7:34 am
and legs are shackles and the van driver is making it a rough ride you are banging against the walls in the van, and although forensic pathologist says that is not enough to sever your spine. your spinal collies covered by bone. doctor mike will tell but that. it is hard to sever that spine. >> did they place him face down. >> that is what they said. >> if you slam on the breaks don't you go headfirst in the in metal wall. >> i guess if you jammed your head hard enough and fast enough speed and that compresses your spine. they tell us that is enough to sever the spine, i don't know. >> also the the matter of arrest. they failed to establish a probable cause for doing that. >> well, yeah, you mean originally when they got him. >> well, you are absolutely right about that. the the police officers were doing bike patrol and riding around and freddie gray, came around and made eye contact.
7:35 am
freddie gray then started to run. police chased him. there was no probable cause. constitutionally if i see a policeman i can start running. that doesn't mean there is probable cause to arrest me. we went and arrested him and there was no probable cause. the prosecutor you are right has said there is no probable cause to arrest freddie gray, therefore, they are calling that false imprisonment. >> how do you prove any of this surveillance cameras. >> i don't think there are surveillance cameras. interesting, there was a surveillance camera in there, and it didn't work. there was a surveillance camera in the van but it didn't work at the time it wasn't working and in surveillance cameras when at rest happened. surveillance camera occurs after he is already shackled. >> it would be in the medical examiner's report. >> a lot of the expert testimony. what you just said i haven't really heard, he is face down, he is going fast and he moves forward and he crashes, into the metal part of the van
7:36 am
and that severs his spine. you could be a forensic pennsylvania atheologies mike. >> wouldn't it still be hard. >> i think it is very hard. preliminary hearing may 27th to see whether there is probable cause. after that there will be trial. it will be a very interesting trial. expert testimony will play a big part in this trial. >> we will talk bit for a long time. >> we will protest until the verdict. verdict won't be until next year. >> it the depend on how fast trial goes and the police officers and how fast process goes but we are not talking about anything real quickly. thanks, ken. with all of these negative stories about police we want to focus on how local officers are making positive impact on our communities. how camden county police department is helping tea crease, violent crime. maybe they should be listening to baltimore. thinking about going with flowers for moth dares lets get to jen and show us how to make a unique arrangement. >> that is good. >> we will talk about that in
