ground law to stay out of prison, but a judge wasn't having it and sentenced marissa alexander to 20 years. she said she fired a warning shot to chase off her husband who is abusive to her, but the prosecution said she fired in the direction of two children. >> guilty across the board. a jury in chicago found william balfour guilty for murdering family members of singer jennifer hudson. balfour shot and skilled hudson's mother, brother, and 7-year-old nephew in 2002008. hudson broke down in tears in the courtroom when the verdict was read. since illinois has no death penalty, he will be sentenced to life without parole. protesters in spain are fed up with their country's economic nightmare. tens of thousands marched today in madrid and other cities. they' they're marking the one-year anniversary of the movement against inekwauvty and sky high

unemployment. >> a group of civil rights leaders are commending obama on his supporting gay marriage. they compared it to the struggle for civil rights. former naacp chairman julian bond talked to anderson cooper. >> you, though, have really been out in front in comparing the fight for equality for gay and lesbian americans to the fight for equality for african-americans, to the civil rights movement. you said really this is the new front of the civil rights movement. why? >> well, i think it is. anytime a group of people are denied rights and struggle for their rights, that's a civil rights movement. >> the president declared his support for same sex unions in an interview with abc news robin roberts earlier this week. >> mitt romney addresses graduates at liberty university today. the school founded by the late pastor and political activist jerry falwell.

conservative evangelicals are a key constituency for romney. he made sure the audience understood his definition of marriage is different from the one president obama now supports. >> culture, what you believe, what you value, how you live, matters. now, as fundamental as these principles are, they may become topics of democratic debate from time to time, so it's today with the enduring institution of marriage, marriage is a relationship between one man and one woman. >> romney touched on politics. even made a reference to his former rival, rick santorum, who routinely outpolled romney among the religious right. and our cnn political reporter shannon travis joins me. he talked politics, but he spent a lot of time talking religion here as well, didn't he?

>> yeah, i mean, he talked about both. just a bit of background. yesterday, the campaign was saying, you know, this wouldn't be so heavy on policy, it certainly wouldn't be heavy on attacks on president obama, but as you just mentioned, he waded into political stuff and religion as well. leltsz rr talk about politics first. you can't get more political than the biggest political issue of this week, which as you played president obama's stance on gay marriage and mitt romney coming here in his big public forum, responding to that. he did so, has done so in a few interviews this week. in terms of other political subjects he's waded into. he talked about rick santorum, his final rival. saying rick santorum had referred to him as a broken institution study that said if you graduate high school and get a job and couples marry before they have a child, they're only 2% likely to actually be poor. another political occurrence, but this one aimed at romney

that was a pesky plane that was flying around the commencement the entire time. it was from the liberal activist group, moveon.org and it basically said, i'm quoting the banner here, gop equals higher school debt. now, before the plane was buzzing around, moveon.org sent out reporters, a press release saying we're going to have this plane there. they were complaining about the paul ryan budget, basically saying that it will cut $170 billion from pelgrants. so if you side with paul ryan as mitt romney does on the budget, that it will cost students more money. all right, shannon travis, thank you very much. former gop hopeful rick santorum has some advice for mitt romney. use the same sex marriage issue as a political weapon. he made his comment at a republican dinner friday night in arkansas. >> you see, this is a very pote

nlt weapon. if you will, for governor romney if he's willing to step up and take advantage of the president who is very much out of touch with the values of america. and hopefully governor romney will continue to stand tall for his position on this issue, and understanding how detrimental it would be for society to have this changed. >> when asked if he might be interested in being romney's running mate, he took a pass and said it's not something he's campaigning for. >> the president's stance on same-sex marriage is also creating tension among his biggest supporters. african-americans overwhelmingly support obama but tend to be more conservative when it comes to same sex marriage. that's what is reported. we take a look at how the president's new position could impact a crucial group of voters. >> give us the insight and the revelation. >> pastor ralph martino leads a prayer for president obama. >> same-sex related marriages can become one.

