You may be entitled to a portion of that money. All when 8085920400. Thats when 8085920400 Breaking News any moment, former president Donald TrumpsManhattan Hush Money Case is set to resume. It comes after an emotional dramatic, and productive day for of Jury Selection history was made after the court and panel the full 12 member jury along with six alternates. Cnn chief legal analyst and anchor, Laura Coates Is Outside Court for us. Laura, we have a jury. Right. So what happens when Court Returns from break because theyre not expected back in the room until monday thats right. And of course, remember monday is also pass over to begin, and i believe at sundown and theyre already been questioned when the jurors were initially questioned about scheduling, whether they would be able to not appear or they wanted to have some time off and keep in mind that wednesday is the scheduled days off as well . So it could be the case. And if Opening Statements began on monday, theres a probability that they would not return in front of a jury until at the earliest, perhaps even thursday. Now, remember inbetween there is a Gag Order Motion that includes the asked for and request for sanctions or some sort of a punishment for donald trump based by the prosecutions accusation that he had violated a gag or theyd been in place. I would wonder now that the judge, the jury would have been in paneled, was where to conditions will also be placed on this jury in terms of what they can consume from media and otherwise, i want to bring in evan perez here though as well. This conversation because he has been following this quote so closely along and having you know that this is going to be a very big moment here to have a jury and paneled and the trial. And just moments ago on the fifth 15th floor of this building, you had to press the United States have a full jury in front of them, right . I made for but for someone who has been attacking the entire process to sit there very closely, paying attention it appears especially today, he was paying attention, especially when there were people who who had opinions about him positive or negative . A look, i think this is a pretty impressive process that weve just witnessed, right . We had some doubts during the week laura, whether we were going to be able to get this jury done, this jury Selection Process done this week and this judge has we have to we have to say that has it can full control. And has made move things along very well. And his intent is for the opening arguments to begin on monday, but you saw today though . He gave the both sides the chance to strike jurors to get people off the panel that they didnt want but it was a pretty impressive process that we saw unfold there jurors who basically, some of them who had views about the former president but also said that they could put the, put those things aside two the judge, this the evidence impartially, and thats the goal of any jury pool, right . The idea of defining a jury based on what the ultimate outcome is acquittal or conviction is not really the process for the american Justice System is the jury of your peers and partiality as the goal and unlike the way in which the former president has approached this case, initially, he has been very clear. He thought, you could not get an impartial jury in manhattan that the political leanings that are assumed in manhattan being an overwhelmingly blue in their votes, that that would be the jury pool as well. And theyd based on decisions off of their politics. But we saw at least in todays its proceedings, a number of jurors and only who are from out of state, but also who were leading in favor of him politically that was actually, again, a reminder that new york is not what you think it is based on what you see on television, right that new york is more complicated places a lot of people here who are republican that are conservative who support some of his policies. You heard that from some of the people on this panel today, and so he has to at least know even if hes not saying it to the public, he has to at least know that he has a shot. Hes going to get some fairness from the from these people today. Youre also lawyers on this panel are many people for surprised to find that i think there is just a general assumption that if youre a lawyer, youre immediately taken out of Jury Selection. Tell that to lawyers who are so many jurisdictions, they tend to do. But and the reason for it, of course, is if youre the prosecution and the defense, you want your own words to be whats relied on. Of course, the evidence theres a fear sometimes at a juror would look to a lawyer and give undue deference to what they think about eight case. Also interesting here in new york, the alternates are likely aware there are alternates, yeah. Well, that change you think their ability to focus well, thats the thing. I mean, one reason why you dont tell the alternatives that they are the alternate is big. Is that this way everyone is paying attention equally and they dont know until the end, right . So in this case, these people already going in know this. And so thats the big, thats the big danger in Something Like this. Obviously this is a case of historical importance. So i think everybody is aware of whats riding on this but its going to its gonna be a challenge youre gonna be, theyre gonna be in there for weeks the living this case every single day. And of course, as you pointed out, i wonder as a lawyer laura, do you think that having that break after the initial so opening arguments, what additional