athletes. one of them started her journey earlier. in january of 2012 she weighed 385 pounds. by the time she applied for a program she had already lost more than a hundred. now it's 146 pounds off the scale. last week i got to see her in nashville. >> when it comes to working out you only get out of it what you put in. i can remember not being able to, you know, maintain for 30 minutes. you know, i can run for two hours now or when i'm doing a spin class i have steam left at the end of an hour. it feels good to keep building on that. like, oh, i can do a little bit more today than yesterday. >> there is more to the story. annette inspired her own sister who was considering gastric bypass surgery but had a kaeng of heart when she saw annette's progress. >> about a month ago she told me, you know, i have been watching you and i have seen how you have done this and changed your life. i have seen your attitude change. i'm going to try it without the surgery first. she said, because you have done

it. i think i can at least try. >> that's a great story. it's what this is all about. we'll keep checking in with annette and her sister. annette, i will see you at the nautica malibu triathlon, hopefully at the finish line in september. chasing life now for st. patrick's day. here's the message. have fun but be smart. many people make the holiday all about drinking. don't overdo it. i get it. what does that mean? that's the question. here is a rule of thumb. for healthy adult men a healthy level is no more than 14 standard drinks a week. still quite a bit. standard drink is one beer, one five-ounce glass of one or one and a half ounces of liquor. for women, the healthy upper limit is no more than seven drinks a week. don't drink them all on st. patrick's day. that's a good message. anyone over 65, man or woman, should keep it to just one drink a day.

and this never hurts. don't mix these with prescription drugs. and don't drink and get behind the wheel. don't do it. that will wrap things up for sgmd. let us know what you think of the show. follow us on twitter. up next a check of the top stories in the cnn newsroom. happening now on cnn, a college sports team on the way to a game when their bus crashes. two on board are dead. many others are hurt. another crash in florida. this one a hot air balloon. among the injured an nfl player. i'll talk to his agent about his condition. getting an early read on the next gop candidates for president. voting happening now at the conservative political action conference. a teenage girl wants to try marijuana, so her mom buys it, smokes it with her. are you kidding? we are with asking, are parents trying too hard to be their

children's friends? and in name a most wanted criminal but he never committed a crime. he said they ruined his life and he's suing. we begin with a weekend outing that left a pro football player seriously burned. a hot air balloon collided with power lines near miami today and donte stallworth is reported in stable condition in a miami hospital. his female companion is also in stable condition. a third passenger in the balloon was not injured. stallworth is a free agent who played for the new orleans saints and new england patriots. this accident comes almost four years after another south florida tragedy involving stallworth. while driving under the influence he hit and killed a construction worker. he was sentenced to 30 days in jail after making a plea bargain. he received eight years probation and his license was revoked for life. joining me on the phone is his agent, drew rosenhaus.

how is donte doing? >> don, he's doing better. he's in stable condition. i have been in communication with him. many of his friends as well. he is recovering. it's really a freak a kuroccurr. it happened here out on a leisure ride. there was a malfunction and the balloon got tangled in power lines. he suffered serious burns. but thank god he's expected to make a full recovery. he's been very responsive in communications with me. i have been in touch with, you know, of course nfl teams and nfl players that have reached out to see how he's doing. we expect him to make a complete recovery, resume a normal life and continue with his professional football career, hopefully in a matter of weeks.

>> drew, did donte tell you what happened? >> no. i really was just, you know, when we made communication the only thing i focused on was his health. we didn't get into the circumstances of how this happened and just from some other people in his family, my understanding is that he went. it's a popular balloon ride in south florida. doesn't appear to have been any risk or accidents involved. just his luck that today was that day. he did get burned and his companion was burned as well. we are thankful that everything is under control and he's in stable condition and on his way to making a full recovery. >> is that the woman he was with was also burned, right? she's doing okay. was that the extent of the injuries -- just burns?

