wcome welcome to cbs "this morning." gayle king son assignment. jeff glor of our digital network joins us. new and disturbing allegations of misconduct this morning in the secret service. a senior supervisor is on leave accused of assault. a female enemployee says her boss made unwanted sexual advances after a party last week. >> the alesanother blow. bill plante at the white house. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the agent in question one of the first officials director clancy promoted when he took control of the department in october. new leadership was supposed to clean up the secret service but these allegations only add to the considerable troubles of an agency plagued by charges of misconduct. javiar morales, a senior in the secret service.

according to a report by "the washington post," the female employee says morales tried to kiss her and grabbed her arms when she resisted. adding that the two scuffled before morales finally relented. in a statement, secret service director joseph clancy called the allegations disturbing saying, any threats or violence that endanger our employees in the workplace are unacceptable and not tolerated. this incident is the latest embarrassment for the service. last month two senior agents allegedly intoxicated drove an agency car into an active bomb threat investigation outside the white house. >> over the past several months i've made extensive personnel changes in senior leadership in an effort to bring about positive change. >> reporter: during a series of appearances before congress last month, director clancy told lawmakers changing the culture of the secret service wouldn't happen overnight. >> this is a new look we're trying to reinvigorate the look of the secret service. and unfortunately, i can't -- i don't have a magic wand.

>> reporter: morales has been put on leave and has had his security clearance suspended. the investigation has been turned over to the inspector general at the department of homeland security, who is also looking into four other cases. >> bill plante thank you very much. this morning prosecutors have a guilty verdict in the boston marathon bombing trial. it took jurors less than two days to convict dzhokhar tsarnaev on 30 federal counts. that same jury will determine if tsarnaev should face the death penalty. in boston with emotional reaction to yesterday's verdict. good morning. >> reporter: really did. good morning, jeff yeah those verdicts sparked a lot of emotion among the people whose lives were so changed by this terrorist attack but there seems to be a consistent theme among them regardless whether dzhokhar tsarnaev gets life or death, closure is complicated. >> innocent lives that were watching a marathon run a race. >> reporter: rebecca gregory, a

spectator that day when two pressure cooker bombs exploded ripping apart her left leg. she cried uncontrollably as the verdict was read on television. >> i don't believe that there will ever be justice brought to this, no matter if he does get the death penalty or he remains in prison for the rest of his life. i do believe, however that he should be held accountable for his actions, and i'm very thankful for each of the jury members that are making him do that. >> reporter: karen basard also injured at the finish line and in the courtroom for the verdict pr for her, there will never be closure. >> it's not something you'll ever be over. you know? you'll feel it forever. it will always be something that brings it back to the forefront. >> reporter: others have hope. jeff boemauman lost both legs posted on his facebook account, today's verdict will never

replace the lives lost and so dramatically changed but it is a relief and one step closer to closure. now the debate is whether tsarnaev should live or die. catholic church leaders in massachusetts released a statement on monday against putting tsarnaev to death, saying, the defendant in this case has been neutralized and will never again have the ability to cause harm. wednesday's addition of the "boston globe" featured an op-ed entitled spare dzhokhar tsarnaev the death penalty saying even supporters of the death penalty should have some qualming about putting dzhokhar tsarnaev to death. family members face conflict. liz norden, whose two sons each lost a leg in the attack knows what she wants. >> oh, i personally say justice to for me the death penalty. >> reporter: rebecca gregory isn't so shore. >> whether or not i'm for or against the death penalty i really don't feel like it's my judgment call and i'm glad i don't have to make the decision. >> reporter: that decision will be made by the same 12 jurors

who convicted him, but that decision has to be unanimous. if one person votes against it dzhokhar tsarnaev will spend the rest of his life in prison. jeff? >> very good point. later we'll take a closer look at the possible death sentence with the counterterrorism chief john miller plus massachusetts senator elizabeth warren weighs in. that's ahead. and in south carolina the white police officer charged with murdering a black man is also out of a job. north charleston police fired michael slager wednesday. vicente morales is in the detection center where he is held without bail. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. officer michael slager remains in jail here but seven other officers are still being questioned. they arrived within minutes of the shooting. [ we want justice we want peace ]

