8:00 am
how many wounds, and meese important, did my loved ones suffer. pain and suffering is concerned. we can answer those questions on day one on the basis of the injuries. such as, when there is a damage to the brain, wound to the brain, i amimmediate loss of consciousness at that point and telling that to a family can often be very helpful at a trying time for the family. so, that's is why we were
8:01 am
called. when we were called, mr. crump said they had been trying to get the federal, the fbi, the federal government involved without, without success at that time and that is why they wanted me to come in. shortly after we started the autopsy, channel 5, i'm sorry, after we started the autopsy, then there was announced they would do another autopsy which is fine because it shows the interest and the concern, the federal government has in this kind of death and, you're all here because many black men die of accident, of homicide, every day in this country, and rarely, and never as far as i recall has the president of the united states got involved. the only other time the president got involved was i remember, when charles manson
8:02 am
did his thing. you guys weren't born in those times and he was upset about it but not in a civil rights way. i think that, understanding what is happening and, one thing i want to add here though, mary case is the chief medical examiner in st. louis county, she is a very excellent forensic pathologist and i'm sure her work will turn out to be very excellent when it is released but again, it hasn't been released yet. and the family wants to know certain simple questions that so far we've been able to answer. sean parcells is, has been, instrumental in the autopsy evaluation. i don't know if you wanted to point that out, anything on the, on the anatomy of the gunshot wounds, that beautiful drawing?
8:03 am
>> first ever all, i'm professor sean parcells and i would like to thank everyone for bringing me into this case and we're here for the family to answer questions about what happened to michael brown? and i want you guys to understand that when, an autopsy is done, that, we look at the body in anatomical position. this is the anatomical position? this is not how we stand, how we walk, but, medically speaking we like to describe wound this way. and as you all know dr. baden and i concluded that he was shot at least six times. we've got one to the very top of the head, the apex. we've got one that entered just above the right eyebrow. we've got one that entered the top part of the right arm. we've got a graze wound, a superficial graze wound, to the
8:04 am
middle part of the right arm, we've got a wound that entered the mead y'all aspect of the right arm? and we've got a deep graze wound that produce ad laceration to the palm of the right hand. now these two were the, where the xs are, represent what dr. bauden and i feel are possible reentry wounds. so, the wound that forehead above the right eyebrow, actually came out right around the right eye and went back in. and then exited again right here in the jaw line and came out and went back into the right shoulder. that is from one bullet. now we -- we have to confer that with the first autopsy. this wound right here to the
8:05 am
side of the chest is also a possible reentry wound. which wound on the arm that correlates to we're not sure. we have to correlate all of this with the first autopsy. and the other critical point that i want everyone to be very clear on is that this wound to the mead y'all aspect of the right arm just generally speaking happened right about here, okay? so what dr. baud enand i feel that -- bauden and i feel occurred, by the way this red mark is showing that same wound. this is not a separate wound. this is showing the same wound in the same wound in the arm. there was a witness statement that said he was walking away and the gone goes off and he kind of jerks
8:06 am
the question asked of us could that wound occur of him walking away and then he turns around. it is consistent with that. however, understand too while the shot could have come from the back, if i'm standing here walking along and get shot from that direction, you see i pull my arm up, in that same general area, the arm is a very mobile part of your body. it also could have occurred when he was putting his hands up. if i put my hand up and you see where this wound is at, it could have happened if he put his arms across in defensive manner. we don't know. we still have to look at other aspects of this investigation before we can really start piecing things together. dr. baden? >> yeah. the attorneys behind me thought that there might be a question among you. we're here to --
8:07 am
8:08 am
could have been 30 feet away. would have been the same thing. in order to be firm about that we also have to look at clothing which we haven't had opportunity to look at. sometimes the clothing can filter out residues. >> [inaudible] >> there are six bullets struck him. six bullets struck and two may have reentered and three bullets were recovered at the first autopsy. according to our report. there were, the two head wounds and the bullet to the chest stayed in the victim's and were removed at the first autopsy from our examination of the body. one of the things that will be important for to us see is the
8:09 am
x-rays. the old black and white x-rays, that will show where the bullets were at, before the autopsy was started much. and that is documented in x-rays taken before an autopsy in a gunshot wound case. >> -- [inaudible]. >> yes. i spoke with dr. mary case, and they did the, they did awe the proper accident. race, photographs and they should be available at some time. whether today or whether three or four months from now, often depend on what the prosecutor wants to do. mary case will tell you everything i'm telling you on day one but often in an investigation like this it is not uncommon for prosecutors not to want information released. but i think in my experience
8:10 am
when that happens, it only gets the community more upset. >> i have a question. >> [inaudible]. >> is it possible -- >> are you a member of the media? >> i am not so -- >> only media. only media. >> were there any signs of a struggle on his victim's. >> i didn't hear? >> -- clothing and were there any signs of a struggle? >> two things. i think at some point, we should, defense should have access to the clothing. that depend largely, the clothing is now from, dr. case's advice, in the los angeles. bill: st. louis county police police agency. they will look at it. up to them from the when the defense, the family, will have access to it.
