scott and to the dying walter scott.ave got to have an additional discussion about whether not only was there a tragedy but the extent to cover it up. both of these lawyers for the family certainly talked about the statements that were made by lawyers for the police officer by spokespersons for the police department prior to this tape coming out. that tape has sheds light. it's braugts the trut out into the open. that's the most important fact. but for that we'd be having another debate of a different course which is weight of opinion would have been to give the officer every discretion because the taser would have been found right at the person's body. all of the officer who is responded who have said there was an effort to administer first aid. none of that was true. it's a human tragedy of immense pro proportions. it's not only ha happens but it's the official effort to cover it up. deeply troubling. >> i think that's well said indeed. i want you to stand by. with us is loni randolph. we heard from the attorneys repre

we don't know why walter scott took off running. that is a key gap that has to be filled in this case. another new development we have just interviewed another witness. exclusively interviewed a witness to come forward to talk about what she saw. gwenn nichols. she saw say scuffle. she did not witness the gunshots. she said they scuffled and then saw walter scott go into the vacant lot where he eventually was shot. she heard the gunshots. >> i started to cry. sorry. i started to cry because i thought about the altercation with my son and it could have been my son. it could have been any one of these young black men around here. >> reporter: gwenn referred to her son there because her own son had his encounter with the north charleston police that was similar. he was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and they roughed him up. she could relate on that day. >> brian thank you. >>> also this morning, we are hearing from the mother of michael slager. while holding back tears, she offered this to the family of the man who her son is a

walter was the middle brother. the younger brother you just saw there, that got really emotional, rodney called him his best friend. said they had a really special bond. that he literally lost it when he went to the scene. he couldn't even get himself together to explain who he was. he was not allowed to cross the police tape, but broke past the tape there to get to his brother. anthony, the older brother, really kind of holds everyone together. even before we started taping, they had this ongoing joshing back and forth, big brother/little brother dynamic. you can imagine they have the trio missing. >> did you get a sense of their level of confidence in the system? obviously the prosecutors and the police moved very swiftly upon the video. he's been arraigned, charged with murder, denied bail. but that's not the end of the process. >> it wasn't the beginning of the process either. i think a really important point made by the family was that in the first four days of this shooting, the cooperative, proactive police

we don't know why walter scott took off running. that will be a key gap that has to be filled in this case. another new development. we just interviewed another witness. ex- exclusively interviewed another witness. gwenn nichols was in the neighborhood. she did not witness the actual gunshots but she said they scuffled a bit and she saw walter scott go into the vacant lot. she described to us how she felt when she heard the gunshots. >> i started to cry. i'm sorry. i started to cry because i thought about the altercation with my son and it could have been my son. it could have been any one of these young black men around here. >> reporter: she referred to her son there because she says her own son had his encounter with the north charleston police that was similar. her son was pulled over for routine traffic stop and they ended up roughing him up a bit and arresting him. she could relate to what happened to walter scott on that day. john and christine. >>> brian, an interesting look at the video. this morning, we are also hearing fr

was it the taser that he claimed walter scott ran off with? then there's the moment when he drops an object he walks back to walter scott's lifeless body and then he drops an object next to mr. scott's body. it appears to be the same object that he picked up closer to where the altercation took place. was he in fact planting evidence? a short time later, he picks something up from the same side of the body where he dropped that object. perhaps, the same object he had drop dropped moments before. we'll look at that night, any and all of it could have a major impact on the case. in the next two hours, we're on for two hours because there's an awful lot of angles to cover on this story and an awful lot of people to talk to. criminal justice experts weigh in on what we see but first, martin savidge on all the major developments up till now. >> reporter: one day after releasing this shocking video -- >> no justice! no peace! >> reporter: north charleston is now feeling the fallout. >> this has been a reality that has been in north charleston police

they were doing a special tribute for walter scott there. at that point faden came up to one of the family members and said there was something very important that i have to show you. that's first time that they then saw and heard about that video. >> extremely important for sure the scene behind this story. thank you very much. i want to go now to walter scott's brother, anthony scott joining us along with the scott family attorney. anthony, first, i want to say how sorry we are for all your family is going through certainly the loss of your brother but seeing it playing out again and again. we're thinking you have as you go through this. i want to ask you if i can about that encounter. as you went down to the scene of the shooting and he told you he had this video. we just heard from him for the first time tonight. describing the moments before the shooting where him saying the police officer in the case had control. he didn't appear to be under threat for your brother. i wonder if he told you the same thing when you spoke with him and wha