>> i didn't have direct communications with her. indirectly, she did suffer burns as well. she's also expected to make a full recovery. that's the information that i have. i can tell you that donte was in good spirits. you know, we'll be hearing from him shortly, i hope. >> we'd like to talk to him. if you want to put him on the phone with us we'd love to talk to him. >> sure. >> only burns, to your knowledge? >> that's correct. 100%. >> when is he getting out of the hospital? >> i hope soon. >> okay. >> with with burns they have to be careful of infection and things of that nature. he's being treated for that. they are taking good care of him. he is in good spirits. >> drew rosenhaus, thank you very much. update us. >> thank you, don. >> our best to him as well. to other news now. a tour bus carrying a university sports team crashed today and there are fatalities.

cumberland county in southern pennsylvania. the women's lacrosse team from seton hill university was on the bus when it veered off the road. at least two people were killed. now we know their names. let's go to susan candiotti working from new york. what have you learned? >> this is an awful accident. there were 23 people on the bus carrying the women's lacrosse team. the head coach, a 30-year-old mother-to-be was killed. christina quigley was 6 months pregnant and air lifted to a hospital. neither the coach nor her unborn baby survived. neither did the bus driver, 61-year-old anthony guetta died at the scene. everyone else was taken to the hospital for treatment. the team's charter bus was headed east on the pennsylvania turnpike this morning on oh the way from seton hill in greensburg, pennsylvania, east of pittsburgh across the state to a game in millersville. the driver veered off the road,

hit a guardrail, went 70 yards through grass and slammed into a tree. the front of the bus appears to have taken the brunt of the impact. the bus company said it's also investigating and issued a statement expressing its sorrow. we checked the company's history with federal authorities. an agency website lists no accidents for the past two years and shows the company has a satisfactory rating. that rating is the highest allowed. don? >> you described the accident, but do we know the cause? was it bad weather in this part of pennsylvania? is this a tricky stretch of highway praps? >> reporter: those are the questions we have been asking. right now it's so early. police say at the time of the accident there was a rain/snow mix alternating. it's not clear whether weather played a role. the ntsb could also get involved but at this point they haven't decided whether they will do it yet. >> susan candiotti from new

york, thank you very much. happening now the alleged victim in the rape trial of two ohio high school football players is now on the stand. the case attracted a lot of media attention after a picture went public of the incapacitated girl being carried by the players. accused are trent mays and malik richard. -- richmond, excuse me. some friends testified they saw the two perform sex acts on the girl who was reportedly passed out drunk. a verdict is expected in the trial which is being heard in juvenile court. now to politics where it's never too early to talk about the next election. that's especially true if your side is out of power. this weekend's cpac, the gathering outside washington, is considered the premier gathering for conservatives. we expect the results of the annual white house straw poll soon. dr. mark preston is there. we just had a presidential election and inauguration and now we are doing it all over again for the team out of power.

as we wait for poll results tell us about sarah palin's speech. it was a tough speech, i hear. she needed reinforcement with a big gulp. >> yeah. there is no question about that. sarah palin the darling of the conservative movement. we haven't seen much of her. she was here just a few hours ago. not only did she take a poke at new york mayor michael bloomberg for trying to ban sugary drinks but went after the republican establishment, specifically karl rove. let's hear what she had to say. >> the last thing we need is washington, d.c. vetting our candidates. [ cheers and applause ] >> if these experts who keep losing elections and keep getting rehired, raking in millions, if they feel that strongly about who gets to run in this party, then they should buck up or stay in the truck. buck up and run. the architects can head on back

to -- [ cheers ] -- they can head on back to the great lone star state and put their name on some ballot. >> there you have sarah palin. let me put it into context, don. for the last three days we have had conservatives in suburban washington. the real struggle, discussion was between the grassroots activists sitting here in this hall listening to ann coulter over my right shoulder as well as the republican establishment. they look at karl rove as the republican establishment. many conservatives think that the republican establishment is the reason why the republicans lost the white house in november. don? >> when i introduced you i mentioned a big gulp. i saw her take a drink. she did bring a prop, didn't she? >> oh, yeah. it was a big gulp. she pulled it out from under the podium. it had to do with the fact that in new york city they are trying to outlaw the large, sugary

drinks. of course a big part of the conservative platform is for the government to stay out of people's business. sarah palin really knows how to play to the crowd. she did it well here. it was well received when she pulled that big gulp out. >> i see ann coulter. no results yet but we'll get them. mark, thank you very much. a senator changes his stance on same-sex marriage after learning his own son is gay. next we are talking to a gay rights activist whose son was beaten to death because of his sexuality. later this hour, how did this beautiful gym owner become the first woman in nascar's pits? ou) why turbo? trust us. it's just better to be in front.

