5:00 pm
and thank you so much for joining us. set your dvr to record "outfront" to watch us any time. our breaking news of the protests in baltimore continues right now with ac360. here is anderson. >> thank you for joining us. 11 days after the death of freddie gray from injuries he suffered in police custody and on the day his body is returned to his family tension is high tonight on the streets of baltimore. protesters who marched on city hall have made their way back to the police where he was taken from by balance, with spinal injuries. there were protests including one that our brian todd witnessed earlier. >> some objects are being thrown at police and here they just got another man -- easy guys.
5:01 pm
we're being pushed. when they try to arrest someone they are being swarmed by protesters. okay thank you. and some objects are being thrown. i'm not sure why that man was arrested. i didn't see what he allegedly did. but when they try to arrest anyone regarding the protests you can see what happens here. >> brian todd joins us now. so the scuffle we saw, do we know what happened there? [ chanting ] >> reporter: anderson at that moment we were witnessing two people being arrested. and that really got the crowd riled up very angry and they confronted the police and it was almost a pretty violent con frontation. there were objects thrown and there were officers arresting those two people and got them away. that is about as violent as it has gotten. this is an interesting scene. they are doing an impromptu
5:02 pm
street dramatic play and showing what they believe the police are doing, people down on the ground with their hands behind their backs and it is street drama here to vent their anger at the police show us and others what they believe the police are doing and the brutality the police are committing on them. it has been going on all night. angry protests but i have to say, anderson by enlarge, the protesters have policed themselves. when it has gotten confrontational, we have protest leaders telling the fellow protesters to stop throwing objects. so they are angry and passionate but by enlarge, pretty peaceful. >> brian, for context, do you have any idea how large the protest is where you are? >> reporter: i would say probably 300 people. and it has kind of ebb and
5:03 pm
flowed but about 300 people. >> and i want to go to miguel marquez. first of all, where are you and what are you seeing where you are? >> reporter: well we are not very far from where brian is over here. the crowd has thinned out quite a bit. there is about 150 people or so here. the police -- this is the western district. they've changed the security arrangements for tonight and there are literally more police out here than protesters. they go down to the other end of the western district and they left the police open when they did not do last night. police despite people hanging over the rails and taunting the police all day, they have shown great restraint. in some cases you had some of the commanders come out and take people off the line who are having trouble either standing there for that long because they've been out here for many hours or because the taunting at some points gets to them. for the most part the protesters have been very angry,
5:04 pm
taunting the police officers. and there has been great restraint shown by the police officers. clearly the commissioner wants to let them protest and let them get out. and the commissioner today meeting with some members of -- distant members of freddie gray's family trying to diffuse the situation. the protest today not panning out as big as protesters said it would be but everybody focusing on saturday and there is concern among the protesters working here to organize this saying that saturday could get out of hand and a lot of groups coming in from out of town. >> what is the plan for the saturday protest? do you know? >> reporter: it is diffuse. there are going to be protests here in front of the police station, down the block where freddie gray was arrested and downtown at city hall. city hall is where it is really going to -- the focal point will be but they are starting in different places and it sounds like there will be a lot of
5:05 pm
people marching to here or from here to city hall as well. it is going to be a very very big event it sounds like. anderson. >> and how are the protests organized. you talk about it being diffuse and multiple locations on different nights. is this spread through word of mouth or social media? do we know? >> reporter: a lot of it is word of mouth. there are a lot of community groups here in the gilmore homes area and the naacp is involved in that is getting people out. the nation of islam though is coming up from washington, d.c. they are busing people in as well. we've heard there protesters in new york and in ferguson and different parts around the country who are starting to come in. and we're speeing a lot of different -- seeing a lot of different groups not just african-american but those concerned with justice across the board we're seeing to come in here. so we think it will be many many individuals coming in to baltimore on saturday. anderson. >> miguel thank you very much.
