. >> joining us now by phone is jane miller investigative reporter for wbal in baltimore. she has been covering the investigation of freddie grays death. also jamal bryant. he delivered a eulogy at freddie gray's funeral today. jamal bryant tell us about that funeral today and how much time lapsed between the end of the funeral and when this activity broke out this afternoon? >> the funeral really was a heartwarming moment for the family. gave them a peace and solace and prayerfully some closure. we were actually en route back from the cemetery when getting the news of the uprising taking place across baltimore. it was disturbing and disenchanting considering we called for a day of no marching and no protesting. to be met with this news is painful and regrettable. it gives a black eye to the legacy of what we've been doing over the last seven days. >> you said hours ago from the scene there in the street that you were going to help activate people from your churches, from other churches, men to go out there into the streets and help bring calm to those streets. how has tha

investigative reporter from wbal, jane miller with us here on the ed show. bring in trymaine lee joining us live from baltimore. trymaine this story that's developing now about what may or may not have happened in the back of the van, this has to be spreading through the community. what kind of reaction are you hearing? >> reporter: oh, certainly one part is disbelief. people from the very beginning didn't believe that freddie gray in any way caused his own injuries. many say they believe the police are kind of trying to see the ground and they expect that. but one thing i heard over and over again, freddie gray never should have been in police custody in the first place. they wonder why he was detained in the first place, being that from the report they said initially made eye contact and he ran off. so that's a problem for many people out here who are saying that the police routinely stop black people and young black men in particular for petty offenses. said we don't know all the facts, but we do know freddie gray is dead and he shouldn't be. >> you had t

dante allen spoke today for the first time to jane miller said he was put in the van on the opposite side of gray with a solid divider between them so they couldn't see each other. allen said he didn't know anyone was in the van at the time. this is what he said about the ride to the police station. >> when i got in the van i didn't hear nothing. it was a smooth ride. we went straight to the police station. all i heard was like a little banging for like four seconds. i just heard little banging you know, just little -- you know, boom, boom, just little banging. >> did you tell the police that you heard him banging his head against the van? >> i told homicide that. >> sources told our baltimore affiliate that gray was likely unresponsive by the time allen was picked up and put in that van. but according to medical experts, the type of injury gray suffered could have caused seizures which could account for the four seconds of banging allen reported to the police. at the live desk, scott macfarlane. >> thanks, scott. the city's state's attorney confirmed that she now has the internal in

thanks so much. >> we want to go to jane miller from the nbc station in baltimore and i saw her tweet out pictures. there's the inner harbor right now. >> where was going to happen took place on social media from what i understand. >> there were fliers distributed, believe. this was a planned day at 3:00. some sources of mine in law enforcement, they were really preparing earlier in the day. i think what happened at mondawmin was beyond their expectation. this is obviously a very challenging situation because city of baltimore is not small. it is not a small town and you have a lot of ways in and out of downtown and, you know obviously if you're on foot lots of ways to get down. >> sure sure. i mentioned on the air about an hour ago that you know we saw primarily the vast majority of these people who were throwing things and starting things on fire were young people. we could see that they were wearing school uniforms many of them wearing backpacks so i assume that a lot of them were students and i put out the call call your children and tell them it's ees's time to come home and the

joining us now is jane miller investigative reporter for nbc affiliate wbal in baltimore. tigation from the start. jane, what is the latest tonight? >> well lawrence first of all, the protests we had more protests today. probably not quite as many people today as in previous days. but they were scattered around the city. but tonight, all is quiet. we've had very orderly -- you know, a few scuffles here and there with police but certainly mostly just very organized, strong message from the organizers. there's been the demonstrators. all is quiet tonight. the investigation goes on and, you know there are little bits and pieces that are, you know developing. but this is an ongoing criminal investigation of what happened to freddie gray while he was in custody on april 12th. he, of course, died a week later. >> did you know the police have -- and jane has been making the point about this this is so unusual, a may 1st deadline for them to kind of go public with a report or some presentation of some kind about what they think happened here. so, you know end of next week. >> yeah.