but at xerox we've embraced a new role. working behind the scenes to provide companies with services... like helping hr departments manage benefits and pensions for over 11 million employees. reducing document costs by up to 30%... and processing $421 billion dollars in accounts payables each year. helping thousands of companies simplify how work gets done.

how's that for an encore? with xerox, you're ready for real business. senator rob portman's dramatic reversal on same-sex marriage is getting mixed reviews. he came out in support of same-sex marriage after learning his own son is gay. >> my son came to jane, my wife, and i. told us that he was gay and that it was not a choice. and that, you know, that's just part of who he is. he'd been that way ever since he could remember. that launched an interesting process for me which was kind of rethinking my position. you know, talking to my pastor and other religious leaders and going through a process of, at the end, changing my position on the issue. >> does it make a difference if you only decide to support gay rights because it affects you and your family personally?

portman helped sponsor the defense of marriage act in 1996. gay rights activist judy shepherd joins us on the phone. her gay son matthew shepherd was tied to a fence and beaten to death nearly 15 years ago. what's your reaction to portman's sudden change of heart now? >> reporter: wel >> caller: i'm encouraged that first he acknowledged it is not a choice. that's an important thing to say. i'm relieved for his son and their family that they appear to accept his son for who he is. i praise his son for having the courage to come out knowing his father was or maybe the whole family was initially against gay equality. i am disappointed, i guess, that it took a personal matter for him to understand that everybody else's children who are gay go through the same fears and the same anxiety that he is.

telling the stories is how we change. i'm gratified he decided to do this in a public way. >> it's interesting. you bring up a very good point. does it have to be -- i will ask you this. do you think it has to be a family member for someone to empathize with another person? why does it take a family member to empathize with someone being gay and someone wanting to marry someone of the same sex? >> you know, as a society we just teach our kids, still, that being gay is somehow wrong and it carries over to the kids. they feel this fear -- or not just kids. family members. often it's a personal story that makes it come to light for them which is why telling stories is so important. >> mm-hmm. i mentioned your son matthew, 15 years ago was beaten to death. i'm sure not a day or a moment goes by that you don't think about him.

you just said, you know, many families now teach kids that it's wrong and they feel it is wrong for kids to be gay and they can't accept it. what do you say to those parents and what do you say to people who are watching even about empathy, empathizing with with someone outside your family, outside of someone that you love? >> you know, you are who you are. you love who you love. that's just the way it is. i just think it's time as a nation we come to realize that we legally discriminate against the gay community. i don't understand it. we shouldn't be. you just are who you are. this is not a choice. we just need to accept it. these folks considering maybe they don't love tear children anymore because they're gay, i wish they would reconsider that thought. at least they still have their children. >> as we look at video of the funeral -- matthew's funeral,

you have devoted years to fighting for gay rights. do you think the supreme court will rule in favor of same-sex marriage later this year? >> reporter: i am really praying that they do. it's long overdue. i so admire president clinton for understanding that it was the wrong move to make at the time. we made a law when there wasn't even a possibility that gay couples were allowed to marry. i'm very gratified for the progress we are making with our national leaders. i'm happy that they are standing on the right side of the street. i wish more folks would understand that you just are who you are. that's the way it is. >> judy, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> thank you, don, for the opportunity. >> best of luck. god bless. are adults today too worried about being friends with their kids instead of parents? one mom said she was just trying to help her daughter out, but in

