let me bring in cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney mark o'mara. mark, how would you defend these cops if you were asked to do so? >> well, with the premise that it's like planning a surgery when you don't have the blood tests or the x-rays. one thing we're going to look at is to say that these cops were simply doing their job, may not have done it very well, but they were doing their job. and as you mentioned a moment ago, what they're being charged with is not doing something. that's a much more difficult standard for the prosecutor to present. now, i think she was very aggressive in how quickly she did this and also the charges she filed, particularly the one against the driver. i think that she has shown us one or two of her deck of cards but there's got to be some information in there that tells us or will tell us more about the driving pattern. because to separate him out from the rest of the group and their negligent behavior by not providing care, not doing what they should have as caregivers, the driver stands alone with this most serious c

mark o'mara, what else from your perspective? what else are you looking at looking for as we move ahead? by the way, we're looking at live pictures of people honking and celebrating in the baltimore city streets. but this is by no means over. this is just the beginning of this whole process, correct? >> well look and we've talked about this many times before. if nothing else this is an example, a profile that we have systemic problems. if six officers acted in concert or in ignorance of one person's civil rights the way it happened here we have to acknowledge they're undertrained probably underpaid, and it we're going to hold cops responsible to be professionals, as we should and as we should expect we're going to have to understand that we have to train them better. we're going to have to pay them better. every one of them has to have a cop camera on. there should be a camera in every one of those vans not just in baltimore and not just in ferguson but everywhere. because now we know thank god, to video that we're going to see m

the family has hired attorney mark o'mara, a cnn legal analyst who once represented george zimmermanth of florida teen trayvon martin. >> we don't know what it said. >> reporter: according to authorities, several video cameras captured the struggle in the booking area but that video, like much of the investigation, remains under wraps in the hands of the d.a. which, in a statement, told cnn, the district attorney is currently reviewing the file, a spokesman said, and would not elaborate on what was within the file or a time line on when, if a decision to file charges would be made. meanwhile, his supporters delivered a letter to the chatham county attorney demanding documents and videos from the case, calling for transparency. as for the alleged jekyll and hyde personality, his family says he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder three years ago and he was having a medical emergency at the time of his arrest. his girlfriend says she told that to police and asked that he be taken to the hospital. instead, he was taken to jail. his family says that made all the difference between life an

i will thank lisa bloom and cedric alexander and mark o'mara and turn you over as well now. wolf blitzer starts right now. >>> hello, i'm wolf blitzer reporting from washington and welcome our viewers from the united states and around the world. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> and let's begin with the breaking news. six baltimore police officers facing criminal charges in the death of freddie gray. in an extraordinary news conference just a little while ago, the prosecutor said the medical examiner had determined that gray's death was a homicide resulted from a fatal injury he suffered inside the police van. baltimore state attorney marilyn mosby said officers failed to get medical help for gray and says they had no probable cause to arrest him in the first place. the six officers face charges ranging from second degree depraved heart murder to manslaughter and second degree assault. mosby urged -- >> i hope we move forward with this case everyone will respect due process and refrain from doing anything that will jeopardize our ability to seek justice. to the people of balt

. >> and back with us sunny hostin who is friends with the mayor in baltimore and joining us mark o'marahe trayvon martin case. and you listen to her history and she comes from a long line of police officers and i can't help but be reminded of mccollock who came from a long line of policemen and this time is the prosecutor like mike brown calling for a special prosecutor. >> that is true. i think mccollock had a different relationship with the community. he was known or people felt in the community he was unfairly slanted toward law enforcement and had a history of backing police officers and not charging them. i think in this instant, marilyn mosby's lack of experience quite frankly, is helpful to her in terms of the perception of the community because they feel although she has this law enforcement background they can trust her. she's doesn't have that kind of track record so while i see people -- >> you're talking about the african-american community but in the police community what we're hearing is that because of her husband's connections with -- with the neighborhood -- the freddie