investigative reporter jane miller joins me now by phone. thank you for your time here. >> good morning. >> let's get to the heart of some things you have uncovered in your separate investigation including this information you have on this unnamed prisoner who was in the van with mr. gray. tell me the timeline of when he could have heard or allegedly heard what the post is reporting. >> the post reporting comes from the search warrant affidavit used by police to search a particular place. and the police officer who swore out that affidavit said the account of this prisoner was that freddie gray was banging his head or he heard freddie gray banging his head against the wall of the van. we have reported consistently in this case is that there is no evidence to support that. the medical evidence in this case which is both from the hospital because he spent a week in the hospital undergoing lots of medical procedures before he died and from the autopsy is that his injury was a single severe spinal injury resulting from a broken neck and then the

jane miller from jwvl. doing great reporting on this. joining me now is msnbc correspondents correspondents, joy reid, it looks quiet and serine. >> yeah it is mostly police and reporters, drones still zooming overhead. things quieted down. there was a brief moment where young men who were involved in one of the protests that was festive when it got started. lots of music and chanting. as it started to break up there was a group of people a pretty big group decided they would not go home or disburse. elijah cummings came out. he spoke about a measured response. we saw police officers that fanned out. they made a show of presence no clashes between police and protestors and the people out here. there was a squirmish that were between people who were out, but for the most part now, all quiet, things are back to what you would call a city with a curfew and military equipment rolling around. >> i want you to hang around and talk about what we just heard, i think jane was saying this document, we're aware of the documentary, it does exist. sh

he spoke to wblal's jane miller. >> alan did not know a man was already in the van. freddie gray was on the right side alan was loaded on to the left side. a solid divider separated them. in an interview, alan described what he heard. once you got in the van, what did you hear? >> when i got in the van, i didn't hear nothing. we went straight to the police station. all i heard was like a little banging for about four seconds. you know what i mean? i just heard a little banging, you know, just little -- you know what i mean boom boom just little banging. >> reporter: sources have told us that by the time alan was loaded, gray was unresponsive. you can see officers at that stop looking into gray's side of the van with its doors fully open. >> when we got to the police station, they said he didn't have no pulse or nothing. they calling his name mr. gray mr. gray and he wasn't responsible. >> this follows a controversial new report in "the washington post," which claims that same passenger told police he heard gray intentionally trying to injure himself. also today, poli

today allen spoke to jane miller. >> we went straight to the police station. august i heard was like a little banging for like four seconds. >> reporter: miller has been briefed by law enforcement sources on the autopsy report. >> the autopsy contains no evidence that mr. gray was banging his head on his own against anything. >> reporter: the decision whether to prosecute any of the six officers involved now falls to baltimore's newly elected state's attorney marilyn most by. at 35 the youngest chief prosecutor of any major city in the country. the police department's decision not to release the results of the investigation tomorrow is fueling frustrations and fears of more violence. >> regrettably, somebody has put a metal plate in the microwave and when you see it spin around you're getting red toy to see flares go off and that's why we're working so tirelessly to try to subdue this. >> reporter: trace di williams worries about her herdaughter and wants justice to be served. >> this is not the 1940s or ''50s or '6 os. we still have a long way to go. >> repor

jane miller spoke to msnbc's chris hayes last night. >> according to our sources by the time that prisoner is loaded into that van freddie gray was unresponsive. secondly we reported there is no medical evidence that freddie gray suffered any injury that would indicate that he injured himself by banging his head against the van wall door whatever you want to say. >> the police commissioner said a few days ago the second commissioner reported his ride was calm and quite. it was an eerie sight and the first in the history of major league baseball. the orioles took on the white sox in an empty camden yards. fans were banned for safety reasons. the one bright spot the os topped the sox 8-2. >> we made quite a statement as a city. some good. some bad but now let's go on with taking the statements we made and creating it a positive. >> the game did have some light moments like this os catcher, caleb joseph signing imaginary autographs. he even waved to empty stands. the 46,000 empty seats broke baseball's lowest attendance record set in 1882. senator bernie saunders is running for the white hous

let's bring in jane miller she's there. us a sense of all that happened throughout the night and what the state of baltimore is right now? >> reporter: if you look behind me, you can see the state of baltimore. those are say arriveheriff's deputies with heavy duty weapons. that's not a normal sight. and we haven't seen the national guard yet. so this is going to be a very different day in the city of baltimore following a very difficult night. this was -- we talk a lot about where the center of this was, which started at a mall in northwest baltimore, which by the way it was a huge victory for the city of baltimore in it development in that neighborhood to get those retailers, target is in that mall to get those retailers to open up shop there. because it's been a challenge in that area. and now they have been the looted and they had a very difficult day yesterday. same thing with cvs, getting the retailers to come in for the lower income neighborhoods has been a big push and now they have been burned. so those are the enor