the end the police put her in jail. what happened? that is next. we have been telling you about the rape trial going on in ohio. we're going to have a live report coming up after the break. capella university understands rough economic times sto . drug and alcohol abuse is up. and those dealing with grief don't have access to the professional help they need. when you see these issues, do you want to walk away or step up? with a degree in the field of counseling or psychology from capella university, you'll have the knowledge to make a difference in the lives of others. let's get started at capella.edu

we are getting new information on this. it may be the weekend but an ohio juvenile court isn't taking a break in the case of two football players allegedly raping a teenage girl reportedly while she was drunk. the credibility of the accuser was called into question. i want to warn you there will be graphic language with this story. poppy harlow has been in court all day where the alleged victim is still on the stand right now. poppy, you come out. there is a recess. give us the latest news that you

have. >> reporter: this 16-year-old girl, the alleged victim, has been on the stand for an hour and 15 minutes. she was brought up by the prosecution. her testimony is not over. she hasn't been cross-examined yet. she talked about how much she drank the night of the alleged party. this is important. the argument here is how intoxicated was this girl. was she with it enough to make conscious decisions about what happened that night? the prosecution says no. the defense says yes, she was. that's what the boys' innocence or guilt lies on. she said at the party that night in august she drank a slushy with vodka, one smirnoff black, and one shot. she said after she left the party, doesn't remember a thing except a flashback of throwing up in the street somewhere. fast forward to the next morning. all she remembers is waking up on a couch in someone's house that she really didn't know. she said she was naked. didn't know where her clothes

were and said she was too embarrassed to ask the boys that were there what happened that night. she said they told her later that she was a hassle and they were just trying to take care of her. at the time she didn't ask what happened. she gathered her stuff. a friend picked her up. i want to tell you as well that she talked about a few days later when she told her mom that she didn't remember anything, she was confused. she was seeing social media and texts saying a lot of scary things about what may have happened to her. she went to the hospital. she opted not to have a rape kit performed because they said it wouldn't do much good. too much time had h elapsed. there's been a lot of talk about whether or not she was drugged. she texted friends saying, i was drugged. we now know that no drug test was performed on her. >> okay, poppy. can you take us inside the courtroom? we are looking at pictures of the two accused suspects here.

>> sure. >> to have a 16-year-old girl on the stand talking about these things, her, the faces of the jury and the two accusers. take us inside the courtroom. what's it like? >> it's such a good question. these are minors. the girl is 16. one of the defendants is 16. another is 17, don. the alleged victim was shown a picture on the stand -- a naked picture of herself that she had never seen before today. she saw it and she broke down and started crying. she was asked, have you ever seen it. she'd never seen it before. she had seen other naked photos allegedly taken that night, but not that one. you saw it get to her so much. the co-defendants, we are sitting behind them and can't see their faces. their parents have been there every day sitting a few feet away from us. very difficult for them to hear as well. interesting, no jury in this. this is a bench trial. the jury will ultimately be made by the judge.

one of the key things that came out in her testimony was a lot of text messages and in the ensuinging days after the party between her and trent mays, one of the accused and trent mays asking, listen, i hear you are pressing charges. are you pressing charges or not? she was getting angry saying, that's all you care about. so there was a lot of back and forth between whether charges would be pressed or not. >> you said the judge is a visiting judge. he has other things to attend to. >> right. >> long court days and that's why you're in court this weekend. very interesting, poppy. thank you very much. we appreciate your reporting. we'll get back to poppy throughout the weekend. coming up, are adults too worried about being friends with their kids instead of parents? one mom said she was trying to help her daughter out. in the end police put her in jail. what happened? next. my insurance company told me not to talk to people like you. you always do what they tell you? no... try it, and see what your good driving can save you.

you don't even have to switch. unless you're scared. i'm not scared, it's... you know we can still see you. no, you can't. pretty sure we can... try snapshot today -- no pressure.

