4:00 pm
wallet. >> all of us remember the '92 campaign. >> she she certainly does. >> that's it for me thanks very much for watching. happy mother's day. erin burnett outfront starts right now. outfront tonight, breaking news fighting back. the police officers charged in the death of freddie gray calling for the prosecutor to be kicked off the case. is she too biassed if are the job. and days after a issuing a bomb sheel report on tom brady, the mfl still hasn't said a word. will brady get a free pass or a major suspension. a doctor te clard ebola free. find out the virus is back in his eye. we have the images the story. let's go outfront. good evening, i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. a demand to kick the baltimore prosecutor off the case. the baltimore police officers
4:01 pm
charged in the death of freddie gray are demanding marin mosby be removed immediately. there's a motion filed just tonight insisting that mosby is bias in favor of the gray family and the protesters who took to the streets of baltimore of gray's death. the motion points to the statement that mosby made the day she announced the charges when she said in part -- listen to her. >> to the people of baltimore and the demonstrators across america, i heard your call for no justice no peace. >> she continued to say i will seek justice on your behalf. this is your moment. calling the charges against the officers baseless. the attorneys also leveled a totally new accusation against the prosecutor. they say the lead attorney for the gray family billy murphy, served as mosby's personal
4:02 pm
attorney in the past. and they go on to highlight that the gray family attorney is mosby's mentor and a major financial supporter of her. sara sidner is outfront tonight. how serious are the charges against the prosecutor? >> reporter: well the defense certainly think theys they're serious. if you talk to some people they say those will get thrown out. we'll have to wait and see what the court does. i want to go down through a fuf of the things that are listed. this is a lengthy document. some the things mentioned we knew about, the husband that's a councilman mr. mosby is a councilman in the same district where they live and where gray was killed. a lot saying hey, this is a conflict because she could give personal or political gain to her husband because she did the charges, that the community there wanted. also that she knows some of the witnesses, has a relationship with the witnesses. that is one of the charges. that these defense attorneys are making. that she has this personal
4:03 pm
relationship with the gray family attorney. that being a big one that she would not be able to separate trying to please this attorney because of their personal relationship. her husband also of course having a personal relationship with the attorney. it talking r also talks very much about the speech she made to the public when she knead the anuancement to the public about the charges to the officers saying she went through the details of the charges and that those who heard it it was going to be very difficult to get a jury to be very fair in this case because they listened to the details. believe me these are just charges. of course they're not convicted of this. but hearing this from the state's attorney early on will prejudice any members of the jury potentially. we talked to her about a few of the conflicts, namely the ones with the personal attorney because that is something also that the police association did talk about that they had this relationship with mr. gray's family attorney. also we asked her about the
4:04 pm
relationship with her husband, the conflict that has been brought up there. here is what she had to say about all of that on monday when we asked her. >> there is no conflict of interest. i mean i'm going to prosecute -- i'm the baltimore city state's attorney. my jurisdiction covers every district in baltimore city. there's a number of crimes that take place in baltimore city unfortunately in the district we live. where is the conflict. i have to take myself away from every case or crime that takes place in west baltimore. that makes so sense. >> reporter: so there you know the two sides. the attorneys if for six officers charge saying she should be removed or her office should be removed from the case and she herself saying absolutely not. i'm going to do this and i'm going to go forward with the prosecution. >> all right. thank you very much. she's standing her ground. outfront now, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor paul call land along with van jones. paul you've actually read these
4:05 pm
hundred pages. you've gone through it. what's your verdict? >> i had said early in the weak i didn't think there was a conflict here. i thought it was a close question. having read the papers i've changed my mind. i think there clearly is a conflict. billy murphy who represents the family was her personal attorney not in like a real estate closing or something nonpersonal, but something involving an ethics complaint that was made against her. so you get very close to your attorney in that sort of thing. her husband, of course represents the district most heavily affected by the crime. she made a statement that only part of that statement was aired by the press. you played a little more of it tonight if which she literally called out to the demonstrators and said i bring you justice, and she went beyond that and said that this would result in structural changes in the system in baltimore. now that sounds like a political
4:06 pm
statement, not the statement of a fair and object ty prosecutor. so i think when you combine all of those things together the public would have to look at her and say she can't be fair and you should have a special prosecutor. >> all right, van, there were people on the other side saying this in ferguson. now the other side they're saying it here in baltimore. paul said he's changed his mind when he read this and thinks she should step aside. >> no with i mean i -- first of all, the court, the judge is going to throw this out immediately. first of all let's be very very clear. this is just absolutely ludicrous as far as i'm concerned, number one. you say that she can't represent the prosecutor's office in this case. her job is to prosecute wrongdoing wrongdoing. she pros kurts wrongdoers in that neighborhood every single day. the police have never said hey, you live in this neighborhood you can't prosecute. number two, the family attorney
4:07 pm
a representing the family in civil court, not in criminal court. as a prosecutor she's not a judge. she's not the jury. she's not supposed to be neutral. once she figures out there's wrongdoing her job is to do what she's doing, the go after the wrongdoers in her view. that's what prosecutors do. >> van, very surprised to hear you say that. because i know that you called for the removal of the ferguson prosecutor and the prosecutor in the staten island case the garner case saying that they were in a conflict of interest situation because they worked with the police and their core responsibility was working with the police. now she does the same thing. >> absolutely. >> you didn't call for her removal. what's the difference? >> two things. one, this is the exact opposite situation. in that situation they were not going to bring charges guard because of the close relationship. she's going against -- >> you called for their removal before they announced charges.
