4:00 pm
>> all right guys, thanks very, very much. that's it for me. you can always follow us on twitter. go ahead and tweet me or tweet the show. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. up front starts right now. >> investigators pursuing possible charges in ferguson against michael brown's stepfather. could he be charged with attempting to incite riots? synthetic designer drugs are deadly. a special report tonight. >> and a powerful wife arrested with her son. her husband now desperately trying to save that son. let's go out front. >> with good evening. out front tonight, ferguson police looking to bring new
4:01 pm
charges in the wake of the ferguson riots. michael brown's stepfather, lewis head. it's this outburst right after the grand jury decision not to indict darren wilson that is at the heart of this investigation. >> that is exactly what happened. that night angry protesters burned businesses and police cars. could he be charged with attempting to incite those riots. protests are continuing today. hundreds of students walked out of school this morning their hands in the air accompanied by their teachers. cnn has also learned that off duty officers have been providing round the clock protection to darren wilson
4:02 pm
since the shooting. the reason according to a police union leader is ferguson police are unwilling or unable to provide that protection. we begin that coverage tonight in ferguson. the focus now is on, we just played it. we kept saying burn this -- down. michael brown's stepfather. >> good evening. important to also point out that police are looking into every angle. any person that could have been responsible for the damage here in ferguson, but yes they are looking specifically at the comments that you heard, caught on tape and the question could a singular voice helped to shift the mood here and lead to the looting and riots. a police car set on fire. images of officers using smoke and tear gas to disperse the crowd. scenes of unrest and looting. these are the images sered into the minds of people who watched events play out in ferguson,
4:03 pm
missouri, just minutes after the announcement that a grand jury decided not to indict darren wilson. but was there a singular moment? they are now investigating whether in this moment caught on tape, michael brown's stepfather was trying to incite a riot. regrettable comments according to brown's mother in an interview with cnn, she tried to put it into context. >> his emotions was taking over him, just like mine's. he just spoke out of anger. it's one thing to speak and it's a different thing to act. he did not act. he just spoke out of anger. i'm a grieving mother. that's my husband. when you're that hurt and the system has did you this wrong, you may say some things as well.
4:04 pm
we've all spoke out of anger before. >> at this point, no charges have been filed, but police plan to interview head and have already interviewed people who know him. brown's family attorney condemned the outburst when it happened and again on cnn. >> and it's indefensible. it is not appropriate in anyway. we don't condone peek acting on emotion, calling for people to do irresponsible things at all. and so, we want his family, his mother and father message to come across louder than anybody who might be associated with him or around him. they can't control what others do but they can control what they pray for. >> george howl, cnn, ferguson, missouri. >> a former nypd officer, dan, you just heard michael brown's mother saying look, her husband doesn't act on that hateful comment, she said it was just a
4:05 pm
moment of emotion. he was speaking out of anger, that everyone does that. do you think he should be charged? >> sadly, yes, i do. and it gives me no joy to say that. i'm sure he was hurting. i completely understand. i'm sure the mother was in unspeakable pain. she lost her son. but you have to remember, erin, that doesn't give you permission to go out there and call for burning something down. keep in mind he wasn't talking about burning down his property, he was talking about burning down everybody else's property. when he asked for the mic, that proves intent. he didn't say it once or twice. >> he did say it multiple times. you're right about that. there was damage being done before he spoke. if you look at the timing, there were already crowds in the streets and people with there with the intent to do harm. he spoke two miles away from the worst of the damage. the people right around him who heard what they said, did they go do this?