the university lacrosse team coach is dead along with a

driver of the team bus. police in southern pennsylvania don't know why the bus veer aufd the highway and hit a tree. it was carryinging the women's lacrosse team from seton hill university. the driver of the bus was killed along with coach quigley. she was 6 months pregnant. her baby didn't survive. a hot air balloon collided with power lines today near miami injuring football player donte stallworth. his female companion was also injured. he is currently a free agent. his agent i spoke to at the top of the hour said his injuries aren't to the ebs tent that they will jeopardize his career. a south carolina woman sympathizes with her daughter who tells mom she's been facing peer pressure to try pot. mom goes to buy some from the guy behind the neighborhood

tennis court and then smokes it with her daughter. it doesn't sit well with dad. soon, mom is facing criminal charges. wendy walsh is a psychologist in l.a. wendy, why would a parent -- >> oh -- >> yeah. i'm not parent. but my parents did say, all right, you're going to go out and drink, you want to try it, whatever, as i became nearing the drinking age. have beer with us. right? >> right. alcohol -- >> alcohol is legal. marijuana is not legal in every place. >> there are a lot of pieces to this. first of all, there is the question of illegality. we don't have it straight in this country yet. is it medical marijuana or is a pot shop on the corner? there is one next door to cnn here in los angeles. it's called hope. they are selling hope which cracks me up. there is one with on every other block here. how in california do you tell the parent of a teenager not to

do that when they are like a mcdonald's on every other block. secondly the parents weren't a unified front. they clearly had different parenting ideas and the dad just called the cops on the mom. >> why call the cops on mom? come on, man. really? >> when you have run out of re sour -- resources you reach out to the system. i completely understand that. part of me endorses him for that. the other piece is the whole friend -- parents being friends with kids and hanging out. they don't need another friend. they need a parent to provide boundaries. >> that's what i want to talk to you about. i don't remember my parents really giving two cents about what i thought about. most people i talked to, we were having this discussion. why do parents care if their kids consider them friends these days? >> they want their kids to love them. >> oh, please.

>> they are afraid to be hard-nosed with them. it's interesting. my teenager mentioned today in her iphone -- whatever -- listing, i'm listed under wendy. i'm like, no, no, i should be in the m's. i'm mom to you. why are you daring to list me by my first name. she said it doesn't make alphabetical sense. >> that's something i don't get. look at this. the percentage of kids living with one parent was 9% in 1960. in 2010 it was three times higher at 26%. how much of this recent struggle for parents can be traced to divorce? >> think of it. one in four american children are either house hopping or living with only one overstrapped, tired parent -- i'm one. so the problem is when parents only have their kids part time,

they are sort of afraid to discipline them. i hate the word discipline. i like boundaries with clear, logical consequences which means rewarding good behavior and also providing consequences for bad behavior. i think parents are afraid to do that because the kid can go and courts listen to kids by the age of 12. they can say, i want to stay at my other parent's house because it's a disneyland household. this is a problem in our culture now. >> yeah. how much does social media have to do with this? >> well, you know, we tell parents. i tell parents they should be their child's facebook friend. they can follow what's going on with and they are a twitter follower, but that doesn't make them a real friend. mark zuckerberg thought he was making friend lists when he developed facebook but it's a contact and a link. i think maybe parents and kids confused the term. >> mm-hmm. yeah. >> i'll tell you what my mom and dad said. i am not your friend. i am your parent. go to your room.

>> exactly. that's how it should be. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> take care. >> who's going to run for president next on the republican ticket? we'll find out soon at the cpac conference. they have taken their straw poll. we'll let you know the results after the break. [ male announcer ] this is a fire that didn't destroy a home. this is a break-in that didn't devastate a family. this is the reason why -- adt. and while some companies may offer home security, at adt, we specialize in it,

as promised the results are in from cpac's straw poll. cnn's political director mark preston is there. i'm sure it's loud where you are. who's the leader? >> probably by no surprise rand paul was the winner of the conservative political action conference straw poll. just announced moments ago. you have to say that it's not a surprise because many of the attendees at the conference tend to be young. these are folks who would gravitate toward rand paul because of his libertarian views. in second place was marco rubio, the florida senator.