it contradicts scripture. >> he said the president's recent declaration of support for same-sex marriage is troubling. >> we're concerned. definitely disappointed. genesis chapten two, versus 21. >> he reads the bible passage describing marriage between a man and woman, a strongly held belief among christians. as faithful as the african-american community has been to the first african-american president, this issue is creating some tension. >> there will be some that will absolutely turn against him. and because again, we hear it happening as we speak. >> but receiverend martino and y of his congregants aren't going to reject obama. >> we're here to pray for him and help him understand you have theport who are willing to pray for you. g but you need god to counsel. >> voters we spoke to are giving the president a pass. >> i don't necessarily agree

with the marriage issue. but it won't stop me from supporting him. >> i agree with him. when you have coworkers, friends, you can get married, you tell them they can't get married. >> many affkrn american worshiper may forgive the president come november. >> we have all sinned. >> syrians mourn dozens who were killed in twin bombings in damascus, and two journalists who went missing are released. the report from turkey next.

journalists who went missing and were feared dead for the better part of two months inside syria. they were discovered to be held at a prison in damascus by the turkest islamist charity organization ihh, who has been negotiating for the release of the turkish journalists with iranian and syrian officials. they announced on friday, two captive iranians who had been grabbed by syrian rebels inside syria, were released to turkey, and now these two turkish journalists have been released to iran and are expected to be flown back to a hero's welcome in turkey within a matter of hours. the parents feared their sons were dead, and one of the journalists was quoted in the turkish media saying, there were tough days and tough conditions, but freedom is the most beautiful thing in the world.

all right, we all want our kids to succeed if we have them. but i don't know, would you do this? i don't have any kids, but this would be -- i'm not sure if i would allow my kids to do this. these high school kids in china getting fluids through ivs so they can study longer. crazy, but look at this. international testing puts china top in testing. u.s. ranked 14th in reading, 24th in math. ivs, that's extreme, but they want to be the best. do our students want that? do they? i'm sure they want to be the best, but would they be willing to do this? some would say no. we see this and go, oh, my gosh. that's is nuts. what happened to our desire to

be the best, and is this just crazy or does this say anything about our desire to be the best that maybe americans wouldn't go to these extremes? >> well, i'm glad americans would not go to that kind of extreme. because as we know, school is not just about academics and testing. it's also about learning social skills and having some fun, and having some adjustment, emotional adjustment. i would think those kids in china who we saw hooked up to those ivs, yes, it's about keeping up with the jones for them because that may be the culture, but i would bet you dollars to doughnuts that many of those kids are not very happy, and are under tremendous amount of stress, and we don't want our kids to be under that stress here. >> it's a way of life for them, and our way of life here, especially lately, some young people, students have all these other distractions that we didn't have when we were kids. does that play a role, too, in

our ranking. i'm talking social media. >> yeah, i think it has a lot to do with that. when you and i were growing up, perhaps the biggest distraction was television. kids now have the computers, they have the social networking, so all of those things are competing for their attention. and therefore, i think it pulls them a little bit away from where their academics ought to be, even when they're using the computer, they're getting all sorts of calls on the computer, as a matter of fact too, move away from the academics and see what is going on in the world as far as social news and intente n entertainment news or games on the internet. >> we're talking about, it sounds serious, breaking kids of this problem, of this cycle, but what is interesting, are we asking the wrong question. maybe it's about the parents. maybe they should say, get off the computer. is this more about the parent or the kid? >> it's about the parent and the child. but the parent has to take the lead, don.

and too often, i think parents have given up on kids because the fact of the matter is we have less kids than perhaps in the past few years who are attending college, they seem to be less ambitious. a lot of that is because they're affected by the financial community and say, well, what's the use of going to school if i can't really get a job? but parents have to be insistent that their kids study, they have to be insistent that their kids get higher education, and they have to lead as far as being role models by going back to school themselves. in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, and getting more education. and we see more of that trend happen wrg. >> there are a lot of successful slackers as well who dream all this up, and they become very wealthy. we're generalizing, of course, because there are still many students who put a lot into their studies. but do some of these lose their steam as they get closer to graduation? >> i think when you are looking

at college, perhaps they start losing that steam because they see there aren't jobs out there waiting for them. however, if you're talking about graduate schools, medical school, i teach a college of auth authosteopathic medicine. you better believe they're trying harder. they want to get the boards, want to get residencies because they're at the beginning of their professions. in post college, absolutely, they're trying harder. in college, i think we're seeing that kids are getting disappointed, but that's where, don, we step in as parents and say it's not just about the job, but it's also about the education, your self-esteem, that's something that no one can take away from you. the beauty of learning. that's the most important lesson. >> i have to get hooked up to my iv and get cracking because i'm slacking here. thank you, doctor. appreciate it. >> great to see you. >> american war vets considered the enemy. why they're listed on the no-fly

