie grey. That boy leg look broke. Being detained a week ago by baltimore police. The question now, how did the 27yearold go from this to this . Lapsing into a coma less than an hour later and dying yesterday . The questions that many of have you are the same questions that were asking. Reporter the attorney for grays family alleges the police are covering up what really happened. Baltimore police say they spot gray and begin to approach him at 8 39 in the morning on april 12th for reasons not yet disclosed. They say gray immediately runs away, just a minute later, police take gray into custody. And then 14 minutes later, at 8 54 in the morning, this is the first video we see of the event. Officers load gray into the police van. Police say Video Evidence indicates gray is conscious and speaking at the time. A half hour later, Police Request paramedics bring gray to a hospital. Grays family Attorney Says he lapsed into a coma and underwent extensive surgery. His spinal cord was severely injured and a week later he died at 7 00 in the morning. So two looming questions, why did Police Pursue gray and what happened to him while he was in their custody that resulted in his death . The officers believed that mr. Gray was either immediately involved or had been recently involved in criminal activity and they decided to make contact with mr. Gray. Now, that is still a bit vague. Reporter this most recent mystery into a Deadly Police encounter sparking more outrage. No justice, no peace. Reporter in a nation already embroiled in debate over Police Tactics and use of force. Though in this most recent encounter, baltimores mayor promises answers. I want citizens to know exactly how it happened and, if necessary, we will, i will ensure that we will hold the right people accountable. Reporter the Deputy Police commissioner says they suspected gray was involved in some sort of drug dealing activity. Grays lawyer says there is no evidence that he actually committed a crime. As you noted grays family as well as the protesters, those in support of him, and his family the attorney as well all gathering at city hall at this very moment to make their anger known to this Police Department the attorneys saying that baltimore has a long and sad history of a bad relationship with the Police Department. But they are more confident that this mayor and the chief investigator of the city will get to the bottom of this. Carol . All right. Suzanne malveaux reporting live for us this morning. Thank you. Baltimores mayor has promised to get to the bottom of what happened. She joins me now to take about that. Stephanie rawawlings blake, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me this morning. Carol, thank you for having me. Can you clear something up for us . Why was this man being placed under arrest . So thats part of the investigation, the ongoing investigation, that is happening right now. And my commitment is that we get to the bottom of it. I believe that we have to have transparency but at the same time we have to make sure that we are doing this investigation in a way that ensures that the people who need to be held accountable can be and will be held accountable. But mayor, isnt that a simple question . Why were Police Questioning this man, and why did they place him under arrest . Those questions should have easy answers, shouldnt they . Im not saying they dont have easy answers. But there is a waiting period until we can actually talk to the officers who did the pursuit, and we have to follow those procedures. Now, im not comfortable with all of the rules and the regulations around when we can question the officers. The community has those same issues and i went to annapolis and fought to try to level the Playing Field when it comes to the way that we treat officers that are accused of wrongdoing. I went down there and stood against very powerful Public Safety lobbyists in efforts to try to strengthen the our ability to hold officers accused of wrongdoing accountable. And i will continue that fight. Well explain that for us. So right now investigators cant question these officers because of what . Union rules . No the Law Enforcement bill of rights. Listen the officers all of the officers that were witnessed have been we have spoken they have been interviewed. Those individuals whose who are subject to or at risk of you know being held accountable criminally they have their rights. And we have not been able to interview them yet. We will get to the bottom of it. And ive been very clear that the Police Department will work with our States Attorneys Office to make sure that this investigation is done right. Ive also made it clear that like in other cases where weve had issues like this in the past weve we are preparing for an independent review of the investigation. So there are outside eyes taking a look at the investigation, and making sure that we get it right. We will get to the bottom of it. And while did you mayor just to make it clear for my audience because they might not understand what rules are in place in the city of baltimore or in the state of maryland so when you say theres an officer bill of rights in the state of maryland does that mean that that these officers have been questioned by whom . By people from your office . By internal affairs . By whom . The officers have a time period before which they they can be questioned by anyone. And that time period will run and then well continue this investigation. At the end of the day, we will get to the bottom of it. Well follow the rules. Well follow the procedures and make sure that this investigation is done in a way that is correct so we can hold the individuals who need to be held accountable accountable. That is my pledge. And were going to do this in cooperation with the States Attorneys Office and well do it in a way that invites outside scrutiny. Well have an independent investigation, as well. I want the