Some even laying down on the middle of intersections. This as new video shows gray minutes after his initial arrest the last time he was seen publicly and alive. The video shows gray not moving lying halfin halfout of the police van. This is when police say they shackled his ankles. He wasnt responding. He was down his feet like this. And they picked him up and threw him up in the paddy wagon. Reporter what exactly happened to the 25yearold when he was placed back in that van remains a mystery. Something happened in that van. We just dont know what. Reporter an attorney for the Baltimore City police union tried to answer questions tuesday despite calls from protesters demanding the arrest of the six officers involved. The fraternal order of Police Defending the officers actions. In this type of an incident you do not need probable cause to arrest. You just need a reasonable suspicion to make the stop. And thats what they had in this case. Reporter more than four days after gray died from a nearly severed spine, cnn has been told the body will be released from state custody soon. And the family wants an independent autopsy. His relatives hoping for a Second Opinion on the cause of death. The most that you can say about freddie grays family is that they are totally devastated. They tried to process the loss of their son, their brother, their friend. Reporter and the mayor of Baltimore Stephanie rawlingsblake has reached out to the gray family wanting to meet with them to talk with them. We have learned they declined that offer saying now is not the appropriate time. What they are focused on is making those arrangements to bury their son. Alisyn. Thats understandable. Suzanne, thank you for that update. Well with four criminal investigations underway, are we any closer to finding out what happened inside that police van following freddie grays arrest . Cnns evan perez has that part of the story. Good morning, alisyn. The Baltimore Police union is firmly backing the six officers involved in the arrest of freddie gray. Union Officials Say five of the six officers have now provided statements to nvrgs. The officers now suspended with pay committed no crime, they say. Gray died after suffering a spinal cord injury the police cannot explain. Baltimore Police Commissioner anthony bats says another prisoner in a Police Transport van told investigators nothing unusual happened on the way to jail. The second prisoner that was picked up is that he didnt see any harm done to freddie at all. What he has said is that he heard freddie thrashing about. The driver didnt drive erratically. The Justice Department civil rights investigators and the fbi are now gathering evidence for their own investigation. The federal probe would have to prove the officers intended to deny gray his civil rights. And, chris, thats always a tough case to make as we saw in the shooting of Michael Brown in ferguson missouri last year. Right. And as weve learned too many times hearing about a federal investigation can often provide false hope. Lets see what happens in this situation. Thank you for the new reporting. Were going to have more on the latest in this investigation in just a few moments, but here is Everything Else that matters this morning. Were going to start with Michael Browns family expected to file a wrongful death suit today against the city of ferguson. A grand jury did not charge officer Darren Wilson for shooting and killing the unarmed brown leading to violent protest as youll remember. The civil lawsuit however has a lower standard for finding wrongdoing. A federal report later found the Ferguson Police department did unfairly target africanamericans. Saudiled forces are pounding southern yemen with air strikes targeting Houthi Rebels. The houthis recently vowed not to surrender are now calling for peace talks. Becky anderson is live for us in abu dhabi with the very latest. Becky. Reporter good morning to you. The saudis insist that this action is consistent with the end of the monthlong Operation Decisive storm phase one as it were michaela. An operation renewal of hope phase two they say, which is part political, part military. These air strikes are to protect civilians from militia while behind the scenes all willing stake holders work on the implementation of this u. N. Resolution. Heres how the saudi ambassador to washington explained things wednesday. The houthis should be under no illusion that we will continue to use force in order to stop them from taking yemen over by aggressive action. Reporter but its not just in the air or on the ground that things are, lets say, getting nuanced. It is in the waters off of what is the arab worlds poorest country that are complicated. Notice what could be the impending showdown between u. S. Warships entering the gulf of aden led by Aircraft Carrier theodore roosevelt. U. S. Officials telling us the mission is to monitor those iranian cargo vessels that could deliver arms to Houthi Rebels. But whether the u. S. Navy will actually move to block those iranian ships from entering yemeni waters is undecided at present or at least nobody is talking about it. So that remains to be seen. Alisyn a very complicated situation. Yes, complicated and tense. Becky, thanks so much for explaining that. When he will a humanitarian crisis slowly overwhelming italy. Thousands of desperate migrants coming ashore theyre fleeing africa and the middle east. European leaders holding another emergency meeting today. Will they send those refugees back . Cnns Senior International correspondent Nick Paton Walsh is standing by live at a Migrant Detention Center in libya. Nick. Reporter alisyn here behind me you can see the scale of the problem that europe and here libya to the west of its capital tripoli tripoli, is facing. There are just 350 migrants here but predominantly from africa a third in fact from heavily authoritarian area. Now, this is right next to a beach. And a lot of the people here in what used to be a customs warehouse are in fact taken from that beach potentially intercemented by libyan authorities here and kept here for a number of weeks or months. The center itself has been here for a matter of years. You cant really call them the lucky ones because i think if you look at the numbers so far this year about 8 to 10 of those who have tried to make the crossing have in fact lost their lives. But the vast majority it seems have landed safe on europes shores. These people behind me their faith deeply uncertain. They dont want to go back where they initially fled. They also consider the risk of crossing into europe to be enough to try and take but this is the scale of the challenge here. This massive coastal country simply cannot patrol its own waters. And there are hundreds of thousands of people hoping to make that dangerous journey. Chris. Those conditions for weeks to months you say. Terrible. Nick thank you for the reporting. So the senate is finally set to vote on Loretta Lynchs nomination for attorney general after getting a contentious bill to combat Human Trafficking out of the way. Lynchs confirmation was stalled for months adding to the frustration lynch is praised by many on both sides of the aisle and would become the first black woman to lead the Justice Department. It is sentencing day today for former cia director david petraeus. The former fourstar general is accused of sharing government secrets with his by