8:11 am
so at some time there will be access to it. and the results as the other part of the question was? >> any signs of a struggle. >> any signs of a struggle. there weren't signs of a struggle. in talking about a struggle, one of the things that the attorneys have also asked for is the medical examination of the officer who woos in a struggle. so, signs of a injury to the officer, to, to michaare both n. one thing is that there are abrasions around the right side of mr. brown's face, rubbing against the ground, which happened as best we can at the, after the gunshot wound he fell flat down unprotected and got those abrasions. otherwise, no evidence of a struggle, and it will be
8:12 am
important to, in evaluation of the case for the medical examiner, the fbi, for the defense, not the defense, the family to see what happened to the officer. >> [inaudible]. >> over here for a second. >> -- [inaudible] and how long it took? >> our autopsy that we did, the first autopsy at the county medical examiner, second one was at the, arthur lane funeral home where the body was delivered for burial and we did that in the office. it was a about a three or four-hour autopsy, reautopsy. >> what did you find was different from the county autopsy? >> we can't answer that until we see the county. my impression having done this some 50 years or so, is that
8:13 am
they're going to be very similar. >> what do you expect to have those in hand. >> i think they're able now. the autopsy records are available now. when it is going to be released probably up to the prosecutor. >> few more questions. >> right here. right here. >> [inaudible] and the what you said happen -- talk more about how this autopsy -- >> well the autopsy itself, consistent with police or, or, witnesses. there are many different witness testimonies. many of them seem to line up in one direction, some in another direction. until we get more information from forensic science point of view, can't distinguish, can't make a definite judgment. this is, now the lawyers who have interviewed witnesses, we haven't interviewed.
8:14 am
we don't interview witnesses, may be impressed with some witnesses who have seen more more trustworthy than others. as the police are doing too. this is what juries are supposed to do. they are supposed to look at witnesses, supposed to tell the truth and who -- they have more information than we have. right now from the science point of view we can't determine which witness and there are all different kinds of observations made, is most consistent with all of the forensic findings. >> dr. baden -- >> mr. green. >> doctor, you mentioned transparency. you mentioned scientific information and standards. was there any investigative reason, any scientific reason why, this information could not have been released after day
8:15 am
one? [inaudible]. >> this is a judgment based on, this is one of the things that the family was concerned about. even though in an autopsy is done, when any autopsy ask done you guys go to, 95% of the information is available right away which may be of value but don't determine the cause of death. whether or not a decedent has cocaine on board? might be of value why it is, it isn't happened, but nothing to do with the cause of death? so i think that, my impression is that,. the prosecutor says that will interview with our investigation
8:16 am
and, then, medical examiner is, hold up, families may not know for weeks and months, the kind of questions we're talking about. two more. >> two more. >>-wounds occurred? >> i don't think we can, we can not speculate, forsenically that is impossible. however, dr. baden, i do feel, because of the two gunshot wound to the head, indicating that mr. brown, bending over, that those two shots most likely the last two to occur to him. >> that is as far as we can go. toxicology. toxicology, results, have to be done by medical examiner, at first autopsy. they get the blood and everything out. second autopsy, no more blood
8:17 am
and there has been embalming fluid, et cetera. so we have to wait for the medical examiner and, it depends how quickly they're rushed. the toxicology should be able to be done in a week or two. but often times it gets on the end of the line of all the other cases that they're dealing with and may take months but that should be available, especially with your concern and the president's concern, it should be available very soon? >> we have a feeling that toxicology like other things will be released to you sooner rather than later. one of course from a non-press person and then we'll -- yes, ma'am. >> my question, before [inaudible] i'm assuming that he could have survived am i correct. yes he could have survived
8:18 am
all, that is good. i should have mentioned something. all of these gunshot wound were survivorrable except for the one in the top of the head, that went through the brain. >> with that being said, and all of us here know what happened to michael why has the mr., the officer wilson, not been arrested? [applause] >> who gets arrested is a political district attorney decision and it is not a forensic science decision for good or for bad. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> [inaudible] >> he was not -- prosecutor locally was, charging was that have to do before the federal government? >> the family would rather, they
