shemorry and his wife had taken some pity on the witness. and the witness returned to charlottesville with them to live with them for awhile. >> why is it someone you hang out with a bar in new orleans for a few days suddenly becomes your roommate thousands of miles away? that suggests, perhaps, that there's some void that needs to be filled, but again, i think of the temptation in these cases is to try and come up with a veneer of rationality. >> the couple doesn't intend to remain in charlottesville. patrick quits his job anticipating a permanent move to new orleans. >> they come and told me that they was going to move to new orleans. they was going to sell everything and go to new orleans. they was going to open up a restaurant down there. >> in the interim i believe they developed more marital problems, so that plan disintegrated. >> as the marriage resolves, it's a stream of parties. >> it does sound like at some point both of them engaged in some extramarital sexual relationships. >> eventually starla returns to new orleans alone. movi

new witness. a woman comes forward saying she saw the traffic stop and scuffle that led to the deadly police shooting of walter scott. she talks exclusively to cnn this hour. >>> dash cam video. authorities are releasing previously unseen recordings that captured key moments of the incident. we are expecting to get it any moment now. will it shed new light on the shooting? >>> deal doomed? iran's supreme leader now calling the u.s. version of the nuclear agreement lies and vows to never open military sites in iran to inspections. will the man who chants death to america scuttle the historic deal? >>> and runway break-ins. from climbing fences to cars on the runway a disturbing new investigation reveals how many times people have made it past security and into sensitive areas of u.s. airports. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> we're following breaking news. a new witness account to that shocking police shooting in south carolina. a woman who saw the moments leading up to it now

it went on forever. >> 132 witnesses is a lot of witnesses and in this type of case. if you're talking about prosecuting the world trade center bomber that's different. this is 439 exhibits? that's overwhelming for jurors. but the prosecutors use it like, folks, has to be guilty. look how much stuff we have, even if the stuff is benign. >> how do prosecutors get their job? >> usually right out of law school and they interview some work up. these are senior prosecutors people who decided i'm not going into in the private sector. >> career prosecutor. >>hat's correct. >> so the jury is still out on aaron hernandez. 'nine hours tuesday and wednesday and whatever they've done today. history tells us they'll be done by the opened the day on friday. >> if he gets convicted of the top count, the judge sentences him immediately. there's no argument. it's mandatory since there's no death penalty, so -- >> then seive about appeal. >> right. it's very -- usually a gap, but here it's like guilty, life without parole-bye, and it's over. >> goodbye mr. hernandez. >> correct. >> ira

there is this witness.edia didn't know about him and public didn't but police knew it right away. they've been talking to him from the beginning. in some ways there's a lot that happened quickly here once this video came out, jim. officer slager was arrested immediately and charged immediately. no grand jury here as we saw in other cases. other things appear to be taking some time. what the do you think that investigators will want to get from this witness? >> so there's really kind of two phases to this. immediately after mr. scott ran from the car, the first responding officer to the scene of the traffic stop would have wanted to ascertain whether that person in the car was a potential victim. uncertainty as to why the driver would have fled from the car. was that passenger a suspect in some crime that he had had yet detected. is there a body in the trunk? once they figure that piece out and it starts to settle down, they'll want to know what did that passenger see so the line of sight issues, in other wo

mayorkas is a witness and, as i said i have not known witnesses to come before this committee and do anything but tell the truth in their opinion. so he's operated for a long time in a professional capacity and i'm convinced that he understands it. i look forward to his sworn testimony. >> and the gentleman is correct that under the federal law it is a crime to lie to congress, and no one knows that better than a public integrity prosecutor in washington like myself but the formality of this practice as done by most other committees and this one has an investigative role, i think we have not done it enough. the formality of this practice reminds all a of us that both committee members and our distinguished witnesses of the importance of the testimony that's being offered here today. without further discussion the chair now recognizes the deputy secretary mayorkas to testify. >> thank you. compare man mic. >> caller: ranking member thompson distinguished members of the homeland security committee, thank you for providing me with the opportunity to address you today and to answer quest

because a black witness says this happens every day.says -- not that people get murdered but people act inappropriately. we need tape to prove it that's a problem for consult we need tape in order to prove it. so the bigger picture is not what they do in this individual case but how we can stop black people from dieing beforehand how we can understand mechanisms of justice so police don't move with impunity when these things happen. great job, south carolina arresting a guy caught on tape murdering somebody but let's see what we can do beyond that. >> marc lamont hill. l.z granderson, appreciate it. >>> nothing like breaking the ice with the whole world watching. president obama and cuban leader raul castro could meet face to face this week. >>> the two leaders are scheduled to attend the sum mitd of the americas this panama. white house officials say president obama plans to interact with castro in an effort to improve u.s.-cuban relations, this as the state department recommends removing cuba from the state sponsors of terrorism list.