4:08 pm
they were presenting the case to the grand jury. >> because -- exactly. because the people in ferguson had already said and they were right, that that district attorney was wrong. by the what way, if you want to talk about selective outrage, i didn't hear you expressing outrage when the prosecutor in ferguson came out and said the most inflammatory unprofessional stuff when he said he wasn't going to bring the charges, he gave a half an hour speech that was completely inflammatory and ferguson burned to the ground within the hour. >> i made a lot of comments that were critical of him during the course of the case. >> fros courts are supposed to be tough on wrongdoers so she's doing her job. >> let me just play again exactly what she said on this issue of no justice no peace and then i'm going to continue to read something else she read. rhett me play it again so our viewer consist hear it. >> to the people of baltimore and the demonstrators across
4:09 pm
america, i heard your call for no justice, no peace. >> she continues then to say i will seek justice on your behalf this is your moment. obviously the attorney believe the itch occasion of what she's saying is justice is conviction the people on the street want a conviction. that's what justice is. you get a conviction you get justice and you get peace. if you look at it that way, it does sound bias. isn't her job to put charges on the facts? >> erin, are we now saying we're shocked that a prosecutor wants to get a conviction in a case she's bringing forward? prosecutors do this every day. they say i'm going to put somebody in jail every day. the only reason we're upset and shocked is you have a prosecutor saying this about police officers. three of these officers are african american. so you have a prosecutor saying i saw wrongdoing someone is dead in my city. i am going to go after them. that is justice.
4:10 pm
i'm passionate about it and that's wrong? every prosecutor in america needs to be fired if that's wrong. >> there's a code of professional responsibility that applies to prosecutors and it requires them not to make inflammatory statements that would tend to affect the trial process. now i find that anybodin'ty wouldn't view that as an inflammatory statement. >> where were you in ferguson. >> you have to go back to hear what i said in ferguson. what i said was the justice department made a big mistake contradicting the local prosecutor by doing a parallel investigation at the same time. they blew that case in ferguson. >> be honest. >> let's not blow this case because she's got a good case against some of these cops. she has no case against others. why blow the case? get a prosecutor in who's neutral and can put a good case together. >> i thank both of you very much.
4:11 pm
sorry van, and paul. thanks to both of youp. i's not just in baltimore where yaw have the debates going on. across the country there's another police department under fire. this is an incredible case. that is unto 3,000 cases. in san francisco racist and homophobic texts between 14 officers are throwing 3,000 criminal cases into question. dan simon is outfront with our report. >> is san francisco the new ferguson? [ bleep ]. >> ferguson is here. >> the unlikely comparison comes among the troubling disclosure of racist and homophobic text messages exchanged between more than a dozen of fran police officers. texts causing a major stir. do you celebrate kwanza at your school in the reply, yeah we burn the cross on the field. in another text quote, they should be spade. the response i saw one an hour
4:12 pm
ago with four kids. >> the messages that were being traded between the officers were horrendous. >> it's why the san francisco district attorney george gascon is investigating some 3,000 cases in which the officers were involved cases that could potentially be tainted by perceived racial bias. >> this is an area that we cannot afford to look the other way. >> in some cases criminals will have to be let go. eight active cases have already been dismissed. >> are we talking about a lot of cases where people were wrongfully arrested or accused because they're african american? >> we don't know the answer to that today. you know we'll get to the answer. i'm fully committed to do soing. >> the texas messages surfaces earlier this year in a federal case involving a san francisco police officer on trial for corruption. sergeant ian fer men jer was sentenced to more than three
4:13 pm
years in prison after being found guilty of stealing drugs and belongings from suspected drug dealers. the tekts were sent or received by 14 officers in 2011 and 2012. there were hateful words used against gays mexicans and philippine philippine philippine noes as well. >> if i offend anybody, i'm sorry. i'mlytruly, truly sorry. it's banter among friends. >> these disgusting text messages have exposed what some civil rights activists have complained about for years, that there's an element of racism within the police department. reverend brown is the head of the chapter of the naacp. >> we're 45% of the population. i know ferguson is over in missouri. but in terms of attitudes,
