just one wrong turn turns into tragedy in upstate new york. a woman shot and killed after the car she was riding in accidentally pulled into the wrong driveway. officials say, 20 year old kalen this you see her, there were three other people were looking for a friend's house saturday when they got lost after realizing their mistake, the group began to leave. that's when authorities say 65 year old kevin monahan, fired two shots at the car from his porch. one struck gillis. she later died. cnn's bridge in grass has been following the story brings in the circumstances of this shocking i can only imagine how her family is absorbing this. tell us what we know. jim, so i just actually got off the phone with the defense attorney of the man who is charged with second degree murder. in this case, kevin monahan, 65 years old, and he has appeared before judge arraigned on that charge, and he's still waiting for a bell
10:03 am
hearing. actually t judge was supposed to hear that case is actually his neighbor, so they're still waiting to get a new judge in that case, but as far as the circumstances of this case, you kind of laid it out there. about the authorities say that this group of kids who are in a car went down the driveway of monaghan and realize because self service is so terrible in that area in hebrew in new york that they were in the wrong area and decided to turn around, and that's when shots were fired or allegedly by monahan, one striking this 20 year old victim , katelyn polantz, and actually , authorities say they had to drive almost five miles just to get to an area where they could get cell phone reception and call 911 and one paramedics arrived. she died at the scene. i want you to hear more from the sheriff who was on our show at 11 o'clock. yes not made any statements. you obtained a lawyer before he came out of the house. many has not made any statements and, quite frankly, is not shown any remorse in this case. he was not threatened at
10:04 am
all of the kids. didn't he get out of their cars? they didn't say anything. there was no words exchanged. um you know they were turning around as as i said, leaving so there certainly was no threat. so you know, i'm hopeful that will be able to get a successful prosecution in this case and that justice is served for the gillis family. and for kailyn. jim. as i said, i just spoke to the defense attorney who paints a very different picture, he says. actually his client called him while authorities were at his door. he wasn't aware that he actually hit anybody or actually hit that car when it showed up in his driveway as far as still why he fired any shots. his attorney essentially says that there are no trespassing signs on his driveway. it's about an eighth mile long he was, you know, in his view, according to his attorney, he did feel threatened so different picture there, but certainly this is something that will play out in the courts gym. one more family has to deal with someone lost to gun violence,
10:05 am
and i can only imagine that five mile drive. they have to tell us what we know about how the family and friends are are receiving this yes. so the family does have a go fund me page for kailyn, um, of the sheriff actually said that this was a young woman who was excited to study marine biology and florida. i talked to a community member who said that she took senior portrait. okay lynn, and she will never forget that smile. that's how she's being most remembered to some people, but as far as the community gym, i'm they say it's a shock. there's a spectrum of feelings from disbelief discussed and just shock and sadness. understandable bridgend grass. thanks so much. boris seems like we're telling stories like this every day. it does. and right now, police are waiting for the man who shot an unarmed black teenager in kansas city to turn himself in. 84 year old andrew lester is charged with shooting 16 year old ralph earle after the team rang lester's doorbell by mistake, er was trying to pick up his younger brothers, but he went to the wrong house. lester is now
10:06 am
facing two felony charges, first degree assault and armed criminal action. the team band student is fortunately now out of the hospital, recovering at home from gunshot wounds to his head and arm. and we should point out just a short time ago , students at his high school let a unity walk to show support for their injured classmate. let's take you now live to kansas city and cnn's lucy cavanaugh, who has been tracking this story for us lucy. charges have been filed in the case. but lester is still not in custody, and charles family attorney says that is a huge mistake. it's the million dollar question. boris this is andrew lester's home. we've been here for the past two days, and it does not appear that anyone's been home at all. during this time. we are trying to figure out when exactly it is that this man is going to turn himself into police custody. he is, as you point out, facing two charges, the first of which armed criminal action could earn him 3 to 15 years behind bars,
10:07 am