coming up on half past the hour, we're going to look at the headlines right now. >> first up, mitt romney made a direct and personal appeal today to christian conservatives. he addressed graduates at liberty university where he drew a clear distinction with president obama and reaffirmed his view that marriage should be defined as between one man and one woman. a former lapd detective is going to prison for a deadly love triangle 26 years ago. she was convicted of killing her ex-boyfriend's wife in a jealous rage back in 1986. the case was cold for years until 2009 when dna tests

matched a bite mark on lazarus. >> in florida, a millionaire has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for dui manslaughter. they found polo magnate john goodman guilty of being drunk when he caused the death of 23-year-old scott wilson. goodman's family is putting together $7 million to get him out on bond. >> two sisters are now safe two weeks after a kidnapper changed their lives forever. police now say that 12-year-old alexandria and her 8-year-old sister kyliyah bain were close enough to see him shoot himself. may mayes killed their mother and sister at their tennessee home and then fled with the girls. it ended in the woods in mississippi when the police closed in. >> i began giving commands. the little girl picks her head

up. another girl picked her head up after the command. mrs. mr. mayes began to raise his weapon. we ordered mr. mayes is drop the weapon. he raised to his knees, never brandished the gun to any of us or the children. at that time, he took his life. >> according to family and friends, he thought he was actually the father of the two girls. >> they have shown unmatched bravery in the line of duty. 34 police officers from around the country honored at the white house today. president obama and vice president biden appear together to hand out the top cop awards. >> every day, hundreds of thousands of law enforcement officers keep our neighborhoods safe, and frankly, they don't ask for a lot. they don't ask for a lot. they don't go to work planning to be hearoes. they just do their jobs.

but when you put on that badge, you assume a special responsibility. and every time you put it on, you never know if this day will be the day that you spent your entire career training for. the day when you're just doing your job and being a hero are exactly the same thing. >> congratulations to them. the no-fly list is being criticized by a group of muslim americans. 15 men say they were put on the list and have been banned from flying and they have no way to get off the list. now, a federal appeals court is considering their case. and jason carroll joins me now from new york. jason, listen, this is going to be interesting to see how it turns out. four of the men are veterans. how did they end up on the list? >> part of them aren't sure. it's frush ratding for them. it's been incredibly -- leaving them in a state of limbo. and this is the way they put it.

imagine if you're arriving at the airport, and you have not done anything wrong. you don't intend to do anything wrong, and you're told you can't board your flight. no one is telling you why, no one is telling you how to fix it. that's the situation a former marine found himself in. he was heading from chicago to spokane for his dog training business. federal agents, he says, surrounded him and told him he couldn't go. he found out later he was on the no-fly list, and a few months later, he said the fbi offered to get him off the list in exchange for being an informant. well, he declined the offer. he's now one of 15 people who along with the aclu are suing the government over the no-fly list. a lower court threw out the case, but an appeals court heard arguments yesterday in portland, oregon. he said being on the list has hurt him, his family, and he also said his business. >> a lot of power for them to disrupt someone's life. and you know, in all acchault, this country's for the people,

by the people, so the government should be fearing the citizens. the citizenstient be fearing the government. >> well, a source told cnn in january the flow-fly list has ballooned to 20,000 people as government agencies are working together to share more information. the government said this list is vital for keeping the country safe from terrorism. and they say since the list has been created, they have been doing more to take steps to improve the accuracy of it. of course, the spokesman said the decision will be forthcoming but could not say when. for now, the plifrs are not plying. >> many times you don't know until you're at the airport. what can you do if you end up on the list? it's happened to other people besides these folks. >> one of the things you can do is there's a protest where you can go on the web and try to clear your name. i went on the web earlier today. you go to the tsa site which then directs you to homeland security. to something called, you click on travelers re-dress inquiry

program. you click on that and then you can submit a complaint. you'll be given a number. with that number, you can track and see what your status is. there's also sort of a check list there where you can check on whatever applies to you. you see, i was denied boarding. i'm able to print my boarding pass. it goes on and on. the problem with that is there doesn't seem to be an indication of how long it will take to fix the problem, and if you don't like the outcome, what you can do about it. >> and then you do that, and you wait and wait and then who knows when you're going to hear back. >> and still no flying in the meantime. >> it's a problem. appreciate it. >> this is how one therapist treats his male patients. take a look. >> okay. >> that is supposedly to cure them of their home sexuality. that's not gay, right. look at that. it's part of what is conversion therapy. a practice california lawmakers

want banned and they want it right now.