5:06 pm
we'll continue to keep an eye on the demonstrations throughout the hour that we're on the air tonight. joining us now is the gray family attorney billy murphy. mr. murphy good to have you on again. now that the family has mr. gray's body you plan to do an independent autopsy. what questions do you hope that autopsy will answer? >> well we want to see what happened. we want to get a second look from somebody we trust. and we'll see what the body's condition was. we'll see whether there was evidence of other trauma and a lot of things. we'll look at the spine and the broken neck things of that nature. >> and we talked to the attorney for the police officers yesterday and he says he believes whatever happened happened once mr. gray was placed inside that van. he doesn't know what happened and he doesn't know how the injuries were sustained. do you believe what happened to
5:07 pm
mr. gray occurred inside that van or do you believe it occurred before? >> i don't really speculate until i get all of the facts. and we don't have that yet and we're not close to having that yet. >> we learned yesterday that five of the six officers have given statements for the investigation. have you or the family gotten any more details from police as to what actually happened that day? >> no we haven't. and we're anxious to get that. but on the other hand i respect that if they are still -- there are still witnesses to be identified they don't want to run the risk that we or anyone else will disseminate those statements so that those witnesses would be forewarned and make false consistent statements or something else like that. so we respect the investigative process and we're patient. >> i understand the mayor has requested a meeting with the gray family and they are turned her down. do you know why that is? >> the gray family is really so
5:08 pm
upset right now about the loss of their son. and they don't want to be disturbed for the foreseeable future and i'm sure anderson that you can understand that. they also don't want to be a part of a media side-show and they don't want to be used for showings of goodwill. their interested in what the mayor is going to do. and perhaps if they take the position that the mayor, after this is well down the line has done all that she can done they'll meet with her. but they are not in a position right now, nor should they be nor should anyone expect them to be to be seeing people. they want to be left alone. >> i know obviously there is an autopsy done and you've said wisely you don't want to go down the road of speculation, does it make any sense to you, when you
5:09 pm
hear -- the police attorney saying the injuries were sustained inside -- inside that van, i mean does that -- does that pass a smell test for you? >> well my sense of smell is pretty numb right now because i've had so many things of smell that didn't smell good. so you have to forgive me if i'm not on the money with the smell test. but many things are possible but again that would be in the realm of speculation and i don't want to do that. this is too important and i want to go where the facts tell us we should go. >> fair enough. billy murphy. it is good to have you on. thank you. and again we'll monitor developments in baltimore throughout the hour and on cnn. and set your dvr to watch 360 any time you want. and coming up the drone in pakistan that took the lives of two american hostages including weinstein. and coming up a dancer who survived the boston marathon bombing and just confronted her

act of war took their lives. two were killed in a drone strike back in january. the same strike kills a top american al qaeda figure and a separate killed a born al qaeda mouth piece. the fact that the people ordering the strikes did not know who they were hitting and that the hostages were in harm's way has prompted questions about the drone war. more tonight from jim sciutto. >> it was in this mountainous border region between pakistan and afghanistan that a drone strike kill twod western hostages held by al qaeda, including warren weinstein, app ducted in pakistan in 2011. the al qaeda compound was under investigation for hundreds of hours but the u.s. did not know that weinstein and the italian were being held and hidden inside. >> in this proof of life video,
5:15 pm
weinstein, an aid worker pleaded for his freedom. >> it seems i have been totally abandoned. >> today president obama apologized for a fatal mistake. >> we believed this was an al qaeda compound and no civilians were present and that capturing these terrorists was not possible. >> weinstein's wife in a statement blamed his captors for his death and demanded answers from washington saying we do understand that the u.s. government will be conducted an independent investigation of the circumstances. we look forward to the results of that investigation. killed in the same attack was al qaeda leader auck men farouk. he was the deputy head of al qaeda, who attempted to hijack pakistani naval vessels last september. >> in the framework of america's war on so-called terror -- >> killed in another air strike in january, american al qaeda operative and propagandist adam
5:16 pm
guardian guardian from california. >> counter-terrorism in the region has been our focus for years because it is the home of al qaeda leadership. >> little solace for families looking for a different outcome. >> and jim scuitto joins me now. if they didn't know he was in the compound what makes they know he was killed. >> circumstantial evidence. they don't have body or evidence. it took them four months to establish this. the strikes took place in mid-january. i'm told there was a crucial final piece of evidence this month that led them to make this judgment. and it is an intelligence assessment and not 100% conclusive but enough that the president is willing to go out and say so in public. and with all of this what you discover it's difficult to find one person trying to hide.