>> reporter: dozens of demonstrators took to the streets in north charleston wednesday to vent frustration. >> i am tired of seeing this weekly daily. >> i'm tired, manned, i'md and angry. >> reporter: the video captured officer michael slager fatally shooting michael scott in the back after what began as a routine traffic stop. >> shots fired. subject is down. he's got my taser. >> reporter: for the first time wednesday the man who recorded the incident spoke to nbc. >> i remember the police had control of the situation. he had control of scott, and scott was trying just to get away from the taser. >> reporter: protesters shouted throughout a news conference where even the city's police chief admitted he found the incident disturbing. >> i have watched the video, and i was sickened by what i saw. >> reporter: still, authorities

couldn't answer whether anyone had performed cpr on scott as stated in the police report. >> not every officer is cpr certified. >> why? why not? >> reporter: officer slager's new attorney told cbs "this morning," as we focus in on the facts we will probably have more to say but it is far too early for us to be saying what we think. slager a coast guard veteran, had two complaints in his five years on the police force including a 2013 incident involving a taser for which he was cleared of any wrongdoing. police say dash cam video of the stop that started all this could be released later today, and the mayor is saying that he's ordered more than 27250 body cameras. enough for every officer on the force. >> vicente thank you. a newly released video shows another deadly police shooting, this time in south florida. [ gunfire ] the police dashcam shows an officer firing the shots that

killed 25-year-old lavol in february. his family suing police released the video. he had a history of mental illnesses. police say he swung a metal broom at officers and refused their commands to stop. lawyers for the family say he was running away when shot. the obama administration is making an all-out effort this morning to sell the iran nuclear deal to congress. president obama spoke with tennessee senator bob corker yesterday. the republican is sponsoring a bill that would require congressional approval of the agreement. and iran's supreme leader this morning stopped short of giving his support to the framework deal, and in remarks on this official website the ayatollah khomeini said he will wait until the terms are finalized. separately rouhani said his country would only sign the deal if sanctions are lifted on the same day and rouhani is calling for the end of saudi arabia air strikes in yemen. yesterday i asked secretary of state john kerry about the concerns over the nuclear deal. >> you know the concerns that by

lifting sanctions it means a stronger more capable iran and that, in turn mean as stronger more capable hezbollah, assad and houthi rebels in yemen. >> first of all, the sanctions were put in place to bring them to negotiations. that was the entire purpose. so now that they've negotiated and they have an agreement people can't complain and say, oh, my gosh if they comply with all the things they said they're going to do what we wanted them to do we're going to now not lift them. that doesn't work. no equation there. it simply doesn't work. secondly, they've been doing what they're doing with the sanctions in place. and they do it on the cheap. and the fact is that an iran with a nuclear weapon doing those things is far more dangerous than iran without one. >> i know you talked to him about the concerns that some of our friends in the middle east have about this deal. >> yeah. i mean you know many of these

gulf states have real concerns that iran will get billions of dollars in new oil aid and will strengthen these groups that they support that are doing these proxy wars. the big deal is the president's going to have an unprecedented summit on next month at camp david with leaders from all of the gulf states and got to do a sales job. not just the president with congress but many of these arab allies. >> nice job. >> more later. it's a dry morning throughout the west but damaging storms could hit 57 million americans. >> bad weather wednesday brought hail, high winds and tornadoes to kansas, oklahoma and missouri. the twisters caused some damage but no deaths or major injuries. big cities like chicago and detroit could be hard-hit later hoed. our meteorologist of wbz is watching the severe weather. danielle good morning. >> reporter: good morning, everybody. pretty quiet weather on the west coast today. a lot of warmth in the central part of the countries.

60 from seattle stretching back into southern california. the big story if you're doing traveling, severe weather, clusters of thunderstorms from the midwest back down to the gulf coast. through the day today, nasty line developing from chicago back down to little rock later on this evening. the biggest threat with these storms damaging wind gusts over 60 miles per hour. hail tornadoes as well. a slight risk for tornadoes in all areas shaded in orange here. tomorrow that threat shifts to the east. not as high as today, but big area, big hubs d.c., back down through raleigh and columbia down to the gulf coast as well. all of these areas will have to monitor for warnings. >> all right, danielle niles, thank you. passengers got a scare on an iceland air flight to denver tuesday after lightning hit the plane. the pilot confirmed the strike shortly after takeoff from iceland. 2 it ripped a hole in the nose of the boeing 757 but the pilot reassured passengers the plane was okay and continued the flight. the plane landed safely in