public to have faith and trust in the information that we present, and we are going to protect that process. Can you tell us how many officers may be involved in this case . I believe at least 10 officers have been interviewed. But as far as involved i dont have that exact number. And as far as getting medical care for mr. Gray how long do you think that took . You know that according to the time line as we know it took around 30 minutes. But again, i dont have all of those details. And thats the information that we are determined to get to the bottom of. You know there are a lot of questions in this case. And a lot of details that need to be determined. And theyll be determined through a very very thorough investigation. All right. Mayor stephanie rawlingsblake thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me this morning. I appreciate it. Thank you. Boston still strong this morning. Todays marathon is about the triumph of a city. And not the ruthless attacks that ripped through the crowds two years ago. Hundreds of thousands of fans are lining the streets again, right now, and some 30,000 athletes will take part. Just minutes ago the race began for the mobility impaired that includes more than two dozen people seriously injured in the bombings. Minutes from now the elite women will line up for their start time followed by the elite men just about an hour from now. Alexandra field is along the race route. She joins us now with more. Good morning. Hey, good morning, carol. The marathon every year is a feat of strength a test of endurance but also of course an emotional day here in the city. You mention more than two dozen survivors will be participating in this race. There are going to be so many people out here to cheer them on and cheer them along. But this will also be a reflective day. A lot of people will be thinking of course about the three victims killed in the attacks in 2013. A lot of people running in their honor, as well. Earlier this morning, we heard from the former teacher of Martin Richard the 8yearold boy killed in the blast. He talks about why he decided to run in his former students memory today. I ran last year. I had never run a marathon before but it was a reason that i had to run for. Im running for the Martin Richard foundation. Martin richard was the boy that was killed a couple years ago in the bombings and was seen holding the sign that said no more hurting people peace. Happened to be a student of mine. He was such a sweet guy the whole family theyre really amazing people. And its interesting that hes become sort of a beacon of peace because he was a beacon of peace in our classroom. Race day has for so long been a beloved tradition here in the city of boston. There is tremendous resolve to keep it that way, carol. There are, of course extra security measures that have been put in place in order to keep the crowd safe. All of this we should point out happening while the trial of the boston bomber continues. That will resume tomorrow with the penalty phase of the trial starting and thats when jurors will soon be asked to determine whether or not to sentence Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to life in prison or death, carol. All right, alexandra field reporting live from boston this morning. Thanks so much. Lets turn to politics now. Hillary clinton sweeps into New Hampshire today for her first visit since announceing her 2016 bid. And she does it with overwhelming support from the people who could put her in the white house. Thats according to new cnn polls which show 69 of democrats say Hillary Clinton is their choice for 2016. Her closest competitor that would be Vice President joe biden. He gets 11 support. Everyone else, in the single digits. As you might expect hillarys frontrunner status is putting her squarely in the sights of her republican rivals. Heres what a few had to say during their own New Hampshire tour this weekend. Hillary clintons going to raise 2. 5 billion which, thats a lot of chipotle my friends. We can win. We must win. We will win. It is absolutely critical that we beat Hillary Clinton. Im starting to worry that when Hillary Clinton travels theres going to need to be two planes. One for her and her entourage, and one for her baggage. That was a pretty good line you have to admit. Our senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny joins me now from keen New Hampshire. Good morning, jeff. Good morning, carol. Theres only eight months to go and we already have polls out. How meaningful are these polls right now . Well carol these polls are a snapshot in time. Its a glimpse of wheres race is beginning. But if youre Hillary Clinton, if youre her advisers you do take a look at one number and thats the enthusiasm number. Democrats are much more enthusiastic about her running than a year ago. 58 of democrats say that they are enthusiastic. Only 41 were a year ago. Now that shes finally in the campaign shes outlining the early parts of her platform more democrats are enthusiastic. But look she knows better than anyone else that these early polls dont mean a lot. I remember eight years ago she was leading barack obama by so much. So thats why shes here in New Hampshire today. Thats why shes going to start campaigning aggressively. All right. So the vitriol, the real vitriol im talking about is yet to come. Theres a new book coming out called clinton cash the untold story of how foreign governments helped make bill and hillary rich its a long title i know. The New York Times snagged an advance copy and this is an excerpt from the times article. I know you havent had a chance to get a hold of the book. From 2001 to 2012 the clintons income was at least 136. 