And we start with a moment to give us hope i finally got to meet Cj Ricin Person as he finally tastes freedom after more than 12 years behind bars for a shooting, he insists he could not have committed welcome to the lean. Im jake tapper in philadelphia and im going to start with some good news for once. Im in philly because there are major developments here and a legal case that weve been following for years here on the lead involving cj rice who is now a free man as of this morning, the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania officially considers ej rice to be legally innocent of the crimes he was convicted of in 2013, District Attorney Larry Krasner dropped all charges and exonerated him today. Now, you might remember me talking about this case on cnn and in an land iq magazine cover story in october 2022. Cj rice was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison, 30 to 60 years for 2011 shooting in which no one was seriously injured i know about the case because my dad, dr. Theodore tamper was cj rices pediatrician at the time and testified at court that it was medically impossible for cj rise to have carried carrying out this crime, shooting the victims and running away because cj rice at that time was recovering from surgery since he had been shot three weeks before. And his pelvis had been shattered. He could barely walk at the time much less run. Now it became clear from investigating this case for the atlantic and cnn that cj rice had an incompetent defense attorney. That Court Appointed counsel, sanjay weaver, who failed to bring up his medical records or pull his Cell Phone Data that would have confirmed his alibi who didnt challenge the complete concoction of conjecture that was the supposed motive for the shooting and on and on and on bad decision after bad decision. Now after following cj rices case and Fighting For Tj Races Conviction to be overturned for years with my father leading the way and an incredible legal team chat alleging the conviction i am happy to report that cha was finally released from prison in december jake. How about it . Its gone now. How about a its good to see todays ruling brings even more good news for cj, because not only is he out of prison, judge James Eisenhower granted him a Habeas Petition which overturns his conviction, drops all charges against against a cj rice forever clearing his name.

All of the money goes right to cj rise, so he can go to school and buy groceries and start or to rebuild his life. Here is a look now at Cj Races Story and how we got here finally, cj rice is free and exonerated and in the eyes of the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, innocence of the crime for which he served more than 12 years in prison. It has been a journey for years. My dad pediatrician, dr. Theater tapper, has been telling me about cj rice as former patient doing 30 to 60 years in prison for a crime. My father insists rice could physically not have committed. There was impossible in 2020, i took a look into the case and wrote this 2020 to cover story for the atlantic magazine, arguing that cj rice, it had inadequate counsel, attorney, who acted so in competently cj did not get the fair trial guaranteed him under the us constitution. The piece was called, this is not justice a philadelphia teenager and the empty promise of the sixth amendment. And today, the Court Granted the motion offered by philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, agreeing with Cj Rises Attorneys carl swartz and emilia max field, that rice was denied his Sixth Amendment Rights to effective counsel it would be a violation of my oath to retry a case. When we know that if you put all of the reliable evidence forward it doesnt establish proof beyond a reasonable well now krasner is office has acknowledged that the case handled by prior prosecutors was week from the start, that there wasnt much evidence at all no dna, no weapon, no footage no solid unimpeachable witness tying rise to the September 2011 nighttime shooting and wounding of four people this is the position where one of the shooters was the one that was aidid as cj rice the night of september 25, 2011 . The eyewitness testified that he was 20 feet away 20 feet away, however, for what actually put them like here this is 20 feet away where i was before although over there. Thats more like 50 feet away, witnesses said they saw the gunman running, but my dad had examined these 17 cj rice just five days earlier and he insisted