here's jane miller. >> reporter: according to sources, lieutenant brian rice, the shift commander of officers who chased and arrested freddie gray had been previously arrested from regular duty several time. all were related to offduty domestic allegations. none resulted in convictions. and the wagon driver cesar, is krnlly undergoing proceedings for allowing a person to escape from the hospital. he is a key part of the investigation because as the driver he has primary responsibility for gray's safety during transport. in an interview, the police commissioner suggested the officers involved in handling gray had the right intention. >> i think the officers what i've been told now, had intentions to take him to the hospital. at that time i expect them to get a paramedic there. >> reporter: at city hall, the mayor ticked off her questions. >> i don't know how someone injured to that extent could have asked for medical attention from another human being and not been given medical attention. those are some serious questions that really trouble me. >> reporter: the mayor promised new deta

as jane miller reports, this isn't the first time the city's officers have come under fire for possiblessive force. >> reporter: video shows the man identified as freddy gray after he had been arrested by police in west baltimore. >>> this is how gray appeared as officers put him in a police wagon and took him out of view. he is talking, able to move his legs. he lifts his head. video in a different locations shows he had been taken out of the van. for additional restraint. here he is seen on the pavement on his knees. this is the way gray appeared later. after. while still in police custody he was taken to a hospital. friends say he was suffering from a broken neck. the most severe spinal cord injury which can cause paralysis. wham to lead to the injury is now under investigation. the department's questionable handling of prisonerser previously has led to expensive investigation. jeffrey was left paralyzed and in need of constant nursing care after his arrest in 1997. he argued city police threw him head first into a police van after being stopped for a speeding ticket. he suffered a b

. >> jane miller from our affiliate in baltimore, wbal. thank you. >>> joining us now the gray family attorney. let's talk about the circumstances you understand what happened with freddie gray and his arrest. we're hearing from jane miller the official autopsy report takes some time. explain what you understand about why police thought he was a person of interest. >> that's not clear. our sources and witness interviews tell us the police happened upon him while he was running away. they hadn't gone to look for him. they saw him running and immediately chased him. they ended up arresting him at corner of mount and press berry street right underneath the police camera that recorded the entire sequence are from the time he laid down to surrender to police flat on his stomach to the time he was put in the police cruiser and taken away. that tape hasn't been released by the police nor have the radio broadcast that led up to the arrest been released. typically the police are communicating back and forth about why they're chasing someone and may

joining me now, jane miller in baltimore. what more do we know about why gray was arrangeoriginally a suspect? >> thomas what we know from the police report and this is obviously part of the controversy about this case a big part of controversy is that he was chased originally on the morning of april 12th. that sunday morning because he made eye contact with police and started running. the question is does running from the police constitute probable cause of a crime? police chased him down put him on the pavement, handcuffed him, searched him and found a pocket knife which ends up being the reason he was taken to custody and on his way in the police wagon wagon. the running from police there's an established law that says in high crime areas that could be reason for police to stop somebody. the real question here that the lawyer is going to argue, was there probable cause to put him on the pavement handcuff him and search him to find the pocket knife? that's a key part of this case. i call it pettiness of the original stop ca

seeing on your screen right there is basically the extent of what we have and combine that with jane miller's incredible reporting for wbal and reporters working the story, but in terms of public presentations of an account, that's part of what makes this case so frustrating for so many people. >> it's hard to say -- all these cases are very different. the walter scott case, that evidence was pretty damning so they had to jump in front of it. also coming off ferguson where people were saying the leadership bungled every step of the way. every moment that could have happened, they hurt the situation. here, we're in funny territory. if you listen to the police spokesman, he's doing a pretty good job of giving information in the sense of, we're trying to work with you, he gives a good face to the department, but still we don't know anything -- much more than we knew two weeks ago and that's troubling for folks, obviously. >> and joy, what you said is troubling in the sense that -- again, i understand that you can understand wanting to maintain the integrity of the investigation and being constra

joining me is brian moore and jane miller. thanks to both of you for joining me this afternoon. i want to start with you. this breaking news. we're getting word there's a credible threat against baltimore police. this is coming from gangs in the area. what are you hearing about this? >> reporter: yeah kristin the, ominous disclosure by the baltimore police department. they say the notorious gangs, crypts bloods and other gangs have made a pact to quote, take police out on the streets. the police department is categorizing this as a credible threat and says officers are taking the appropriate protective actions. not saying what those may be. the department says it's so concerned it's telling other police departments in this area and around the country about this once again what they call a credible threat. >> jane to you. what are you hearing about this threat? what are police departments to brian's point doing to brace themselves? >> well kristin, this is not the first time police departments, not just baltimore but other law enforcement agencies have received information this k

