. >> reporter: the death of james craig anderson was like the dark mississippi past come back to life. prosecutor robert smith had only heard the tales of racial hatred from his grandfather who helped and even housed civil rights leaders like medgar evers and dr. martin luther king, jr. it was before smith was even born back in the '60s when both men were shot down in a terrible wave of racial violence. on june 26th, that ugly past was suddenly present. >> when you first saw the video, the surveillance video, what was your reaction? >> certainly breathtaking, unbelievable. thought about the fact that that could have been anyone, including myself. >> reporter: the district attorney has charged daryl deadman, the teen driving the truck that killed anderson, with capital murder. a second teen, john rice, has been charged with simple assault. five other white teenagers who were there have not been charged. anderson's family has kept their grief and frustration mostly private, but after a court hearing, anderson's sister could not contain her emotions. >> go to brandon, mississippi. go to brandon, mississipp

we should point out that robert was not an eyewitness which brings us to the next important guest who was on anderson the first time we've heard of a person who has come forward, spoken to authorities and said they actually saw the gunshot that was fired. they didn't want to give their identity, this is how they sounded on anderson cooper last night. >> after the shots, obviously, a man got up, and it was kind of like that period of him -- i didn't actually watch him get up, but maybe within only a couple seconds or so, then he was walking towards where i was watching. and i could see him a little bit clearer. i could see it was an hispanic man. he didn't appear hurt or anything else. he just seemed very -- very worried or whatever. >> reporter: meanwhile, state authorities have announced that they are clamping down, they're trying to shut off all the leaks coming out regarding the investigation. but they're not going to be able to stop the eyewitnesses or the zimmerman family. if they want to speak, they can do so. >> so, marty, what is the man, the man who claims to be representing or at one point

and robert bair, and even though we have word of more defections from the syrian army, you're hearing that bashar al assad has a firm grip on power in syria? >> absolutely, anderson. i spoke with three separate senior u.s. intelligence officials. the assessment is all in agreement. assad remains in control, in charge. commanding his forces. there is no break. they believe, in the inner circle around him. you see these defections. you see some generals fleeing, but this is not his critical inner circle. they have closed ranks, they have determined to fight. they have tucked themselves into it. one of the officials says they're fighting an insurgency, and they believe right now that they will win. and sadly, anderson, the opposition remains fractured and unable to really mount an effective counteroffensive, according to the officials. >> so does it surprise you to hear? >> not really, but i'm not sure of the quality of american intelligence around syria. the inner circle around him is still tight, and the inner circle is reliable. who is the inner circle? his brother. yes, that inner circle is been with him throughout. they will flee with him, fight with him. and m

robert gibbs is joining us now. as you look at what looks to be a very good night for rick santorum, what do you make of the numbers? >> well, first of all, andersonnt to say i'm from alabama and i like grits. i wanted to get that off my chest. look, i think this is shaping up to be a remarkable night for rick santorum. i think it's a pretty bad night for mitt romney. and certainly, not a great night by any means for newt gingrich. if you're going to be a regional candidate, you better win the states in your region, but i think rick santorum is on the verge of a pretty remarkable night in the race. >> as far as your campaign is concerned, do you want to see both gingrich and santorum stay in this as long as possible? >> well, look, i think those are decisions that each of the candidates is going to make. like ydz, i think gingrich has a tougher time waking up tomorrow and not having won in a state that touches his home state and the next state over. those are certainly decisions that he's going to make. i think there are certain political realities he has to look at, but i think if you look at all three of the candidates, they represent largely th
