mr. officer porter mr. william porter had many opportunities to do the right thing with respect to freddie gray. where he did come in, he did assist him and pu picked him up off the floor. how difficult would it have been for him to put him in a seat belt. mr. gray did say he wanted to go to the hospital. that is in dispute, but why would he have gotten on his phone and called for mr. gray to go to the hospital. >> we keep seeing pictures of officer porter in the yellow tie walking in to the courthouse with his lawyer. generally when as a former city prosecutor what is the greatest challenge when you retry a case of this nature for a second time? >> oh, my god, they do not get better the second go around. as a matter of fact, that's the problem with the retrial and hung jury. you already have testimony in. witnesses have already been sworn. they've already stated things. it just doesn't get any easier. make no mistake even though the first trial was a difficult trial, the second trial is really going to be e

mr. porter is set for next month. is one of six officers facing g charges in the death of freddy gray. freddy gray suffered a spinal injury and was shackled during the ride, but officers did not put a seat belt on him. his death set off protests earlier this year. the driver of the van is to face trial next on january 6. jeff: an air france flight is forced to make an emergency landing. plus, the station in china after a massive landslide. >> clouds are northern california into southern nevada. as will be an interesting [siren] to someone who just lost everything. that, "yes, we'll find you somewhere to stay" and "yes, your children will have breakfast." every 8 minutes the red cross responds to a disaster and makes this promise. jeff: you're listening to the sounds and looking at the site of the landside in southern china, captured by witnesses. dust and mud can be seen rising collapsing. the landslide buried 33 buildings and resulted in 91 people missing. no deaths have been reported. jeff: passengers arrived in paris on board that air france jet forced to make an emergency landing i

mr. porter, the officer porter was at 4 or 5 of the 6 stops where freddie gray stopped on that morning, andie gray went into that van as a healthy young man, and he came out of that van about 42 minutes later not breathing, unconscious, and for all intents and purposes dead essentially. he survived for another five days in a coma and never regained consciousness. he went into great detail of how mr. gray received that injury in the van, and it is the compression of the neck into the spine crushing the the fourth and the fifth vertebrae basically, and causing mr. gray to cease functioning from the neck down basically. he was able to breathe shallowly using the muscles of the neck, and that his breathing became more and more shallow as time went on. this is how one young man who is protesting and he is from west baltimore where freddie gray was arrested near that neighborhood, and he made his way into the court, and not easy to get into the court, and this is the reaction to the prosecutor as he laid out the line of questioning about how mr. gray died. >> it was a little -- it pisses me off a

mr. porter. officer porter. asked for justice again and the justice wheels are rolling. sometimes it's slow. and they have got to follow it and understand that when you ask for justice, it's not just based on a verdict or a decision that you want. it's a process that's fair. and that's what we are looking at. i got to tell you. one thing you didn't talk about too much is that we had a relatively calm evening yesterday. i give a lot of credit to the mayor, our clergy here, our young people who got out and said we want peace in our city. i think it presenteded ed ed a d image of baltimore. we go forward. this is in the middle -- there's a trial that i'm sure will take place with mr. porter. we have five other trials coming up. but for this moment, i think baltimore is waiting to see what happens and learning more and more about the criminal justice process and i tell you as leaders it's incumbent upon us to make sure people understand that process and understand that nothing is at an end and hopefully by going thr

mr. porter's mother? what you see in your son, obviously is a biased example of who he might be some might say. >> well, right. all attorneys will put forth a character witness. i'm not too concerned about the weight of that because jurors know that. it's common sense. my thing with this particular defendant is i feel that he's the least culpable of all the six officers charged. in order to convict him of the most serious offense, which is manslaughter, the prosecution would have to prove there was a gross departure from the normal procedure followed by a reasonable officer in that situation. i think that will be difficult to prove. >> if you think he is the least culpable -- >> yes. >> -- depending on what happened in this case, how might it affect the other cases? we know it's not supposed to. but when you have a jury and outside people watching it, what happens here, could it somehow affect what happens in the future with the other cases? >> it could. i look at this case as a finger pointing game. of c