the more serious charge, which is first degree felony assault, could see him spend the rest of his life. in prison. the community here has been demanding justice. you showed those pictures of his classmates ralph girls classmates staging that peaceful march today outside of their classroom. they're describing this as a unity walk. he's been loved by fellow classmates and teachers. he played for instruments classmates, describing him as a kind, smart young man, a humble man who did not brag. the incident unfolded on the porch of this home behind me. the teen as you point out, made a mistake. he was supposed to be picking up his younger siblings at 100 and 15th terrorists. that home is actually a block away. the gray home past the yard behind me. this is 115th street. we know, according to court documents that ralph you are rang the doorbell. this is, according to lester, what he told the police on the evening of april, 14th. lester said that he had just laid down to go to
10:08 am
bed. you heard the bell ring. he grabbed her. 32 caribou caliber revolver and shot this man because he said he thought it was somebody trying to break in , and he was afraid for his size. the young man now recovering at home, but the road to the emotional recovery, the trauma recovery that's going to be a very long one. boris lucy kevin off reporting in kansas city keep us up to date with the latest details. brianna over to you. still a lot of legal questions to go through here for that. let's turn to cnn legal analyst joey jackson. joey thank you so much for being with us on this felony, first degree assault and felony armed criminal action to these charges fit the alleged crimes here. well for now it appears to and let's talk about why good to be with you, brianna with respect to this guy, actual case in missouri, we know that the actual victim is not dead. as a result of that. what the d a did that is the district attorney's they prosecuted for the first degree assault. what does that mean assault charge in the first degree indicates that you were
10:09 am
either attempting to kill him or attempting to inflict serious bodily injury. as a result of that, you get to that charge. specter armed criminal action if you commit any felony, and you have a weapon, then there it goes that meets with that. and to the extent that he could face life in jail, we know that significant. the only open question brianna is whether or not there will be hate crime charge added to this as a result of the press conference were in the prosecutor indicated that there was racial animus. because as of right now, as you mentioned, he's not being charged with a hate crime, even though authorities did mention there is a racial component to what happened here. does that make sense to you? well i think is the prosecutor described it. what his rationale was, was that the highest charged here as an a felony and to the extent that he could be charged with that crime and spend the rest of his life in jail? the prosecutor reasons yesterday doing the press conference at that was sufficient. however having said that, i think charges that are
10:10 am
leveled against someone need to meet with the factual components of what their actions were. and if the action was motivated by racial animist, and that's something that the prosecutor needs to consider those charges . i should note act as enhancements, and i think what the prosecutor was saying is that to the degree that it's enhanced already, i'm not charging it. at the same time, however, i think a community demanding of justice for an individual who was simply ringing the wrong doorbell. you need to consider what actions led to this. and if there was racial animus, then why not charge it? it would only be appropriate for the family. and the community. joey ralph, you are all the boy who rang the bell. he told police that he did not touch the glass storm door. lester the homeowner says you are all was grabbing the exterior handle. why does that detail matter? you know it's every detail matters, but as it relates to defending your home, i think they're critical issue for the defense is going to be whether that threshold was passed. you have to at some
10:11 am
point if you're a defendant in a case and you're arguing self defense, you have to lay out what you were defending you defending yourself. and if so, were you in immediate fear of death or serious physical injury will certainly depending upon the actions of the person who was you ultimately shot. you want to know what that individual i was doing so if they didn't cross that threshold . what were you fearful of? what was the immediate threat that would compel you to discharge a firearm that wants to the head but another to the arm. and so that's a critical issue. the other issue, of course, is stand your ground. i just should note that stand. your ground is not a license to kill. it's not a license to shoot. it's not. i'll shoot because i feel like it in the low. protect me. it enables a person who believes that they are an immediate fear of death or serious injury to protect themselves in the event that mr y'all? i shouldn't even say mr he's a boy's 16 years old. the reality is what specifically was he doing that led you to discharge a weapon? if that
10:12 am