4:06 pm
he was two miles away? is he a convenient scapegoat for what happened? >> i appreciate the context. you're correct. but that doesn't absolve him of his specific actions and his criminality. those other people are going to have to be tried separately on potentially separate charges whether it be looting, petty larceny, grand larceny. is he a scapegoat? no. no one forced him to say that. if he had said it once out of anger and then went on and screamed and yelled something different, everybody would get it. i counted about six or seven times and then he asks for a microphone. i think the context hurts his case, doesn't help it. there had already been incidents of burning things down. >> don lemon is joining me on set. here is dan making the case, he said it again and again and again. he's not a scapegoat. yes he was going through pain
4:07 pm
but sadly yes he should be charged. there are others saying the kkk was out there distributing leaflets. >> there are enough charges to go around. i want to make this clear. no one is making excuses for what lewis head said. it was reprehensible. where i come from, this, i don't know how i would react if my loved one died regardless of the circumstance. if my loved one was in the wrong, i don't know how i would react. and also -- jeffrey says this all the time and i think it's poignant. these are ordinary people who were forced for whatever reasons into extraordinary circumstances. he should not have said what he said, but if he's going be charged there are enough charges to go around. by doing this, this is my opinion here, by doing that it would be pouring gasoline on a fire that's already been ignited in that community. >> dan, what about that point? let's just say there are charges enough to go around.
4:08 pm
let's say he should be among those charged. what about that point that don makes about it being gasoline on the fire? that that could make it worse. is it worth it? >> the question i would have for don, is do the property owners and taxpayers of ferguson who now have to buy new police cars, do they have rights? >> of course they have rights and i have spoken out very strongly. >> i haven't finished. >> i know you haven't. >> then how can you answer. >> i was in the middle of it. so no one knows better there are very few people who know any belt better than i do. >> i was a cop. >> you were not a cop in ferguson. you were not there. >> you weren't a cop ever anywhere. >> what does that have to do with anything? >> i have had people screaming in my face and spitting in my face for many years. >> what does that have to do with lewis head? >> you didn't let me finish, by the way. do they have a right? if they don't have a right to
4:09 pm
protection, what's to stop. >> of course they have a right. >> what's the point. you obviously have all the answers. >> don is making a specific point which is why would you make the charges just against him? why would you -- >> who said that? i did not say that. i think anybody -- you brought up the point initially of a white supremist group. if they distributed leaflets that started riots or violence, they should be locked up and thrown in jail. do the property owners have rights to be protected by the police and if this individual is not at least arrested. i'm not saying convicted. if he is not at least arrested there is no penalty for getting a microphone and telling everyone, hey, burn the neighborhood down. >> you sound exactly like the people who say that officer
4:10 pm
darren wilson should be arrested. >> officer darren wilson was put through a grand jury hearing and probably cause wasn't found. i don't know what else to say about that. >> perhaps lewis head should be put through a grand jury. what i'm saying to you. what he said is reprehensible. i have spoken out against all the violence and the people out there looting and rioting. but to pick out this one person because of some angry remarks that he should be charged, i think we need to think twice about that and step back off the ledge and cooler heads should prevail. >> we agree. no one is saying that. i'm not saying he should be picked out. let me be clear on this. any responsible for engaging in criminal acts that put a price on someone else whether it be a property burned down, whether they were assaulted, should be arrested and put in front of a trial of their peers. i'm not singling him out but he has to be responsible for his behavior. >> i agree with that.
4:11 pm
there is plenty of video and plenty of people who know who the looters and rioters are and those people should be arrested. >> as you point out they should be able to find out exactly who those people are. >> next autopsy results show that michael brown had marijuana in his system the day he was killed and quite a lot of it. could the drug have fuelled the entire situation? >> bill cosby's accusers still speaking out. how he may have worked an exclusive deal. i will give you an interview if you don't print the allegations of rape. >> and they are called bath salts but they are dangerous. our report on how these drugs are getting into the united states. did you say identity distribution? no. protection. identity theft protection. you have selected identity distribution. your identity will now be shared with everyone. thank you. no, no, no -- [ click, dial tone ] [ female announcer ] not all credit report sites are equal.