challenges that pose because you have that break to a thursday for a couple of days that theyre not gonna be here. Yeah. As a prosecutor, i would hate to have my momentum broken up, but anyway, i want to add people can tenuously go through it, have their feelings and their emotions about it visceral or otherwise, and be able to stack the cases. Certainly ways that you can do this. We know we have a Press Conference happening right now. Theres im leaving that and disturbing event as a Press Conference right now, youve got took place, right . Of the street from the courthouse today. We just spoke to the mayor, eric adams, and we spoke to the Police Commissioner updated. And today youre going to hear from our chief for department, jeffrey maggi, who will update you on an incident that took place. Youre gonna didnt hear from The Fire Commissioner Kavanaugh on the Condition Fishing of all the people that were involved in medical conditions, and then well have our chief of detectives, jo kenny, and hell talk to you about the investigation of the incident today. So with that, ill bring up the chief for department, jeffrey magic commissioner shop. Good afternoon, everyone. Im going to try to talk loud you can l hear me. But at 1 30his afternoon, righthand Collect Pond Park which directly opposite of new rk county criminal court a100 centre street, with a trial of former Prident Trump is current taking place reserve. We observe a male walk into the park he walks to the center of the parkhen hes in the park, he starts shuffling around his clothes. Hes opens up a book bag from the book bag, he takes numerous pieces of papers, pamphlets out, his clothes, the pamphlets throughout the Park A Goodhe pulls out a canister, imports some kind of liquid on themselves. Or liquid we believe an accelerant. And he lights and self on firehe male, he takes a couple of steps why hes on fire. Then eventually falls onto Police Barrier and falls down to th ound hes on flyer. Another area in the parkway. Somebody Accelerant Spilt is also on fire civilians caught offices, members of the police department. They run into the park. They make efforts to put him out. They use their coats, they use fire extinguishers. Eventually, fdny response were able to put the male extinguish the fire and from that point, we remove him to Cornell Burn Unit where right now hes there in Critical Condition i just at this moment, ill let fly, commissioner talk about the condition of the male and the condition of people who also helped. And were witnesses over their commissioner as the chief mentioned, the victim is in Critical Condition, but is burn center this time, there l were four, three and my pd officers and one court officers. So for officers who had minor injuries from their exposure to the fire, theyre all fine. They are stable and they are green tags, which is minor at this time. We were on scene as the chief mentioned, ems to treat and transport the patient and we do have a fire marshals here helping with the investigation at this time good afternoon, everyone. So that the male thats involved in this incident, his name is Gonna Be Maxwell as a real low right . Hes a male, hes born in 1987, is drivers license indicates that hes from st. Augustine, florida well, we know from speaking to other witnesses and Family Members, is that he arrived in new york sometime earlier in the week. We have his car being in st. Augustine, florida on the 13th. So anyway anyway, between the 13th and today he arrived, we spoke to Family Members today, they were unaware that he was even in new york as a Phi Commission has stated hes at Cornell Burn Center right now and likely condition the accelerant that was used at appears to be some kind of alcoholbased substance thats used for cleaning. And thats all we have right now well, as one we go right down the line, left to right. So will decide whos going to take what not security, obviously more officers but listen mark after every incident, we have after action, and well talk about if weve got to add offices or not. But just so you know we had a lot of officers in the area it is open to the public, is still walk through the park. And so there was no Security Breach shadow eric, thursday why this occurs . The pamphlet seem to be propaganda based almost like a Conspiracy Theory type of pamphlet. Some information in regards to Ponzi Schemes. And the fact that some of our local educational institutes so our front for the mob. So a little bit of a Conspiracy Theory going on here. Rod go now, were gonna go through all august video. But what weve seen so far today, it appears that he walked from leonard street he entered the park, walked into the middle of pocket and committed the act. Donald miles very preliminary in dealing with the family so far, we just me notification to them tt the incident had taken place right now yeah thank you were very concerned. Of course, were going to review our security protocols. This gentleman did not breach the security protocols. The park was open to the public but of course, were going to look at everything and what the magnitude of whats going on around right here will reassess our security. What are federal partners i like i said, were going to go back. Were going to go back to the command, will talk to our federal partners and will make decisions if we need to tighten up security, maybe well shut down the park. This is something that will determine once we talked with all our partners with the Court Offices to make sure that with everything going on. The gravity of the event going on right