can't be established stand your ground doesn't apply. and guess what if it doesn't apply? how else are you going to justify your actions? if you can't that equals assault in the first degree under this jurisdiction punishable by life. so many questions still here, joey jackson. thank you for taking us through that, boris always 12. jurors have just been seated in the biggest defamation trial in a generation dominion voting systems is seeking $1.6 billion in damages against fox news, accusing the network of perpetuating false claims that its machines rigged the 2020 election against donald trump. legal experts say the benchmark is high for dominion. they have to prove that fox acted with actual malice when it peddled these lies of dominion flipping votes. let's go outside the courthouse in wilmington's delaware right now, with cnn's danny freeman. danny talked to us about the breakdown of this jury that was just selected. so, boris, like you said the
10:13 am
headline of this morning is that we do finally have a jury. they were sworn in at 11 a.m. this morning, and i want to tell you a little bit about the demographics that we're talking about. right here. we have 1st 12 jurors in that primary drew pool and then 12 alternates. the judge said that he wanted a large amount of alternates because this trial is going to last very long, so anything could happen in terms of people getting sick and in terms of the specific makeup. we have six men and six women on that primary jury of 12 and then according to our reporting, marshal cohen, who has been inside of that courtroom, at least nine of those people are people of color, and i should remind you that all of these jurors are coming from new castle county where we are right here in wilmington's. now it's interesting. the judge was trying to implore the jury to try to shut out the outside world as long as you can as much as you can. when you're in this case, the judge, the judge, even saying to the jurors. you should fight human nature and avoid talking about this case before deliberations and added, don't let rumors suspicion or anything else influence you in any way. but of course, this is a media trial about media with all of the media out here, so it's
10:14 am
gonna be hard you can imagine for those jurors to surely sequester their minds from any outside content. but that's what we have today and again, the jury has set we're in lunch recess right now. opening statements set to start in 1 30. so danny. let's talk about those opening statements because even before the trial has actually started, there are already heated arguments between the two sides. that's right, boris and you know all throughout the proceedings leading up to this trial, there have been back and forth between these two camps, dominion and fox news today. there was some discussion. there were objections. i should say from actually both sides about some of the slides that each side was going to present at opening in these opening statements, but i can tell you now that those objections have been settled the two attorney teams they got together actually , before the recess, they were able to work that out. so now we have a green light. we should be seeing opening statements this afternoon as soon as this coming hour, boris a six week trial that is expected to be rife with all sorts of fireworks and potentially very interesting testimony. danny freeman from wellington, delaware. thank you

10:20 am
nationwide involvement for kristen, so this is an especially significant case. cnn's jessica schneider is outside of the supreme court for us. just what are we expecting? here? well brianna world likely to see a response from the justice department of the drug manufacturer dan co. before the supreme court decides whether to step in yet again and stop those restrictions from going into effect on this abortion bill. that's all because the supreme court really does have until 11 59 pm to act tomorrow night. so what we're seeing is just about the past hour from these anti abortion doctors is they're filing telling the supreme court these restrictions should go into effect. this group of doctors is saying that over the past quarter century. the government and the drug manufacturer here, says quote have brazenly flouted the law and applicable regulations disregarded holes in red flags in their own safety data, intentionally evaded judicial review and continually placed politics above women's health. so that is the argument from the
10:21 am
anti abortion doctors will see how doj responds now there really are two ways probably that supreme court could rule here. they could yet again decided to pause these restrictions as the appeals process plays out in the lower court, which it already is, with oral arguments in the fifth circuit scheduled for may 17th or the supreme court could decide not to act at all, and let these restrictions go into effect as of midnight wednesday into thursday, if those restrictions were to go into effect, there would be big changes in the way this drug is administered first of all women over seven weeks pregnant would not be able to take the drug right now they can take it up to 10. in weeks. and also, women wouldn't be able to get this drug by mail or via telehealth with their doctors that have to do everything in person. so brianna, we are waiting to see what the supreme court does. it's likely they won't rule tonight because they'll have all day tomorrow to decide what should happen here and whether or not these restrictions should go into effect will wait to see how the justice department responds. and then wait to hear
10:22 am