one man gives us an insider perspective on this john miller, counterterrorism for the new york city police department and also our senior former correspondent here. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> give us a sense of the context of terrorists facing the death penalty and choices that are made. >> if you look at our history, we're a little diverse on this. if you look at timothy mcveigh and oklahoma city that was a trial in denver not oklahoma city, where he was sentenced to death. on the other hand, if you look at osama bin laden's crew that blew up the embassies in east africa on his orders, they were convicted in a federal trial in new york and at the death penalty phase, the jury here spared them. part of the consideration is likely to do with did it happen far away or you know right here on u.s. soil in the city where it's being tried? that's going to be a factor in boston. the other part of it is, juries in the united states are still somewhat tentative about the death penalty. one of the things they raise in

the paper today is don't give him what he wants. that's what the lawyer argued in the closing argument. i would be less concerned with what dzhokhar tsarnaev wants. i would be concerned with what that might mean to groups like isis in al qaeda, who would use that to promote his martyrdom for the cause. >> don't let him be a martyr by putting him in prison for life? >> it's one of the things you have to consider. at the end of the day, the jury has to follow the standard of the law. >> and they've been listening to the evidence. >> you also have a jury in massachusetts which is -- i mean, there are more catholics in massachusets than any other state in the country. i think it's about 45%. and there hasn't been anyone executed in massachusetts since like -- in like 60 years. that weighs on it too, right? you have a population of people who don't hand down the death penalty. >> at the end of the day i think what they're going to act on is a legal instruction. i think you can't go into the penalty phase in a death case

and not make a somewhat emotional decision. >> as charlie and don pointed out earlier, it only takes one juror to vote didagainst and the death penalty doesn't occur. can we ask you about this video from south carolina. its graphic. it looks pretty awful. what do you make of it? >> i think the video is one of those things -- in society we have a compact, that is we ask police to go in harm's way, to get hurt killed. in return, part of the compact is when they come back with their account of what happened, we give them the benefit of doubt. i think this video will reverse the tide very quickly. there was one set of facts that emerged on paper. when the video comes out, you go from an investigation into whether a shooting was justified into what was clearly the crime of murder, which is what they charged. and then they took the additional step of firing him. i think the second issue with the video is this is going to

cast for a time -- because people are going to come back to this video when they hear a police account of things and say, what about that case? and i think that's going to cost police officers across the country. >> and the message from you to them is, every case is different? >> well every case is different. and by and large, my experience in these investigations is two things. number one, the first story is never right because there's confusion, there's different perspectiveses, so the facts will always change a little but not as dramatically as in this case. and i think that's problematic. >> what are your instructions to your officers if in fact someone is fleeing and has their back to you? >> so that is crystal clear. i also have to frame new york city in the context of this is the largest police department in the united states in terms of numbers. per capita statistically it fires its gun less than any other major city in the country. that's a rate that has declined

steadily over 20 years. it shoots less people, kills less people. it's a department of extraordinary firearms discipline. now, getting to the heart of the matter, if i was in the police academy, what they teach in new york, what they taught me in los angeles when i went through their academy was, if somebody is running away they don't pose a threat to you. now, how do you turn that around? if you're in a mall and somebody has shot 20 people and you confront them in the food court with a gun and they take a shot at you and then they turn and flee that's a different consideration because you can calculate in that that person as they get away with that rifle, is going to shoot more people and you need to shoot a fleeing felon in order to save others. this is clearly not that situation. >> what was he supposed to do run after him? >> that's what you're supposed to do. if you have a fleeing suspect. remember, we don't have a fleeing felon here, as far as we know. we have a fleeing guy with a broken taillight.

you're supposed to chase that person down and use whatever force is necessary at that point point. and there's a continuum of those things. he's tried the taser but, you know, once you chase that person down that continuum starts over again if he's unarmed. >> john miller good to see you. thank you for being here. >> good to be back. nice to see you all. >> you look very comfortable in that chair. >> you're always welcome here. >> well, save it. ep us alive ♪

after the guilty verdict of boston marathon bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev. >> deliberations on sentencing could begin as early as monday. the same jury will decide if tsarnaev should face the death penalty or spend life in prison. >> senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts is with us now. she wrote a book on her life and key politics. "a fighting chance" is just out in paperback. good morning and welcome back. >> good to be here. >> your thoughts about the conviction in massachusetts and a healing for the people of massachusetts. >> you know nothing is ever going to make those who were injured whole. and it's been a terrible thing, the marathon bombing. but this is a step toward justice. and now we go to the penalty phase. no one had much doubt about the first part, and that is the guilt. this is all now going to be about what the consequences will be. >> do you think he should get the death penalty? >> you know my heart goes out to the families here but i don't support the death penalty.

