the blood sample from the independent lab had been drawn from price while he was in custody at the galveston county jail. a technician went into the prison, checked his identification, took his blood, then wrote the inmate's name on the vial containing his blood >> when samples are taken, there is a fingerprint that goes with the vial of the sample of blood. the individual who gave this blood obviously put their fingerprint on this vial. >> so prison officials compared the print on chad price's blood vial to chad price's fingerprint. >> the expert said that's not chad price's fingerprint on the vial. great. the next step. whose fingerprint is it? >> the unknown print was run through afis, or the automatic fingerprint identification system and there was a hit. the print belonged to 36-year-old derek perry. >> derek perry was another inmate being detained on or held in the galveston county jail on unrelated charges. he was in the same pod as chad price and in each pod, there must be 50 or 60 inmates. two jailhouse informants told prison officials how they -- how chad price switched the dna sam

i originally heard that the tanker was headed to brazil originally, and here it is in galveston. is traded that way, but this one, there are reasons to keep it's ownership and destination secret, or at least unclear. >> let's talk about this. there's a certain amount of oil that's produced in the kurdish region, and these guys have done a better job in some cases than the iraqi military at fighting off the isil troops, and if they can start finding a buyer for this oil, they can possibly getting their own country. >> that's right, they have a lot of the ingredients of an independent state now. the state that's the most for secure, and the best functioning part of iraq is this kurdish region, i've been there many times myself and it does work. missing piece of that puzzle is an economic lifeline. they have managed to get some big international oil companies to invest and there's a certain confidence in their ability to honor contracts and what not, but to get that oil out and develop buyers has been the piece of their independence puzzle really. >> and for the moment, iraq is not

there's a tanker full of crude oil sitting off the coast of texas near the port of galveston. these photos shot by the coast guard before an inspection conducted over the weekend, the ship hoping to unload oil in coming days to an unknown buyer in the united states. however, the oil in that tanker comes from kurdistan. they are desperate to sell their own oil so they're not dependent on baghdad but baghdad says what kurds are doing is illegal and violates the country's constitution. they hired to american lawmakers to fight the sales. in a letter obtained by cnbc, all shipping companies in the houston/galveston area that could help the kurds unload this oil have been told they will be in possession of stolen property and if they do pick it up, it should be delivered to custody of the lawyers and not to the original buyer. there's a lot of international focus on the sunni insurgency in the western part of iraq, northwestern part of iraq. many observers believe the greater threat to the breakup of iraq is the kurds and their long desire to be independent. if they can successfull

in march, just this past march, 168,000 gallons of crude oil leaked into galveston bay, texas. wildlife and local fishing industry, well, it took a major hit. the list i'm giving you just scratches the surface of what unfolded. of course lets not forget the time 210 million gallons of oil leaked into the gulf of mexico over the course of 87 days. politicians, i'll tell you what, they seem to have amnesia when it comes to this story. there is no talk of the deepwater horizon oil spill in washington, d.c., because they have been watching bp commercials. we're open for business. everything is good. we cleaned it up. it's fixed. yeah, right. now, lets take a look at the consequences of oil consumption. we are literally trashing our planet. noaa reports, anybody going to pay attention to this, noaa reports this june was the warmest june on record since we've been keeping records back to 1880. the month of may this year 2014 was the hottest on record. these warm temperatures are causing record drought in california. residents there have been forced to cut down on water consumption. n

he is the namesake of galveston, texas.nough recognition, but now, 227 years after he passed, a resolution has passed the house judiciary committee to grant him honorary citizenship for his role in helping america during the revolutionary war. now, this is sort of funny because republican congressman eric cantor just killed a bill that would actually do the same thing for immigrants that are serving our country right now. do you remember that? it wasn't even two months ago members of congress wanted to attach the enlist act to the national defense act to the national defense act. eric cantor was taking fire from that primary challenger he had for being soft on immigration. so he refused to even bring the enlist act to the floor. he killed it. that didn't save his seat as we were reminiscing earlier tonight. congress still can't get the enlist act to the floor. so apparently, you can't get citizenship for fighting for this country unless it was 200 years ago and you get at least a major port city named after you, preferably

talking about -- near the port of galveston, they have been trying to unload 1 million barrels of crudeossession of a letter from lawyers hired by the iraqi government saying that, if companies help this tanker unload this oil, they will be in possession of stolen property. they don't say they'll be sued but it certainly reads like the companies will likely be sued. we've spoken with one company, the lightering company, how you unload oil from a ship out at sea and bring to shore, it's called lightering, literally make the ship lighter. lightering companies have been warned, if they assist in the process, they will be in possession of stolen property. remember, kurdistan is a region, semi autonomous in the northern part of iraq, it has its own oil. trying to ship its own oil. the iraqi government in baghdad is against this, they say that all oil in iraq belongs to the iraqi people and should go through the central government of baghdad. the state department is on the side of baghdad but the kurds are trying to export their own oil. they'd like their own money and perhaps one day, carl,