many people think he will run for president in 2016. rand paul and marco rubio gave back-to-back speeches on thursday. coming in third was rick santorum who had a strong run for the president shaial republ nomination. chris christie who is not here came in next. congressman paul ryan rounded out the top five right there. we have the results of the t straw poll. the question is will it matter in 2016? probably not. but it is bragging rights now for senator rand paul. >> i'm looking at an e-mail. marco rubio, 25%. let's see. santorum with 8%. chris christie, 7%. paul, 6%. then 23% -- we have two rubios. anyway. here's a question. chris christie is not even there

and got 7%. what's the deal with chris christie? how do they feel about him there? >> clearly a lot of people think chris christie has done a good job. he's a republican governor in a blue state. he came under a lot of criticism for embracing president obama after super storm sandy came in and wiped out the shoreline of new jersey. he did it right before the election. he drew the ire of a lot of republicans but the fact of the patter was he wasn't -- matter was he wasn't invited here. the union said chris credhristc politics didn't fit the conference but 7% of attendees think chris christie should be the nominee in 2016. 3,000 people were on the ballot including senator ted cruz givinging closing remarks here. i have to tell you, for conservatives this has been a whirlwind three-day conference of red meat speeches. but can they leave and take the

message back to their neighborhoods and communities? >> thank you, mark. appreciate it. they are part of history and hollywood. prison chain gangs have nearly been extinct for decades. next, meet a sheriff campaigning to bring them back. ethan chose a two-year liberal arts degree at the burr roug of manhattan community college. >> i thought it would be a great place to find direction. >> reporter: he found more than that. his degree landed him a job in the college's computer center and later a promotion. >> i was making $62,000. i felt good about how thingses went even without having a bachelor's. >> reporter: he's one of many community college graduates proving that a four-year university isn't the only gateway to the middle class. according to a georgetown university study 28% of americans with associates degrees make more than those with bachelor's degrees. >> associates degrees are for

fast starters. >> reporter: that's exactly what it was for ethan. a start. he went on to get his bachelor's degree on his employer's tab. >> because of my role working for a cuni they were able to waive the tuition. >> reporter: his return of $# 6,000. his sister chose an expensive master's degree from new york university. if you are trying to trim your college costs, start at a community college. >> where you went to school matters less and less. what matters more is what you take. >> reporter: second, learn a practical in demand skill like computer science and finally, see if your employer will chip in. >> that was essentially to help me finish my bachelor's. >> reporter: christine romans, cnn, new york. everyone's retirement dream is different; how we get there is not.

known for its harsh and sometimes brutal history, chain gangs are a long thing of the past. well, having been phased out of prisons in the 1960s. but one south carolina sheriff wants to bring them back. chuck wright joins me now from spartanburg county in south carolina. sheriff, welcome. thanks for joining us. >> my pleasure. thanks for inviting me. >> you believe chain gangs could be a positive thing for both community and inmates. why is that? >> i think that we can call it a chain gang or a behavior modification program or whatever you choose to do. i'm trying to lessen the burden on society ta these people who choose not to follow the rules to pay society back for the drain they put on them. i am not into the old 1960s form of chain gang where they were cruel and unusual punishment.

i'm not into treating any human being badly. just asking people who drain our society to pay back. all i'm asking them to do is basically yard work like most americans do every day. i'm not trying to suggest they are less of a human whatsoever. i still believe in the programs you put them in to get their education, to let them have their religious beliefs. i believe in all that stuff. i understand these are someone's children. >> there are still a few chain gangs in existence. most notably in maricopa county, arizona, but they are voluntary. would this be voluntary for your prisoners? >> i'm asking for it not to be voluntary. why should a person who breaks into homes or sells drugs get a say in their sentence? >> mm-hmm. >> instead of sentencing somebody to 15 years of sitting in jail learning to be a better criminal and be a drain on society, why can we not ask them to help us pay society back by