5:17 pm
we saw that with bin laden. he hid for 10 years and it is hard to find them both at the time and place. and we saw that in the efforts to rescue james foley. they found the right location but arrived too late. it is difficult without hard assets on the ground to establish these things conclusively. >> jim, we appreciate the report. none of this is easy nor is it simple. joining us is franktownsend who serves on the dhs and cia boards and jeffrey toobin and former hostage david road who had been in touch with members of the weinstein family and cnn security analyst peter burgen. and it is a complicated situation, but how do they get something like this wrong? >> the administration said they had hundreds of hours of persistent surveillance and they had a target there in farouk a
5:18 pm
bad guy, an american and there is process for a target to kill a drone strike of an american and they would have had the persistent surveillance to make sure they knew where in the compound not to hit women and children. but there is no way, if they hide the hostages as they did, short of having an asset inside of al qaeda, inside of that compound there is no way to avoid this. and so while it is a tragedy, it may not have been a mistake in terms of the guidelines as they were followed. >> and david when you were being held hostage by the taliban, held seven months before being able to escape how worried were you of being killed in a drone air strike? >> the drones were around all of the time and there was a drone next to a house i was held in. the concussion from the explosion was so powerful it blew out of the plastic of the room i was standing in and
5:19 pm
shrapnel and dirt landed there. and the drone strikes were effective. and they talked about a famous foreign militant who taught them how to make bombs and he was killed in a drone strike. so it is a difficult process, but from what i saw, and just my personal experience they were largely effective. >> and david, that is what is interesting, people haven't been there in the region you can hear the drones buzzing -- flying overhead? >> yeah. they are like small propeller aircraft a piper or like a cessna circling overhead. and they knew that. they would order me inside of the house when there was a drone overhead and they assumed that the american government was hunting me and the american government wanted to kill me because they had this crazy ideas about what they could get for one american captive. they are constantly overhead. >> peter, what do we know and they mentioned farouk and adam
5:20 pm
gadan and i think we have talked about him on this broadcast repeatedly over the years, how important were they. >> gaddan was the first american charged with treason and it carried the death penalty and it is a charge very rarely invoked. there is no evidence that he was -- he was planning operations against the united states but he was a leading spokesperson for al qaeda and u.s. prosecutors must have felt there was a good case to advance the treason case against him. and farouk we hear he is an american but what we know about him is not a very great deal. he's -- he's head of this new al qaeda affiliate, the south asian affiliate and they have had a number of leaders killed in the last several months and has positioned itself in a way of competing with isis which is
5:21 pm
getting the new affiliates so al qaeda went out and, as a sign of their weakness rather than strength get some local pakistanis for their affiliate but the second american killed was an al qaeda leader. >> and in terms of the legality of killing american citizens without due process and i'm talking about guardianad an and farouk and the strike against american targets, what is that process? what is the legality there? >> according to the administration they did not know specifically they were trying to kill these two americans. they were not disappointed they were killed but this was not a targeted killing in the way the killing of the cleric al-awaki was. these were just other kbad ants
5:22 pm
and -- come batd ants and the position of president obama is if you join in with al qaeda which is an enemy of the united states and there is a bill passed by congress, and if you join the enemy, you take your chances and if we attack al qaeda, and you get killed too bad and you can't conduct say war other wise because you can't draw those distinctions even with the act of a drone. >> and fred you talked about the heightened actions the white house would have to go through and what are they. >> the administration didn't know -- this particular one is what they call a signature strike. they have persistent surveillance and they can tell from pattern life and the convoys and they look for markers to understand how senior members of al qaeda is an operational leader and what kind of package of security does he have around him and so they establish that over periods of