4:13 pm
4:15 pm
>> breaking news. we are learning that st. louis police are meeting to discuss the five players from the st. louis rams who walked on to the field with their arms up in a surrender motion. the rams apologized for the gesture. the police officers association called it defensive and inflam tory. the show of solidarity has become a rallying cry for protesters who believe that michael brown had his hands up. questions have been raised about whether it was the marijuana in brown's system that may have contributed to how the 18-year-old reacted that august
4:16 pm
afternoon. ken is out front. >> that's fantastic. >> at this los angeles medical marijuana clinic it's not just the potential healing properties that are being defended. >> my personal experience, i have never felt a negative bone come out of me when i was medicated. >> mike, this clinic's so called bud tender, is addressing what he says many experience while on the drug. marijuana's role in behavior was a significant question in the confrontation with ferguson police officer darren wilson. the medical examiner's toxicology report detected delta 9 thc. that is the ingredient that causes a psychological effect. at this pro pot clinic. >> there is very little that the body is reaking from with having
4:17 pm
12 nano grams of thc. >> it's not that simple. very difficult to interpret toxicology reports and infer behavior from them. >> as the grand jury learned, much of marijuana's effects on behavior is not able to be measured and the grand jury transcripts the word marijuana comes up more than 300 times as prosecutors considered whether brown's marijuana use influenced the confrontation. expert witnesses testified there is no way to know how marijuana would have affected brown just based on the toxicology report. his weight, history of usage all come into play. dr. ber net whose organization supports decriminalizing marijuana says there is a reason why. >> scientists are unable to conduct robust studies and research around this as we are seeing marijuana policy reform occur across the united states. there will be more opportunities
4:18 pm
for scientists to conduct research and ultimately we will be able to coalesce on a value that will determine impairment and intoxication. >> it's amazing. there are so many questions about this this country has moved in the direction of saying it's okay to have pot in your system. drivers with thc levels of 5 nan grams can be charged with a dui. does that mean he was two times impaired? >> not exactly. and not necessarily because as you just heard from the doctor is that it is variable and very much difficult to measure by a dui system. the measurement of how drunk you are is very different than how you are if you're impaired on marijuana. so there has go to be a standard. this autopsy just touches on that and you touch on a very important issue. law enforcement is struggling to keep up, doctors are struggling to keep up because the changes are happening on the state level
4:19 pm
and all of these standards are struggling to keep up. >> that's amazing. out front is darren wilson's attorney. it's good to talk to you. you just heard the stats. the word marijuana was mentioned more than 300 times to the grand jury. the germ waxing used at least 44 times by our count. why would this happen? why would prosecutors continually talk about brown's marijuana use? >> well, i have read the transcripts and i think the prosecutors were talking about them because the grand jurors were asking questions. the grand juror in this capacity acted as an investigative body as well. when this information is brought to them by the toxicology report and then later on by, i can't remember which number the contractor is who talked about waxing, when these kinds of questions are brought before the
4:20 pm
grand jury, asking questions about what this means is a perfectly appropriate thing for them to do. so again, i agree with the information you have put forward. we really can't tell. i don't know that it made a difference one way or another in the events as they unfurled that day. this information has to be answered and i think that's what they were doing. >> one of the things that surprised me reading the testimony, you talk about this contractor, he was at work and saw michael brown and his friend walking by he believes on their way to the convenience store. they were a brief discussion about pot and then he said something like you should try waxing. given that they blew him off and kept on walking, i was surprised to see that there continued to be questions from the prosecutor about what waxing was because it didn't seem it was really relevant. >> play that to the grand jury. while it becomes more prevalent. i have no idea what the grand
4:21 pm
jurors' idea or knowledge of marijuana exits effects are. you have to play that into this, too. for most grand jurors, this is probably a novelty. they want to know those things and ask those questions and i think it was appropriate for them to do it. >> neil, do you think that marijuana played a role in what happened that day and what michael brown did in the struggle? >> i don't know, i would like to tell you yes, but i simply don't know. in listening to the story as i was waiting, hearing i have never felt a negative bone in my body. we do know that a few moments before the encounter that he's in the store and there is no way to argue that that behavior was not aggressive. we have to realize that whatever was going on it was before his encounter with darren wilson because that video tape doesn't lie. >> and i want to ask you about the rams. the st. louis county police department is at odds over