8:19 am
have stated all along, that this whole process be independently of local law enforcement authorities. because they are concerned that killer of their child won't be held accountable and they won't get equal justice. thank you. >> dr. baden, can you talk about -- [inaudible] >> no. yes? that's correct. that position, because the gun can also be moved in many directions, so we can only tell that, the direction going in, but we, that direction to be up or, kneeling or down, and that depends on other factors which the lawyers know more than we know. >> [inaudible] >> yes. >> you want to point out what the last shot is? >> yes. this is the last shot and this is the only shot that is not, is
8:20 am
not treatable. >> [inaudible]. >> well, it, went in the top and went slightly to the front of, from the middle of the brain to sort of the right side of the brain. >> stayed in. >> stayed in and was recovered at -- >> slightly forward. >> slightly forward. >> thank y'all. >> [inaudible] >> only if he is, if he was double jointed and could -- more likely consistent with -- >> kneeling or bending forward. >> [inaudible] >> as attorney parks said -- no. no more questions. let's go. no more questions. we'll answer your questions. >> thank you all. >> we have just heard from representatives of the family of
8:21 am
michael brown as well as forensic pathologist dr. michael baden in st. louis, missouri, they were speaking about the results of a private autopsy they say showed the teen was shot six times. welcome back to "happening now." i'm patti ann browne in for jenna lee. >> i'm ed henry for jon scott. as we know, six bullets struck struck the body of michael brown. dr. baden say two bullets may have reentered victim's of the bottom line from this news conference, dr. baden say again and again these initial results are inconclusive. he still wants to see x-rays. he wants to see the clothing of michael brown to see if that will give him more idea what really happened and wants to see the toxicology reports from the first autopsy. this was the second autopsy. he wants to see those results to see whether there was anything else in michael brown's body. bottom line more than a week after michael brown was killed there's a lot of unanswered questions, patti ann. >> yeah.
8:22 am
dr. baden much more cautious during this press conference than in earlier interviews today in which he seemed to indicate that these alleged eyewitnesses who say that brown was shot in the back while running away, that that was not consistent with what he found. in the press conference, you know he was asked about that point and he said it seemed unlikely but his assistant, sean parcels did say is possible maybe there was a turn and, dr. baden said he could have been maybe running backwards. really leaving a lot more questions than answers and saying a lot more -- >> our own mike tobin, asked a question, i heard him on that very point you're making about whether or not the evidence backs up the testimony, the witness testimony that michael brown was surrendering to police. i see we have mike tobin. he just scrambled from the news conference. i will let you pick it up from there. sound like dr. baud din saying based on answer to your question they just don't know whether he
8:23 am
was surrendering to police or charging towards the police? >> reporter: you do have a hodgepodge of witness accounts. some of the witness accounts say that michael brown was on his knees with his hands in the air. you have a witness account circling around internet saying that michael brown doubled back and was rushing police officers at time he was shot. what you got very clearly from dr. michael baud din when you look -- baden, when you look at entry wounds of bullets you can not rule out possibility of michael brown with his head lowered was rushing at police officers at time he was shot. another question was toxicology. we didn't get answer to that one. only county medical examiner will have those tests. that stuff will not be released to us, probably until we learn more from the grand jury. the grand jury process is supposed to be getting underway right now. >> mike, tell us a little bit and get us up-to-date, we're obviously still trying to digest
8:24 am
this news conference but a lot happened on the ground in ferguson overnight including the governor calling in the national guard to deal with the violence. there is report from buzzfeed that the white house was caught off-guard with that. we see dramatic images play out and we'll let them play out as you report, mike, the white house apparently didn't even know the national guard was being called. get us up to speed what happened, very dramatic overnight. >> it was very dramatic overnight. ones again it was in response to aggravating factors. molotov cocktails. gunfire. demonstrators making barricades they thought could stop police coming through. i thought it was very interesting the choice of words governor nixon used in his release, talking about the call-up of national guard. he said this is organized and growing number of individuals who have inserted themselves into the process and who are turning what would otherwise be a peaceful demonstration into nightly clashes. keep in mind we only made it
