5:04 pm
i think he had some mental issues in his head. >> why did you think that? >> well, because he argues with people a lot, and i see him being argumentative with teachers and students and that's why i think he is a little mental in the head, so, yeah. >> did he have friends? did you see him with friends? >> i had seen him with friends, but i don't think he was being bullied at all. >> oh, really? you don't think he was being bullied? >> because if he was being bullied and i saw it, i would have stuck up for him. i was one of his friends. >> so when you saw it was him with the gun shooting you, what were you thinking?
5:05 pm
>> before i got shot, please don't shoot me, please don't shoot me and i looked at him and saw it and he raised it and he shot me in my stomach. >> and he didn't say anything? >> he didn't say anything like please don't shoot me, please don't shoot me and he raised and boom, shot me. >> here is someone you say was a friend, someone you say you would have stuck up for if you saw him getting bullied and yet, this is the same boy that shot you. what did you think of that? >> after she shot me i thought he wasn't my real friend. >> what do you want people to learn from what you've been through? >> i want people to learn from what i've been through is to -- if you ever shot a gun and you sce accidently killed somebody, you would have made a very big mistake from that, and i used to treat guns not poorly but a little poorly because i thought
5:06 pm
they were a toy, but when i got shot, i learned that they are not just a toy. they are a weapon. and it could damage somebody very bad. so i want everybody in the world to know that more in battles and anything dealing with weapons and guns and knives, they are all weapons and they can kill you very easily if you hit the right spot. i'm lucky to be alive and it didn't -- the bullet didn't go through me. if it did, i would have been dead but it just went around me so i'm lucky to be alive. >> anderson, we did this interview with his mother sitting right there by his side. she really wanted to talk and he wanted to talk to make it clear that this was not a case of them
5:07 pm
being targeted. he wasn't a bully in this kaz. he thought of the shooter as a friend. she also wanted to make it clear, as well, she owns a gun and doesn't think guns are the problem, the problem is that parents don't lock up their guns safely the way they need to be kept out of their children's hands. that was also something she was passionate about and as far as the parents of the shooter, she says that she feels sorry for them because she knows they are grieving and has no ill will towards them. >> stephanie, thanks very much. it was joined by the boston suburb of danvers. a school supposed to be a venue for knew touring lives, not taking them. the gram circumstances of her death grew grimmer. >> reporter: as danvers high

♪ brilliant. let's get out of here. warp speed. ♪ hey, welcome back, keeping them honest, here is accountability, is finger pointing considered a preexisting condition. the house committee grilled the contractors responsible for building healthcare.gov. listen to the executives blame each other and cms the host of problems that went unnoticed possibly because according to these contractors today, no full test of the entire system was done until two weeks before it went live. >> for a cgi perspective, our portion of the application worked as designed. the end to end testing was the responsibility of cnm. >> we don't happen to control the pieces of the website that i
5:15 pm
believe you're referring to. >> unfortunately, it created a bottleneck creating the vast majority of consumers from accessing the cfm. >> they were shared with cms. >> testing was not our ultimate responsibility. >> congressman, we believe we've been prudent and cautious through this project. >> those were executives from the two main contractors, cgi federal and qssi quality softwares incorporated blaming each other. now lawmakers did plenty of finger pointing and democrats questioning gop sen sarty. >> you know, there is a saying in a computer program, garbage in, garbage out. if you're give an bad product to build then ultimately you'll deliver a bad product. >> here we go again, another scenical effort by the republicans to delay, defund or ultimately repeal the affordable care act.
