tv Anderson Cooper 360 CNN October 9, 2014 8:00pm-9:01pm PDT
8:00 pm
that's it for us tonight. i'm don lemon. thank you for joining us. ac 360 starts right now. >> breaking news on the ebola crisis. good evening. we begin tonight with breaking news on the ebola crisis. and in spain, 14 people are hospitalized. elizabeth cohen in dallas, where fears of a new case have been alleviated. but the family. airing duncan's family says he was treated unfairly. the situation much different in spain where potential cases continue to pile up. we begin with cnn international correspondent live for us in madrid.
8:01 pm
now 14 people in the hospital what do we know about the cases or potential cases? >> reporter: good evening, 14. seven new people admitted here tonight. variety, some are doctors, nurses, assistant nurses and beautician thousands. all people who have had can tact with theresa ramos, auxiliary nurse who has ebola in some sort of way they had can tact with her. we are told these people have no symptoms as of yet, anderson. and they've come here of their own free will because they prefer to be here, be assisted and monitored than being at home. perhaps fearing they may have something in contact with the families and children andersen. >> nurses assistant. the first case with ebola. what's the latest on her condition? >> what we heard today its that unfortunately her condition has deteriorated. the doctor, the third hospital came out early today said look,
8:02 pm
i can't give you much in terms of information, confidentiality reasons i can tell you she has deteriorated. i also spoke to a union, head of a union here, representsment nurses. and basically she told me, she is very, not doing very well. her brothers come out, theresa's brother came out and he basically said she is using breathing aid to really help her, paints a picture of, unfortunately how badly the case has turned for her. >> we are also learning serious oversights, leading up to her diagnosis. what's the latest on that? >> yeah, absolutely. this is something i have been following for the last two days. really trying to piece together what happened. what we fog yeigured out from c. the day she was admitted to the hospital behd me. if the took eight days, anderson. eight days. the moment she got to the first hospital. she shouldn't have gone to the first hospital in first place.
8:03 pm
it took more than eight hours. all of this. many doctors, she saw, basically sag to her, oh, you have got a mild fever. go back home. at every step. three different doctors, all of them turned her away anderson. >> not just spain. seems like people throughout united king dm adom and europe very concerned about >> absolutely. look. people are on edge here. you see the fears rising in the uk. british papers saying, following similar screening procedures that we are seeing ein the u.s. france all on edge. we have seen today in the last four hours or so, the uk saying we will have screening procedures at air ports at heathrow, gatwick and so forth. find out more information on where people have come from. particularly people coming from the key regions in west africa. so they will be asking people coming into the uk.
8:04 pm
basically where did you come from. how long were you there. where are you going? so far, anderson. they're not doing any sort of medical tests. really paints a picture. people are fearful for their lives. especially here as the nur hse s taken a turn for the worse. people think this is really real. this has become a possibility. really knocking on our door. so many people on edge here tonight in madrid. >> conof the concerns you can't test people. they won't test positive until they start showing symptoms if they're infected. appreciate the report from spain tonight. back in texas,
8:05 pm
>> and of course, one of the concerns is you can't even test people, they won't show positive until they are showing symptoms, even if they are infected. back in texas, the family of the first person diagnosed in texas, the family of thomas duncan, who died early yesterday morning. his nephew writes eric duncan was treated unfairly, he walked into the hospital. the other patients were carried in after an 18-hour flight. it is suspicious to us that one black patient died, the others lived. he began treatment here but was not given a chance. cnn's senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen joins me, i want to ask you about the other suspected case in dallas, the deputy sheriff. last night he thought maybe he had ebola. i understand test results came back today. there is good news for him, correct? >> right, anderson, the test results are negative and mr. monnig has left the hospital. he has been discharged. there is no surprise there. he had no contact with mr. duncan, he also didn't have a fever. >> so if somebody doesn't have a fever, why exactly did he think he had ebola in the first place, just because he was not feeling well? it sounds like they were being cautious.
