... >> welcome to al jazeera america. i am richelle carry. here are the stories we are following for you. captured and headed back to prison, two escaped florida prisons face a judge. the u.s. is resuming more than a billion dollars to pakistan. drones used by the military and police may soon be tools for judgists. >> two convicted killers will appear before a judge shortly. charles walker and joseph jenkins had been on the run after using forged documents to get an early release from

prison. they were caught in panama city saturday less than 100 miles from the franklin institution where they escaped. natasha has more on their capture. >> their brief taste of freedom ended on saturday in the florida panhandle. >> they surrounded the room. about 20 task force members, using a pa stem from one of the cars were able to instruct them that they knew where they were and they wanted them to come out. >> joseph jeffing ins and charles walker were less than a 2-hour drive from the franklin correctional institution. that's where they have been serving life centses without patrol for two separate murders. ear earlier in the day, their families we want before cameras. >> we love you. we believe in you. we want you to surrender yourself to someone you trust who will bring you back in safely. >> the escapes were an embarrassment to the florida

department of krksz. the men were able to walk out of prison, thanks to forged documents sent to the clerk of the court. once they got out, they even walked into a jail in orlando to do what's required by law: to register as felonies. they had mug shots taken and they were finger printed no red flags we want up until the murder from one of the victims said she heard about the release. the judge whose name was formed on the papers was impressed >> i have never seen anything like this. you have to give them an a for being imaginenative. >> they said their priority was to candle the killer. the focus will shift to how this happened, whether it was an inside shop. >> they had an insider. they had a person at the courthouse that was able to take this document and slip it into the paperwork chain. that opens up a question that they could have had things slipped in for years.

>> let's take you live to panama city where this hearing is getting underway. joseph jenkins is up first to make his first court appearance before the judge, michael overstreet. >> one count of escape. based upon the warrant read. request that you held be held without bond. appoint a public offender to represent you. >> on the 25th of october, just to verify that you have been retrieved by the dprarment of corrections. have a good day . >> all right. >> it's not. i'm sorry.

i forget. your honor, it will be one second. they kept them separate. >> so what you are saying -- seeing is charles walker and joseph jenkins who had been on the run using forged documents captured saturday might in panama city. >> that's what we are seeing now. this is the courthouse in bay county where they are making their first court appearance. joseph jenkins went first. next is charles walker. he is being brought into the courtroom right now to make his appearance before the judge. >> mr. walker, this is your first appearance. you have been arrested on an inin state warrant issued by the secretary of the department of krksz, michael kris, for one

couldn't of he escape. it was probable kayes to de-tate you for the charge. there has been a request that you be held without bond. i am going to honor that. i ammi going to schedule you foa return first appearance on the 25th of october just to verify that you have been retrieved by the department of corrections. you did not complete an application for the appointment of a public defender so i can't appoint one for you. however, there is one in the office if you have questions. have a good day. >> there you have it. if i could correct myself, what you are seeing, they weren't brought into the courtroom. there is a separate room where the inmates are brought and the judge is in the courtroom. this is actually happening on video conference all in bay county, florida, panama city, where whorls walker, joseph genningins in custody after a few days on the lam when they escaped. it doesn't seem like an escape at the time, basically walked

out bayed on forged documents. it was brief. the judge telling them you are going to be held without bail, telling them that they have a right to an attorney and they should be back in according to on october 24th. robert ray joins me live from panama city if a, florida. i guess it's an embarrassing week for law enforce vrment as tremendous try to figure out how this happened and try to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> yeah. richelle, that's a proper word, embarrassing is correct. so right behind me is the bay county courthouse where the two men were just basically given what's going to occur to them in the next few days by the judge. as you say already, both much them are being charged with one count of escape, pretty obvious charge. the other, the other thing that the judge said is they should be back in according to on october 25th. and then after that, i guess what we are expecting is they will probably be put back in a correction facility, could be fringelin correction facility,

which is in carabel florida on the pap handle that is east of us. so a good situation that these men were caught last night in a motel at panama city beach, a touristy area. so they were together when they were appear preharehended by po without incident and i guess that's sort of relieves the question that we have been asking the past couple of days as to whether they were working together to have these documents forts, whether this was an inside job, and clearly it appears all of those questions have been answered to a point as we stand here this morning. richelle? >> robert, although they were captured at the same time, this release under false pretenses, they were not at the same time? they were days apart? >> yeah. exactly. september 27th was when one of the men was released with the forged documents. the other one was october 8th.

they both made their way back to orlando as we already know because that's where they were sentenced in orange county. there went through the second process in orlando. after you are freed from the correction facility, you have to go back to where you are sentenced to check in with the court, have your picture taken, your finger prints stamped and be put on the convicted felon list. so they we want through that process and then they we want on their merry way and but what that does tell us is the fact that they were apprehended here last night together is that somehow, they were communicating. details of that, we don't know yet because police are holding investigations' that, as is the state. richelle? >> going to be quite an investigation for sure. keep us posted. thank you. a navy commander from the criminal investigative service has been charged in a bribery scandal. the case involved millions of dollars in over billing by a singapore based contractor that

quick. >> they prefer the money life and easy money. their life will be short because they will die. everybody things it will turn out different for them. but that's never true. there will always be somebody waiting behind your throne. >> port rican police are constantly fighting this battle with more and more drugs coming on to the island, prices are dropping, and there is more business to fight for. casey kaufman, axis, san juan port reek on. >> they will send $16,000,000,000 to pakistan t it is confirmed it will be punted to the country within the next few months. that aid was sus spended withress between the two countries started to deteriorate over osama bin laden's killing and drone strike that killed civilians. john kerrvy supposed to meet