saying that his client witnessed a murder.ting for "rolling stone", glad to have you joining us mark geragos and judge alex ferer. was this smart for his attorney to say that he witnessed odin lloyd's murder? >> well, i don't know if it is smart, but it may have been the only move they could have played. because you can ask the jury to believe certain things is possible, but the more you ask them to accept it, the less it is to accept but maybe the blunt at the scene with the dna on it is maybe they smoked before they went to the scene and somebody else dropped it there, and the shoe print there, maybe it was not his shoe, and the casing, and at some point, you will lose the credibility of the jury and whether it was smart or not, i don't know, but you get to point where you don't have a reasonable argument that you kcan make, and then you take the best shot that you can. i don't think it is a good argument, and on the video we see that he comes back from the scene, and if you believe the defense attorney that he is a just a 2

do you believe you're witnessing murder in that video? >> it's a clear cut of murder. i applaud the police department for coming out quickly and arresting him and charging him with murder. >> paul i want to ask you as well, you've tried a lot of cases like this. there's another detail to this video. after scott is shot the first thing the police do when they come up to him and not apply medical care put pressure on his wound, they handcuff him. >> i found it to be disturbing. i'm a former had had prosecutor. you're asking harry about people dropping or cops dropping guns. well there are a lot of stories about cops carrying a second gun to set up a scene to make it look like self-defense. as an internal affairs officer i'm sure you saw situations where that happened. here this looks like a classic example of that. it's followed then by you have this man on the ground who's been shot in the back five times. can you imagine the pain that mr. scott was suffering and his arms are dragged behind him and he's handcuffed. >> inflicting pain. >> maybe causing his death even soo

in a moment we'll hear from that witness who recorded it all. but first we get the latest on a tense day here from nbc's gabe gutierrez. >> what do we want? >> justice! >> when do we want it? >> now! >> reporter: today in north charleston the anger boiled over. >> black lives matter! >> this has been a horrible tragedy within our community. >> reporter: the mayor announcing that officer michael slager has been fired after being charged with murder. now the city will also buy body cameras for every officer on the street. the contentious news conference interrupted by protesters multiple times. >> no justice! no peace! >> reporter: what police could not answer was why in the video slager retrieves an object that had fallen on the ground. it's not clear whether it's his taser. and appears to drop the object next to scott's body. also not clear why the video doesn't show officers performing cpr when the initial police report said they had. >> there are questions that i have in my mind that i can't answer right now. >> reporter: they are also questio

the witnesses say he walked up. he had a backpack and a roller bag, and before anyone around him knew what was happening, he had taken out a gun. they heard a gunshot, and then realized that he had shot himself. now, initially there were reports of shots, plural. shots fired at the u.s. capitol but police now tell us that there is only a single shot fired by this man killing himself. law enforcement officers did not fire any shots. you are looking at that roller bag with the handle. because he was carrying immediately lockdown. you see an officer there in a bomb protective suit. they assumed the worst, and locked everybody who was in the visitor center under the capitol. you enter that on the other side. they locked it down closed traffic off for several blocks but ultimately found nothing harmful. the capitol police said it was never a second weapon found. they haven't told us what was in the roller bag, but we assume it was just the man's personal possessions. there were no other hazardous materials, we're told in

behind, a witness he would never harm., did that mean anything to you? or would that mean anything to a jury? >> certainly. it meant that the person that had killed the mother, we felt, cared about cassidy. >> reporter: fiona childs took the stand. prosecutors pressed her about a life insurance policy jason arranged. >> it did raise a red flag to me. >> reporter: and michelle had questioned. >> that she brought up specifically her life insurance. >> she brought it up several times, asking me didn't i think a million dollars was too much and did they really need that. >> reporter: after michelle died, fiona found out the true amount of the policy was actually $4 million. >> i was just, like, in total shock. like that is incredibly excessive. >> reporter: and prosecutors also told the jury about civil lawsuits against jason, brought by michelle's mother and sister. one was a wrongful death case filed in 2008, a year before he was charged with murder. over the defense's objection, court clerk loren freeman testified about tha