8:25 am
through one night since the shooting which there were not vie len clashes out in the streets. these scenes that people in ferguson desperately don't want to see play out almost every night, guys. >> mike tobin, working around the clock. we'll check back in with you as news warrants. thanks, mike. >> in other news, a defiant texas governor rick perry dismission felony indictments against him as politically motivated. governor perry faces two felony counts of abuse of you power over use of the veto. casey stiegel live in dallas with that story. hi, casey. >> reporter: patti ann, good to see you. we understand that governor perry could turn himself in as early as today. as a formality he has to be booked, meaning his mug shot would be taken and his fingerprints would be taken but the governor would not spend anytime behind bars as of right now. at the center of all of this, let's bring you up to speed how we got here. it all surrounds texas district attorney rosemary lehmberg.
8:26 am
last year she was arrested for drunk driving. show you video of her in jail that night. pretty wild. her blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit. arresting officers found open bottle of vodka in her car. when taken from jail, this video shows her combative and she had to be retrained. many in the community including governor perry called for her resignation. remember, she has yet to step down. because of that, perry vowed to veto millions of dollars in funding to a program that her office oversees, which he did. >> i had lost confidence in her. the public had lost confidence in her. around i did what every governor has done for decades which is make a decision on whether or not it was in the proper use of state money to go to that agency and i vetoed it.
8:27 am
>> reporter: with that, critics say perry abused his power. the texas democratic party called for the governor to resign once the felony indictments were handed down on friday. others say it wasn't the actual veto process that broke the law here. listen. >> it was about the intimidation before the veto. it was about him using the veto as a coercion tactic to get her to do something she didn't want to do, which was quit her job. >> but some democrats are also coming to governor perry's defense. former white hughes advisor david axelrod came out that he thought the indictment was quote, sketchy. so it will be interesting to see as the governor is expected to turn himself in at some point. others are saying there are awful lot of holes in this case and that it won't really stand. we'll have to wait and see, patti ann. >> casey stiegel live in dallas, thanks. >> governor perry, who may be a 2016 presidential candidate appears undeterred by the
8:28 am
indictments. he will press on to trips in key presidential primary states. three trips in two weeks. joining me, bret baier anchor of "special report" here on fox news channel. interesting, bret, conventional wisdom of some, that he was getting band back together after failed presidential run last time, that this will stop his momentum. you could make counter argument and fire up those on the right and make governor perry a hero? >> i think the latter argument there is what governor perry and his people are looking at. and they think it could potentially stir the conservative base, especially if this indictment falls apart. casey mentioned, david axelrod saying that the indictment look as bit sketchy unless perry was trying to totally disband the ethics unit there under that prosecutor. the fact that you have alan dershowitz and david axelrod and others in texas saying they
8:29 am
don't see the full issue here because the governor has the authority under the veto, under the line-item veto in texas to do what he did. so perry and his supporters say this could really help him in conservative circles ahead of 2016. >> bret, beyond this case. obviously there were we'll known stumbles for governor perry last time around. size him up given the field as we know it on the republican side frostiest 2016. >> listen, you point out he is heading to new hampshire. he has been to iowa. clearly he has his eyes set as rehabilitation for a tough run in 2012 but conservatives look how he handled the border issue, cop fronting the president in that meeting. how he sent national guard to the border. that is attractive thing. he has a governor for almost 14 years there in texas. seen as a powerful force. whether he is leading the pack in the gop hopefuls we don't know but he polls pretty well in
8:30 am
