defense attorney joey jackson. really? this is as good as walmart's got? >> it's very interesting. and the complaints, look at that complaint you showed me earlier, right? good stuff. here's the point. the point is this is where good lawyering meets bad publicity and bad public relations. walmart is a giant. it's huge. it's a major multibillion dollar entity, fortune 500 number one. but the lawyers, of course, in response to this, carol, they have to do that. why? they want to limit their liability. now, it may make good sense for them to settle this because, of course, us hearing and talking about this, the public is none too pleased that they're shunning responsibility. but at the end of the day, if you contribute to your injury your recovery is lessened by 2 amount of your contribution. >> so i will play along. because it is illegal in the state of new jersey not to wear a seat belt. so if tracy morgan did not wear a seat belt, he was breaking the law, i guess, right? >> not really. look, the reality is that certainly we should have seat beltings on in the state of new jersey. there's a

, authorities say he was a low-risk second offender. joining me is joey jackson, and cnn legal analyst sunny hostin. welcome to both of you. joey, what's going to happen at the hearing today. >> it depends whether he opens his mouth because in the event he doesn't, he'll be held in contempt of court again and taken out but at some point in time, carol, we suspect that he will speak and if he doesn't speak there's other people to attest to his competence. that's what it's about, are you competente enand understand the charges. today is arraignment, you're informed of the charges and the judge sets the bail conditions and the beat goes on to discovery, attorneys get the police reports, the information, the attorneys will make motions to suppress confessions and it will lead to trial eventually. >> this guy was so talkative, sunny, to police, and then he just totally shut -- was it because it was a female judge overseeing the proceedings? >> what we're hearing interestingly enough that he was upset that all the media was there, and that there were journalists there, and that the arraignment was

judge. issuing ln legal analyst joey jackson is in indiana and midwin charles joins me in new york. welcome to all of you. >> good morning. >> poppy, what do we expect in court today? well, what we expect is for the prosecutors in in lake county to officially bring these charges against 43-year-old darren vann. the the gary indiana police chief said yesterday in the press conference that he believes there is enough evidence against darren vann to charge him with first-degree murder ina the least three of these cases. police have identified four of the seven vice president, but three of them were so badly decomposed they still have not been able to make those identities known at this point in time. also important to note, did this cross state lines? and if so, the fbi will become involved. so you not only have people here, police here continuing to search in gary, indiana, hammond, indiana and you have authorities in cook county searching in these abandoned homes. >> joey, when will you expect charges in the other deaths to be filed against this man? >> that's the critical question

, joey jackson, our cnn legal analyst is with me, too. you were inside the courtroom when eric frein made his initial appearance in front of a judge. what was that like? >> i have never seen anything like it. there must have been 30 law enforcement officials in this small courtroom here from the state troopers to the sheriffs to police. everybody. just incredibly high security. the other thing that we saw just a short time ago was a -- the walk of the suspect from the front doors of this courthouse. i've never seen anything like it. you saw heavily armed police come out to secure the area. they brought mr. frein around. you heard the cat calls, you heard the applause as the officials spoke now. this is a man that they are worried somebody will try to kill, yet they want the world to know and there's a great sense of relief that they got him. mr. frein walked into court today, he looked thin, he looked pale. i can tell you his forehead, he had abrasions on the left side of his forehead, the left side of the bridge of his nose was cut and along his left cheek it looked like it was brui

joining me. mike brooks and also joey jackson. so welcome to all of you. a lot to get through. but first, just the facts. susan candiotti, let me begin with you. four people in the car. tell me who is in the car. you hear the woman, who we can't see on the phone with 911, give me more of the back story. >> this happened on september 24th, hammond, indiana, which is near chicago. four people in cars, you said. the mother, 7-year-old daughter, 14-year-old son, the son is the one who was rolling the video from the backseat. and in the passenger side is a male adult. it all started because of a seat belt. they weren't wearing their seat belts. and in the end, by the way, all that happened at the tail end of all of this is that the woman who was driving got ticketed for not wearing a seat belt and some other thing involving a license plate, minor. and he gets cited for not wearing a seat belt and additionally, i think it was failure to aid an officer because they wanted him to get out of the car. and resisting law enforcement. and that's how, in the end, all of this wound up. >> but alo

of jesse matthew's belongings have been taken away. >> brian todd and joey jackson, thank you very much. i appreciate it. the next hour of cnn "newsroom" after a break. >>> happening now in the newsroom, ebola in the big apple. ahead this hour, facts, not fear. what you need to know. how it happened and what doctors are saying this morning. plus, breaking

talk about that. dr. lauren green is a medical ethicist at ny,'s lanagain to medical center and joey jackson and peter goles, former director forever the ntsb, welcome. >> thank you, carol. good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm glad you're all here. peter, the ap obtained photos of the form that duncan filled out before he left the country, the form directly asks "have you taken care of an ebola patient or come into contact with bodily fluids of ebola patient in the last 21 days?" duncan checked no to that question and other questions. now we know that's not true because he helped care for his pregnant landlord's daughter who died of ebola. so peter, duncan lied. what could happen to him? >> i think the president of liberia made it very clear that you can have these kinds of rules, but if they're not enforced, they lose power very quickly, and it's up to each of the countries that are heavily infected to really enforce these rules and to show that they're willing to enforce them, and you know, she did the right thing. i think mr. duncan will face, you know, the prosecutors when he re

last saturday on an abandoned property. joining us now is criminal defense attorney joey jackson. legal analyst for hln. joey, thanks so much. let's talk about the suspect in this case. we know jesse matthew has been charged but only with abduction with intent to defeel in the case of hannah graham but now that we've remains do you think we'll see more charges filed? >> whenever in a criminal case you find the body to think and imagine her family you send your precious pride and joy off to the university of virginia, a wonderful institution and the issue then becomes how do you get justice if there is justice because she's dead. however, with the finding of the body you have what's called dna evidence. we know a lot about it. right? people watch "csi" and that's significant because what it does it provides a link i would suspect although they are skeletal remains authorities searched the body and choate c and anything in the surrounding area that could be valuable which could link a suspect and if it's jesse matthews would certainly be compelling and damning evidence whatever the dna. a

agree with joey jackson completely on the law. but here's why the dial moves for officer wilson. if the grand jurors are looking at this and they're saying you know something? this officer was attacked. he was attacked by somebody who tried to take his gun, who maybe was trying to kill him. they're going to give officer wilson the benefit of the doubt. >> in their heads -- >> in a subsequent encounter. maybe they're not supposed to do that as far as the law goes, but that's how human beings are, and i think they'll cut the officer more slack, and this moves the dial in his direction. it's not over by any means. >> you know the way juries work as well. >> two things. first, any lawyer can spin it in any direction. if you have paul arguing for the prosecution, obviously it's a different narrative he'll put on it. if you're arguing for the defense, the other. here's what it comes down to. in the event that it goes to the issue of state of mind, was he being attacked, officer wilson? was he scratched? beaten? swollen? that's one thing. but now at the time that he fired the shot, was it