mr. porter's, and we want to bring in cnn legal analyst and attorney danny cevallos, and cnn analyst andrney joey jackson. what are you are thinking if you are the prosecutor? danny? >> you are the officer and just got through the trial, and not got not guilty, but mistrial, and you have stein entire state's case against you and then consider whether or not the state will offer him a deal. when we talk about the immunity, what kind of message would that send? it is the government saying, we believe that the officer committed manslaughter and it did not work out the way we wanted, but hey, now that we believe that you committed manslaughter, we will let you walk if you testify against the brother officers? they are many in a minefield of issues, and if you are officer porter, you are probably feeling coni the dent and probably thinking that you don't want to help the state out, because they put you through a trial, and trial that porter now believes he can now win. >> and can the state get anywhere without the testimony that they would have been hoping to get from him? >> well, they will

mr. porter was exhibiting and how might that help influence the jury, avery?well, that's everything. that's the credibility of taking the chance of putting the defendant on. look, somebody has to be accountable to the death of freddie gray. is this the case based on what we're seeing up to this point? i think we're in accord, it is unlikely i think they're going to get a conviction for this kind of homicide. it's going to be very -- >> but richard, could the argument also still be made that even if this is the norm, that it is unhumane, since that is one of the charges, wouldn't that also be an indictment not just on the officer who is carrying out the norm, but it would also be an indictment against the system saying, this norm, there's something wrong with it, and it potentially leads to someone's death? >> fred, it was an administrative position to seat belt in. the area is not very large. he was shackled, he was in a seat, he was there would a reasonable police officer under those circumstances, who found a prisoner on the floor, would they -- what would t

mr. porter as a witness in the other cases, why wouldn't they make a stronger case for some sort of pleahey were counting on his testimony in the other cases a opposed to trying to make his be the first one out of the gate? >> well, his case was supposedly the strongest one, fredricka. and if they could not get a jury to agree on that -- >> doesn't that seem strange to you? why would that be the strongest if there was really no precedence for putting people until seat belts? this is the one time that he didn't put freddie gray in a seat belt, then that wouldn't necessarily go to negligence, would it? >> well, see, that's all part of what the defense challenged. thousand brought in arguably the best forensic pathologist in the country, dr. demaio, who said that the injuries sustained by freddie gray to his medical satisfaction probably occurred much further along in his ride to the jail than when officer porter had any interaction with him. so if a jury or a juror or a group of jurors believes dr. demayo and se, hey, if it's good enough for this guy, it's good enough for me, that is enoug

mr. porter faced was very different than the one they tend to face. and many people talked about the fact that these officers are all receiving different charges, and that is not an experience they generally have when they are at the wrong place at the wrong time. if you're in the area, you're likely to face the same charges as your codefendant. there is an acute sense of that that the system is lopsided, especially when it comes to poor black residents in baltimore city. nermeen: some black lives matter activists were less critical of the verdict. with said in an interview the "new york times" -- "this is a hung jury; it's not an acquittal. that's important. the prosecution resonated with the jury in some capacity -- and that is undeniable." so could you respond to that, roberto? was that the since you had from the people in the community that you spoke to? >> no. i think you have to remember this is a community that is fairly tightknit and they lost somebody that i think was cared for a great deal in that neighborhood. so the sense there is that jus

porter let the ride continue without seat belting gray or calling a medic. the defendant had a duty to keep mr. gray safe and he just didn't care. porter's lawyer says that he did not seat belt in fear that he might grab his gun that he told other officers including his supervisor that he might need to go to a supervisor. and one prominent baltimore defense attorney warned that he called the case a draw. the former head trainer for baltimore city police says he's not so sure. >> every police officer who witnessed that of mr. gray going in to the back of the van to the point knowing that he was not seat belted in has a responsibility. >> reporter: so you can see from the rehash that both sides did in their final arguments today that there is a lot for this jury to consider. a timeline and all kinds of facts that they have been at it again. meanwhile baltimore's school ceo sent a letter home saying that he is very concerned. the school's ceo warning students not to get involved in a feel for parents to help council their kids as the jury deliberates this case in baltimore with such gravity. repo

cuffs and put him upright on to a bench and, in porter's words, he told the van driver, caesar goodson, whose trial is coming up early next year, that mr. gray needed to go to a hospital. but prosecutors say porter should have called for a medic immediately after gray indicated he was in any sort of distress. >> ifill: so, okay, let's talk about what effect this has had on the city of baltimore. we know what the immediate impact was just before and right after the charges were brought. where is the city tonight, i guess? >> sure. the city is absolutely bracing for a verdict. there is a police presence in baltimore. there was a presence in baltimore today. police officers from baltimore and surrounding jurisdictions were seen staging around the city. there is a crowd of protesters that had gathered outside to have the courthouse this evening. there are demonstrations planned for whenever the verdict does come down and also for following day. so i think the city can absolutely expect demonstrations, and the police department is preparing for any sort of civil unrest that we might see in the coming days. >> ifill: how many other people wh