8:06 pm
>> you know, when you were younger if people played the game of telephone. it sounds like that is what happened. at the beginning there was information put out that he was a contact of mr. duncan's, that he had been in contact with him but that turned out not to be true but since that went out in the beginning, the guys in the hazmat suits came out. the whole nine yards. it is time to slow it down. that was just a miscommunication in many ways. >> as for mr. duncan, the family is concerned. he did not get as aggressive treatment as the other ebola patients in the united states. when i talked to louise, the mother of one of his children, she had the same feelings on the phone or even off the phone. how was their treatment different? >> reporter: right, his treatment was different in a couple of ways. first of all, he didn't get an
8:07 pm
experimental medication for ebola until he had been in the hospital for nearly a week. when you look at the nbc cameraman who is currently hospitalized. the other ebola patients in the u.s. they got experimental treatments immediately. now, the hospital sent out a message saying that mr. duncan got his experimental treatment as condition warranted. when i talked to doctors, they said look you want to get people treatment as quickly as you possibly can, even a day or two can make a big difference, so it is not clear why his condition would warrant nearly a week wait. the other thing that is different, several patients got blood transfusions from an ebola survivor. the world health organization said that may help you build antibodies and help you recover from ebola. he didn't get one of those donations, the family said they were told it wouldn't be proven effective. the hospital said they couldn't find a blood donor. >> i also talked to nancy writebol, she said she is always willing to give blood but has a
8:08 pm
very rare blood type. dr. brantly has given blood two times. chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta, and professor of public health at the university of texas at dallas and a former cdc detective. what do you make about this, did he receive the same kind of treatment that some of the others had? zmapp, which is what the two americans were treated with, the government says there is no more of that. >> i should point out that dr. kent brantly, when he got the treatment it was about seven days into the treatment, as well. of course, dr. brantly was the first patient to receive that. we don't know if it works for sure. >> and nancy writebol said she didn't know if it was the zmapp that helped, but the good care.
8:09 pm
>> replacing the fluids, making sure the fluids are normalized. but having said that the protocol is developing where the patients are getting some of the treatment early. we hear it with several patients flown back into the united states. the fact he didn't get it. if it were my family member, we wouldn't wanted them to get it as well. the blood, only writebol and brantly were possibly donors, they were not a match. could they have gotten it flown back? what concerns me is he was sent back home, he was given an antibiotic, even though he was told he had a virus. what was the motivation? what was driving that? but that is not what you hope would happen there. >> and dr. yasmim, it is interesting, we focus on the dallas hospital oversights there. it seems like spain could have
8:10 pm
even bigger problems on their hands, we just heard from isa, a doctor caring for the patient in madrid. he said the sleeves were too short, his arms were exposed. that seems to nullify the whole point. >> absolutely, and it seems they miss that in the handling of the ebola cases. that is a time we see the epidemic rage in the countries in west africa. it is really not a time to be skipping steps. this is absolutely key in the situation. as the epidemic continues in west africa we'll more and more likely see cases imported into the u.s. and europe, as well. >> sanjay gupta, is this just the learning curve that is inevitable in a case like this? >> i would love to say that. this is not that complicated. in terms of the basic safety themes, doctors take care of
8:11 pm
infectious diseases all the time. the protocols are the same. it is a different infectious disease, bodily fluids can't get on your skin. there is no magic there, those are the basic steps, as multiple as we talk about the steps, the trials, if you can't get the basic steps right you have a real problem. doctors without borders, for a long time they have been taking care of these types of patients for nearly 40 years. they have a very, very low rate of infection. we know that it can be done and done well. >> dr. yasmin, on this program, the doctor said look, money devoted to disaster preparedness, repeat training and stuff has been slashed ever since the year after 9/11 when it skyrocketed after 9/11. and now it has been going down gradually. the public health budgets are slashed. is that what we're seeing? there is not repeat training on this? >> that is absolutely right, anderson, in fact that is the same case in spain.
8:12 pm
the protesters who demonstrated today about the significant cuts made in the government sector, in health care, the same has happened here. when i worked at cdc we were always working with less and less money every year and it was very, very challenging to realize that we were dealing with epidemics around the world as well as public health epidemics here like whooping cough and flu, we often feel like we're working behind the scenes here. but the public health concerns have to be there for situations like this. >> and the cdc director dr. tom frieden says the only thing like this has been aids, a striking comparison. >> a very sobering one, anderson, we're still dealing with that epidemic right now learning so much from the mistakes we made earlier in the hiv epidemic in 1981 and two. one thing we have to examine here, we keep hearing this epidemic started in march of this year. actually looking at the data it probably started in december of last year.