cj was in no condition to run he had staples and his abdomen over a approximately at eight or nine inch surgical incision from his breastbone straight down. As far as you could go . Thats because three weeks earlier cj rice had been shot three times in a case cj says was mistaken identity. There was no way this young man five days after i saw him was running anywhere, let alone walking fast. The one eyewitness who fingered cj had known him for years she initially and repeatedly told police she could not identify the gunman as one of rice is attorneys jason kadesh told me, i think it was approximately 20 hours where she had spoken to at least i think it was three different officers and he never said this is somebody thats in my neighborhood, but overnight police claimed are confidential informant, told them that rice may have been involved so at the then showed this photo array to the eyewitness and she then fingered rice. When rice was named as a suspect, his mother, crystal cooper, met him at the Police Station so that he could turn himself in and then detective two goods arm to help them walk up this theres cj racist family could not afford Legal Counsel so Court Appointed private attorney sanjay weaver, took his case and weaver, who died in 2019, did not provide cj with an adequate defense. A source in the das office tells me that the witnesses testimony would not stand up to any competent defense attorney. She stated that mr. Rice had grades hanging down around im just face with a hoodie tied up around it when we looked at the arrest photo for mr. Rice, he actually had cornrows, so there was no way that he would have been able to have Braids Hanging down the side of his face, though perhaps tellingly it had been in long braids in the photo from the Police Lineup that the witness was shown from a previous drug charge. Another part of the das review that help them arrived at this decision. Cj had told weaver over and over to get the location data for his cell phone. It would prove that he was at the time in west philadelphia, not the South Philadelphia site of the shooting. But sanjay weaver never got that data nor did the police after the trial. Cj started telling me, oh, she should have did this. I told it to do this. She didnt listen to me. The das office reviewed old recorded Courthouse Phone Conversations and heard Cj Rice Begging his mom to push sanjay weaver, his attorney, to get those Phone Records to prove his alibi if this case had occurred yesterday, it is very likely that it wouldnt be so marquee that we would have Phone Records that would geolocate to exactly where mr. Rice was are pretty close to exactly where he was. There were any number of hideous omissions in Sanjay Weavers in competent defensive cj rice, attorney Carlos Schwarz zeroed in on weaver, allowing into evidence the concocted motive that this was a retaliatory shooting for when cj rice was shot, Though Neither The Da nor the philly police had any evidence connecting the two shootings. The case has consumed my fathers life for the better part of the last decade. And though both he and cj rice are celebrating today they believe that the prisons are packed with others just like him. There are probably ten or 20 or 40,000 people who were serving time behind bars or not guilty of the crime for which they are serving time. I sat down with cj oneonone. If you days ago for the First Time Since hed been released, we talked about what it felt like to finally be free and the letters he exchanged with my dad while he was behind bars its good to see you because it cej youve spent almost 13 years in prison. Has it feel to be out . Amazing he said the air tastes sweeter. Air tastes sweet are the sunshine different as a different Warmth Affiliate A sudden, as a free man, as can put it in a worries. So these ladders from my dad, did you look forward to getting them . I did. Yeah, i did. Like a lot, really. Yeah. Because its a constant. So you get used to constants in jail most of them are demeaning or not so personal but a letter with ink on it from somebody on other side of the wall thats personal. That makes you feel human. The care and concern as a father had for me, it was genuine my dad always says that we dont have a Justice System. We have a legal system, but theres no justice necessarily i can attest it. It i can attest it. It you can see much, much more of this story. This sunday night, were going to tell it all documentary style on Anderson Cooper coopers, the whole story.