taser which he said that walter scott had taken from him. the uncovering of this video appears to have radically changed the course of the investigation of this police shooting in north charleston. today the officer in this case was booked on a murder charge. the officer's name is michael slaying slager. he was arrested and charged at the north chaurls ton police station where he works. we have seen a string of police involved shootings recently where officers have used deadly force against unarmed suspects and many of those cases the officers have not been charged and that is part of why they have become such high-profile things the case in ferguson, missouri with the killing of 18-year-old michael brown, the case in staten island new york with the killing of eric garner. those police officers and both of those shootings were not charged. in the past few months though we have also seen cases where police officers using force have been criminally charged for that use of force. in february was a colorado police officer who was arrested after

tonight is second killing in the video of walter scott.ation with the man of the first one who likely changed the course of justice. feidin santana is his name the bar baric shoothing the man over and over again. >> honestly i wasn't scared. i didn't fear anything. just, you know there was something i never imagined that would have happened and maybe that was the reason why i didn't why i wasn't scared of this. >> he said he wasn't scared then. he is concerned for his safety now. we'll talk about that. much more

but walter scott gets about 25 feet away, four seconds later and eight shots, walter scott drops to the ground. he is later pronounced dead at the scene. and then one interesting piece, if you look closely at the video, at one point you see slager go back to where the initial confrontation had taken place and dropped something next to walter scott's body. it's not clear if that's the taser. then moments later he goes back and picks up that very same object. it is clear, john and christine, that this video played a dramatic role in these murder charges being filed against officer michael slager. john and christine? >> ed lavandera, thanks. this was a traffic stop for a broken or cracked taillight. now, on top of the state murder charges, officer slager faces an fbi investigation for possibly violating walter scott's civil rights. he's also likely to be named in a civil lawsuit planned by scott's family. they were outraged heartbroken when they spoke to the media last night. their lawyer called slager, quote, a cop who felt like he could get away with just shooting someone in the back. wa

this news conference called after the shooting death of walter scott. 50-year-old walter scott by northrleston parole man michael charles slagger. one announcement made at this press conference. >> the officer that was terminated. his wife is eight months pregnant and while she--he has been terminated the city will continue to cover the insurance on her for the baby until after the baby is born. we think that is the humane thing for us to do. and we're going to do that. >> so the mayor indicating that while the officer has been terminated that there will be a continuing of insurance coverage for the wife of the police officer, who is now being investigated by the state law enforcement agency sled its called in south carolina. the state law enforcement department that is now handling the shooting death of walter scott. we have standing by live with us jonathan martin, who was able to listen to that news conference in north charleston. do you know anything about who those protesters were, who were shouting during the news conference? >> you randall they're a group with black lives matter.

the paper got it from the lower for walter scott's family. i want to show you one more thing from the aftermath of the shooting depicted in that video. the officer that fired the shots reported that walter scott had taken his taser, or was trying to take his taser. after the officer shot and handcuffed mr. scott, you can see the officer afterwards jog back to another spot a few feet away where the tape basically started. the officer a researches toward the ground, and he returns back to where mr. scott is lying down, shot, be the handcuffs on. the "new york times" says he returns to mr. scott and drops an object next to his body, and it may be the afore mentioned taser. the uncovering of this video appears to have radically changed the case. today the officer was booked in a murder charge. the officer is michael slager. he has been on the force for five years. he was charged at the north charleston police station where he works. he have seen a string of police involved shootings recently. and many of those casings, the officers have not been

now the case of walter scott is very serious.y reason why we're talking about it to the extent we are is because there was a video tape. the black community has known for years these types of incidents happen. it's just the issue of the fact there has not been a video a tape in many instances. >> you talk about in your column statistics. you're seeing this. if you're a black american you're having more of a fear of being killed than if you were a white american. you say when you look at a washington state university study, they looked at participants who were in scenarios with different suspects some black, some white. that there's a bias they just automatically felt more threatened in the scenarios involving black suspects. you have black suspects who may or may not be guilty of whatever they're suspected of right? who are worried for their safety and don't feel they can trust a police officer. then police officers whether black or white, who are sensing more danger coming from black suspects right? >> yes. yes. i believe that a