5 million, the author writes. During hillarys years of Public Service the clintons have conducted or facilitated hundreds of large transactions with foreign governments and individuals he writes. Some of these transactions have put millions in their own pockets. Now we know that Hillary Clinton is trying to run in support of the middle class, and she thinks something needs to be done about the wage gap. But when you look at the clintons income wont that be hard in the long run to convince voters that she can really relate . Care it is one of the Biggest Challenges of her campaign that she has to show that she can understand the troubles of working americans and middle class americans. But cant cross that line in saying im too much like you. We saw a year ago when she was releasing her book she said she was dead broke after leaving the white house. That comment stuck with her and is still with her. So that is the biggest challenge for the clintons here to show their empathy for her to show that she understands the problems and has ideas to close the income inequality and the wage gap. But to not make it look like that she actually feels their pain. Shes aware of their pain but she cant actually feel their pain. All right, jeff zeleny reporting live from New Hampshire this morning. Thank you. On the republican side a surge of support for marco rubio who is now in a third place tie with rand paul in those new cnn polls. Rubio moving up from sixth place just last month, jeb bush maintaining his lead in the crowded field, with scott walker continuing to hold second place. Rand paul coming in third. Mike huckabee and ted cruz rounding out the top five for voters. Huckabee grabbing 9 , cruz with 7 . Still to come in the newsroom a spike in the number of migrants fleeing terror in north africa. Hundreds killed in a capsized boat this weekend, and today more killed in another migrant ship sinking. Cnns karl penhaul joins us from italy. I care deeply about the gulf. I grew up in louisiana. I went to school here. Ive been with bp ever since. Today, i lead a team that sets our Global Safety standards. After the spill we made two commitments. To help the gulf recover and become a safer company. Weve worked hard to honor both. Bp has spent nearly 28 billion dollars so far to help the gulf economy and environment. And five years of Research Shows that the gulf is coming back faster than predicted. Weve toughened Safety Standards too. Including enhanced training. And 24 7 on shore monitoring of our wells drilling in the gulf. And everyone has the power to stop a job at any time if they consider it unsafe. What happened here five years ago changed us. Im proud of the progress weve made both in the gulf and inside bp. Financial noise financial noise financial noise financial noise man you run a business. Could be any kind of business.

Federal officials arresting six men in an alleged isis inspired terror plot in minneapolis and san diego. The undercover fbi sting is part of a steppedup effort to crack down on isis recruitment operations. Minnesota u. S. Attorney andrew lugar is speaking next hour on the case. Well bring that to you live when it happens. The threat of isis driving tens of thousands to flee north africa for europe in a perilous journey across the mediterranean. The number of migrant ships is soaring. And so is the number of deaths at sea. A rescue operation now under way for three separate boats traveling from libya. This as crews recover bodies from a ship that cappized near malta this weekend. Many hundreds are feared dead. The small boat packed with up to 950 people was heading from libya to italy. A survivor says many people were trapped on lower levels behind locked doors, as the ship went down. And just hours ago reports of another ship going down off the coast of greece killing at least three migrants. Maltas Prime Minister talked with cnn this morning, saying the human traffickers responsible are putting migrants on the road to death. This is tauntment to a genocide really. At the end of the day its been perpetrated by groups of criminal gangs which have in their hand under the control part of a country that is fast becoming a failed state. European Union Officials addressing the tragedy at a meeting today. They plan to call a summit on the crisis. Cnns karl penhaul joins me with more. Tell us about the latest rescue efforts. Is there any hope at all that some people might be alive . Well carol, you know you really get the sense here in sicily that this migrant crisis is escalating by the moment. In just the last two hours, weve had word that the greek navy and picked up survivors from a vessel there. There were new flonase allergy relief nasal spray outperforms a leading allergy pill. Most allergy pills only control one substance, flonase controls six. So go ahead, inhale life. New flonase. Six is greater than one. This changes everything. Where do you get this kind of confidence . At your ford dealer. Thats where our expert trained technicians. State of the Art Technology and warranty parts keep your vehicle running right. Its no wonder we sold more than 3. 5 million tires last year and durning the big tire event get a 120 mail in rebate on 4 select tires. Im brian vickers, nascar® driver. Im kevin nealon comedian. And im arnold palmer, professional golfer. Know what we have in common . We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. Thats why i took xarelto®, too. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. I took xarelto® for afib. An irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. Hey, well im glad we got together. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Tell me about it. Lets see, golf clinic, or blood clinic . Ooh, thats a tough one. Not this time. Not with xarelto®. Anything else . Ill have another arnold palmer. Ok. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u. S. And that numbers growing. Like your guys scores. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. You may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. There were problems. The fbi whistleblowers in the 90s or in the 80s, saying their packages were unscientific the report focused on one or led to internal Justice Department review of one agent, they found but they did not disclose to many defendants at that time and it didnt become public until 2012 the National Whistleblower center which was reported on. Some of the issues here are that Forensic Science Law Enforcement science has not been public and transparent like our other sciences. They did not disclose of methods, and studies underpinning them. This is an adversarial process. And other issues that judges have followed precedent so that when new scientific developments happen they dont take the oath off the books. The bad testimony can still get in. And then the courts or upholding the value of finality dont let defendants off of cases come back in to challenge their old bad testimony after conviction so they are in a way in a trap. The federal government the last several years created a commission to try and develop better scientific testimony standards, better Scientific Research underpinning. Bite marks, hair even comparing bullets tracing but bullets to guns which is another heavily used forensic technique. But at this point even the cases that you mentioned are just fbi cases the same 28 fbi examiners who interviewed now trained another 500 to 1,000 examiners going back to the 70s. Steven hsu investigator reporter from the washington post. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Tha a statement from two of the survivors, they told this to the boston globe about the next phase of the trial, they said we wish that you could feel the searing pain and terror that four beautiful souls felt before their death, as wells the hash be reality of discovering mutilated or missing legses. However we must overcome the impulse for vengeance. Those words from kensky and downes who are asking for death. Earlier the Richards Family put out their own statement asking for a life sentence instead of the death sentence saying the years of appeals would force them to relive the post painful day of their life. That day, of course, very much on the minds of everyone who is out here today, carol. But this is marathon day. Its patriots day here in boston. It is a beloved tradition and today were trying to focus on the strength of the city and celebrate the strength of the 30000 runners who will be heading out on this course. I know there should only be smiles today. Thanks so much alexandra field reporting. Still to come in the newsnight, shes president obamas pick to replace eric holder at the Justice Department. After a monthlong battle though, could Loretta Lynch finally get a senate vote . Well talk about that next. When salesman alan ames books his room at laquinta. Com, he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. So he knows exactly when he can check in and power up before his big meeting. And when alan gets all powered up, ya know what happens . I think the numbers speak for themselves. Im sold hes a selling machine put it there. And there, and there, and there. La quinta inns and suites is ready for you, so youll be ready for business. The ready for you alert, only at laquinta. Com la quinta people ship all kinds of things. But what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. That need to be kept at 41 degrees. While being shipped to a country where its 90 degrees. In the shade. Sound hard . Yeah. Does that mean people in laos shouldnt get their vaccine . We didnt think so. From figuring it out to getting it done, were here to help. If youre looking for a car that drives you. And takes the wheel right from your very hands. This isnt that car. The first and only car with direct adaptive steering. The 328 horsepower q50 from infiniti. Introducing new flonase allergy relief nasal spray. This changes everything. New flonase outperforms a leading allergy pill so you will inhale life. When we breathe in allergens our bodies react by overproducing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. Most allergy pills only control one substance, flonase controls six. And six is greater than one. So roll down your windows, hug your pet dust off some memories, make new ones. New flonase. Six is greather than one. This changes everything. You forgot the milk thats lactaid®. Right. 100 real milk just without the lactose. So, no discomfort . Exactly. Try some. Mmm, it is real milk. Lactaid®. 100 real milk. No discomfort. The long way for Loretta Lynch president obamas pick for attorney general could soon be over. Lynch who would be the first africanamerican woman to hold the post was nominated more than 160 days day. The delay the longest for an attorney general in three decades. But while lynch has received public support from several republicans, the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is holding her nomination as leverage to end a dispute with democrats over a Human Trafficking bill. Now another Top Republican says that dispute will likely end this week. Theres a Human Trafficking bill that passed almost unanimously out of committee. Over a detail. A detail that was found after it passed out of committee, its been held up and so whats happened is that and Loretta Lynch are being held together my sense is over the next 48 to 72 hours, that is going to be resolved. Okay my clock has started ticking right now. Because i dont believe it. Lets talk about this with cnn political commentator and former Obama Administration official. Ben ferguson is also a cnn political commentator and conservative talk radio host. Welcome to both of you. Good morning. Why are they fighting over this . Theres no controversy here. Welcome to washington right . I mean this is this is one of those classic issues where you dont give me what i dont want, and im not going to give you what you want. And thats the way that sometimes this works. I mean part of the big issue here was with the Human Trafficking bill is the fact that it basically came out of committee