Hes out of prison. His conviction has been overturned. He has been fully exonerated, but he did not do this on his own. In fact, his legal team, Carles Sports and emilia max field, foremost perhaps among them have been fighting for cjs release for years along with a team of other attorneys. And finally, today, justice has finally been served in the cj rice case. And with me now are both Harlow Sports and Amanda Max Field to both of you . Congrats graduations on what you achieve today, emilia, let me start with you. You were with the Innocence Project. Youre now with the exoneration project. Cj is out of prison. His conviction has been overturned. How does this moment feel for you as an attorney . It feels great. I think the primary thing im feeling right now is relief, honestly, but i am really thrilled for cj, as you know, as well as anyone, jake cj has been fighting for this for more than 12 years for almost 13 years. He has really kept this fight alive and been at the center of all of this. So im just its really happy for him that hes gotten this outcome and that he can move on with his life now. And karl, youre the captain of the ship here. That got his Habeas Petition filed and granted. Cj can now pursue having his record for Attempted Murder expunged. What is that process like . How soon . Nor are you going to start doing it . How quickly going to be expunged but its pretty straight. You know what jake you know, it was a big ship a credit is also due to nail them, sank v of the pennsylvania Innocence Project and don varelli former solicitor general, and Ginger Angeles and anders and we shouldnt forget them. This was very much attached to the expunged absolutely. Expunged should be should be pretty straightforward and fairly routine and certainly warranted and we will go about the business of getting that done as quickly as possible. Its not terribly involved amelia, today at the District Attorneys press conference District Attorney krasner he would not say for certain whether cj was innocent or not innocent. Is that typical of this type of thank yeah. I think you know, obviously, i cjs advocates as his attorneys, we have a very different perspective on this this is typical legally as a legal matter, cj has been exonerated. He is innocent and also factually, he is innocent as well. The das office in deciding not to retry this case, did a very thorough reinvestigation, perhaps the investigation that should have been done from the beginning of this case. And its important to note that it turned up no inculpatory evidence against ej. And in fact, only lead to more Exculpatory Evidence. I think an important point to make here is that this isnt a case where we have a Dna Profile Proving scientifically that someone else committed this crime. But that does not mean that cj is not innocent. That does not affect the import of this exoneration for him and for others like him in the criminal Justice System most exonerations in this country look like this case and karl, a source in the das office told me that ultimately they concluded not only was the case against cj always weak, but they they think that the only reason he even went to prison is because his defense attorney, who has passed away was so incompetent. She actually helped get convicted his habeas relief. Hes out of prison because of your argument that he did he was denied his us constitutional right to a Legal Defense to competent defense how rare is that . I mean, i have as you know, from when i covered the atlantic story and you know, better than i i mean, people have been drunk at a trial. Desperate Defense Attorneys drunk at a trial arrested on her way to trial, falling asleep during the trial and higher courts still said no, no, thats fine. Thats adequate representation to be granted. Habeas relief for this doesnt happen very often. Its too rare, jake and you know what the limitations over the past decade or so that have been put on habeas proceedings and habeas representation makes it even rarer. And thats really regrettable, especially what weve learned good about Exculpatory Evidence being. The prosecution has a responsibility and in many jurisdictions, they dont take it very seriously. And often evidence of innocence, Exculpatory Evidence is not uncovered until well after the trial, and thats just the fact of life and its not the defendants full in many cases, there was some such evidence in this case as well and the more you limit the ability to develop that evidence after the fact the more innocent people spend their lives in jail or even worse and thats been the trend lately in our jurisprudence and its, its very regrettable at a great cost. I think crosswords and emilia max field, just an honor to know you both. Congratulations again on this amazing legal work. Thank you, jay.

