also, police today raiding the las vegas home and office of his personal doctor conrad murray, and as they dshgs cnn was uncovering new details of jackson's final moments. today we learned how long paramedics worked on his apparently lifeless body before taking him to the hospital. we're also learning about a fight now brewing over the jackson estate. the family versus aeg, the concert promoter, and what aeg is after. randy kay has details of the coroner's report, the battle to keep jackson alive, and the money battle in los angeles. we begin with the raids on dr. murray and ted rolands in las vegas. ted. >> reporter: two separate search warrants were serveed in las vegas. one at murray's home in a gated community. the other one here at murray's las vegas clinic. the first one, the one at the house, only took three hours to serve. they went in. murray greeted them. he was in the house at that time. they took out one computer hard drive and some cell phones. here, a much different story. they were here for a total of

eight hours going through medical evidence. they came out with what they called documents, evidence. they came out with a number of different things that were in briefcases and other smaller items. not the big items that we saw in houston. more smaller, more targeted, it seems, but it took them a long time to get them. >> ted, where is dr. murray right now? do we know? is he in las vegas? >> reporter: is he in las vegas, and according to a neighbor, he has been in las vegas for much of the period of the last few weeks. his attorney says he hasn't left his home because he is encountered by people. he is -- has to deal with the public on a level which he has never felt before, and that is why he has stayed at home. neighbors say he has been in his home and in las vegas for much of this period while all this investigation has been circul e circulating. >> new details.

randy kay has been covering the growing moelg money battle over jackson's estate. the coroner's report and new information about what happened when paramedics first arrived in jackson's home after that 911 call. first the breaking news. >> anderson, we do have breaking news to tell you about. as you know, sources at along telling us that the toxicology report and the coroner's report and the autopsy results would be made public by the end of this week. now tonight i can tell you, as you heard as well, that the final results and the report will come out next week. we acknowledge that the autop autopsy -- >> when paramedics actually arrived at the house after that the 1 is call, what did they find? >> this is information that is from the l.a. fire department, and he told me that michael was not breathing and had no pulse

what paramedics arrived at the scene. they said he was in dire need of help. let me put some things in perspective and tell you about the timeline that this all occurred. we know that the 11 cull came in at 12:22 in the afternoon on june 25th. apparently it was not mentioned -- michael jackson was not mentioned that he was the victim there. the call, we now know, lasted approximate 2 seconds. it took paramedics, four of them in all, three minutes and 17 seconds to get to his house. captain ruda with the fire department told me that mr. jackson got what he called the hallelujah package, which means he really got the works in this case, and at the house, anderson, paramedics worked on michael jackson for 42 minutes. >> never heard that term. the hallelujah package. why did they work on him at the house for those 42 minutes? why not just take him to the hospital right away? was he not stable? he couldn't be moved? >> reporter: i wanted to know that same thing, actually, and he called it scoop and run. that's when they pick up and transport right away. that did not happen in this case for a number of reasons.

first of all, i'm told that dr. conrad murray, michael jackson's personal physician, who we just heard a little more about from ted there, in vegas, he took responsibility at the scene, the fire captain told me. he was in charge. he was calling the shots. he decided and determined that it was best to work on him there for those 42 minutes and try to get him breathing at the scene. the captain told me that when a patient is pulseless and not breathing, there are many things that paramedics can do to try to get the heart beat again. they gave him oxygen and medicines that he would not name. nothing seemed to work. again, this is treatment that was prescribed at the scene, and that's why he wasn't transported. in those 42 minutes that's actually part of the golden hour, i'm told. that's what paramedics call it. that's all the time they have to jump-start the blood pressure and get the heart going again. the fire captain told me that if a patient is just too far gone, obviously, no matter how long they work on him, nothing is going to help. >> how much time has to pass before a patient is simply too far gone? >> reporter: a patient, i'm told, by this fire captain can

go without oxygen for about four to six minutes before severe brain damage sets in followed by death. i asked him if that's what happened in the case of michael jackson, and the captain told me, "based on what paramedics saw at the scene, they tried every technique known in the field. still, we know, he could not be saved." in the end they loaded him into the ambulance at his rented mansion in beverly hills. it was about a two mile drive or sore from there to the ucla emergency room. it took a little over four minutes, and as we know now, that is where he died. >> randy, another hearing is coming up on monday. there's now reports more infighting today between the family and the executors. what have you learned about what's going on? >> reporter: this seems neverending. the court hearing coming up. well, in advance of that court documents filed today catherine jackson, his -- jackson's mother, demanding a pile of financial documents in advance of this august approximate 3rd hearing. that would a contract that he