maintaining our roads or state and county-maintained roads? it costs $47 per day to house an inmate if he or she is healthy and nothing else going on with them. all i'm asking them to do is earn their keep. >> would they be chained to each other or just their feet chained together? how would it work? >> it doesn't matter to me if they have chains on them or not. we have different alternatives. there is a stun belt. we are not going to put people on the chain gang who are pedophiles, rapists and killers. we want to put the low risk, low flight risk people out there to, you know, shorten their sentence up. most of them, if you ask them in jails today would tell you, i will take three years working five to six days a week as opposed to sitting in jail for 10 to 15. there is an economic problem

with the fact that if they have a spouse and children at home they must go on government assistance most of the time just to survive. that's going to lessen the burden on taxpayers to help pay the fee. i have heard people say it has no rehab value. i don't believe it's society's business to rehab people who don't want to be reb has beened. if you are a drug user, it's up to you to decide whether or not you want drug treatment. if you ask for it, i believe in helping to get it for you. but people are not going to change no matter what program you put them in unless they choose to change. i don't think it's the government's responsibility to fix everybody, either. >> sheriff, thank you. we have to end it there. sheriff chuck wright from spartanburg county in south carolina. we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >> everybody wants to be wanted unless it is by the police. a california man found himself on the most wanted list by

mistake. he tried to clear his name, but the cops didn't listen. now he's suing. the story is next.

a california man was named one of the most violent criminals, problem is, he says he didn't commit a crime. when he learned he was wanted by police, he tried to clear his name, instead he was thrown in jail, released three days later. his picture remained on the list six more months! what in the world? holly hughes joins me, she's a

criminal defense attorney. he is suing the city and police for defamation, civil rights violations, false arrest, does he have a case? >> he does. i tell you why. his friend calls him, says dude, you're on the news, wanted in a gang shooting. he thinks that's a mistake. googles himself, finds out they have put my name out there. he goes down to the police station a couple days later to say what's going on, let me turn myself in, i didn't do anything, but you have my name and photo out there. arrest him for another crime, you beat a man with a baseball bat. what are you talking about. they book him, hold him three days, never file charges and finally spring him. here's the thing. it was false arrest, took his fingerprints, booked him, mugshot is out there, they have that crazy website out there, they got your mugshot out there, then you have to pay to get it taken down, his life was turned upside down and he did nothing

wrong. >> probably still on the internet. >> it is forever. lives forever. >> his lawsuit doesn't mention any compensation. what do you think is likely? >> i think they're probably going to ask for a couple million, i tell you why. it is not so much you can makeup for what the man has lived through. he is living in fear, he is on the most wanted list, people think he is a criminal. what a jury will want to do is send a message to the police don't do this again, don't do this to another innocent citizen. i think that's probably when they get down to it, going to ask for millions and a jury may find this crazy and ridiculous and agree. they might give him a big fat reward for this. >> holly hughes, appreciate it. a story that will make you go gross! i was eating my sandwich when this story came on earlier today. i had to turn it off. passengers on a greyhound bus, roaches everywhere.

most of the girls are mutilated when 12. i knew that once they go through this cutting, i am going to be married off, and my dream of becoming a teacher would end. my mind said run away, i had to face and only go through the cutting if he let's me go back to school. it was done in the morning, using an old recipe with no anesthesia. i can never forget that day. eventually i was the first girl in the community to go to college. i want to start a school for girls. over time, we see them

confident. >> how are you girls? >> fine. >> it is the most exciting thing. it is about empowering the girls. these girls are saying no to being cut, they're dreaming of becoming lawyers, teachers, doctors. my daughter will do better than my son. i came back for the girls in my community. you don't have to negotiate like i did to achieve their dreams. that's why i wake up every morning. for over 75 years people ...with geico... ohhh...sorry!. director's voice: here we go. from the top. and action for over 75 years people have saved money with gecko so.... director's voice: cut it! ...what...what did i say? gecko? i said gecko? aw... for over 75 year...(laughs. but still trying to keep it contained)

director's voice: keep it together. i'm good. i'm good. for over 75...(uncontrollable laughter). what are you doing there? stop making me laugh. vo: geico. saving people money for over seventy-five years. gecko: don't look at me. don't look at me.