Sunday at ten on cnn and our worldline, we are all witnessing a failed state right on the doorstep of the United States in haiti, there is no Effective Governance permanent nor any semblance of real law and order. Instead, there are Machete Wielding militia. Militia is battling gangs in an orgy of chaos and violence. Cnns david culver is there and he is one of the only western journalists reporting from the capital of portauprince david. Were just minutes ago, police wrapped up a clash with gangs. Now not far from where you are, what can you tell us about this about three miles from where we are, jake and we got an Early Morning wake up from a Police Source saying that they were gangs the attack in to affluent neighborhoods and a Higher Elevation area. And thats unusual because usually thats an area that is able to remain relatively safe and block off a lot of the gang act etivity well, not this morning. They came in and we know several people were killed. We have some video actually that we just got in and some of it is graphic. But this shows you the aftermath and we had to, of course not show some of the even more disturbing aspects of it. And that is several bodies that were lying on the ground there and that just shows you just one of these incidents that it on a near daily occurrence and are increasingly happening here at because of the gangs feeling like they can get more and more control over this capital city. Meantime, police, they are feeling strained. Their morale is broken. And even Police Stations are no longer safe Police Stations like this one here, Imported Brands are named targets for gangs they feel like as soon as they can get old of a stage like this, they can then take sees, you take control of much of the community, and theyve tried coming after this when many times reinforcements have been built up, not only because of the pleas, but because of the community, theyd go barricades all around here for the Police Station to function properly . They need to allies on the community and to have these almost vigilantes building a lot of the barricades to keep out any game hey, members. And jacob was really interesting when we were in that Police Station, a couple of the folks who were in Holding Cells where reaching out to us and the commander said, of course, you can talk to them. They were saying how they feel that they are in a more dangerous place because theyre behind bars in what is a major target. And that is a Police Station. And yet they also say that they too are dealing with the humanitarian aspects. And that is no food they have to rely on their family to come bring them food. And they say at the same time, they feel like theyre watching police losing a battle here and police are struggling across the city right now, relying in heavily on the community, jake and even in the incident that happened early this morning, we know about an hour ago, the community took justice into their own hands a few blocks from where im standing they executed a suspected gang member in the street how i mean, its just unbelievable how might want even attempt to begin to resolve this and i asked a lot of the folks here, what is it that will bring stability to your country into the capital city at this moment . And you have some who will say in a vague way, its going to take an outside force. Now, foreign intervention has a really fraught history here. And so they are sensitive to that and rightfully so but at the same time, they realize at this point their own police force is relying on the community, that community is holding this up on their own and neighborhood by neighborhood is basically having to fend for themselves helps and so they need some sort of International Intervention that will go beyond aid. And well go beyond food, though those both are badly needed, its going to take a Military Force some sort. Now of course, the Kenyan Police officers are scheduled to deploy at some point its been delayed, but they say that International Mission is crucial now, more than ever to bring any sort of Stuff Ability and what is a worsening crisis, jake students, david culver in portauprince, haiti.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts dropping our world lead in a surprising twist, russian leader Vladimir Putin confirmed to cnn report and mentioned his biggest rival, Alexey Navalny by name. Putin said Prisoner Exchange negotiations that could have freed navalny were underway before the opposition leaders death in an Arctic Prison last month, one of several putin opponents who just ended up dead meanwhile, and unsurprisingly boot and secured another sixyear term, an election that the United States and European Union say it was neither free nor fair. Cnns Matthew Chance reports now from moscow as some brave russians attempt to honor navalnys last political wish with Courageous Acts Of Protest another flash of defiance in russias president ial vote the opposition called this midday against putin supporters gathering at Polling Stations across the country in a show of solidarity its what Alexey Navalny, russias late opposition leader, had urged and 40 suddenly done. Well, the russian Authorities Say that anyone who attends an unauthorized protests will be dealt with severely, but you can see its just after 12 00 Here In Moscow and a lot of people have turned out at this one Polling Station to cast their ballots its not a protest, but it isnt indication of just how many people here are heeding Alexey Navalnys call y become now to cast your vote because they come to an end. He wanted to see all these people come together and see you which other in person. Why did why sides come now at 12 00 . You know, why . I think everyone stay in this queue, knows why three days russians have been voting in an election which President Putin was always certain to win scattered acts of disruption of exposed division in several Polling Stations. Die was poured into ballot boxes ruin paper votes already cast across russia. Number of Voting Centers were hit with us and attacks but officials insist these deeply flawed president ial elections in which the opposition wasnt even allowed to stand. Were free and fair. In your logo compared to the last president ial vote in 2018, received one