jane miller says the evidence doesn't add up. >> exactly.urprising we have seen this in other cases is that the police begin leaking selective bits of information related to this ongoing investigation and related to the information that they are pouring over in terms of the evidence. we saw this in ferguson, missouri and staten island. we are likely to see both today and tomorrow and for the whole period of time between now and when the full report is available is little tidbits, unsurprisingly things that seem to favor the police story or potentially undermine freddie gray's story are going to appear in the media. >> this bit that appears on the "washington post" i don't know if it is helpful to the police or not. if you have somebody who is inside a van who does not have his seat belt on and trying to hurt himself and nothing is being done bet that that is not favorable either way you look at it. it doesn't seem to be that that is favorable to anybody? >> of course. one of the biggest questions remains is how do you sustain injuries before

joining me wbal investigative reporter jane miller. this information in front of us now. >> actually thomas this is very important. we've done stories on this already. >> this is the catalyst of what this means. >> this is the charging document for the arrest from april 12th. the controversy of this in itself is the whole thing. it's very much part of the investigation too. the question is did police a, have probable cause to chase him? and b, once they stopped him, did they have probable cause to seize him? seizing is the taking him into custody. putting him on the pavement, handcuffing him, putting him in custody it's not until they seize him they find the knife. >> also arrest without force or incident. >> my understanding is there are witnesses that he stopped. he was originally out of breath because he had been running and was like okay, you got me. >> during the transport, the defendant suffered a medical emergency and immediately transferred to shock trauma via medic. how many stops through your investigative reporting are you a

but jane miller investigative reporter for our baltimore affiliate, reported even before gray's deathwas no evidence to back up that claim. she says an autopsy also showed a spinal cord injury for gray and that there would have been additional injuries if he had banged his own head. in addition, she says the police commissioner recently stated the prisoner's ride in the police vap was calm and quiet and sources tell miller that gray was unresponsive when the second prisoner was picked up. interesting that part of the police report was released. i have a lot of questions about it too. >> again, this goes back to what is not knowing what went on inside that vapn, not knowing exactly what happened, when he received the injury that he received. not to be simple minded but it goes back to the fact that there weren't cameras on the police officers. there need to be body cams on every police officer. i suspect five years from now we'll look back and ask what the hell were we doing for so long that we would have these questions that could be easily answered when you put body cameras on every

here's the latest from baltimore's jane miller. >> reporter: 25-year-old freddie gray diedmorning.ury a severe spinal cord injury. arrested sunday a week ago on a west baltimore street. the reason for the arrest police wrote in the charging document fled unprovoked upon noting police presence in the neighborhood. police chased gray down the street and caught him. the officer then noticed a knife clipped to the inside of his pant's pocket. gray was arrested without force or incident. the officer then writes gray suffered a medical emergency in transport but it doesn't say how, where or when. friday a witness who did not want to be identified told us she watched how police handled gray whether the van stopped at a second location and leg irons to be applied. >> face first, i mean you know face down and on to his legs or you know locked up. head first. laying on the stomach when they threw him. he was still on his stomach position on his stock am. and then just threw him in the paddy with a don. >> reporter: sources tell us the van made a third stop to pick up another prisoner. at tha

we get the latest now from jane miller. >> reporter: footage from the city's crime camera system from morning of april 12th shows a man running down the street. it is the reason 25-year-old freddie gray was pursued by police. according to the report police wrote, gray fled unprovoked upon noticing police presence. police caught up to gray and, even though he was compliant according to their description, police put him on the sidewalk, handcuffed him and searched him, finding a small knife that led to his arrest and that fatal trip in a police wagon. >> they seem to admit the only basis of the stop is the man started running. >> reporter: billy murphy is the lawyer for the gray family. >> well you know black men running is not probable cause. black men being scared of the police and running from police is n commissioner said yesterday the reason for chasing gray is part of the investigation. established case law allows police to use the mere act of running away for a reason to stop someone if it's in a high crimea crimea. but handcuffing and search searching gray may have caused additi

jane miller has our report from baltimore. >> reporter: ordinarily bishop heather cook would be spendingy, holy thursday immersed in church activities. instead she was in circuit court answering to the multiple criminal charges against her. cook is accused of driving drunk, two days after christmas, and mowing down cyclist tom palermo along roland avenue. prosecutors say her blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit. she was texting while driving and kept going after the crash, returning more than half an hour later. during the brief court proceeding palermo's family sat right behind cook. no words were exchanged though cook's lawyer spoke with the family representative later. both parties spoke on the courthouse steps. >> we know this is the first step in a long process. so we're looking forward to having this resolved and to see justice. >> our thoughts and prayers are with the palermo family and miss cook can't say anything right now based upon the legal situation and the advice of counsel, but of course we're all saying our prayers. it's a horrible situation. >> repo