saturday night, i'm walter perez. big story on "action news" is at rest of the man wanted for a brutal crime that rattled center city's business community. "action news" reporter kenneth moton has the full story, and joins us live from the police headquarters with the latest kenneth? >> reporter: walter, owner of the south carolina hotel told us khiry gay check with the family and was taken in custody about ten minutes after he arrived. the tonight federal investigators were able to tell us that when they went on the record, they say the man has been charged and their manhunt for more suspects, continues. word spread quickly on jeweler's row that police made an arrest in one of the most brutal incidents connect to the popular center city district. atf says agents and u.s. marshals took 31 year-old tiery gay in custody in the south carolina hotel friday night. nearly a week after a jeweler's row employee was kidnaped tortured and robbed by three men. >> it was great news because good that they got him, and it the will

what is it you want us to remember about walter scott? >> they took away a great man, great father, great son and a great brother. we can't bring him back. we need to make sure this doesn't happen to another family again. >> once again, i'm very sorry for your loss. thanks you to and your lawyer joining us from south carolina. thank you very much. >> cnn's anderson cooper also spoke with walter scott's mother. >> reporter: whether did you learn there was a videotape? >> it was the next day. >> when you finally saw it, i can't imagine what went through your heart. >> i couldn't really watch the whole tape. when i saw my son running and saw the policeman behind him, i couldn't take. his to turn away. i couldn't handle it. >> it is just heartbreaking. we will bring you much more of that interview later this hour on "cnn newsroom." >> for now we move our focus to the u.s. state of massachusetts. dzhokhar tsarnaev found guilty in the boston marathon bombing trial. >> it penalty phase will begin, jurors deciding whether the 21-year-old will fac

walter scott now a memory. in the meantime, we're also learning that the officer involved, michael slager, he's been charged with first-degree murder in this case. and he has now been separated from the general population in that jail. and that means he's in a cell by himself and is being monitored for his mental health. as far as the dashcam video is concerned, at first glance, it seems pretty routine, a traffic stop you may have seen before. and that is until mr. scott begins to run. the video i'm about to show you, it may give some answers to some questions that are looming over this case. but it certainly does not explain the biggest question, why officer slager chose to shoot walter scott in the back as he was running away. i want to show you the whole scene as it played out in front of officer michael slager's dash-mounted video camera. >> show me your license and registration card. >> [ inaudible ]. >> what's that? >> i got my license but -- >> let's start with your license. the reason for the stop is yo

it shows him shoot walter scott in the back.e that video says slager tased scott before he started recording. >>> dzhokhar tsarnaev has been found guilty on all of the 30 counts he faced in the boston marathon bombing trial. jurors must decide whether the 21-year-old will face life in prison or the death penalty. he was convicted of killing four people, three in the bombing and a police officer during the manhunt that followed. >>> the u.n. says more than 300 civilians have been killed in the fighting in yemen. it is urging an end to air strikes that target people forced from their homes. saudi arabia is leading a coalition of countries trying to drive out houthi rebels and restore the country's president to power. >>> the family of the victim in that fatal police shooting is grieving as they search for answers as to why he ended up dead. walter scott's mother judy spoke with our anderson cooper about accusations her son struggled over the officer's taser and how she knows in her heart that can't be true. >> when you were told t

walter scott's mother, judy, been speaking out. i talked to her tonight. obviously. she is in the deepest grief. yet somehow has also found the grace to say she forgives the man who killed her son. imagine that. jason carroll brings us up to the minute with the stormy conference that took place earlier today. take a look. >> no yujustice, no peace. >> reporter: north charleston's mayor and police chief interrupted by vocal and angry protesters. demanding answers after seeing the video that shows officer michael slager repeatedly shooting walter scott in the back. slager is in jail tonight charged with murder. the man who shot the cell phone video coming forward wednesday. he's feiden santana. he saw a struggle between slager and scott. >> down on the floor before i started recording. i know they were down on the floor. i remember the police had control of scott and scott was trying to get away from the taser. you can hear the sound of the taser. >> reporter: the video starts as slager and scott appear to wrestle over an object, possibly the taser. the vide