the early polling. as you know we have a long wray to go before then. >> before then we have to deal with the midterms. you mentioned the border crisis. immigration a major issue in the midterms. we see president obama cutting short his vacation at least a day or two to come back to the white house. among issues he may be grappling is immigration. a story by "politico" today, a story about the white house reaching out to different political groups, and how white house may issue more executive orders on immigration than we thought. the effort to another sign that suggests that the white house fear as backlash in november particularly among independent voters in senate races where republicans are seizing on the issue. of the conventional wisdom at the beginning of this election season had been republicans are on defense. house speaker boehner doesn't want to do comprehensive reform. is that turning around and will executive actions by the president potentially blow up in his face. >> yeah. as you know, ed, this is a very
8:31 am
hot button topic. and especially in these red states where democrats are defending seats in louisiana, in arkansas, in alaska. places that this does not poll well for those democrats, if the president takes sweeping executive action, especially with, as the "politico" article points out, with independents. so perhaps this outreach to business leaders is to shore up that flank. it is not clear, and the article goes on to say that the speculation now may be that more broad executive actions could happen after november and that some scaled back action on immigration could happen in september. it is apparently that something is going to happen but i think there is sensitivity about especially those red state democrats. >> bret baier. a lot to cover tonight on "special report," 6:00 p.m. eastern. we'll be watching. >> see ya. >> more chaos in ferguson, missouri over the shooting death of an unarmedded teenager and
8:32 am
8:33 am
8:35 am
8:36 am
ground in ferguson, missouri but the story first gained traction on social media. ferguson quickly filled twitter feeds with tear gas and protestors. joining me now are jim pinkerington and alan colmes, host of the alan colmes radio show. what do you make of eric holder's justice department being all over the case, now ordering a third autopsy? we saw the reports over the weekend that eric holder and the justice department did not want this video that allegedly shows michael brown stealing cigars. they didn't want that put out there. what do you make? what's really going on here? >> i think it's an astonishing politicalization unlike anything we've seen since the 1960's where the justice department is against the police, don't want to see anything that excapultates the strong armed video that looks a lot like michael brown.
8:37 am
congress ought to be holding in holder to testify, how this coverup occurred. >> was the justice department afraid that the video might undercut the video out there? >> absolutely. the facts they bungled it so much, the fact that the local police bungled it and released the robbery videos and then is he same time we find out that the officer that shot him didn't even know that there was a robbery that took place, clearly somebody else had to step in to create calm and peace. it wasn't happening on the local level. >> what about the governor in all of this? governor orders the national guard in overnight. the white house didn't even know that the national guard was going in. >> i think governor nixon is in a position that remind me a lot of former governor brown of california in the 1960's during the riots. he didn't know what to do, either, and he got beat the next year. listen. i think the videotape that was released and also the thing that the news had the other day about how the eyewitnesss said that
8:38 am
brown was charging the cops undercuts what the media was really looking for all along, another rodney king video. back in 1991, the media kept showing 20 seconds of a nine minute video and saying, see? police brutality and they got a riot out of it and they were happy and all sorts of coverage and specials and so on. now in a new world of new media, including youtube and so on, you can see for yourself what's going on and make your own conclusions about whether michael brown was a hoodlum or a saint. >> we are looking at the new media and there is a digital heed a and thankfully people are tweeting from the ground and they're make a decision and the decision people are making, they are bungling it locally, that one thing had nothing to do with the other and that's the conclusion people are making as a result of the social media that's giving us details. >> no doubt that msnbc are trying to ride this as far as they can. they're soaking up the trouble, giving coverage to people coming
8:39 am
in just to stir up trouble. but however, i think the bulk of people in missouri are going to wind up buying guns. >> when you have police actually threatening chris hayes of nbc, when you have three more reporters being threatened by the police, that's part of the story. >> you're right. that social media is putting a lens on the police but also putting a lens on the protestors. >> that's correct. >> not all are peaceful. >> that's correct. >> they're looting stores and perpetuating violence. >> i condemn that as most people of rational thought should but there's a way to understand the conflicts in which it happens because of the way they bungled this and nixon has a history. he voted to desegregate the schools or tried to have that happen back in the early 1990's. >> when you see the news conference where the information is basically inconclusive more than a week after this young man was killed, now, whatever you think about the case, whatever noise is out there but going back and forth on this, even if he stole the cigars, even if