8:13 pm
authorities were alerted to it then, it was misdiagnosed as an outbreak of cholera, so even with us ramping up, it is still too little, too late. >> all right, there is troubling new information about an indiana traffic stop for a seat belt violation. you have seen the video here, smashing the window using a taser on a man who was a passenger in the vehicle. what we know about the officer's history, an arrest has been made in this case. we'll tell you about that. also breaking news in the suspect in the case of the missing uva student. and jesse matthew, the man was connected to the disappearance of the virginia tech student who was later found dead. pation. go to colacecapsules.com for savings.

8:16 pm
8:17 pm
crime and punishment tonight, we have new details about one of the indiana police officers accused of using excessive force in a traffic stop. the incident was videotaped by a 14-year-old boy in the back of the car. the video includes this moment towards the end. >> you say somebody is not going to hurt you, are you going to open the door? >> [ bleep ]. >> that was crazy. >> before the officer smashed the window and tasered that man they repeatedly ordered him to get out of the car. the police officers say they feared the man had a gun and used proper protocol. turns out the man who smashed
8:18 pm
the window was accused of using excessive force in the past. susan candiotti talked to a woman who said she understand how she felt, because her family had a similar incident. >> have you seen that video? >> oh, my goodness, it brings back memory. >> yolanda gray has memories, after this couple was stopped for not wearing the seat belts. >> oh! it shows the hammond police using the stun gun on passenger jamaal jones after he refuses to get out of his girlfriend's car during a 13-minute standoff. two children are in the back seat. yolanda gray recognizes the officer shattering the window. >> that is the guy, the same one that tackled me. the one that busted the glass open, oh, my gosh, the baby is crying.
8:19 pm
i heard my baby crying. she was standing in the street. >> reporter: in 2006, gray and her family were pulled out of their car moments after leaving their driveway. no one told them why. police ordered her husband to get out of the car. he complied. this is where it happened. >> this is exactly where it happened. they asked me to get out of the car, i get out of the car with my hands up and the one that tackled me came from this side of the street. and as i was almost where i needed to be, he tackled me. i never saw him coming. >> reporter: gray says she was bruised and man-handled after being put out on the street. according to court papers police say she refused to get out of the car and when she did started running before the police tackled her. >> my oldest son jumps out of the car screaming that is my mom, that is my mom. he was put in a chokehold and a gun put on his head. >> and your other son? >> my other son was taken out of the car and cuffed. >> and your daughter?
8:20 pm
>> my daughter, no one attended to the baby. >> turns out, she and her lawyers say it was a case of mistaken identity that police were allegedly looking for a man who she says looked nothing like her husband. yet gray's husband was charged with disorderly conduct and they were both charged with resisting an officer. she declined a plea offer before trial. >> they said they would give us one last chance if we would just write a letter of apology they would drop all of the charges. >> and you said? >> absolutely not. >> the couple was acquitted and sued the same officer, two others and the city on a civil rights claim. they settled out of court. so when she heard and saw the glass shattering incident a few weeks ago it hit home. >> what kind of memories does this bring back to you? >> the most horrific memories.