4:22 pm
whether the team actually abjazzed. the five players went out and put their arms in the air in a motion of surrender sunday. the players in their words chose to ignore the mountains of evidence and they say the team later apologized. the team says they did not apologize. why do you feel the players were wrong in doing what they did? >> i don't think they're wrong in what they did because it's america. they have a right to make a statement but they need to understand what that statement means. so again, the narrative that we have complained about and the reason we think they are wrong is because there is a false narrative. we know that the information we have about the hands up don't shoot came from dorian johnson. if there is one witness that has been discredited it's been dorian johnson. and the sad thing is that has become the symbol. >> and reports said you can't rule out what his arms were doing. it doesn't seem there is a
4:23 pm
definitive answer. >> when you listen to what michael said, who was hired by the brown family and came in and spoke on his first autopsy or his first discussion of this, he said all indications are from the front and the medical examiner said they are all from the front. only one person didn't say they are all from the front and he didn't do the autopsy. i think the forensic evidence and forensic evidence disputes that argument. they have a right to make that statement. i don't challenge the right to make a statement but there are consequences and they need to understand that. if they really wanted to make a statement, why haven't they been up in ferguson. i have been in ferguson. i haven't seen them. if they really want to make a statement about unity, why aren't they up there? >> thank you very much, neil. i do, to that point for our viewers, is that the players from the rams were advised to remain out of ferguson during protests. post protest we're not sure. as we mentioned the fact that michael brown had marijuana in
4:24 pm
his system is a major point of debate. sanjay cougupta is out front. can you put 12 nanograms into context? in one state, 5 gets you a dui so 12 sounds like a lot. >> it is challenging with marijuana as opposed to alcohol. someone who has taken a single puff of marijuana, their levels could be into the teens pretty quickly and get up into the hundreds if someone is actively smoking marijuana. the real question becomes is someone just starting to smoke? are they on the upswing or coming down from having taken in marijuana previously? what happens with marijuana often times it sort of stays in the fat cells in the body and can continue to register a pretty high level even though someone is no longer feeling impaired. that's why you keep hearing over and over again it's tough to
4:25 pm
correlate behavior or impairment with the specific level. that five number that you pull out of washington state has been a source of controversy for that very reason. >> there have been reports that certain levels can cause aggressive behavior and people in law enforcement may have a different view than the common view out there which is that it makes you calm and mellow. is it possible that marijuana made mike brown aggressive or impaired his judgment to the fact that he made poor decisions when dealing with officer wil n wilson? >> there is science behind some of this. obviously there is anecdotal evident. what are we really saying? if you look at alcohol, it's not necessary that alcohol makes somebody violent but it can disinhibit somebody. they may act out. there is also a decrease in the perception of threat like when you're a kid you think you will
4:26 pm
get punish ed what they say wit regard to marijuana or cannibus, you don't see those things happening. that's why you're not getting the violent behavior. where there is some concern between marijuana and potentially violent behavior is someone who is withdrawing, for example. they can become more irratable and anxious and perhaps have some more violent tendcies. what you said is right. >> thank you very much sanjay. now 17 women are accusing bill cosby of sexual assaulting them. we have new details tonight that cosby may have conspired with a newspaper to discredit some accusers. undercover cameras go into the world of synthetic designer drugs flooding into the united states from china and killing american kids.
4:27 pm
that report ahead. my name's louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health
4:28 pm
problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i love myself as a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. alright, so this tylenol arthritis lasts 8 hours but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve is proven to work better on pain than tylenol arthritis. so why am i still thinking about this? how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain.