unanimously and then democrats act as if they were duped. They knew about this. The staff knew about this. Even democratic senator from minnesota said we did have the information that this type of wlang was in the bill and we still let it come out of committee unanimously. And then they try to cry foul. You cant do that. If you want to know whats up youve got to actually read the bill and see what benefit before you vote on it and now democrats say theyre upset about it and well now youre in this situation. Okay. So were in this situation, but do voters really care . Do the American People really care about some spat that the republicans and democrats are having over reading the bill . I dont think so. First of all the only person that republicans like less than president obama is eric holder. You have the attorney general sitting there, he has this he has this bag packed next to the desk, ready to walk out. Now month after month after month republicans come up with another reason to keep him there. With immigration. Now with the human rights bill. Its stupid. But this is actually dangerous. This is a top cop in the country. Youre now creating all this uncertainty with the department of justice. You should not be doing that. You shouldnt be playing politics. Of course democrats should have read the bill. But i think america deserves to have certainty. Thats true. The democrats should have read the bill. But the nations top cop is important at this particular time in history, isnt it ben, because of the problems with police alleged Police Brutality throughout the country . And the Justice Department is very involved. Sure but to quote van jones i totally agree with him. I mean eric holder is not well liked by republicans. He has done a great job in the eyes of democrats. Its not like the job has not been done while theres been this spat. And ultimately its going to be okay. When Loretta Lynch gets confirmed, i believe shes going to now because of this whole issue in politics and washington, everyone says they hate yet it happens and it works and thats how the system is sometimes, its going to be just fine. There has been no void out there that needs to be filled at the Justice Department. I know democrats have loved how long eric holders been around. In their opinion hes done an amazing job. Its not like he checked out either. Hes not on vacation. Im not complaining about the job hes doing. He did a great job. I know the people who work at the department of justice when youre waiting, listen september was when eric holder said hes leaving. Now its almost like were in late spring and summer is coming and when youre working there every day you dont know who your boss is going to be next week its just not good for morale. And also republicans saying they want to be the party of law and order. They want to be the party of Homeland Security. They were playing politics with Homeland Security a couple of months ago. I just think at a certain point we need to get on with the business of governing. Whats that . I think the Biggest Issue if theres anything to learn from this, you got to read the legislation before you unanimously put it out of committee. And then arent even having this discussion right now. I know they all claim theyve got accolades youve got to read the bill. All right. Were going to leave it there. Van jones, ben ferguson thanks so much. I appreciate it. Thanks. Still kwroerm carol. We know you have described the situation in yemen, it has already been described as a reports on the ground were hearing they confirm theyre escalating. All the while tens of thousands of civilians are trapped in the middle of that fighting. Including americans many foreign governments have managed to evacuate their nationals. But the American Government has said it is simply too dangerous. We traveled in to the besieged yemeni city of aidan and were able to bring out 60 refugees with us. We were the first boat to dock at port for weeks, carol. Theyve been waiting sleeping on the streets outside that port hoping that a ship would come by. This is what one of the americans we brought out with us have to say. Take a listen. I asked them to help us. That there is about 75 families waiting. At the part . At the part. My family has been waiting two weeks. We ran out of money. We ran out of food. We ran out of shelter. Were sitting there waiting for someone to come in and say, okay, lets come out. The u. S. Government has said that it is simply too unsafe for them to effect the kind of evacuations weve seen the indians, weve seen the russians, weve seen the chinese do. Its very difficult though to tell that to people like mulah. She says her son was an iraq war vet and being treated this way by her government makes her feel that she had risked he had been willing to give the ultimate sacrifice for his country, but his country has abandoned his mother in her time of need. Carol . All right. Reporting live for us this morning. Thank you. Ill be right back. Im brian vickers, nascar® driver. Im kevin nealon comedian. And im arnold palmer, professional golfer.

Tebow hasnt played since august of 2013 but right now there are reports philadelphia will sign him. Really . Cnns Sports Correspondent coy wire joins me with more. Seriously . Seriously. These are just reports. Jay glazer said that tebow will sign today. If it happens, that means that chip kelly thinks that tebow has a chance to play a role within his offensive scheme. Not likely hell be expected to compete with sam Bradford Mark sanchez or barkley for one of the three main starting quarterback jobs there. Hes completed only 47 of his passes in his career. He has averaged five yards per rush in the nfl. Perhaps kelly thinks he would be an asset in short yardage or other situations. A great locker room guy, too. To your question about media hype here thats what a lot of people are asking. Its already here carol. Check out this.