to witness an officer gun down mr. scott in cold blood in the fashion and with the heartless -- the heartless nature that he did would lead i believe anyone to suspect that there could be retaliation if you were to step forward and say that, yes, i caught it on tape and yes, you were wrong. so i understand how he feels and i do not blame him. >> jonathan, it would be nice to think confidently that we live in a country where if someone like this walks into a police station that says i have a video of one of your officers that just shot and killed someone, it would be nice to think there would be no possibility of that video disappearing after you handed it over to whatever officer took it there at the desk. but obviously, mr. santana didn't have that confidence. >> no. as you said in the interview, they said hold on a minute, and he got scared and within a minute he was back at work. he decided to get the hell out of here. it's understandable, he tried to do the right thing. he tried to go to the police after reading th

what kind of investigation are they under for what they witnessed?n they showed up on the scene, the first thing is to render aid to the victim. that's always the first responsibility for a cop. after that, is to preserve the crime scene. they're going to face an issue is what they wrote in the report. but they went there at the time of the shooting. the report's going to be in some ways -- they secured a crime scene and rendered aid and describe what happened -- >> so the video really becomes the star witness in this case. peter, i'm going to get you to weigh in on a picture i want to show the audience. you have to really be careful. you're about to see th moment that the victim in this case started to run from the officer. the officer, he has what might be a taser in his hand. you can see something black flying off behind him. we do have sort of a shadow box effect so you can see that black piece behind the officer that is moving. some people thought that's the actual taser gun. peter, you can also see in some of the images what looks like taser wi

a few hours before the murders, the witness saw three men in a cadillac escalade shouting obscenities and making inappropriate gestures to an asian man in the car behind them. >> she remembers it clearly. she thought it was a road rage incident and these three white kids were somehow racially attacking this asian kid. >> the witness identified the three men in the escalade as jason mcguigan, daniel swanson, and dustin wilson, the three murder victims. >> in a case that had so many stunning revelations, this one ranked right up there with it. >>> police in verona, wisconsin, were investigating a triple homicide. an analysis of the crime scene indicated that jason mcguigan's two friends were killed first as they slept in the living room. the killer took jason into the bedroom. there was some sort of discussion before he, too, was killed. in a search for suspects, police learned that jason mcguigan and his upstairs neighbor, todd vincent, got into a fight a week or two before the murder. >> mcguigan had slapped todd. todd retaliated by choking jason or throwing jason to the ground. jason

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 turn that video in. from the bottom of my heart, really

is accurate, a witness voicing over a cell phone video using the person's name. so clearly that person may or may not have seen some coverage of this case already and so i can't tell you whether that's an accurate witness account or not. where witness accounts turned out not to be accurate so i want to be clear but does this speak to anything in your perspective with regard to how this takedown may have happened and any possibility that the police may have come upon this situation and it could have been a terribly unfortunate confluence of circumstances? >> well, you know, the thing here ashleigh is this, is that the investigation is going to give us some real indication of what went on here. there's a lotsds are lot of speculation and rumor but until physical evidence and forensic evidence come together to give us some idea number one how did he end up on the ground, number two, how did he end up in that contorted type of posture he was in, clearly we hear him screaming for help, or he's in pain i should say, and then when they stand him up here, appear to be dr

witnesses from fort's theater were brought here. stanton questions. the union army soldier who knew shorthand sat at this table was stanton and took the first testimony of witnesses who saw john wilkes booth martyr of the president. -- murder the president. stanton spent the night here organizing the manhunt for john wilkes booth. he sent messengers to the telegraph office and from that office messages were brought back here. this room became the command post for the army of the united states under the secretary of war while lincoln was dying in the back room. stenson was one of lincoln's favorites, he had an iran will. lincoln called him his mars, his god of war. even though they did not get along well before the war, lincoln knew that he was his right hand. stanton was the rocky shore on which the rebellion broke. he was barking commands, sending orders to hunt for john wilkes booth on trains. orders went out everywhere. catch the assassin, find him. the manhunt which took 12 days began here before lincoln even died. once word got out that lincoln w

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 from the mother of michael slager, the officer behind now. holding back tears, she offered this to the family of the man her son is accused of murdering. >> i just -- i