5:16 pm
i'd like to think that somehow this hearing is above board and legitimate but it's not. >> some of the finger pointing today, next the committee questions health and human services kathleen sebelius, no doubt they will ask her why they wait so long to test the website and there will be a question about cgi federal. drew griffin tonight is keeping them honest. >> reporter: in 2009 the government of ontario, canada was emerging from a scandal of its own, a failed network that cost taxpayers here a billion dollars and was a complete failure so the government decided to hire out, find a contractor that could at least electronically keep track of the provinces nearly 1.2 million diabetes patients, a diabetes e health registry. the contractor hired, cgi. for $46 million, cgi was given six years to get all diabetes patients records and treatment
5:17 pm
plans on one easily accessible computer network. what happened? the government waited, and waited and waited. missed deadline after missed deadline came and went until finally ontario said enough, you're fired. >> they were so late in delivering that it was not worth it anymore in the entire contract got cancelled. >> reporter: a member of ontario's prevention parliament and committee was stunned. the contractor cgi knew ontario's government would be looking over its shoulder. the government had even written in contract clauses specifically outlining that if the e health diabetes registry did not work, cgi would not get paid and cgi she says in her words bombed. >> the six-year contract, two years in got canceled. nothing got done and they did not get paid. there was nothing to show for it. >> reporter: cgi would not comment to cnn what happen in
5:18 pm
canada but with the less than stellar track record, just how did the company get the massive job to run the healthcare.gov website? today officials testified before congress trying to explain just that and in a written statement, cgi told lawmakers of the four bids submitted for healthcare.gov cgi was selected because it was the best value to the government. that value turned out to be $293 million. >> so chairman, from a cgi perspecti perspective, our portion of the application worked as designed. people have been able to enroll, not at the pace, not at the experience we would have liked, but the end to end testing with responsibility of cms. our portion of the system is what we testified in terms of what was ready to go live, but it was not our decision to go live. >> reporter: the system cgi
5:19 pm
built in canada never went live and never worked at all. she says it is her belief the ontario government was fooled. cgi won the bid to built e health system because the company looked good on paper. in reality she says, ontario won't be fooled again. >> well, let's just say they don't have a very good name around here. they -- they look good enough, as i said, to win the contract, and then they did not deliver for us. so i would say their chances of getting work in an toontario, i leave that up to you. it did not go well. >> does this company have a bad track record everywhere they go? >> it's a big company and have successes and failures. i'll give you an example of a failure. hawaii asked this company to revamp the income and business tax system. after ten years there was no functioning system. the state auditor who i talked to this afternoon says that was
5:20 pm
an entirely cgi's fault but she did say the contractor posed a lot of problems that, you know, prevented this thing from going forward. >> she said several states hired cgi to run health exchanges. did they have problems? >> connecticut, colorado, mass mass told us things are running great. cgi is doing well. vermont will give cg i-80 million to set up its exchange. the governor was really mad, quoted in the paper saying he was mad as president obama. the site was not running well. he said we -- you know, we pay for something, we expect it to work. we called back vermont today. suddenly they are pretty much silent on the issue. we just got a little statement saying the site is up and running. >> drew, thanks for reporting. for more on the story, go to cnn.com. maryland's attorney general feeling serious heat for not stopping underaged teenagers from drinking at a beach party. he had no idea alcohol was being

hey, welcome back. today a lawyer for michael skakel filed the paperwork that could soon free him from prison while he awaits his new trial. a judge set aside the conviction ruling his trial lawyer botched his defense. nephew of robert f. kenny and his wife ethyl was convicted of killing martha moxley. skakel was nearly 40 when he was arrested and media attention was intense throughout the trial and the idea there will be a new trial stunned many people including moxley's family. i spoke to her brother, john moxley, earlier. mr. moxley, i know you say you're stunned by this decision. you have no reason to suspect a
5:33 pm
retrial would be ordered based on ineffective counsel? >> that's correct. it was surprising. >> you were there for the trial and saw mickey sherman in court. you're not a legal expert. did you think he was ineffective in your view? >> no, i thought he did some things very well. let me tell you this, i would rather have jonathan benedict any day of the week because he's more my personality type and my sense is micki was more the skakel personality type but he did some things during the course of the trial that i remember there was one where i called up jonathan benedict and said you guys missed something here and this guy is going to do something, and, you know, he did. it was -- and what he did was he didn't ask any more questions. they -- the state thought that he was going to cross-examine and then they would be able to go back into it and then he saw a hole and he said i'm closing it. no questions, thank you.