8:21 pm
my kids' innocence were taken that day. >> a lot of people were asking why didn't the man just get out of the car and get out of the car it might have ended the whole thing? >> i am enraged every time somebody makes that comment because they have no idea. and we did everything that they asked but the moment that we got out that was when the horrific harassment started. >> cnn has been unable to reach the police department for comment on the 2006 case. the officer who gray says tackled her coincidently, the same ones seen breaking the glass in the separate incident also could not be reached. in a statement issued this week, police said the window was broken because officers were concerned for their safety after the passenger reached for a backpack in the rear seat and refused lawful orders to get out of the car. >> susan joins us now live from hammond, indiana, i understand that jamal jones, the man
8:22 pm
tasered in the video, police issued a warrant for him in connection with a misdemeanor drug charge from years ago. what is the details on that? >> call. anderson, we just learned this a little while ago. turns out they issued this warrant on a charge dating back to 2007 involving a misdemeanor marijuana charge. allegedly speeding and driving on a suspended license. now, jamal jones' lawyers are calling this pure retaliation because of that broken window, smashed window incident. and we have not been able to talk to the police because they're not commenting on anything that has to do with this case because of the pending lawsuit. >> susan, appreciate the update. i want to bring in our legal analysts, sunny hostin, and the representative for george zimmerman. sunny, first of all, what do you make of this arrest warrant? is it unusual to pursue this year-old marijuana offense? >> it is retaliation, i think
8:23 pm
we've seen this playbook before, let's somehow try to hurt the reputation of the victim who i really believe was the victim of excessive force here. and if all, anderson, they could find was this misdemeanor marijuana charge, my goodness. i mean, you know they have been digging. and i think it just goes to show you what i have been saying all along that this is a police department that is clearly just run amok, these were officers using excessive force. the one officer that broke the window has three other incidents of excessive force. three other suits. all of them settled. my question is why is he still on the police force? why hasn't he been suspended even after the police department has the video of in my view, clear excessive force, when you do not control your officers, that encourages the bad
8:24 pm
behavior. the fact that susan, you know, is interviewing someone who was the subject of this excessive force. yet this guy is still on the force, he is remarkable -- >> first of all, what do you make of this warrant for this years's old misdemeanor charge. it seems highly suspicious that they somehow bring it up. >> if it was retaliation, it was disgusting behavior. if it was just incidental. then at the very least he was completely insensitive to the bigger picture we can't ignore. there are too many incidents between cops and blacks in the past several years, we have been focusing it on it in the past few months. for them to look at it and go now is the time to bring up a seven-year-old marijuana charge is at least highly insensitive and stupid and doesn't do anything to address the picture about what are we going to do with the negative interactions. >> sunny, the family's suit
8:25 pm
regarding the officers pointing their weapons at this woman's 14-year-old, 17-year-old sons, put the younger son in a chokehold. all of this allegedly happening while her 9-year-old daughter was there. when kids are involved in both this incident and also the most recent one does that go into law enforcement's thinking or should it? >> well, it should, i think when you look at the guidelines that all police departments have for their officers, of course they consider whether or not there are infants, children, young people in the car. so the fact it was ignored at that time in the case that susan is reporting and the fact it was ignored again this time was what was so striking to me. you have the 14-year-old in the back seat. you have a 7-year-old little girl screaming and crying. imagine the emotional wreckage
8:26 pm
that has now taken place. if you want to police the community and the members behave in this way there is a total breakdown of your ability to effectively protect and serve. and you know, at this point i'm thinking are we going to hear about a police monitor in hammond, indiana, because that is what we need to hear about. >> mark, the police are basically standing by their officers, they're saying that -- the officers, the passengers were asked to exit the vehicle and that the police can do to for their own safety. they have the right, without a requirement of reasonable suspicion to ask people to exit the vehicle. are they correct? >> well, yes, and i've said this before, cops have the right to do what they're doing for the most part. if a cop tells you to do something, you should probably do it. and i got some flak for saying
8:27 pm
that, that both sides need to act better in these cop on black situations. but the problem with it, in 13 minutes with the coming attempting to resolve the issue, they couldn't get it done. i'm not sure they didn't have an active fear of some weapon that was or wasn't there. but i said this before, you can't win a battle on the street with a cop. so try to do what you're told and then make the complaint later. the cop can't lose a battle on the street because they can't give up the authority. >> but very quickly anderson, i agree that you should comply, of course with the police when you have this encounter you want to make it as short and sweet and safe as possible. but i reviewed the law in indiana very differently. this is a man who was a passenger in the car who had his seat belt on, he didn't have to provide his driver's license,
8:28 pm
all he had to provide was the name, address and date of birth. they had no reasonable suspicion to pull him out of the car and even in my view to ask him for more information. what we're seeing is abuse of police power and excessive force. the black community at this point is thinking if i comply i'm damned, if i don't comply, i'm damned. and the focus i think has to be not so much on this passenger and the victims but the police department. >> sunny, appreciate you being on. up next, charlottesville police seize a cab used by jesse matthew, why the cab could be critical in another case, a murder investigation when we continue. also tonight, what police are saying about the drunken bloody fight involving the members of sarah palin's family.