8:40 am
that happened, he's 18 years old, doesn't seem like he deserves six bullets for stealing something. >> and you cover the white house most of the time. ask a secret service agent what would happen if an individual who is 6' 4", 290 pounds went charging anywhere near the direction of the president. i suspect they would put a lot more than six bullets in there. >> we're not sure he was charging. >> we're not. that remains to be seen but eyewitnesss said he was charging. autopsies are inconclusive. eric holder will call for a third autopsy and the fourth and the 10th until he gets the results he wants. >> you're saying there's a conclusion on the part of the justice department. we don't have a conclusion on this nor does he deserve six bullets because of what happened and the attempt to show the robbery video as if that somehow justifies what the police did is an outrage. it's outrageous. >> we'll know more after the drug tests. if he was high on a drug, we know that's entirely possible
8:41 am
that you can take more than six bull and it's keep charging. >> good to see you both. >> a horrific scene at a popular barbecue restaurant. a woman nearly poisoned to death after drinking tea mixed with a toxic chemical. next we'll tell you how it happened and how she's doing today. and a teen is in serious trouble over an online hoax. police say he threatened to open fire at his high school. we'll have details. >> the threats that were made are very concerning. but as a parent, my concerns are for my children and their safety at school.
8:44 am
>> and let's find out what's ahead on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. andrea? sandra? what have you got? >> representatives of michael brown's family speaking out about new autopsy results that show the unarmed teen was shot at least six times. this just one day after we saw what could be the worst violence in the missouri town rocked by racial unrest. >> plus the pulitzer prize winning reporter has choice
8:45 am
words for president obama. why he's calling the president, quote, the greatest enemy to press freedom in a generation. >> and big changes to gym classes in one school district. children have to wear heart rate monitors to make sure they're not slacking off. is the nanny state at it again? >> all that plus our hashtag one lucky guy on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. >> thanks, gals. >> right now some stories we're following that are happening this hour on "happening now." a san francisco 49ers fan dies after suffering a heart attack during the preseason home opener against the denver broncos. the man collapsed during the third quarter as temperatures in the stadium shot up to 80 degrees and flooding in northern texas. intense storms rolled through the area leaving thousands without power. several people had to be rescued from the rising water but there were no reports of serious injuries. and the death toll rising after three days of flooding and non
8:46 am
stop rain in nepal and nearby northern india. more than 180 people have been killed. emergency crews say flooded out roads and streets are making it difficult for them to reach thousands who remain cut off by rising waters. >> a stunning story out of california. a 15-year-old is now under arrest after several online posts threatening to carry out a shooting at his high school. william is live in los angeles with more on that. hi, william. >> patty anne, it took 12 hours after he posted pictures on instagram until a dozen deputies showed up at his parents' home and booked him into jail for making this threat. quote, to the people who live in the santa clarita valley area, there will be a huge shooting soon and a lot of you are going to die. we are aiming our guns mostly at high school students. blood will be shed and families
8:47 am
will suffer. >> devastated. it was unbelievable. i think the threats that were made are very concerning. >> many of the posts that were made contained hateful type messages, racist, sexist, threats to students and that's what immediately, you know, got the detectives involved. >> police did not find any weapons. the family doesn't own any. the boy told police it was a prank. etches just trying to get a reaction from friends regarding the competing high school. right now he's being held in juvenile hall and charges of making a violent threat to kill or physically harm. if that's charged as a felony, he faces four years in prison. pled down to a misdemeanor, one year in county jail. he'll probably get probation but it underscores the evolving nature of behavior online and how it is treated by law enforcement. back to you. >> in this day and age, you can't mess with it. thanks. >> a death defying mission, 200