i think that he should spend his life in jail. no possibility of parole. he should die in prison. but that's how i see it. it will be up to the jury. >> it was interesting that john miller was here earlier, who's head of the nypd saying that what happens to dzhokhar tsarnaev may be interpreted by terrorists around the world whether he gets the death penalty or whether he's allowed to live stay in prison. >> subjectggesting if he gets the death penalty, it will make him more of a martyr. >> that's the reminder. the alternative to the death penalty is not turning this guy free. the point is he stays in prison he dies in prison he's put away. he's not a danger to anyone else. and he's not a part of an ongoing story. he's not someone who tries to then or is able to keep sucking up a lot of energy and a lot of attention. the families need their chance to heal, to move on beyond this. i think that's what really matters most. >> indeed. let's turn to politics now.

in the democratic party, hillary clinton could announce any day now that she is going to seek the presidential nomination for 2016. do you think she's the future of the democratic party? >> well i think we have to see first of all if she declares and what she says she wants to run on. i think that's really the interesting question. >> you know her. i mean you know her and you know her positions on most issues. does she represent the democratic party that you believe the democratic party ought to be? >> i don't think the democratic party is a static thing. the democratic party grows. the democratic party is full of energy right now. the democratic party is very much about drawing contrasts, frankly, with the republican party. i'll give you a very specific example of that. right now the united states government makes billions of dollars in profits off the backs of kids who are trying to get an education through student loans,

and the democrats, 100% of us have lined up to say in the united states senate the interest rate on student loans should be reduced. that would save a lot of people hundreds of dollars a year some thousands of dollars a year. the republicans have lined up on the other side and said no it is more important to protect tax loopholes for millionaires and billionaires than it is to give our kids a break. so it's that kind of issue that i think really divides us and really gives us a sense of the energy of the new democratic party. >> but if someone doesn't challenge hillary clinton in a primary, do you think that debate will happen? do you think there needs to be a vigorous debate within the democratic party? >> look i think there needs to be a vigorous debate in the whole question about running for president. i think everyone who's running for president should be talking about what they plan to do to strengthen and rebuild america's middle class. let's be clear. this has been my lifetime's

work and i have watched year by year by year where america's middle class just has to take one punch after another. we've reached a point. this isn't going to work anymore. i talk about this a lot in my book, about what it means to fight back how i fought back personally but also the kinds of fights we need to have. >> you also talk about how the minimum wage meant everything to your mother at a time in which she needed that to survive. >> and that really is the key point. my dad had a heart attack. we lost our family car. we nearly lost the house. my mother got a minimum-wage job at a time when a minimum-wage job would support a family of three, kept us above water. today that won't happen. and that's because -- >> the minimum wage should be what, $15? >> it should certainly be higher than it is. >> it's hard to get you to be more specific. you talk about the democratic party is a fluid thing and going

here and there and always changing. >> oh i'm sorry, what's not specific about let's reduce the interest on student loans? >> i know. you've been saying that in a lot of different places. that's a very specific position. >> and i have supported our efforts to try to get the minimum wage -- >> you say, well -- >> i have supported it at 10.10. i would support it at a higher number. i'm perfectly willing to sit down and negotiate with those who are willing to reason. >> what we're trying to understand is you represent -- you really have become the voice of a wing of the democratic party and maybe all of the party. what we want to know is where does elizabeth warren want to see this party go in terms of minimum wage in terms of income inequality, in terms of a whole range of things? >> i'm ready. >> you're ready to tell them where you are. >> you bet. >> ready to run? >> and where you differ from former secretary of state clinton. why can't you tell us that? why isn't that interest in the interest of a full debate about the future of the country, the future of the democratic party, and who the nominee ought to be.