-- walter scott?evin: well, if you can get over your initial outrage, you have to command of the mayor for acting swiftly and bringing charges against the police officer. obviously the video shows that the police lied, and that is not uncommon for police to life. -- to lie. it is just lucky that there was someone there to film it. we have to ask the question about the officer's partner, but it is clear that the officer lied about what transpired in the parking lot, but at least the police department in north charleston acted swiftly. now they need to act on some reforms. they have got a population in north charleston that is 40% black, yet their population is 80% -- yet their police forces 80% white. we have got to serious about the policy on shoe to kill. we have got to get serious about whether or not we want x military as police officers. we need to take a serious look at just hiring people out of the military because they may have combat experience. well, serving the people is not combat. the poli

joy, you talked to walter scott's brother rodney who grew emotional talking about the things that walter wanted to do with his children. listen to this. >> all the things that my brother had planned to do and wanted to do. he was definitely a family man. we talk about him buying this big van, you know, and taking his kids to disney world. and now he won't be able to do it. >> joy you can see the pain this family's going through. >> absolutely rev. you know as a pastor you know you have a family home that's teaming with relatives and aunts and uncles and children and the house is full and in talking with both the brother and mom -- remember, this was the middle child. walter was the big brother to rodney and the little brother to anthony. rodney talked about them having a really close bond. they bathed in the tub together as kids. they were especially close and he said that he was extremely emotional at that scene. they are really broken hearted. so while there is some relief for this family rev, what you really felt in that home was a great deal of pain. the mom is a very religious woman

bring it back, and toss it near the deceased man, walter scott. he has been arrested and charged michael slager with murder. you get a sense of the act that he was giving to the lawyer, the press, and others. >> shots fired, subject is down, he grabbed my taser. >>> so the grabbing of the taser was the immediate response. if in fact what the video shows is him grabbing the taser and planted the evidence near him, it goes to the frame of mind of the officer about what he had just done. >> if you look at the video, there is a point in which he notices the person taking the video as well. he seems to look over and it's not clear whether he saw that person taking video or not, but it definitely appears -- and a second officer does come and kneel down over walter scott, and appear to attempt to render aide at that point. officer slager also points his -- what the representatives of the family are saying that for multiple days, the officer continued to tell the story that walter scott posed a danger to him. that he feared for his life, and walter scott

he shot and killed walter scott as he ran way from a traffic stop. slager said scott tried to grab his taser. this video shows slager firing eight shots as scott tried to flee. the man who shot that video stepped forward telling nbc news what happened before he started recording. jason carroll is in south carolina with latest. >> reporter: john and christine, feidin santana was on his way to work and he caught the struggle. he said the minute the two hit the ground he pulled out his cell phone and started recording. >> they were down on the floor. they were down on the floor before i started recording. they were down on the floor. i remember the police had control of the situation. he had control of scott. scott was trying to get away from the taser. the taser, you know you can hear the sound of the taser. >> reporter: scott's family calling santana a hero for coming out. the city's mayor and police chief actually faced an angry crowd at one point during a press conference. it is specifically when they were questioned about something that happened af

the killing of walter scott has been recorded.difficult from the vast number of deadly encounters by police. what's more here despite the fact police officers are public servants using firearms to protect the public the federal government does not track the number of killings by police. did you know that? that is where this website steps in. fatal encounters.org is keeping count nationwide and state by state. for 2014 it found that more than 1,100 were killed by a police officer. with me now, the man that founded and runs fatal encounters.org. he's the editor of reno news. and also author jack hicks. welcome to both of you. >> great to be here. >> thank you for having me. >> you got it to both of you. brian, let me begin with you. the obviously question is why not? why is there no official recordkeeping of deadly encounters with police in this country? >> actually the federal government has attempted to collect these numbers but never made it a priority to collect them and never had real punishments for the people that don't submi

funeral preparations under way right now for walter scott. but we begin with a huge story in the midwest here in the united states. clean-up under way right now after as many as 14 tornadoes ripped through the region yesterday killing at least one person. tornadoes were reported in iowa and missouri. but hardest hit was illinois where storm chasers captured some amazing video. >> look. there goes cars! >> what? >> i saw headlights go flying. >> [ bleep ]. >> he's over, he's over! >> oh, [ bleep ]. >> go, go, go! >> in illinois 80 miles northwest of chicago, a 67-year-old woman was found dead in the rubble of her home. every single home there was damaged and another 17 buildings destroyed. in kirkland illinois fire officials said responders searched for trapped residents. we're having a hard time sasz the assessing the damage because the trees were all over the roads and in rochelle -- >> the back wall of the building blew down and fell right on top of the two doors. had to be lifted up to get out. we couldn't get out. >> our car is over there