. >>> we're joined now by jane miller from wabl in baltimore. she's covering the investigation of the death of freddy gray. jane, your reaction to tonight's report in "the washington post," which in effect is a leaked document of a police detective's account, which in effect says freddie gray did it to himself. i'm going to read it again to the audience here. the lead of "the washington post" article breaking within the hour is a prisoner sharing a police transport van with freddie gray told investigators that he could hear gray banging against the walls of the vehicle and believed that he was intentionally trying to injure himself according to a police document obtained by "the washington post." jane, your reaction? >> we reported previously, long before this, that by the time that stop is made to pick up that privileger, that according to or sources freddie gray was unresideble. >> just a second. you're saying freddie gray was first alone in the van -- >> no, no. >> how long was he alone in the van before the second prisoner gets in the van? >>

. >> nbc's jane miller spoke to the relative of one of the officers who's been suspended in this controversial case. a woman who asked not to have her face shown. here is their conversation. >> i think that from what i understand when they have someone that's irate they may stop and do certain things like the leg shackles or the handcuffs. but if they're still irate, they won't put the seat belt on because that means they put themselves at risk of being attacked, even if they don't have their hands or their feet. they still have their mouth. and not knowing whether they have anything in their mouth or not knowing whether they're just going to bite them. who wants to risk that? when they could just secure them as best they can and get them to where they need to be. >> reporter: the policy is clear. >> yes. >> reporter: that the prisoner has to be belted. >> yes. >> reporter: but officers just ignore that? >> that i don't know. >> reporter: does this officer believe that he did anything wrong? >> no. no. >> reporter: even though the policy is clear. >> no. they don't. they came. they did their j

. >> let me bring in jane miller who has been covering the freddie gray case and the fallout. she joins me on the phone. what can you tell us about the level of surprise here? there have been several developments about gangs being united together and called to bring down the police. and now sporadic bursts of rock throwing from the street. >> we have a situation that is very dynamic at the moment. schools were closed about 3:00. there's a group of kids younger people that were involved in skirmishes near a shopping mall. and they're currently in kind of a skirmish with the police as we speak. there's a lot of police presence in that part of town. downtown is calm at the moment. a lot of businesses closed early. today was freddie gray's funeral. that is going to take second seat to the disruption that is going on right now. >> jayne, for those folks who are tuning in now and are unfamiliar with the geography of baltimore, we're looking at west baltimore right now. is that correct? >> are you looking at the -- >> northwest baltimore. it's about ten minutes from where the freddie

joining us, jane miller, lead investigateive reporter for wbal tv. ng, my instinct of what happened over this weekend was just a matter of time. give us a sense of the surrounding factors to this case. >> well, if you want to start at the beginning, yeah, like many cities we've had some pretty aggressive policing policies in this town for at least 15, 20 years. and there has been a lot of contention and a lot of debate and there has been effort over the past two years, this mayor has publicly over and over and over again made the statement the public hates crime, but in many communities, they hate the police more. so you have this kind of knocking heads that have been going on between police and communities, so now we have this case against that history, recent history, and against the national -- backdrop of the national debate about how should we be policing people. and how should we be particularly policing people of color in low income community. because that's where we've had the most aggressive confrontations. so all of that is in play when on a

then we had maybe the most esteemed investigative reporter in baltimore, jane miller said i got informationry that did not happen. he said it was a quiet ride. so the information so contradictory, we have no idea what happened. and now we have a void or vacuum of information that gets filled by the wrong message or misinformation. >> and of course many in the city are worried about, you know when this report comes out and there's no information and there's no charges, there might be riots anew in the city of baltimore. as you know ray lewis is in town. is that helpful? >> ray lewis is very helpful. people may not realize it outside the city but he is such an immense influence in this town. he's canceled his appearance at the draft tonight to be here to help the city through this. he has been very committed to this city. and as adam jones of the orioles, he's also a very influential member of this community, and he has also been vocal. and i believe both of them can really really help us through this. >> edward norris thank you so much for being with me this morning. i appreciate it. >> yeah