4:31 pm
rape allegations. cnn has obtained legal documents showing what may have been an attempt to squash allegations of rape in 2005 by using media to discredit these women. for almost a decade the now 77-year-old comedian has escaped scrutiny. jean is out front. >> it was almost ten years ago that andrea stepped forward with allegations of sexual assault by bill cosby. back then the backlash was swift. sources connected with big cosby tell celebrity justice that before his accuser went to police, her mother asked the comedian to make things right with money. less than a month later, the national inquirer does an exclusive interview with bill cosby, among other things discrediting the alleged victim. i am not going to give into
4:32 pm
people who try to exploit me because of my celebrity status. six days later, she filed the one and only civil suit against bill cosby allegeded battery, assault, and defamation of her character through an elaborate media campaign. legal documents alleged cosby knew fully well that she was not asking for money. the documents say in january 2005, the defendant asked plaintiff and her mother what they wanted and they replied that all they wanted was an apology. the document show that he called and offered to pay for andrea's education. in spring of 2005, another alleged victim of cosby's read the negative press and wanted to lend her support. >> i wanted to reach out and i called the editor of national inquirer. >> beth claims she was drugged and assaulted by cosby in the mid 80s and provided a polygraph
4:33 pm
she took at the request of the national inquirer to help prove her story was true. >> i was more concerned for my safety and for people to believe me. >> but she says the inquirer wouldn't publish her story. he admitted he knew of her allegations and agreed to give the interview. so you knew when this article was printed you had to make the public believe that andrea was not telling the truth. yes. and despite other victims coming sfwrard, his career has been undisturbed until now. andrea leads a very private life now in canada. she has never spoken out, erin. many times when there is a settlement, that is part of the stipulation that you don't talk.
4:34 pm
>> thank you very much, jean. joining me now is a criminal defense attorney and stacy, prosecutor in florida who is a supervisor in the sex crimes and child abuse unit. one question that a lot of people have in the story whether they believe bill cosby is why did it take so long to hear from so many of these people? cnn has now heard from quite a few of them and i wanted to play for you what a couple of them said as to why they didn't speak out earlier. >> i was afraid for my life. i was looked directly in the eye by bill cosby and said i had better never ever see your face or hear your name again. and i listened. >> afraid no one's going to believe you. afraid society is going to victimize you all over again. you don't want to go around reliving this over and over again in the public's eye. >> i didn't do the right thing. i didn't report it. i didn't go to rape counseling. and you know what? i was afraid but i'm not afraid
4:35 pm
any more. >> that's what i heard from a couple of women i spoke to. they were humiliated and didn't want to tell their families. when you hear this, stacy, do you believe them? >> i believe what their 5:actio were. this is the same type of behavior that you see in everyday cases when the defendant or perpetrator is not a celebrity. women always say they feel humiliated, embarrassed, don't want to talk about it. the details are very private and delicate. imagine having to discuss private parts and what happened and intercourse and someone forcing themselves upon you to people that you don't even know let alone the world. so the idea that they're coming forward this late is not unusual. this behavior is seen all the time and i see it all the time in all the cases that we received in all of my offices. people come forward ten, 20, 30 years later. >> another fact if i could add to what stacy said and i agree with everything she said.
4:36 pm
these women were in the entertainment industry. some were models and some were actressed. are their careers going to be destroyed if they make an allegation against a famous powerful guy? so, i think it's a big factor. >> now the issue is also what can happen at this point. obviously there has now been damage to bill cosby's career and legacy. a few cancellations but he is continuing with his tour. but the issue of proof is another big question. rape kits in these incidents happened and even after that there is not proof. here is what janice had to say about that. >> look at how it's blowing up now on me. i'm being slandered and called -- that i lie. bull [ bleep ]. i am not lying. you weren't there. i can prove it with polaroids. put a lie detector test on me and put one on the attorneys and
4:37 pm
put a lie detector test on mr. bill monster cosby. >> paul, can -- is any of this relevant? >> well, you know, when you can fill a small bust with the number of women who have come forward and say this happened it starts to sound believable even though they are old claims. can you bring a criminal case? no. statute of limitations is gone. civil cases are problematic as well. somebody who has done this to this many women, why would it suddenly stop? he's a rich powerful guy. i'm just wondering, will other women step forward? if they do and it's within the statute of limitations, then yes you could have a possible criminal case. >> what do you think about no one coming forward since 2005. >> who knows what's going to be in the future. there's strength in numbers. lots of time women when they hear other women, all of these
4:38 pm
women came forward, they want to take their time. they might be in therapy right now. they might be waiting for the proper time to come forward. we will have to wait and see and there could be cases later on that will fall within the statute. there could be criminal cases down the line. we don't know why it stopped at this point. we will have to wait and see what comes forth. rape victims, i have gone to grand juries 30, 35 year later. >> thank you. next, synthetic designer drugs. a lot of them coming from china. they are killing a lot of americans and kids. we're going to show you what undercover cameras found. and a wife of the leader of isis said to be heavily involved in the terror organization. she is now under arrest. could she help the u.s. find the most wanted terrorists in the world? s out for a bike ride. i didn't think i'd have a heart attack. but i did. i'm mike, and i'm very much alive.