4:14 pm
practices and outcomes as it pertains to justice for black people in this city we are ferguson. >> reporter: well the san francisco police chief declined or request for an on camera interview but said that the department has no tolerance at all for homophobic or racists behavior. he's recommended that at least eight of the officers be terminated. and erin it just goes to show you that even in sflan, a city known for diversity and inclusion, we're not immune to these kinds of problems involving police. >> those text messages that you're sharing sounded like some of the e-mail we heard out of ferguson. outfront next tom brady shrugging off deflate charges. is brady untouchable or will he be held to the same standards as others. a new fbi warning against isis prompts a massive boost of security in mill taye bases

tonight silence from the nfl. it's been three days since a damning report charge tom brady, that he knew the game balls were deflated to his advantage during the afc championship game. the league has been silent on a punishment. this as brady remains defiant, he smiled and laughed off the allegations. her's jason carroll outfront. >> new england's quarterback arrived like a rock star flying in by chopper for his speaking engagement at salem university outside boston. he was met by applause and kept his smile while answers questions about a report into so-called deflate gate. one would suggest that brady cheated durgz the afc championship game during with indianapolis colts. brady's critics said he played dumb. >> it's only been 30 houshs so i
4:20 pm
haven't had much time to digest it fully but when i do i'll be sure to let you know how i feel about it. >> ru that slow a roader? >> well my athletic career is better than my academic career. i'm usually used to reading xs and os. >> noed a submission of guilt. sile and move on. if he had read the 243-page report it would have seen that it alleges more probable than not that brady was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities. this is not the first time his character has come into question. in 2007 many wonders whether belay brady knew his ex-girlfriend was pregnant when he broke up with her and began dating super model gisele bundchen. many of his sfans have not waird. >> i'm a new england girl and i'm going to stand by tom brady 100%. >> people that love him still love him, people that hate him still hate him, you know.
4:21 pm
he's pretty bullet proof around here. >> he's earned the nickname teflon tom. but now critics are coming forward. shannon sharp tweeted brady must be suspended for a minimum of two to four games. cleveland head coach saying this i've always had a lot of respect for him, but i lose a lot of respect for guys who cheat. and usa today's chris chase, his ego is far too big to admit he lied. witness his smirking sitdown with jim gray on thursday night. >> tom it looks like you picked a pretty friendly place to reappear. >> thank you guys for being here. thank you very much. >> the question is will the applause last. >> if you're a patriots fan, tom can do no wrong. i think that brady is certainly the john f. kennedy of the sports world. what i don't think is this might
4:22 pm
tarnish his legacy somewhat. >> well we'll have to see about that. the nfl says that no decisions have been made about any sort of punishment at all. the nfl has a lot of options that they could be putting on the table. they could suspend him, they could fine him or they could simply do nothing at all. >> thank you very much. let's bring in sports agent drew rosen house. he represents three patriots players. so obviously the story affects pim personally. also with me the former linebacker for the san diego chargers sean mayorman. i know you see the story differently. drew you heard tom brady last night, you saw tom brady last night. he was in a friendly room. that's going to make your body language and everything very calm. so some it may appear smug and to a lot of people it did appear smug and disingenuous. what did you think in. >> the guy is one of the am.
4:23 pm
time greatest players in the history of the nfl. he deserves the benefit of the doubt in my opinion. i know this report came out. but i want to see what the league is going to do with it. quite frankly there's a lot of probables, a lot of maybes a lot of dots that are connected. but it takes more than that to come down and enforce a serious penalty. i'm represented players who have been punishedly the nufl unfairly and the appeals have been heard and we've had the rulings overturned. i'm sure tom brady's legal team is chomping at the bit to take a shot if the league disciplines him in a heavy handed fashion. there's not a lot of hard evidence here. >> sean, you say and i think you tweeted last night, like a pep rally. those were your words. >> it was a pep rally. you heard more cheering than anything else.
