griff jenkins with in court today, griff? >> greta, a bombshell, indeed.y williams who presided over officer william's porter trial which ended in a hung jury last month ruled today that porter must testify against fellow officer caesar goodson whose trial begins monday. the judge ruling that that testimony porter will give in gibson's trial if he does testify cannot be used against him at a later date, for instance, in porter's retrial which is later this year in june. defense team says they will immediately seek an injunction from maryland's court of special stop porter from having to teach saying that it violates his fifth amendment rights. porter was in court today on the stand indicating under oath that he would, indeed, invoke his fifth amendment rights. if that sounds unique, it's because it is. because porter in a sense has become both defendant and witness at the same time. also, earlier in the day, officer goodson was in court for a handful of rulings earlier this morning which included a denial for a change of venue, a ruling the jurors will rem

griff jenkins how about out on the trail getting a look at the ground game. griff?all about that ground game. if you had any doubts, ask governor huckabee as i did earlier today. he said it made all the difference. david axlerod president obama's campaign manager said they wouldn't have won without it in 2008. we were at governor headquarters. we found they really are still undecide and changing their minds when we spoke to this voter earlier today. >> i was pretty much for trump up until last week. he seems too volatile for me. >> who mass the best ground game? that is what we are trying to determine, greta are, when you were out here on sunday. and we have that great special. at the same time, 7:00 p.m. eastern. tomorrow we are going out with the rubio campaign. some of the others and it is absolutely changing by the mean. we can't wait to show everybody on sunday. >> sundalz3á p.m.:00t our special edition of "on the record" live from iowa. coming up next, do you know what today is? well, it might make you cry when you find out. but i'm going to tell you off the r

griff jenkins was in the courtroom. what happened today?eta, just when you thought it couldn't get more complicated the maryland court of special appeals intervened and postponed indefinitely the trial for officer caesar goodson which was set to begin with jury selection today. >> because th-iç officer had appealed the order because mosby wanted him to testify and he didn't want to testify because he has a fifth amendment right. so he took it to the court of appeals and the court of appeals did something very simple applied the law. >> george williams' order compelling porter to testify, of course this co%zq of special appeals granted that injunction and now they have stepped in and said this cannot go forward anymore. we also know porter has been called in the same capacity in alicia -- sergeant alicia white's trial which comes up next. what's effectively happened is it stopped all these trials from moving forward. we wait and find out there. could be even oral arguments in this court of special appeals. certainly brief also be be filed an

griff went out and spent a lot of money on this bench. we have more depp st -- depth on this team. if you're breaking down tonight's box score, again i said earlier, lebron at 40. chiry and -- christian thompson 22. but james and williams also get in the game limited time. i would say you're going to look at an 8 man rotation tonight because you're playing the chicago bulls. if it's not the bulls then you're trying to get -- into the game. >> you're looking at an 8 man didn't have time -- some of these guys haven't been playing in quite a long time. you can't just snap your fingers and put someone in a game. >> so do we see the rotation expand? >> it has to expand. this is not the time to shrink your rotation. we don't start. >> let's talk about the locker room, that's a bomb that gets dropped in the locker room. when they met yesterday some players thought players were being traded. tell me about a mid season change with a coach. >> well, i think it shakes it up a little bit but this is the nature of this defense. i don't know anything in this league that somebody hasn't got trade

griffin, is saying it was his decision. like every other player on this team at 3:30 yesterday when griff called us in on our day off and told us he was making a change. he said you can like it, you can love it, but you are going to respect it. that's what i feel. it's where our team is today. this is the decision i'm making, and that's it. so for me, i can't get caught up and worried about what other people think. i've stopped that a long time angst my career, worrying about what other people think about me or what i influence or what i don't. >> lebron may not have made the dizzy, and he very well may not have been informed of the decision prior to the rest of his teammates. we spoke to espn host mike wilmot, and he says he believes griffin knew exactly how felt about blatt and the situation. we're going to fire david blatt today, but anything that happens in cleveland within the organization, lebron is going to have some feel for. that would be irresponsible of the front office to do that. david griffin who i know is not irresponsible. he's ultimately responsible and professional. so i

. >> reporter: griff, you could make the argument that things were worse after last season. curious, why give it another try? why have to do it at this juncture rather than during the off-season? >> i think it wasn't a function of patience. i think it was familiarity. i think gaze were upset that we didn't have enough talent when it came down to it at the end, and that's on me. i felt like what we needed to do was improve our roster. i think we did that. unprecedented amount of money. my thought was that with continuity, the things that you all perceived as tension were really tension relative to not knowing each other very well. i wanted to give them a chance to really come together. had we been bert in times of prosperity, i wouldn't have felt the need to do that, because i thought in the finals we were the best version of ourselves. there wasn't a lot of reticence on the part of the players to come back here. they were he can cited to get back to work. i think we all were. >> reporter: david, mark with cleveland 19. can you explain how the conversation went with dan some

dan griff has more now on the how the crash happened and how school leaders are remembering lauren tonight. >> pieces of a bumper, broken glass, all remnants of a car investigators say lauren was driving sunday night. >> any time something like this happens or students leave campus, yeah, we function a little bit as their parents and we take that responsibility very significantly, and we worry about them. we worry about them all the time but in moments like this it's a reminder of why relationships with our students are so important. >> josh knows she was a determined junior, excelling in studies, even taking college courses and working. lauren was on her way home from work at indian hill winter club last night. she lost control, overcorrected she did not survive. >> it's challenging day for our staff and our students. >> investigators say speed, weather, drugs and alcohol are all not believed to be factors in this crash. they are now turning to cell phone records to try to rule out distracted driving. lauren wasn't wearing a seat belt according to highway patrol. this is a gut-wrenching r

the entire state, the likes of which you cannot imagine, but griff jenkins can.of the poll, how big this iowa caucus is. >> that's right, it is for business owners, the caucus is the super bowl. the cash cow. it brought it in 2008, the last time there was no incumbent running, so both parties were here in full force. it brought in more than $20 million. we're at submitty's tenderloin and he looks like you. but it's not just the restaurant, the hotels, the t-shirt venders and retailers. they're seeing the boom. these campaigns have office space, venues. those ads on tv and radio you mentioned and billboards, you can't go down this road without seeing them. just to give you perspective, trump steps off a $100 million plane and steps in a holiday inn express for roughly 100 bucks. we were down on main street earlier and we talked to one of those owners just about this. here's what we had to say. >> because there's more interest and excitement and i think that's just good for everyone. sometimes, people are reluctant to get out when it's colder, but it gives a nice b