half as many complaints. Chief human rights commissioner tells State Television we his leg. I dont remember such active, deeply monitored elections here. But the defiance of some russians it has also been exceptional simmering discontent in the kremlins tightly controlled russia. Roughly boiling up to the surface which eight tonight, the newly reelected russian president has been attending and extravagant concerts in red square in moscow to mark a decade since crimea was annexed from ukraine. Ukraine, it took to the stage to a rapturous reception from a specially selected crowd. But independent Election Monitors here say the Landslide Election Victory is just one. Failed to convey the real mood of russians and to allow them to decide on russias future independently and freely. Jake, back to you all right. Matthew chance in moscow. Thanks so much. Lets keep up the conversation on this now with the new yorkers editor david remnant, who has written about putin extensively, in addition to authoring the Pulitzer Prize winning book, lenins tomb, the last days of the soviet empire, david, good to see you as always. Why do you think putin chose to invoke navalnys name and bring up this prisoner swap discussion. Now well, he wants to make it seem like it was a terrible accident and there might have been a Prisoner Exchange now maria pevchikh, whos woman, who is very close to the Navalny Circle Did Go On on, on youtube and say there had been such negotiations. But she felt in the Navalny Circle feels that navalny in the end was murdered because putin couldnt bear the thought ive releasing navalny and seeing him cause him further political trouble in the future. So its a very different interpretation yeah, it is, sir. Sure. Remarkable how many of putins political opponents just happened to end up dead . By israel from stasis right its not a recent development. People have been ending up dead for a very long time. He has been in power as you know, almost as long as stalin and obviously the death count is not nearly as high as under stalin. Hes been much more strategic about the way he uses Political Prisoners and assassination but its extraordinarily effective in the modern age when coupled with things like modern uses of propaganda and the internet navalnys widow, Yulia Navalnaya spoke a day after his death. She was at the munich security conference. She said, justice for navalnys death will quote come soon do you see any signs especially given this Sham Election that putin will pay any price at all for navalnys death i think when Yulia Navalnaya, extraordinary woman a brave woman was talking about justice coming soon. She was not speaking in the same terms as, you know, 24 hour news she was talking in historical terms and terms of Putins Mortality to be quite, to be quite frank and the hope there is that justice will sooner or later come to the russian people and democracy will develop. But i think she was speaking in historical terms and not in the terms of immediacy that the word sun might indicate do you do you think that there will be justice relatively soon however, you define that . Well, i think right now we should ask ourselves that. Right now we have a us congress who cant bring itself to pass a supplemental bill quite yet to help the ukrainian people who were invaded two years ago, who were on a terrible situation now, the Ukrainian Military circumstances markedly different and worse than it was year ago. We are quite possibly about to elect an authoritarian to the presidency of the United States, who, on a regular basis shows his admiration for Vladimir Putin and his willingness to quote unquote, let him do whatever the hell he wants to do so its a question maybe that we should be asking ourselves is acutely as anyone else fair enough. When it comes to ukraine a reporter asked biden yesterday to respond to a french president emmanuel macrons comments about potentially sending Ground Troops to ukraine take a listen to his response. But she was more than anything is possible in the modern world. But ive already said this and it is clear to everyone that this will be just one step away from a fullscale World War Three putin added, hardly anyone is interested in this. You think putin is essentially saying, try me i think, putin has said try me and has, and he has waived the Nuclear Saber more than once in the last couple of years, never so dramatically as the other day on the other hand, i should say that i dont think macrons rhetoric was in line with the thinking of joe biden and Everybody Else in nato. That was a bit of loose talk. So far as i can see, and maybe maybe quite reckless nato needs to be coordinated. Its a very, very difficult thing. These are all Different Countries with different policies and views of nato but i think that what macron had to say there was well out of step with what youre hearing and other foreign capitals and in washington on the matter of our own president ial election. Do you anticipate putin is going to try to disrupt the election, at least with propaganda as he has before. I think so. And i think hes very clever at it, even when hes not using something very sophisticated, he was faced with the microphones not long ago and asked to who do you a favor biden or trump. We all know what the real answer to that is. But he said biden because hes more predictable somehow and hes jerking us around. Hes hes a master at this game and he does it. His kind of a dead way. But anybody with any knowledge of the way russian propaganda has worked for years now knows that that plays into the direction. And to the advantage of donald trump, who put and quite rightly sees as someone who is willing to give him a very wide berth and even admires him, admires him. And in fact, in some ways, models himself after him. So of course i expect putin to do one thing or another and use the tools of modern media and propaganda to do what he can to help the effort but that said, do i think its going to be decisive . I think the American People are going to be decisive in their, in their judgment. And right now, the polls, insofar as they can be trusted, are believed, are pretty ominous and we need to wake up to that new yorker editor david remnant, always good to have you on, sir.