now, we make sure we have ample security. I think it was the video minutes to get there, we get their hands on white presence here why its a Police Officer fired. So ill give ill give peace out to the fire commissioner, but obviously, were working in partnership with courts fdny all the City Agencies sees that that need to be ova are here. But youve got to also remember the parks open to the public. So there was no reason for anybody who already have a fires thing or so on standby, nobody knew that this guy was about the light himself on fire. So two minutes is a pretty Quick Response time to be able to get to a vehicle, get a fryers, things sure. Run around, get into the parking, start trying to extinguish this phi. All right. But as specifies at the wind resource, i let me see kevin, i just stole my Wishy Washy May want yeah. As they mentioned, you know, obviously well work with nypd to review what happened and if an Additional Resources are necessary, well replace them here. But typically for any kind of major 16 dirty event, which this is, we have additional Ems Resources on scene fire only sometimes theyre usually is not a reason for that as you typically would not have next to a public park, but we will work within my pdf i would have to confirm what time they responded. Well get back to you, but we do typically in any kind of high security event, have more Ems Resources on scene because there could be patients for any reason my name not everything that you see right here is part of the plant. Theres a large Security Plan for this. And trust me, when we had our meetings before this took place, we met with fdny ems. We met with our core partners. We met would seek for service so im not quite sure what else you looking for yeah ems, ems in an idea why in the area doing it during this trial as well, and theyve totally aware of whats going on. And ill response down today. Pretty, quick to the jury. During the incident as of right now, what were showing is that he just walked directly into the park and began to the throat of pamphlets in the air. And then lit himself on fire was still that could be come out during our investigation, we have a lot of witnesses here, a lot of people coming forward, we hope if more people come forward, we can put a little more information together. But as of right now, we dont have that he was making any statements tim offensive . Yes yeah. Were looking through his social media and what he did online prior and it appears that he did post something in regards to this event prior to the incident then readily take a walk something. Like try on when youre gathering intelligence social media and obviously i think i wanted welcome back saying, im a man, young parent race, but it we dont have, that emily as of right now, hes considered likely, which means hes hes very critical. His condition is not good. But as of right now, he still alive where were looking through that right now, as as five minutes go before we start just Press Conference, i didnt see any criminal history in new york i know has been asked yet, but i just want to listen to your tree to step in for 2nd. It just talk about what he did immediately after to make sure that the area is safe. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner Shepherd immediately following this incident, i requested a bomb squad, the cullum. I wanted the bomb squad serves to syria for any type, any possible secondary devices theyre actually doing this right now behind me with canine checking all the vehicles as the right now, there has been no additional devices found has been in devices found. Im sorry. Every glass that is sensitive so will be continuing to search this area. And as far as your question about enhance security procedures, or were going to take that look into this. Maybe we may have to shut this area down, but thats something that were going to were. Gonna have a conversation when we get back to one police plaza. Thank you. All right. Last couple yeah. Were not going to talk about specific numbers, but obviously were working on when numerous city hcs our federal partners over in this area, obviously, were working with courts, were working with the secret service. Were working with sanitation, whose ban them is right here. We work with fdny so theres a lot of City Agencies that are part of this, but we wont discuss what number of personnel we have our last lesson, last two i didnt front were not going to share a conversation that we had with secret service, but everyone involved in the trial inside is aware incident that took place outside today last one also, what do you want thats on the investigation by let chief, can you talk about as a right now on august camera, we have him walking to the park. That doesnt mean that he didnt need to take the train here. Are called me in a car. We do have a vehicle identified thats connected with him well, currently searching for that car last one last question of what appear to be earlier. For Trump Supporters for a testing. Im left as may notice that self on fire on the suborder. You have any reason to believe that it was targeting the border as as i think everybody who stepped up via said said earlier, we do not believe he is. This was targeting any particular person or particular group we just right now labeling it as sort of a conspiracy theorist. And were going from naibe, but the investigation will continue. Thank you. Bye. Thank you for your time and attention. Thank you. We have been listening to officials in new york city gives us an update on a dramatic and disturbing