from the supreme court, brianna. huge implications. just thank you for that report. jim alright, also happening in washington right now president biden set to sign a sweeping executive order at the white house aimed at making childcare more affordable and more accessible. if you're a parent, you know all too well the high cost of raising a child, so let's take a look. the average cost for childcare for just one child. ranges anywhere from $5000 all the way up to more than $17,000. that's per year. that means some families are spending as much as 19% 1/5 of their income to provide childcare just for one child, cnn's phil mattingly, he's live at the white house, phil, i'm curious. how far can you executive order go to provide relief here, given that legislative attempts to do so i haven't gotten anywhere. jim there are very real limits. there's no question about that. that's something, administration officials acknowledge. and yet everything that you just laid out all of the statistics, which have really been at the center of president biden's domestic policy, and economic teams focus
10:23 am
over the course of his two plus years in office have made them kind of drive toward a decision to take executive action. as you noted, these issues, child care , home care paid leave to some degree were central elements of his sweeping legislative agenda in his first two years, central elements that did not make the cut. but did not get across the finish line in the bills that ended up getting past and now with republicans in control of the house, no clear pathway now at all, for those to move through legislatively, so the president is going to act via executive order and what he's doing today. has a couple of different pieces. the primary one is directing every single federal agency to try and find programs within the current scope of government using the current funding streams where they can think of grant programs , things like that medicare medicaid, where they can divert some of that money into lowering the cost of childcare into incentivizing, home care workers . childcare workers trying to address at least on the areas where they have some control where they have jurisdiction, particularly with federal
10:24 am
workers or companies that work with the federal government. to try and at least implement some of these changes on a smaller scale. now the reality remains the case. there's no clear pathway to the bride to the broad, wide ranging efforts the president put into his initial proposals, but this serves two roles, one to kind of lay out what they see as kind of the way this should work if they have legislative majorities that can pass things in the future. but also a political move. there's no question about that. the president is nearing an announcement for reelection campaign. this has long been central to his economic agenda. it will be central to any campaign agenda. the president making clear in the rose garden with this executive order that his focus remains on this issue, jim yeah, there's been some signs of bipartisan ports for something in the past, but clearly not enough phil mattingly at the white house boards over to you now to some of the other headlines were watching for at this hour, american journalist ivan gorshkov itch will remain in a notorious russian prison, at least for now. today a moscow court rejected an appeal to change the terms of his

10:34 am
you had the chance to speak with phil staviyski, dawdles mother and sister. what did they share with you? boris tanya allen that is filled dawdles mother. she told me that earlier in the night she was warned that somebody there were rumors flying around that somebody might have a gun. so she cut on the lights. she got on the microphone and warn the kids. if anyone's got a gun, you got to leave, she said. nobody left. then she told me that there wasn't any sort of commotion or fight before the gunfire erupted . and in the chaos of this mass shooting, neither her nor her daughter could tell just how many shooters are work. alan tells me that they've gotten very little from investigators but have been told that there is nobody in custody. alexis dowdell, it was her sweet 16th birthday party that they were celebrating, and she tells me that her brother died saving her life. and then, um, all i
10:35 am
remember is my brother grabbed me and pushed me down to the ground. why they shooting and i just feel in the whole blood i had ran in and i had picked my brother and i turned them over and i was telling him i was like you five like you gonna make you strong. and alan tells me they haven't had a chance to even plan a funeral. that's because phil phil dawdles body has not been released to the family. allen tells me that he's undergoing an autopsy. oris what an incredibly painful thing for that family to have to deal with an s seville. it's fascinating that she was warned that somebody at the venue might have a weapon. i'm sure that investigators are interested in that detail. have they said anything about a potential suspect? or as they have