4:24 pm
we didn't see that. i feel like his attitude is he knows the league won't come count on him as much or as hard so he's taking the approach. whether he says he's guilty or not, it doesn't mat are. his approach to this whole thing is you know he won't be held accountable as much as anybody else. if this was anybody else other than tom brady, they would have been suspended at this time. if he's just find most players in the nfl are going to be outraged because they know if they were put in the same situation, they would have been suspended. >> on the point, you're talking about the circumstantial evidence. there's a lot of it and it's important. but as you poind out, you've got to put the dots together to with stand an appeal. but there is a common sense test here ap and brady talked abtd his football preferences in the past. here he is a couple of years ago talking talking. >> when he scores like a
4:25 pm
touchdown, it spikes the ball and it deflats the ball enand i like that because i like the deflated ball. >> obviously i'm putting out for circumstantial evidence. but i'm makes a serious point. this is a guy who can touch a football and know whether it's been deflated. even if you can't prove if he knew who or when it was deflated when he touched it he would have known it was deflated. isn't he therefore responsible? >> erin i'm sorry. i think this thing is so overblown. the patriots beat the colts because on that day they were the better football team. >> but how will you ever really know that if they did it by cheating? >> it was football. because they ran for like 250 yards. blunt won that game not tom brady. i think this is overblown. look they're a very successful team he's a successful guy. i think this thing is blown out of proportion.
4:26 pm
they're a great football team and they won the super bowl and they didn't win it because of the supposeds deflated footballs that tom brady knew about. i'm not into suspending guys and fining guys over innuendos. i'm an agent. i support the players. i'm looking for the nfl pa backing it up. if he cheated and they can prove it he should sb punished. >> if he came out and said you know what i had a little bit of air taken out of the ball this is the way i like to throw the ball. fine him. let it be that. it's the fact that he has no knowledge of the entire -- like he didn't know. there's 243 pages of evidence show that he did at least know about it. at this point he should have been fined if he came out after the game when he found out and it was made public. now he should be punished and the organization should be punished as well. >> everybody deserves to handle
4:27 pm
things with the media differently. i believe that the patriots organization should not be punished if bill bill la check or the other players organizationally weren't involved. i don't think it's fair to punish the patriots a bit. if this was an isolated incident i don't think you can punish the patriots organization. >> sean you were suspended for four years for violating the nfl's rules or performance enhancing drugs. what do you think tom brady deserves? >> i believe he deserves six games. if you don't suspend tom brady at this point, you're setting the standard across the league that it's okay for everybody else. in my souspension, i didn't go back and say it was unfair. i deserved my suspension. i made a mistake. in this point tom brady made a
4:28 pm
huge mistake. he deserves to be punished. >> i thank both of you very much. we'll wait to see if we hear from the nfl next week. outfront breaking news u.s. mail tear bases on high alert tonight. there's an fbi warning from isis targeting american military personnel and whether threatening so much of the country tonight, 20 million people tornadoes, hail heavy rains, possibly the first hurricane of the year and it is only the beginning of may. our special report coming up. ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

4:32 pm
breaking news at this hour military bases across the united states are right now under heightened alert. increased security tonight after an fbi warning that isis was par geting them. as we speak the security level is at bravo, which means the threat is increased and a predictable threat. so that's important. and as you can see, it moved up from the lower leveling. bravo the yellow. the threat has not been at this level since the tenth anniversary of the 9/1 is
4:33 pm
attacks. jim shoe to is out in washington tonight. this is a significant thing for them to do the move the level up when they're talking about specifics. what exactly prompted this isis fear and warning? >> well, i'll tell you it's because the british jihadi tweeted out the name and address of a u.s. military officer this week, he's the man who's believed to have pushed the texas gunman to attack. and this is not the first time isis has done this. last year they published the names and addresses of some 100 members of the u.s. military. and we know that hay have pushed isis orders in canada. there were a couple of other recruits there who used their cars to attack men in uniform. >> and jim, they're also saying they're going to increase the fbi is going to increase its surveillance of people that think are going to do something for sigh sis in the united states. we've heard from former cia
4:34 pm
agents there could be tens of thousands of people that have under surveillance. how can they monitor those people closely? sfl there have to be multiple layers of monitoring. the numbers you here are hundreds of investigations and thousands who have checked out a jihadi website, followed someone from isis followed someone on twitter. then the judgment is who do you consider serious enough to put full surveillance on. the texas gunman they put him under investigation but not full surveillance. that attack happened and we saw that in texas. they have thousands of guys there. they didn't get the "charlie hebdo" attackers right either. that's why in the wake of this you have the fbi director calling all of his officers saying we need to look at all of the suspects to see if anyone needs heightened monitoring. >> ijim shoeciutto.