videographerturned girlfriend Paula Broadwell as part of a plea agreement. Petraeus is expected to plead guilty to one federal charge of mishandling classified information. Prosecutors will recommend he pay two years probation and pay a 40,000 fine. The concussion settlement getting final approval from a federal judge. It allows for payments for as much as 5 million for players with the most severe neurological conditions. Under the settlement the nfl makes no admission of guilt and it removes any limit to what the league could have to pay out to retired players. Chris. All right, alisyn. Four investigations 11 days and still too many questions in baltimore. So right now what do we know and why dont we know more . Two guests want to have those same questions asked. Tessa hillaston and keith hayes. Thank you to both of you. I want to play you the most recent sound from the attorney representing the police union. And then well discuss what it means. He simply didnt want to walk. And that is not unusual with individuals who dont want to be arrested. They dont cooperate and they dont want to walk. I think youre using the words yelling as if in pain as a speculation. It could have also been yelling to bring the crowd to make attention to his arrest. All right. Thats going to be the police line as for now. Ms. S a aston, what do you make of that suggestion of him not wanting to be arrested but him playing to the crowd . Well i think most people dont want to be arrested in that situation. As far as we can tell we dont know actually what he did other than they say the police made eye contact with him and he ran. We havent heard anything that he had drugs on him or that he was purchasing drugs. So i dont think it takes six officers to take someone that small and then he has bodily injuries. So yes, everybody would make a scene because they want attention brought to the fact that they might get hurt. And they want someone to see that thats happening. What do you make of the suggestion that the police didnt need probable cause here. They only needed reasonable suspicion because freddie gray is known to be in the drug game. Hes got some 20 cases, many still active and that was the right basis for a stop . Well i dont see it that way. I think when officers in a certain neighborhood and if theyre in the neighborhood all the time theres always opportunities to get that person at another time. To run and chase someone and put themselves at risk and Something Like this happens, it puts everybody in a bad situation. Now we have someone deceased and something that didnt have to happen. Because the Police Always has an opportunity to get that person especially when they know them. Mr. Haines we keep hearing that under maryland law you have ten days to be interrogated but then we learned on april 12 you had five of the six officers give out statements. Why havent we heard whats in those statements . Well what youre referring to is the status of the Law Enforcement officers bill of rights where they do have ten days to secure council, legal council, before making a statement. Right. Any statements that are made by those individuals cannot be used because even though they do have Law Enforcement bill of rights they still have the constitution for protections of the fifth amendment. So those statements can be made but they cannot be used. So they can make a statement on the record but nobody can use it for anything. Thats part of the frustration. Lets put up the timeline here. It cannot be used for prosecutorial purposes. Understood. But im not talking about a prosecution. Im talking about the public and about giving some confidence in some aspect of this dynamic by police. Police keep saying dont jump to conclusions, dont become a lynch mob, but what people want is information about it. And theyve had it for 11 days. This timeline i want to get back to though ms. Aston, because really it comes down to what happened in the van. Theres going to be a suspicion that what happened in the van was an extension of what happened before the van. But what do you believe needs to be asked, ms. Aston . Well what needs to be asked is what happened before the van or in the van. Because some people saying some witnesses in the community are saying they saw one officer put their knee in his back. And then some people are saying that they saw him being drug in a rough way in a manner into the van. And he was limp at that time. So the injury could have come before and then some more injury could have come after he got in the van. And based on the description of the inside of the van he could have been rocked around. And talking to other people whove been in the van, you know you can get rocked around pretty good if youre not tied or concealed in a certain kind of way in the van in the metal containers they have them in. 42 minutes between when he was picked up and when they finally called for help mr. Haines the suggestion is thats too long. Whats your take on it . Well i think that we look at the instance that he actually asked or requested medical attention. He indicated that he was asthmatic, that he was injured, required medical assistance. At that point or that juncture it should have been given to him. A call should have went out to 911 or through the radio system. Is it up to the discretion of the officer . Or is it automatic, mr. Haines . Our understanding is its somewhat discretionary by the officer. Its not an automatic that if somebody asks like they do invoking council, if they invoke they need medical help its not as automatic, is that true . Right. I think it is somewhat discretionary. It is not a legal right. But it is discretionary. But the fact of the matter is is that its a simple call. Its a call for medical assistance. And when you have a situation where if you look at one of the videotapes that has been circulating from this incident clearly when he was placed in custody and placed in the van that he had something going on with him physically this would not allow him to walk. Right. That should have given rise to some consideration that a simple call if he requested additional medical attention should have been made. That union lawyer though mr. Haynes the union lawyer suggests maybe he was faking it. Thats what caused the outrage yesterday. What this takes us to is the same point i want to end on here delegate. Sure. You have four investigations going on and yet this situation seems plagued by a lack of information early and often coming from the investigators. And it raises the question of whether or not the police should be involved in investigating themselves. What do you think about that . Well i can tell you that i think you sort of hit it right on the head here with four investigations. There are four investigations going on. The Justice Department has stepped in as well. So i think we have to let this run its course as far as whether investigations and the outcome of those investigations and what facts and what conclusions it yield at this point. This has been a concern in our past legislative session where we had bills that were introduced for independent body to come in and investigate under certain circumstances as were experiencing here in this particular case. But we do have four concurrent investigations. So its not solely the Police Departments investigation at this point. Understood. Tessa hillaston and delegate haynes thank you very much. Alisyn.