5:34 pm
and it was a -- i thought at the time a critical witness, and i thought it was a brilliant move to do nothing versus doing something, and he was very good in that regard. >> and in your belief michael skakel is still guilty? >> yeah, there were things that come out over the years never part of the trial, just convinced us that he's guilty and so yes, the short answer is yes. >> there are likely appeals before any retrial. those take a lot of time. in the short term there is a question whether or not she should be released on bail. are you opposed to that? >> i am. it will probably take, as i understand, it will probably take a week or so for that to sort itself out. i wouldn't, you know, my mother and i wouldn't be in favor of bail but the reality is we have no control over it and i can't let myself get consumed and my mother will not get consumed by stuff we can't control.
5:35 pm
whatever happens, it happens. >> your mom became so familiar to people that follow this case. how does she feel? >> yesterday started at 6:30 when i walked into a hospital with her for back surgery and the good news is at noon she walked out feel egg better than when she walked in. if it comes to a trial, we'll be there supporting the state of connecticut. >> what do you want people to know about your sister martha? was her life like? kind of person was she? >> you know, i think the -- just she was very popular, very pretty, very smart. when we moved to connecticut, she -- the first year we were there she was in ninth grade and she was in junior high school, and she was voted by the school the most popular girl. so, you know, one year she made a great impression and, you know, there is no question in my mind that she would have, given the opportunity, she would have
5:36 pm
had a happy and productive life. >> john, i appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. thank you. >> my pleasure. the skakel family released a statement saying we hope this is the beginning of the end to michael's 40-year reoccurring nightmare. any objective on server who sat through the trial through this appeals habeas hearing could only come to conclusion our brother has always been innocent and this case should never have been brought to trial in the first praise. her body was found in 1975 in her backyard under a pine tree. it was believed she was killed the night before. her body was face down, blue jeans and under pants pulled down and her body dragged through the grass. what evidence actually led to his conviction so many years later? randi kaye investigates. >> reporter: one of the first pieces of evidence police find at the scene of martha moxley's murder is part of a stainless steel golf club soft, another
5:37 pm
bloodstained club is found and the head of the six iron covered in blood. investigators also find several patches of blood in the area. the medical examiner determined she received blows to the head and stab wounds from the golf shaft. >> they hit her so hard the golf club broke and they took the shaft and stabbed her with it six or seven times. >> reporter: if michael skakel murdered martha moxley, where is the forensic evidence? there isn't any. no fingerprints, no footprints, not even his blood is found at the scene, also there is no trace of defense wounds. this is skakel's defense attorney the day he was arraigned in march 2000. >> there is no scientific evidence or anything that links michael skakel to the crime. >> reporter: this affidavit reveals prosecutors relied on the word of witnesses, a challenge because of the more than 20-year gap between the
5:38 pm
murder and the trial. one witness tells police skakel brought up the murder telling her he had been drunk at the time and might have committed the murder during a blackout. another witness reports he broke down in tears crying i don't know if i did or didn't. i don't know. and finally, a third witness claims skakel admitted murdering moxley with the golf club when she quote did not submit to the advances. the same witness says quake l told him because he was related to ethal kennedy he could get away with murder. true tv reports other evidence collected at the scene includes a human hair belonging to a white male but doesn't match any suspects. the single hair belonging to an african american male found on a blanket is dismissed to belonging to one of the first officers at the crime scene. there is this, a composite sketch of someone scene in the neighborhood. skakel believes it would convince the jury he didn't do
5:39 pm
it if the jury seen it. his defense attorney never showed it during the trial. the unusualed sketch is why skark l argued his attorney is incompetent and he deserves a new trial. at a recent hearing to push for his client's freedom, skakel's new lawyer presented the composite sketch and a picture of kenneth who worked as a tutor. the lawyer told reporters he's innocent. robert f. kennedy jr. is skakel's cousin. >> you know, michael was a 11 miles away with five eye witnesses at the time that the murder was committed. he has an airtight alibi. >> reporter: with his conviction set aside, michael skakel now has a second chance to prove it. randi kaye, cnn, new york. cnn senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin joins me now. jeff, you covered this case a lot. were you surprised by this rule