whisker ben wiedemann in eastern ukraine. this is cnn. right now is the pentagon launches a massive review of it's classified document protocols and rules and scrambled to determine if other intelligence materials are still circulating online, america's closest ally, says some of the information leaked onto an online gaming chat room is just flat out bogus, britain's top defense official told myself alex marquardt, another reporters. the leak contains quote significant inaccuracies. or manipulation of information, he added. quote there are definitely things in there that i've seen that i know not to be true here to discuss national security council coordinator for strategic communications admiral john kirby, good to have you on thanks for joining us on the show. so first i wonder do you share that assessment? ben wallace told told me this morning. listen he's seen a lot of false stuff there. he says that he's not too worried about it. do you share that assessment? we know that some of
10:43 am
the documents have been sort of doctored or manipulated in some way, not all of them but some of them so with certain there is a case to be made that not all that information is valid id we we've also said that some of this information that's out there is sort of time sensitive . in other words, it's snapshot in time that the intelligence assessments and events quite frankly, have moved beyond what some of those documents say. but look, jim. no bones about it. we're taking this seriously. we still don't know the full scope of what's out there. what has been disclosed inappropriately, and we want to get our hands around this bit matter a lot. but one thing that strikes me is that it is it's several of the things leaked deal with issues today, right potential ukrainian offenses the state of its air defenses in that in that timing , and then you look at taiwan, the state of taiwan's defenses as there is great concern about china's plans. plans there on ukraine. does this affect at all ukrainian calculations about when to launch this expected counter offensive point you to what the ukrainians themselves have said that they don't see
10:44 am
any impact to their future defensive and offensive operations in the weeks and months ahead, and only they can decide sort of how they're going to conduct those operations or what changes they want to make to that. what we're going to stay focused on aside from trying to get, you know a better sense of the national security implications here, changing the protocols and practices as best we can to deal with this and supporting the criminal investigation is to continue to support ukraine in the battlefield. you're going to see continued security assistance coming from the united states. we know that the weeks and months ahead are going to be critical for ukraine, and we want to make sure that we're getting them the kinds of capabilities that they're going to need. let me ask you this because i've covered this story, and i, like others have covered previous leaks. i look at chelsea manning. i look at edward stone, and it's the common threads here in that you have someone at a relatively low level who had a clearance but had access to materials that seemed far beyond their duties or at least the ability to do so. and i know this particular person had a had a cyber role that gave them perhaps capability to do that. the d o.
10:45 am
d has tried to correct to plug these holes after previous leaks. when you look at chelsea manning, they clearly have not plug those holes. why not? and why aren't there greater restrictions on what people can access beyond their actual day to day duties? secretary austin at the pentagon is doing that right now. the president directed both he the intel community as well as the state department and take a look at the protocols and procedures that are in place for access to classified material. and just as importantly, the distribution of that classified material, so we're gonna we're gonna learn more. that, but why not before right? i mean, the vulnerabilities have been exposed before. so for instance , why wasn't there a better way to track when someone downloads and prints dot there was i was at the pentagon in the wake of the manning disclosure, and there were changes made now what happened in the intervening years? i can't speak to. but look, i think it's important to remember that security protocols when it comes to classified material. it's never a static thing. it doesn't just sit state. it's in stasis. we're constantly reviewing it. we're constantly trying to make it better and clearly. are going to
10:46 am
take a look at this incident to see what kind of changes need to be made. want to talk about an issue also on the ground in ukraine, and that is this us warning to russia, saying in effect do not touch any u. s technology at the zappa reach a nuclear power plant. why that warning now? what's the level of urgency? and are you confident that they have not yet access such such technology? i think you need to take a couple steps back here. first of all, they shouldn't be there. there's no reason for russian forces to be at that nuclear power plant should not be militarized that needs to stop and we want to make sure that it can maintain its safety and security. and i think the warning you're talking about is in the context of maintaining the security of the nuclear facility. we have not seen any sort of radio activity or leaks or any damage in that regard. but look, i mean, it's still getting shelled, and russian forces are still there. it needs to be demilitarized. we agree with the director general of the iaea that the forces need to move out. well, retired admiral john kirby. always good to have you on the program. you're welcome to come back to be with you still to come