>> charlie, i'll tell you where i stand on all of the key issues. it's up to others to say whether they stand there as well or they stand in some different place. i'll tell you where i stand on minimum wage. i'll tell you where i stand on equal pay for equal work. >> name me one thing that you would like to see hillary clinton do and say and commit to that she has not committed to. >> well i'd like to see her address all of these issues. you know we have a big debate going on right now on trade within the democratic party. i have real concerns about something called the investor state dispute resolution that basically would permit multinational companies to sue other countries when they try to put regulations in place to protect their own workers, to protect their own citizens. i think this is a really dangerous provision. >> does that put you on the opposite side from the president? >> it certainly does.

it certainly does. >> the hill says elizabeth warren plays ted cruz role with house democrats. that's an interesting comparison, to say the very least. do you see that as your role to play, sort of ted cruz-esque role on the other side with democrats? >> you know look my job is to stand up for what i believe in to talk about it as clearly as i can. but i want to be 100% clear on this. i will work with anyone. democrat republican independent, libertarian, vegetarian, who will work on the issues. >> humanitarian. >> humanitarian. give me some more here. >> kruzcruzatarian. >> republicans. >> republicans were the first. who will work to try to strengthen america's families again. i think this is the number one issue facing this country. >> you know what everybody does. interesting thing about this

campaign, it ought to be about that debate. because everyone understands that's something that's happened to middle class in america and we need to find the best ideas to change that. >> about working together. how people can work together. >> yeah. >> senator elizabeth warren always good to have you here. thank you very much. >> thank you. good to be here. all right. now there's this question. is being short hazardous to your health? dr. karen is in our toyota green room. she explains how for height is

in our morning round, a concern over your height and heart. linking shorter stature to a greater risk of coronary artery disease. our expert tara narula, good morning. >> good morning. >> you're giving short people a complex this morning. >> you're 5'3" by the way. >> i am. i'm doomed. we've known about a link between height and health since the '50s. we didn't know if there were external factors. so what researchers did is they went to the dna and tried to did a genetic test. they looked at 200,000 individuals with heart disease and without, and looked at specific areas in their genetic code that influence height and then tried to see if there was an association with coronary artery disease. what they found is for each 2 1/2 inches that you were shorter, you have a 13.5% increased risk of coronary artery disease. so, if you are 5 foot you were 30% higher chance of getting coronary artery disease than someone who is 5'6".

>> if you're shorter you're more likely to be overweight and that's why you're more likely? >> they looked at 12 risk factors like blood pressure and weight and diabetes to see, is it that that's causing it? they found of all the risk factor only ldl and triglis rides had an association but only that could explain 30% of what they saw. >> what does that mean? >> there's a lot of other hypotheticals about what might going on. 23 you're shorter you have shorter diameter arteries. what the researchers propose is there are shared buy logic pathways. the same pathways that produce increased bone and muscle growth through hormones and proceed teens might also be causing increase cell growth in artery walls or inflammation. the third possible theory is maybe taller people somehow live healthier exercises. they exercise more, smoke less. >> the same for men and women?

>> in this study we only saw the association for men. previous research shows the same association exists for women. it may be in this study less women were looked at so we couldn't defect a difference. >> any downside to being tall? >> research in the past has unfortunately shown taller people may be at higher risk of cancer. they have more cells in the body, so if you're taller higher risk of cancer. shorter, higher risk of heart disease. >> who's happier short or tall? >> i think everybody's happy, or should be. >> at least sitting at this table. >> you have to love your body either way, short or tall. >> that's right. you're born at whatever -- >> you can't control that. the bottom line is, we're not going to tell somebody when you come into our office you're 5.2", you take a statin. you're 5'6" you don't. >> norah lifts what's before the show. i think that may be the key. >> anger management.

and we're going to see, you know, if he's able to hold up with his game which he feels is in a very good place. of course, he's had these lingering back issues and marching up and down the hills of augusta and what it takes to play physically in a major championship, it's different than playing practice rounds, but a lot of people are excited. tiger appears to be in a very good place right now. >> jim it's so good to see you there. i'm jealous. >> it's quite a place. >> let's talk about rory mcilroy, the number one player in the world, chasing his first masters. >> well the big story really i think, of all. i know a lot of people are focusing on tiger being here but tiger has not won a major championship since 2008. that doesn't mean he won't win another one. maybe even this week. the hottest player in the game in recent years, indisputable, has been rory mcilroy. he's trying to become just the sixth player in history to win what we consider now to be the modern grand slam events.