4:35 pm
we have a large tornado on the ground in texas right now, part of a massive dangerous storm system bearing down on 20 million americans tonight. from cnn to texas people are bracing for an incredible and dangerous storm vortex. at this hour at least four tornado watches are in effect. this is an area as you can see here, that's already been hit with massive funnel clouds leaving paths of devastation in its wake. top left that one in cnn, it was intense fires, there was one north of dallas lightning hit a natural gas -- well, you can see the damage there. threatening the east coast, the first named storm of the hurricane season, a major storm called ana, barrelling towards the carolinas bringing heavy rains, high winds, coastal flooding and according to our latest metrological forecast
4:36 pm
the storm is growing in the strength at the minute. jennifer gray is out front at the storm prediction center in norman oklahoma. we're talking about a rare unprecedented storm system that you're looking at right now. >> yeah. we are looking at major storms we're looking at snowstorms in the rockies open a tropical system. it's sort of the weather trifecta here this weekend. we're looking at dangerous storms on the texas/oklahoma line. we have tornado warnings in effect for cotton and jefferson counties in oklahoma and clay county in texas. there are reports of a tornado on the ground there. if buyers area as well as hastings hastings. we have been looking at a couple of other tornado warnings in texas just a little bit southwest of wichita falls. this one that we're speaking of the tornado possibly on the ground it is actually to the northeast of wichita falls right on the texas-oklahoma line. this is not the only night of severe weather. we've been talking about severe weather pretty much every single
4:37 pm
night this week and the threat continues. as we go today, saturday and even into sunday, and we could see it ramp up more tomorrow. swre a moderate risk of severe weather, especially in central and western oklahoma that does extend south into north texas. you mentioned we're here in norman at the storm prediction center. the men and women here are hard at work. they're issuing watching and warnings in connection with the national weather service. they'll be working around the clock to get the warnings out quickly so everyone can stay inform pd the biggest thing, stay ahead of it. know what's going to go on this weekend, especially if you're in the areas of the highest risk and now what to do have a plan to stay safe. >> thanks very much to you. and the unprecedented line of severe storms is causing damaging winds, drenching rains. we talked about the hail and the serious tornadoes. ryan young is outside of oklahoma just north of the texas
4:38 pm
state line. you've been driving around storm chasing. what have you seen? >> reporter: well we've been driving for two or three hours now. my photographer is guiding us down east. and we have been seeing heavy hail. you know it's a sound you won't forget. we've pulled off to the side of the road a couple of times. this is what we noticed. the day started with just light rain and then all of the sudden -- >> and it looks like obviously we lost that shot. the weather out there is pretty terrible. so with some of these live shots and technology we're not always able to have to have them consistently. next an american ebola survivor thought to be cured has a stunning relapse. out in public living a normal life but ebola was still alive inside him, inside his eye. plus another craig's list killing, a teen selling his car

4:43 pm
tonight, ebola in an american's eye. an american who had been given a clean bill of health after being hit with ebola suddenly was in great pain. he found out the ebola was still alive and in his eye. he's what we know. dr. ian crozier was helicoptered in atlanta ebola. in object he got the clean bill of health. and then two months later he was back in the hospital. his left eye was in great pain. his iris had turned in this blue that you see here to green and as you can see, the pup l had dilated incredibly. and tests showed that while his blood was declared ebola free that eye still full of the cyrus. dr. sanjay gupta is outfront. this is a bizarre story. it's a frightening story. the first question is he gets the clean bill of health two months later the ebola was in his eye.
4:44 pm
how was he able to survive and was it alive the whole time in his eye? did it migrate? >> most likely it had been in his eye all along. interesting thing about the eye is that they're sort of immune privileged meaning that cells that fight infections have a hard time getting to certain places. so ebola the virus or it could have been any virus, if it gets in the eye, sometimes the body has a harder time clearing it. that can happened in certain parts of the brain as well and your cartilage. likely hae had the infection from the beginning. it's not in his blood anymore which is what gave him the clean bill of health. this but because he's having these semp toums, they put a needle in his eye and when they pulled back some of the fluid, they found the ebola virus in that fluid. >> you're talking about places in the body. this is incredible. that it's hard for immune cells to get to things can survive, in cartilage, parts of the
4:45 pm
brain, the eye. when this doctor -- as this country was told the doctor was healthy, back in public no longer contagious. obviously they didn't know or expect that the virus would be in his eye. how can he know he wasn't a risk to others around him if the ebola was still there? >> it's a great question and a question that we put directly to the doctors who did the procedure. they were the ones who had the most contact. i should mention first of all that we've known about the possibility of ebola lingering in the eye for some time. even back in the outbreak of 1995 in africa there were some patients who squebtly were found to have the virus if their eye a couple of months after they were declared ebola free. it wasn't new. but what these doctors did was interesting. they -- around the tear duct they took the tears and the area and looked for the ebola fist before they did the tap.