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 accused murdering. >> i just have to let it be and hope god takes care of everybody involved. not only my family but the scott family. i know they are grieving. >> karen sharpe said her son loved being a police officer and murder is just not in slager's character. >>>

we are already witnessing it. right now comfortable and encouragement so i would his weddings in the catholic church. i do so as a civil authority registered in virginia but also as a cleric. in australia and in some other states, nations, the church is beginning to look twice, will they be able to do that any longer? we may not be able to do that any longer. we face a genuine specter of the state and dating the church and telling us what we can and cannot preach and what our sacraments are about. that is a threat to the fundamental religious freedom. >> we are about to live by c-span audience. i would encourage everyone who's watching this broadcast first place to thank you c-span. but never number two, go to defend marriage.org and let us know what you think about this pledge. >> let me just come down to me avert some of the legal analysis. let me give some of the practical implications. when you make this a federal law, then the implications are profound churches don't only preach. at bookstores, day care progr

we just saw you talking to a witness. this issue of there being video of freddie gray in the takedown when they are dragging him over or trying to carry him over to the police van. it looks like he cannot move. yesterday, the police union spokesperson attorney, said, oh, that is what these perps do. they have to be dragged because they won't walk. can you respond to this based on what you heard from witnesses? >> yes. and i interviewed perhaps 30 people from that community that was in that area that either heard the incident or witnessed the incident. the incident actually occurred under one of the police cameras that has been operating for years and that community, and they have been using that camera to make numerous drug arrests over the years. and for some reason, that day that camera did not work. it would have been directly over freddie gray's head. it would have recorded everything that took place. one of the things that people say one of the police dropped down on his neck with his knee. and from that point on, he

witnesses say no one spoke for a few minutes. and then the secretary of war said to the reverend, dr., will you speak? he said a prayer for lincoln. and then edward stanton pronounced words that were immortal and remembered wrong for the last 150 years. the secretary of war stood in this room and looked at abraham lincoln's body and said, now he belongs to the angels. we remember today as, now he belongs to the ages. but extensive research has revealed that it is best remembered by the stenographer, whose pencil broke -- his only lead pencil broke as who's writing down what was said in this room. but he remembers that stanton said angels. it is temperament how he viewed his faith, the world. he wouldn't have said something as profound as, now he belongs to the ages. i have no doubt that he's said now he belongs to the angels. people filtered out of the room one by one. stanton remained here alone with the present it. and at that point, he took a small scissors or a razor and he approached lincoln's body. and he cut off and lock l

frequently it backfires when you call a character witness. put somebody on the stand and they say he's a wonderful person, he's a college student, and he was studying hard and then you know what the prosecutor'ses cross-examination is, by the way did you know he was making a pipe bomb in his dormitory room. if you knew he was making a pipe bomb was going to use to kill an 8-year-old child do you think he would have good character then. how does a character witness hold up under that cross? it backfires. i wouldn't expect to see them making and scoring a lot of points with the character witnesses. >> unless one of the things that the statute provides for is the background and so sometimes people who know you, can speak to not only who you are and who they know you to be, but what have you gone through in the past that has affected your life. >> right. >> such a dramatic way. what is it in your background that would have been so compelling as to maybe make you into the person that you are. i think that may be the defense's focus as opposed to s

witnesses say they saw it coming in over the national mall. flying over the mall and over the capitol reflecting pool at about 20 to 40 feet. witnesses say it handed with a thud bounced once. that the man stayed inside. the pilot stayed inside the whole time that the capitol police were right there. they were watching this the whole time. the capitol police with guns drawn. came up to it and he did not get out until ordered to do so by the capitol police. now, we don't know exactly who he is. but we do know that a man named doug hughes, a 61-year-old mailman from florida has been posting things on a website and told a newspaper down there in florida that he planned to do this. his stated goal was to deliver mail to every member of congress basically talking about the need for campaign finance reform. again, we've not verified this is the same man. he has been very public about doing there. knew exactly the risk that he would be taking in doing so and violating the air space. according to the newspaper, he said no sane person would do what i am

witness. closing arguments are scheduled for monday. >>> this next story, has it all. danger, drama, high anxiety amid a nine-hour manhunt in one of washington, d.c.'s busiest suburbs. nbc's tom costello reports. >> reporter: it started just before 3:00 a.m. hospital patients and nurses hid in their rooms as s.w.a.t. team members searched for this man. he fled. suddenly adding to the confusion, police were pulled into another high-speed chase close by during rush hour. it was a female suspect in a pickup, one of her credit card on identity theft. crashing into pursuing police cars. then, they were back searching for their first suspect. >> this guy request just did a car jacking. >> reporter: he allegedly hid in a woman's truck and kicked out the backseat. she then crashed the car. >> i heard a lady screaming like crazy. >> reporter: he took off, dumped the first car and changed clothes. suddenly the suspect came running out of the woods. he took right down the street. finally after nine hours