4:39 pm
now my doctor recommends a bayer aspirin regimen to help prevent another heart attack. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. with a favorite book is nice. but i think women would rather curl up with their favorite man. but here's the thing: about half of men over 40 have some degree of erectile dysfunction. well, viagra helps guys with ed get and keep an erection. and remember, you only take it when you need it. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex.
4:40 pm
do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. ask your doctor about viagra.

about them in tonight's special deadly high at 9:00 eastern. but for years little was known about these drugs but they were designed to imitate drugs like lsd and meth. drew griffin is out front. >> there is a new drug war underway. at los angeles international the new battle is trying to intercept synthetic designer drugs. customs inspectors open and test suspicious packages looking for what is not listed on custom forms. this package claims to contain plastic. it turns out to be bath salts, a chemically produced synthetic stimulant that mick micks meth. >> it is a scheduled controlled
4:44 pm
substance so this can be treated as a scheduled controlled substance. >> and it came from the kouncou that according to the dea, is manufacturing and shipping most of the synthetic drugs worldwide. >> from china. mainland china. >> it's no secret to law enforcement where it comes from and it's no secret to drug dealers seeking to be entrepreneurs. >> any laboratory in china, if you send them what's called a cast number, which is it is just a number that's designated to every chemical substance that exists, they will manufacture it for you specifically. it's called a custom synthesis and ship it to you. >> charles who sold the drugs that killed elijah sty and christian said he used the internet to buy much of his supply in bulk from china. >> there are a lot of brokers as
4:45 pm
well. he will order from a guy in poland and receive a package from china. >> is it all labeled as research chemical not for human consumption bhen you get snit. >> for the most part, yes. >> shanghai, china's largest city. with its towering water front and bustling streets it is home to chemical companies churning out synthetics or pure poison. in the emerging global market, the shanghai region is the epicenter. >> come here. >> this is the office of a synthetic drug dealer. under cover video taken by a french documentary film maker. the bragging drug entrepreneur claiming to supply the world with his manufactured highs. >> this stuff is popular in
4:46 pm
russian market. people take it and mouth or nose and it's okay. >> i mean it's pretty incredible. and that dealer you were talking to, he looked like the guy next door, literally. how is this happening so blatantly? >> this stuff is being churned out in laboratories this is not cartels or drug gangs. these are laboratories mostly in china, mostly in shanghai that have turned this into a business. this is a french reporter going to see her quote unquote source just like you would go buy plastic. >> it is pretty incredible. what is the u.s. government doing about it? >> they are in dialogue with the chinese government. china refuses to discuss anything with us as to what they are doing. the u.s. government is kind of just trying to nudge china along on this to get them with the rest of the world on stopping
4:47 pm
this. clearly if you have got factories churning this out you know where it is and you can stop it. >> thank you very much. and you can see drew's entire special report tonight, deadly high, how synthetic drugs are killing kids. it is at 9:00 eastern right here on cnn. and isis leader wife and a child captured. will this be the big break u.s. intelligence is looking for? and as escape plans go, this one was not the best. jeanie on the guy who stole a bmw and tried to escape the escape door.