5:23 pm
time. certainly we know as jeff mentioned, from the administration if they know they are going to target an american citizen, there is a legal review process that goes on inside of the administration to satisfy itself they have sufficient legal basis, evidence intelligence if you will to justify the authorization of a strike. >> and david, there is a proposal by congressman dungeon, there could have been an exchange for him and bowe bergdahl and others that could have happened. does that sound plausible to you? >> we just don't know. there is in fighting in government and state officials that negotiated the bergdahl deal thought they had to turn over five taliban members for one american. the idea they would give up several foreigners for one drug
5:24 pm
trafficker, it doesn't make sense. >> thank you. and more on the death of freddie gray in police custody. and we'll take you inside of a police van. and as you know the police are saying that mr. gray sustained his deadly injuries inside of that van. a lot of the protesters on the street say they don't see how that is possible. we'll take you inside of a police van and show what you it is like. i'll speak with a police captain about what could have happened inside of there, if anything. i am rich. on the grounds of my estate, i hob nob with the glitterati and play equestrian sports. out on the veranda, we enjoy finger sandwiches and other assorted dainties. i wear nothing less than the finest designer footwear. wherever i go, the paparazzi capture

5:28 pm
[♪] the voice of the wild within. [♪] as protests continue in baltimore over the death of freddie gray we'll take a closer look at what we know and try to learn more about what we don't know. we know that gray died after he was arrest fld baltimore. we know he had a spinal injury and we don't know whether something happened in the police van that caused the injury or if that happened before or a combination of both. is we want to look inside the type of vehicle, most of us haven't seen inside of before. a captain shows us now. captain, can he show us what the inside of the back of a police
5:29 pm
van looks like? >> sure. this right here is our prison transport vehicle. it is ten feet deep five feet wide. there is a metal partition down the center four feet in height. in the interior of the van there is eating for five prisoners on each side of the partition. each prisoner has their own individual seat belt and once inside they are seat belted in. >> and the partition that separates the driver is that sound proof? can the driver hear what is going on in the back? >> no. it is not sound-proof. the drivers can hear any loud activity or anything that would take place in the back. the interior is also lit. there is lighting along the upper wall of the interior. so in tight time circumstances it could still -- activity could
5:30 pm
be viewed inside of the transport vehicle. >> and can you show us the seat belts. how difficult is it to put a seat belt on somebody? is it a complicated process or as we know how to put a seat belt on somebody. >> it is not a complicated process on anybody. it is the standard lap belt seat belt. the prison would be seated into the seat belt and the belt would be adjusted to their waist. it would be locked in place and tightened down around the waist to hold them into position. >> and if the vehicle -- we don't know exactly obvious will what happened to mr. gray. the police lawyer believes something happened when he was in the van. they don't believe he received those injuries -- again this is the police attorney don't believe he received the injuries until he was in the van. if the only thing that i can think of besides somebody else being in the vehicle with him, if he didn't receive the injuries before is the vehicle driving so erratically that he's
5:31 pm
being slammed around from one side to another, is that even possible if somebody is face down on the floor and a vehicle is moving from side to side? is there much room for a person to kind of be flung around in there? >> it really depends on the size of the person. can you see through the walkway here there is not a lot of space and plus there is a metal partition separating both sides of the prison transport van. >> and the edge on the seat and i know this is a specific question but the edge on the seat is that relatively sharp. i couldn't see if it goes -- if it is a 90 degree angle or if it is something that somebody could slam against, if it would -- could possibly bruise them or harm them? >> no. the edges of the seat are not sharp at all. as a matter of fact they are covered, as can you see here. all edges in the vehicle are rounded edges. even the weldings. there are no sharp or protruding parts inside of the vehicle.