8:29 pm

[ alex ] transamerica helped provide a lifetime of retirement income. so i can focus on what matters most. [ female announcer ] everyone has a moment when tomorrow becomes real. transamerica.
8:32 pm
welcome back, more breaking news right now in the suspect of the disappearance of missing uva student hannah graham. graham is still missing, of course, jesse is behind bars. there is another case allegedly involving matthew. police seized a cab that matthew was driving the night another student disappeared in 2009, virginia tech student morgan harrington. who was found dead months later. we are joined by a reporter now.
8:33 pm
so this cab that matthew was driving the night that harrington disappeared, what do we know about it? >> well, what we know is he was definitely employed at that time but what we didn't know was he working that night? what we learned from sources in this investigation is that federal and state investigators were pushing hard. they interviewed at least 20 people jesse worked with at that time. anderson, two of these people told authorities that he was in fact working october 17th, 2009. the night that morgan harrington had disappeared. >> and authorities questioned matthew back in 2009 over her abduction, right? >> right, he was one of many cab drivers that were questioned around that time, you know, they were trying to cross everything off their list. so a lot of cab drivers were questioned, nothing out of the
8:34 pm
ordinary came up with that questioning. but we did confirm today that he was one of many taxi cab drivers that were questioned in her disappearance. another interesting thing we found out, anderson, he had access to the cab he drove 24/7. and it was not as sophisticated as it is now. now they can track folks, they knew exactly what the routes were. back then all he had to do was turn off the radio system and could drive the cab without it being documented. >> that is interesting, i understand you spoke to some of matthews' co-workers. >> some of them did not want to go on the record and give their names that were questioned even as recently as today. they say that some of the information they gave to authorities and some of the questions they asked, did they have pictures of morgan, one cab driver said no, she never saw pictures. one thing that stuck out, investigators asked her if she noticed any of his behavior changing after morgan
8:35 pm
disappeared. she said they didn't notice that. but what they did notice was when a sketch came out from a 2005 rape in the d.c. area, also linked to morgan harrington at that time. they say when that sketch came out. they said his behavior changed. they used to tease him and say you look like this sketch. he at times would disappear for hours after they made those jokes. >> all right, randi kaye has a bulletin. >> the mother of this indiana man being held captive by isis is using twitter to reach out for her son's release. she writes i'm an old woman, and my husband and i are on our own with no help from the government. we would like to talk to you. how can we reach you? dutch officials say a passenger on board malaysia airlines flight 17 was found wearing an oxygen mask when the body was recovered. this raises questions on whether or not all the people died on
8:36 pm
board when the plane was hit by a missile fired by the pro-russian separatists back in july. and police say that sarah palin and several of her family members won't face charges after a drunken party last month. they give details on the punches thrown, a bloody mouth and a whole lot more. pretty juicy. >> all right, randi, thank you very much. just ahead, will ceo mary barra help clear the woman involved in a crash. up ahead, and the medical examiner releasing the details of a death of another african-american teenager killed by a police officer. goodnight. goodnight.
8:37 pm
for those kept awake by pain the night is anything but good. introducing new aleve pm. the first one with a safe sleep aid. plus the 12 hour strength of aleve for pain relief that can last until the am. now you can have a good night and a... good morning! new aleve pm for a better am. when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.