5:40 pm
s ing? >> astonished. they had bad lawyers, ineffective assistance of counsel and that claim never succeeds. i sat through this trial. mickey sherman made debatable moves but this was not outside the realm on normal criminal defense. what this judge was saying, i think, was based on this evidence, i think skakel was simply innocent and that's why he was letting him go. i don't agree with that, but i think this was really more about the nature of the evidence than the defense. >> doctor, in randy's report there is no physical evidence against michael skakel. >> that happens to be true but science back in 1975 is different than it was in 2002 and a lot different than it is today. >> is there something now they can retest? >> that's a good point. i believe if dna exists on the murder weapon and even possibly on her clothing, remember her
5:41 pm
clothing was pulled down, the blue jeans and bikini panties, if there is dna on those items, there is a test no a days referred to as ystr testing, which would make the female component of the mixture -- in other words, the blood would make it invisible, transparent and what you would see is male dna. you can tell if one person touched the weapon or two -- >> couldn't they have -- i mean, wouldn't skakel have brought that up to be retested -- >> and also, the -- there is evidence in the case that martha moxley had been making out with thomas skakel earlier in the evening, and that could explain the pants being where they were, and in fact, the judge very much faulted mickey sherman for not pointing the finger atom must -- i don't want to accuse thomas skakel of being the murderer here but the judge thought he
5:42 pm
was much more of a suspect than mickey sherman indicated at the trial. >> so i so why -- why -- do you believe he's guilty? >> yeah. >> you do? >> i sat through the whole trial -- >> even though there is lack of physical evidence? >> absolutely. the prisons are full of people, in 1975 nobody had that evidence against them because it didn't exist. jonathan benedict the prosecutor gave the single best summation in a courtroom i heard anywhere pulling together all the forms of evidence in a way that was utterly persuasive. i don't think he could do it again. i think it is simply too late. i mean, dr. kay says there is no tests out there. you can't have a trial in 2014, which would be what it would be at the earliest about something that happened in 1975. it's simply too long ago. 200 2 was bad enough. >> one said mickey sherman's desire to be on tv led to him not doing a good job. >> so did the judge and all of
5:43 pm
us here in the news business, we know micky well and he was here a lot and perhaps he did spend too much time on tv rather than working on the case, but that didn't make this an unconstitutional trial. i really don't think his performance was at that level. >> so doctor, at a new trial, they will obviously review all the evidence that exists. >> listen, physical evidence is one part of a massive amount of information. we have a lot of information. the body, the autopsy report, we have the murder weapon, we have the -- we know that whoever did this had access to the clubs, which came from the skakel home, which narrows down the number of potential suspects. so we're down to about three people. >> uh-huh. >> and i do believe that science now may be able to resolve this. >> and jeff, you have no doubt he'll be released on bail? >> i think so. he's presumed innocent now and he's not a risk of flight. he's not a danger to the
5:44 pm
community. e want to say one thing, the person who was most responsible for this prosecution going forward is dominic of vanity fair, our great friend and he's not here anymore and i only wish we could hear dominic re's reacn to this because he brought the attention to this case that led to this prosecution -- >> i miss don. he was a wonderful guy. >> he was a great person and a great journalist, as well. >> he lost a daughter and that's really what got him into it. >> a larger than life figure. >> certainly was. >> very short. >> think about him a lot. thanks very much. a daughter breaks down as she testifies against her own father on trial for killing her mother. what her father allegedly did on the day of her mother's funeral that she says made her sick and a boston survivor living boston strong. ♪ [ male announcer ] harvey's "i'm so happy you're home" dance? that's real love. and so is giving him real tasty food. now there's new so good! dog food from iams.

a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine.