5:32 pm
>> it is fascinating to get a look. captain ford i appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. >> a lot to talk about. cnn legal analyst sunny hostin and retired nypd detective harry houck. we spoke to a former baltimore police officer today who said that given prisoners what he referred to as a rough ride in a police van was a long-standing technique in the city of baltimore and that basically intentionally not strapping prisoners in and then driving erratically, giving them the so-called rough ride to punish them. have you heard of that? >> i've heard of it. and that -- that could have happened here. we don't know. we don't know how the injuries occurred inside of that 20-minute period inside of the van. it is very likely. those things have seat belts for a reason. because even if the drivers in a
5:33 pm
car vehicle accident you have to protect the people in the back of that thing. >> professor kobilinsky that there are not sharp edges, does that mean anything. again we don't know if this technique of a rough ride is used but can they get badly injured. there was a case in 2005, a baltimore man suffered spinal injuries after being put in a police van and subjected to a rough ride? >> law enforcement has an absolutely obligation to protect prisoners in their custody. let's assume he had a seat belt on his head was still free to move in all kinds of directions. and if he did get a rough ride that would explain the severing of the spinal cord. i still think that the vertebrae were broken, not in the van, but prior to getting into the van. >> why? because the force required given the limited amount of space in it that vehicle? >> yeah.
5:34 pm
i suspect that the vertebrae -- somehow dislodged -- displaced and that is what severed the cord and i think the ruch ride would explain it. it makes sense to me that is what would happen. you've got to protect the prisoners in custody. you have to seat belt them protect them. i can understand not immobilizing the neck because think didn't know there was a neck injury. but then again they should have called for ems immediately when the prisoner said he couldn't breathe and he was having problems. it was just negligence not calling the paramedic immediately. >> sunny, you are a former prosecutor have you heard of the rough ride? >> i have heard of that. and i will tell you, that in my view, legally, that doesn't necessarily exonerate these officers. >> certainly not. >> on the narrative i'm hearing from the officers something must have happened in the vann
5:35 pm
and i think many people are then thinking well that makes them not responsible. >> the term rough ride doesn't mean the streets were bumpy. >> exactly. >> this was a deliberate act. >> and so even if the injuries did occur inside of the van, i have to agree with dr. k. that doesn't make sense. if they were -- the injuries were exacerbated, that does not exonerate these officers. >> out on the streets, it seems they were more prepared today for larger demonstrations but you were surprised they weren't in riot gear the spongs by the police -- the response by the police? >> yeah that upset me because they weren't out there without helmets. they probably assume some kind of demonstration or some kind of violence because i heard they brought in the state police so they knew something was going to happen and so we have police officers out there making arrests and a group of select thugs out there who are starting something on the street. >> you don't know that group,
5:36 pm
harry. you can't say there are a group of select thugs. we know the protests have been peaceful and that is an american right. >> who committed the violence today. there are a group of select thugs. >> we heard they were arrested for disorderly conduct. >> there were arrests today. jumping on the car, not enforcing the law and ferguson has set a precedent for this now, the fact it is okay to go out and break the law when you are demonstrating. >> these have been peaceful protests. that is the bottom line. and that is their american right. >> we should point out two arrests -- two arrests in a protests where huchbds of people involved is a pretty small -- pretty small number. >> and i have to disagree with harry in terms of what we saw in ferguson. we were both on the ground and i saw a militaryization of the police and i think that exacerbated things that happened
5:37 pm
in ferguson. >> police officers should be allowed to be heard. >> they could be heard but do they need riot gear. >> and we should point out the baltimore police in a tweet called the protesters peaceful. so by enlarge, we are seeing peaceful. and in ferguson we saw them they didn't have experience with riot crowds and that intense situation and police officers pointing rifles at people. >> and teargas. [ overlapping speakers ] >> i hope you are not suggesting you want to see that in baltimore. >> nobody is suggesting that. but once the autopsy is done by the family professor kobilinsky how significance can that be? how much can they find that a previous autopsy didn't find? >> as you know it is a medical, legal examination of the body. the anatomical information will