8:40 pm
8:41 pm
switch incident. each of the deaths have caused immeasurable heartbreak, for candace anderson there has been lots of guilt. here is the recap of the story. >> for the past ten years, i have been in a form of a prison. >> for a decade, candace anderson believed she was responsible for the death of her boyfriend, michael ericsson. he was her first love. >> i can still hear his laugh, big laughter. >> candace was behind the wheel when her brand-new 2004 saturn crashed into a tree on this east country road. >> i was through the windshield, on the hood of the car. his face was face down on my
8:42 pm
lap. >> she pled guilty to criminally negligent homicide, only this year, a decade later, she learned it may not be all her fault. >> you were being prosecuted for murder, what did the people in this town call you? >> i have been told a couple of times point blank to my face i was a murderer, that i killed him. >> the police report said neither was wearing a seat belt. the air bags did not deploy. after the crash, xanax was found in her system, she was not prescribed the drug but said she took one the night before. the police report said the intoxication was the reason. she was indicted for felony manslaughter, facing up to 20 years in prison. she accepted a plea deal and served five year's probation. but today, to tell -- the felony is still on her record. just this year, though, gm recalled millions of cars for a defective ignition switch. candace's car was one of those,
8:43 pm
the recall includes that car involved. gm ceo mary barra has apologized to victims and their families. >> i am deeply sorry. >> reporter: this year, gm admitted people within the company knew of the deadly defect for years. but they did not fix it. >> you may never have known. >> i don't believe i would have ever known. >> did gm ever reach out to you? did they ever tell you? >> i still have not heard from them. >> now, candace's fight is to get the conviction off her record and now she has some in washington on her side. >> ms. barra will you recognize to the governor of texas that he pardon ms. anderson? >> i think we will provide the information to support that decision but it is not something that is appropriate for me to do. i don't have the facts for all the case.
8:44 pm
>> you know, with all due respect, that answer is unworthy, because this is a young woman whose life has been changed as a result of a perversion of the justice process, as a result of gm knowing and concealing that she was innocent. >> do you think that some individuals at general motors should be criminally prosecuted? >> i was. because of my negligence. i think that if a 21-year-old girl is charged with negligent homicide and has to go through the motions that there should be somebody held criminally responsible. i do believe that. >> that is unbelievable it happened to her, first of all we had an incorrect graphic before that. mary barra clearly has apologized to all the people who died numerous times as you said in the piece. you sat down with her recently. >> i did yesterday. it was a wide-ranging interview.
8:45 pm
she said an error like this, a deadly defect will never go unfixed. people will always be notified. i asked her specifically about candace anderson's case because we have been following it so closely. and frankly candace anderson told me she wanted answers she was not able to get. so listen to part of that question with mary barra. >> i want to talk with you about the case of candace anderson. and you know, her crash ten years ago, she was driving. her boyfriend was killed in that accident. it is now known that that car had a defective ignition switch knowing more about that case, do you believe she should be pardoned? >> again, that is not for us to decide. they have the answers. i don't think it is appropriate for general motors as a company to step in. >> why, why is that? if the crash happened because of something that was wrong with her car that general motors knew about, why not write a letter on her behalf, or at least voice a opinion one way or another? >> again, there are the right experts that have the full complete details those are the people who should make that
8:46 pm
decision. >> you don't think gm should weigh in at all? >> i do not. >> she said her life is forever changed by this. she has a harder time getting a job with the felony on her record. the district attorney wrote a letter on her behalf after learning the circumstances of the crash. i guess i am wondering, why does gm say it doesn't have any role to weigh in? >> again, we'll provide a technical perspective, but we're not exposed to all the -- >> you don't have all the information of the crash. >> of the whole situation there are people who have that and they're in the best position to make that decision. and i respect the role of the judicial system to do that. >> she could very easily weigh in on it. >> they really think it is not gm's role. it does have to be determined by the court but as you heard the former d.a. who prosecuted anderson wrote a letter and said look, the car was defective, i think she should be cleared. >> candace, are they planning on accepting the settlement offer? >> they are, they're going to do
8:47 pm
it. they have filled out all the paperwork. they wouldn't talk about how much, it was a gut-wrenching decision for them because it bars them from ever being able to sue gm for this crash. money doesn't bring him back, the mother wrote and said the deaths and suffering have been forgotten, she has had such a hard time. for candace, it is not about the money, she says it helps her get back on track. >> this is weighing over her finding a job and things like that. >> she said still, get that pardon and felony off the record so she doesn't have to check that box on a job application is what she needs most. >> we'll continue to follow the case, poppy, thank you. >> up next, breaking news in a deadly police shooting that ignited more protests in st.