and what would the family walter scott have known without that video? late today that witness and that family came together. nbc's craig melvin was there, he joins us from charleston. craig, what was the meeting like. >> reporter: lester, it was sad and powerful. feidin santana, the 23-year-old young man that took the cell phone video of walter scott being shot, he first showed it to the family because he wanted the family to know precisely how it was their loved one died. behind me a short time ago, an emotional reunion. >> this is santana. this is feidin santana. >> oh, thank you, god. oh, thank you, god. thank you, lord. thank you, god. thank you. thank you, god. thank you. thank you. thank you. >> thank god for you. thank god for you. >> does this help put y'all at peace? >> glory, hallelujah. >> i just want to say thank you. i don't know how this would have turned out without the video. i just want to thank you. i don't know how much i could thank you more. i just really -- i'm appreciative. i'm grateful. i'm so glad that you had enough courage to

we take a look back at walter scott's life. >> walter scott now lives in our mind for the way he diedis family, the people who struggled for an imperfect world and his place in it. >> i had two brothers. i had two brothers. but now i have one brother. but out of my brothers, he was the most outgoing out of all of us. he knew everybody. >> that outgoing personality brought him to the u.s. coast guard at age 19. he served for two years until the coast guard says a drug-related offense led to an involuntary separation. scott received a general discharge under honorable conditions when he left in 1986. his family says the years that followed brought ups and downs. scott's first wife and the mother of his two older children died. scott remarried, had two more children. but that marriage ended in divorce. unpaid child support piled up and according to south carolina authorities, a warrant was issued for his arrest. that may be why, says the scott family attorney, he ran from officer michael slager. his brother says he was a huge dallas cowboys fan and was happy the last time the family was

walter scott's footage is from a bystander.is come to fruition? >> what happened was the family was given the video on monday and they immediately said we need to get this to the authorities in south carolina. there's a special law enforcement division that's investigating and they immediately gave it to them. they immediately gave them the copy and then within less than 24 hours you see charges. i have never seen something charged as quickly as this in one of these cases. think about ferguson. it was a long grand jury process that went on for a very long time. right before we were even able to post the video online they had announced that they had charged the officer and it really deescalated it locally. it's kind of an interesting thing here because the drama of what's going to happen to the officer is over. >> the family presumably knows who shot the provide, right? >> yes. >> did you have to verify the authenticity of this at some point? >> it was a difficult thing for us. so we got this video. it looks really interesting.

the driver was 50-year-old walter scott. what happened after he exited his car is the subject of the video. in the officer's account which he gave on saturday he said mr. scott took the officer's taser. moments later, the officer reported on his radio shots fired and the subject is down, he took my taser. the video shows mr. scott running as officer slager fires as many as eight shots. [ gunfire ] moments later in the next piece of video, officer slager instructs the victim to put his hands behind his back. the victim appears unresponsive. the officer then handcuffs him. officer slager walks away, goes back to the original spot, and appears to lean over the ground. finally in this final piece of video, you will see at regular speed, and then in slow motion, it appears to show the officer dropping something near mr. scott. this is the video of officer slager walking back to the victim in slow motion. the officer appears to drop the stun gun near mr. scott. that's the stun gun he had run back to retrieve earlier in the video,

>> will they be able to show he was justified in shooting walter scott as walter scott ran away? when is the use of deadly force by an officer against a fleeing suspect justified? that's the key question here. legal analyst paul callan is here, former homicide prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney. tom bernie, former nypd detective and now law enforcement consultant. this is porptd because it very much gets to the core of this pending case. paul, we could go real deep into history books and legal jargon. this gets back to a supreme court case in '85 that got to the key question of when is an officer justified in shooting a suspect who is fleeing. this is a burglary suspect that at supreme court got to. this is a traffic stop here. somewhat the legal basis? >> up until 1985, the doctrine called the fleeing felon doctrine was that, if you committed a felony and the police were pursuing you, they could shoot you down if you tried to escape. it arose from the middle ages when all cases were punishable by death. you could shoot somebody if they were a fell len or suspect pd