5:38 pm
tell us if the lair ink were crushed and which cervical vertebrae were broken and whether it was responsible for severing the cord. there is a lot we'll learn from the autopsy and we'll not learn when the injuries were taken place and if it was a two-step situation as we've been postulating and there is a lot to learn and i'm assuming that the autopsies will not differ from each other. but we have to wait and see what it says. >> professor kobilinsky harry housh, sunny hostin. thank you. and now among those who testified at the boston bombing marathon adrianne haslet-davis. hear how she stared down the

taken. we remember krystle campbell 23-year-old graduate lindsey today the testimony focused on the youngest victim martin richard. they heard how his mother rested his head on his chest as he bled to death on the sidewalk. more than 250 others were injured in the blast two years ago and more than a dozen losing limbs. several survivors testified for the prosecution, including adrianne haslet-davis. she bravely shared her painful moments in the first year of her recovery in our documentary the survivor diaries. i asked her what outcome she wanted in court. >> have you told authorities what you would like to see happen to him? >> i have. yes. that is a question that i've been trying to answer for myself and i haven't yet.
5:44 pm
but i -- i know what my gut feels. >> do you want to say what it feels? >> the death penalty. >> so you would like to see this person die? >> i do. yeah. >> what is the thinking on it? >> i don't feel like -- i don't feel like you can get away with something like that? >> was that a hard decision for you to make? >> i didn't make it without thinking about it long and hard. >> adrianne got her day in court yesterday and she joins me tonight. i know you had thought about this and prepared yourself for a long time for this. but does anybody prepare you from actually being in that courtroom and staring at this killer? >> you know i've been preparing for it for a long time like you said but nothing can prepare you. you can prepare yourself to not be prepared if that makes sense. you can -- i, for a long time we talked about i didn't say his name and still don't. and i didn't look at photos and
5:45 pm
i didn't pay attention to as much news coverage but that all changed once the trial started. but not a single thing on earth could prepare you for that. >> to see him, what goes through your mind? >> ooh. ah it is part of ptsd. i have never -- i've never been in a physical altercation of any kind and i've never been in a place where i've wanted to physically harm someone until now. and i think -- i know i wanted to physically harm someone. and it is such an overwhelming feeling of wanting to just sort of lash out. >> after you testified, you stopped and you stared at him. >> uh-huh. >> did he stare back? what was going through your mind? >> when i was on the bench, up on the stand, i was about as far away from him as i am from you
5:46 pm
now. >> that close? >> it is that close. i stopped -- i stopped not knowing that i was going to. i thought, gosh i want to get off this stand and then i looked up after i was off the stairs and he was right there. and i just stopped. i just stop in my tracks and i didn't realize i was doing it at the time and i looked at him and he could see me and i could see both of his eyes. >> and how long did you stare at him? >> it felt like half an hour. i don't really know. but there was a point in time when i thought we were the only two people in the room. nobody else was around. and i was just thinking about, gosh this thing stared everyone down around us and took lives and destroyed boston and destroyed so much of america even. and i thought, you know what is going through his mind right now, being this close?
5:47 pm
>> we talked once a while ago and we just played the video and i asked you what was justice for you. do you still believe the death penalty is the correct punishment? >> absolutely. i feel stronger about that than the day before that. and i do feel strongly for the death penalty and i believe there is a justice system for a reason and i support the perfection going after and -- the prosecution for that and i'm going to be upset if he doesn't get the death penalty. >> and i won't ask this question if i didn't think you were okay stalking about it but your husband adam who was physically injured as well at the bombing, he wasn't at the trial. what is going on with him? >> yeah he's not at the trial. he wanted to be so desperately. he was very brave in admitting himself into a mental hospital after -- you know years now, i
5:48 pm