the witnesses that are testifying are two his right. and very seldom during any of the testimony has he looked right at the witnesses. he glances at the jurors in the morning, but not intently when they come in. and at night when they leave. so this response from him, basically no response has been consistent with what he's been doing throughout this trial. and as i say, this verdict cannot come as a surprise to him. >> and to under score this we're up to 20 counts guilty just to update you guys. >> and we've been reporting on the screen that he's been found guilty of 19 counts. eligible for the death penalty. the headline here is this jury has found tsarnaev guilty of all counts -- all federal crimes relating to the boston marathon terror attack. >> up to 21 now. >> as pete was explaining the other counts we are still waiting to hear from regarding the later incidents, the shooting at m.i.t. some have been resolved and still we are still hearing. it is clear, a complete and total acceptance and vindication of the -- the prosecution say

: george witnesses said this chase ended with a crash right here at this intersection off of 476 here in folsom pa. it also began a lot further south across state lines. let me show you video. police in wilmington delaware investigated a shooting at second and monroe streets of two people happening about 6:00 p.m. two suspects in that shooting took off going north. confirming there was a police chase that led them there to folsom, pa. witnesses said the two suspects crashed at the intersection of mcdade and fair view and took off on foot before being arrested. people working nearby said it was a chaotic scene. >> they crashed here? >> right at the intersection exactly. the two suspects one went down at fair view and they caught him on foot in front of the store. >> we can confirm two suspects have been arrested. they are in custody here at the wrigley township police station. wilmington delaware police are working with them to learn more details about what happened with that shooting and more so what led up to the shooting of two people. we are live in folsom delaware county. nbc 10 n

but the prosecution chose to call ten witnesses.y the end of the day after ten hours of proceedings we really only completed one witness evidence. they were really going through it in that level of detail. there is interpretation that has to be done both for questions that are being posed to the witness, and also to the translating the witnesses answers back to the judge. then of course there is the matter of the captain and the ship's mate who will seek to persuade the judge that the charges that the prosecution wants to lay against them are unfounded. it's a big task and it will take considerable time much longer than we expect: the the message that they want to send out is you will be prosecuted if you persist in this activity. >> 228 migrants have been rescued today. nearly all of those are coast guard rescue. out at sea they claim they're traveling from libya. we joined one of the few libyan cost guard patrols. >> we're 30 newtcal miles off the coast of libya. now this is a tugboat that was made for civilian use that was taken

that means new witnesses and testimony which should be interesting.the things that judy clark brought up towards the end of the trial was that when you take a look at the evidence, the physical evidence of the bomb-making materials, you will not find a single fingerprint of dzhokhar tsarnaev. the only fingerprint was tamerlan tsarnaev's the older brother. it will be more of what we'll see, that the defense will point towards that evidence. >> what you are describe sounds like a second trial. how long are we looking at here. how long do we expect this to paying. >> i don't know. the first phase took 14 days right. and it was pretty intense, so emotional. gruelling for the jurors and the folks in the courtroom. 95 witnesses, total. again, the defense only had - they put up four witnesses and took a little amount of time, one day. they rested their case there. it will be interesting to see. it's on the defensive at this point trying to save dzhokhar tsarnaev's life. it may be interesting how long they take with presenting their case. could be the two wee

the captain and the ship's mate will actually face but at the moment they are still on the first witness think there are five or six witnesses they are hoping to get through, what it appears is the prosecution is taking the witness through the whole process, both not just the sinking itself but the whole migration process from the country of origin up through africa and at the moment we understand they have only just reached libya in the description. it's a closed ses session and not allowed in but the lawyers tell us. the realistic process is it may go to tomorrow and we were expecting it to be over in a matter of a couple of hours. >> eu has agreed to triple the search and rescue funding for the migrants and is that making a difference to italians who are bearing the brunt of this crisis? >> reporter: in a small way it will. it will lessen the load with the amount of italian resources that are necessary to save lives because bringing more war ships in means there is more boats out there. as far as actually moving migrants on and lessening the load on the italian centers which are curre