take a look. ready? how is this for physical therapy? >> mom. mom! mom! mom! why did you do that to me? >> what you're looking at is part of what is called conversion therapy, a controversial practice that tries to turn gay people straight. and some in california are trying to outlaw the practice. i'm going to talk with karen conte. the people behind the proposal say the therapy is unsafe and unhealthy -- >> hello, by the way, and is that ground enough though that for it to be outlawed? >> well, you know, as sensitive as this therapy might be, we have to look at the constitutionality. the state has a right to do things that are in the safety

and interest of the public, like seat belts and motorcycle helmets and quarantine laws. they have that state power, but where it collides with the constitution is where we have to have trouble with this. listen, are we discriminating against gay people by enacting a law telling them they can't seek a certain kind of therapy even if they want to. does that single then out and treat them differently? it might. >> you know, gay advocates, right, are going to, i wad imagine, maybe this should be outlawed, but then does that take away your constitutional right to choose whatever therapy as you said, that you want to do? there's a delicate dance that happens here. where does it end? if you say, hey, listen, you can't do this? >> what if the government decides that some form of therapy is something they want to advocate or not advocate. it's not what the government should be doing. the medical profession should be

saying if you're a psychotherapist, you shouldn't do this therapy because it's danger. it's not the government saying if you do this, you could be sued. it doesn't make sense we should be using our governmental tools this way. >> it's interesting because how do you figure out what's going on? the man you sahib the video, that man, he's an unlicensed therapist. he does a thing called touch therapy you're looking at. what he's trying to do, what it's to do is help re-create a father-son bond. and it's funny to look at it because you know, they say this is to sort of make you not be gay, when you look at that and say that's not gay, but you're sitting on a couch cuddling. it's odd when you see it. how do you regulate what happens behind closed doors? >> you certainly can't. you certainly can't. i mean, we're free to do a lot of things that sing silly and

ha harmful. we can get tattoos, get our nosed pierced, we can get breast i implants the likes of no one has ever seen. and it seems to me that we can't pick and choose, gay people can't do this because we know what is best for them. maybe it is best for them. i doubt it, i find it offensive, but we have to look at the big picture here. >> no one is condoning this, neither you nor i, but its -- >> no. >> you want to be able to have in america freedom to choose. so it's, i don't know, it's a slippery slope, i think. we're not done talking about this controversial therapy. i want you to stick around because there's something here that involves children when it comes to this therapy. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower cholesterol

[ laughs ] [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. okay, we're back now talking about what you're looking at. this is one part of conversion therapy. a controversial therapy that tries to turn gay people straight. i don't know the legal term, but can guess maybe it's precedent or have the courts ever taken this issue on? >> not this exact issue yet, don, but what they have done is the california appellate courts have said this kind of conversion therapy could be considered torture under international law. what hannppens is sometimes the try to deport people from theircountry because they're gay, and they say we're going to

give you aseweylum because we tk it's torture. they have made a determination at least in one court that it constitutes something very harmful. >> let's talk about kids now because it's not just grown ups. the proposed law would keep parents from placing their kids in conversion therapy. are they saying this therapy, if you enroll your child, you try to get your child into this, is constituting child abuse, maybe? >> well, and i think that's where they're going with this. i'm a little more comfortable from a legal standpoint with that kind of thing. when you're talking about minors and having adults make decisions for minors, that's difficult than an adult making an adult decision, yes, i want to engage in this therapy, but i think that could certainly be the case. if you knowingly put your child in there and know it's going to be harmful, cause depressive tend aenlss and maybe even suicide, that could be child

abuse under any state law. >> thank you very much. great conversation. appreciate it. >> he's known as america's toughest sheriff. now he's the one in trouble. today is gonna be an important day for us. you ready? we wanna be our brother's keeper. what's number two we wanna do? bring it up to 90 decatherms. how bout ya, joe? let's go ahead and bring it online. attention on site, attention on site. now starting unit nine. some of the world's cleanest gas turbines are now powering some of america's biggest cities. siemens. answers.

afs director there, south america, turkey, texas. so i know where the u.s. border is, having been the top law enforcement guy there for 12 years. i have compassion. but i'll tell you, enforcing the law overrides my compassion. >> sheriff joe arpaio. >> it seems this kid was willing to give anything to keep his gum ball, including an arm. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. and celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen,