porter is not one of those who took part in the initial arrest of freddie gray. not one of those bicycle officers wearing yellow that you can see in the video shoving mr. gray in the back of the van. porter's roll in this was to be called afterwards to check on gray, the prisoner in the back of the van. he is accused of not responding to gray's request for medical help and not picking them up and seat belting them in the chair. so porter on the stand today said a number of things. one, in 150 arrests he has never seen a prisoner seat belted. they say the officer say it's dangerous for them to do so because prisons can grab at their guns. with regard to the request for medical help, porter acknowledges that gray made it but porter said he never saw any outward sign of injuries in two checks. it wasn't until they got to the police station the so-called sixth stop of the van they realize that gray was in distress. this trial is getting close to wrapping up. there are concerns in this town about what will happen. will there be rioting as f people don't like the verdict? so today, the mayor and the police commissioner held a press conference to deliver essen

and the prosecution made an argument that officer porter was among several officers who was deliberately trying to injure mr. gray, which ultimately resulted in the death. but officer porter told a very different story, one of a night where he was doing what he always does. no, he does not always belt in individuals or suspects when they're in the back of the van. no, he does not always call for medical care unless he deems it necessary and at the time, in that moment, he did not. not because he had any issue with mr. gray, not because he didn't hurt him, but because he didn't see it was necessary. was he wrong about that? obviously so. we all know that now. but what we saw, what the jury determined, they couldn't reach this outcome. several jurors fundamentally believed officer porter's version of events. we would expect prosecutors here to seek another trial, and this is the first of many, as you were reporting, then this is a predicate to go on and try to win this case. but again, a headline on how this looks. this was what prosecutors thought was their best case, brian. >> joy reid has been following th

porter has just begun. that is going to be a very tough cross-examination after about a two-hour direct questioning by his own lawyers. on the question of whether or not he heard mry say he couldn't breathe, officer porter explained that to his defense lawyer by saying -- and to the jury -- that he only heard that as mr. gray was yelling at the very first incident, at the very first stop. some big points he made regarding the seat belting you were talking about, he said, we were trained to use seat belts in the academy. but in all of my time on the streets, in everything i learned while i was on the job, we never seat belted detainees, he said, while they were in the van. he'd do it in his cruiser but not while they were in the van. the other huge question that porter got today was, what happened at that fourth stop? six stops altogether in this situation. what happened at the fourth stop? porter insisted that gray was responsive, that he was okay, that it was gray himself who helped himself up onto the bench as porter was trying to support him. the lawyers at one point laying on the ground, the jury standing up watching all of this happen, fairly dramatic moment

the key to officer porter's testimony was that he said that mr. gray asked for help. and that is really pivotal to the prosecution's theory of the case, which is that the officers were aware that he needed help and then they failed to assist him. >> is this a case where marilyn mo mosby so overcharged these crimes that the jury gets blinded by saying we can't convict him of involuntary manslaughter, maybe he didn't get help, but is this a case where you have overcharging and making it so much harder to get a conviction? >> i think that the standard for conviction of beyond a reasonable doubt is so much higher than the standard for charging. and i do think that not all of the officers should have been charged in this particular case. and the charges do seem a little bit overblown considering the actions that she alleges they committed about. >> in the couple days since we've seen the mistrial verdict come out -- result i guess we should say come out, has there been any indication that charges will change, that we will start seeing plea bargains and programs marilyn mos

mr. gray made in that van, he says william porter was at five of those stops, at some point mr. gray became injured to the point that it threatened his life. at the third stop, he says that william porter opened that door after being called for assistance by goodson, the driver, officer porter opened the door and the first thing frady gray said was "help." porter asked him, what's wrong? he responded, i can't breathe. he said, do you need a medic? gray said yes. he said, do you need to go to the hospital? he said yes. this is the first time we're hearing this firsthand back-and-forth between porter and gray. all those words will now come back to haunt him in this case because the prosecution is saying, despite all of that, not only at that stop but at others, they never got gray the help he needed. as for how his neck got injured, they're saying the forth and fifth cervical, it was crushed like you were diving into a pool and your head hit the bottom and it caused your spine to be crushed essentially. and that gray could speak because everything from his neck down was basically i