Previous recipients include Cnns Van Jones and chef jose andreas. They were the inaugural recipients of the prize in 2021, as well as singer and philanthropist dolly parton in 2022, Bezos Sanchez did not give out the award last year, and joining us now is one of this years recipients, Retired Navy Admiral william mcraven. Add row. Congratulations on the award. Its good to have you on. You said you want to use the gift to focus on educating the children of veterans who were kia Mental Health for veterans, as well. As other helping to develop future Military Leaders through education obviously, we frequently cover the military and veterans on the lead. How will this award help those who serve . Yeah well, first, thanks for having me on jake. I appreciate it. And this incredible gift from Lauren Sanchez and jeff bezos is gonna go a long way towards helping veterans and their families. And as you point out, that while this is the early days of this award, ive just received last week, so were taking a hard look. At what our options are going to be. But the two main areas we hope to focus on are in fact, the Gold Star Children And Educating Goldstar children, in particular, as you know, ive been working with the special Operations Warrior Foundation for many years. My wife, georgeanne is on the board. And so i know the statistics when it comes to the nature of the fallen and the children and special Operations Community since 1980, weve lost over 1,300 killed in action or in training, and theyve left behind around 1,700 children. And the special Operations Warrior Foundation has already educated well over 500, but that that means weve got 1,100 still in the pipeline. So a portion of this money will certainly go towards helping with those children. And then well see how we can broaden that out to help the other goldstar children as well. And then on the Mental Health issues now, frankly, the veterans administration, the military Health Care System and does a a really good job of helping the active duty members and some of the retirees on Mental Health. But where there might be a gap, this is where i really want to focus some of these resources from this remarkable gift where might there be a gap well, so we begin to look at things like blast injuries. So youre probably aware as we as we look at the population of those that are in the case of the special Operations Community breaches that are exposed to these these blasts that we get from from crank enough demolition artillery menn, those that are exposed to these kind of Micro Concussions that happened as a matter of routine. I still dont think we quite understand completely the Science Behind that and the impact its having on some of our veterans. But we know of course that the Veteran Suicide Rate is higher for than the general population. And theres a lot of things that go into that. But i am concerned that some of these Micro Concussions and some of the blast victims from these kind of repeated blast, there might be an area there where we can focus some of that money as well as just brain performance. How do we help the veterans be smarter law . Hunger . We also work with the brain Health Project out of the University Of Texas At Dallas and we want to put some of the money towards their efforts as well so were working on a piece right now about an alternative treatment for posttraumatic stress. Were working on a segment from my show and i know that there are other there are other treatments out there for posttraumatic stress. And im wondering if thats something that youre interested in using this 50 million for. And also, if there are any that youre interested in helping to explore or investigate to see if through experimentation they can be worked on absolutely. I mean, this is an area. And again, the va is looking at pts the military Health Care System is looking at those. But where we can help. And frankly, a lot of those, of course, is making sure that were getting great return on our investment in these programs. So that were affecting as many of the veterans as we can in terms of helping them through these issues. So were going to probably put out a couple of weeks. Well put out a Press Release that talks about the way that veterans organizations and the organizations that are working with Mental Health issues or the children of fallen can contact us so that we can begin so look through the various opportunities and see where we can put some of these resources. All right, well, you know where to reach if you need somebody to help get the word out either on tv or social media, were always here for you, Retired Navy Admiral william mcraven. Congratulations.