had with record labels, promoters, even a contract he had with his father, apparently. now, i do know she lost temporary custody of the estate when jackson named the executors in the will of his, and the judge granted control of the estate to these executors. catherine jackson apparently suggesting that she has not received the documents in advance of the hearing that she wants. she says the executors are keeping her in the dark. her request being viewed by the estate as volumous, burdensome, and invasive. now, the lawyer for the executives released a statement to us tonight, and it reads the special add mores have and will continue to provide timely information to jackson's counsel regarding potential business -- any inference that we have not been forthcoming in providing information to catharine jackson's attorneys is not accurate. it goes on to say that mrs. jackson's lawyers have refused the requested terms for a krftality agreement which is between a third party and the jackson estate and that is why

they have not received this one document, which is apparently what this is all about. why does this matter? probably a lot of folks asking. well, as you know, hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake here, including record royalties and jackson's share, of course, of the well known beatles catalog. anderson. >> randy kay covering a lot. thank you so much. ted rolands as well. let's go to the criminal side of things. jeffrey tubin and lucia bloom yoinks now. jeff, you didn't think -- it was too early to talk about manslaughter in connection with dr. murray. now they've raided his las vegas office and his home. what due think? >> they are obviously engaged in a very serious criminal investigation of him. he is a target. i don't know if he is a target in the legal sense, but certainly in the sense you or i would use. he is a target of criminal investigation. law enforcement officials do not behave this way unless they think they are going to charge someone. whether they ultimately do and what information -- what evidence they have we don't

know. the key fact here is that the affidavit in support of the search warrant, the reasons that the investigators gave to the judge to grant the search warrant, that's still under seal. we don't know that, but obviously, they think they have a case on murray. >> lisa, why wouldn't authorities, though, have done this sooner if they raided his office in texas last week? if dr. murray had something to hide -- and i'm not saying he does. we have no idea. he certainly would have had a lot of time to hide it if he was so inclined. >> well, i can give you my educated hunch, anderson, and that is that i would suspect that law enforcement has preliminary toxicology results, and, remember, dr. murray voluntarily spoke to police twice at the beginning about a month ago, so you put together what he told them. you put together that they probably have preliminary toxicology results because that's the way these things usually work, and now they're going to go back and see if they can connect the dots between the medications listed in those tox results and dr. murray. do they have, for example, shipping invoices, medical order

forms, prescription records, or the actual medications themselves, because, keep in mind probithal is not a prescription. it's something that he may simply have had on hand and may have been in michael jackson's rented home, and it may have been in one of the locations that has been searched in connection with dr. murray. either his office or clinic. >> lisa, stick around. jeff bloom as well. we'll have more shortly. the chat is underway at acapproximate of 0.com. let us know what you think of all this. also 360's sanjay gupta looks at diprovan. what does it look like when someone is put under proply? you'll see for yourself second by second. >> he stopped breathing. this is co it, and he is not breathing. >> let's take a look over here. all the breathing right now is taking place with this mask. >> the patient under diprovan. >> a group of men in rural north

carolina. new information -- our own peter burg on how much or how little home grown jihad --

the coroner's rourt of michael jackson's death, which we thought was going to be released at the end of this week, including all that toxicology information, is now going to be made public next week. not this week, as we've been previously led to believe. in the meantime, police searching the las vegas home of dr. conrad murray, investigators including federal drug enforcement agents looking for a lot of things. back to the panel digging deep are lisa bloom and jeffrey tuben. we know from court documents filed last week that when murray's houston office was raided, it was possibly for a case of manslaughter. that's -- his own attorney used the term. are you any closer to saying that this could be a -- that this is a manslaughter case? >> well, it is a manslaughter

investigation. whether they will actually bring charges and whether murray is guilty, i'm not ready to say. >> it would be a hard thing to prove given michael jackson's, you know -- the allegations that have already been made about his drug use for years and years and years. >> it seems to be a very difficult case. obviously, the key fact that we don't know is what are the results of the autopsy, because if there is a single drug in his system and a single obvious cause of death, maybe the case gets a little easier, but if there are other drugs in his system, if he has a history of use of other drugs, which seems clearly to be the case, if other drrz were involved in treating him, if he had independent access to drugs without dr. murray, it does seem like a very hard case. >> and, lisa, that would be a question whether dr. murray knew of any other drug use from michael jackson. >> right. the strength of the defense case, if this does turn into a trial, would be causation. can the prosecution prove that the medication given by dr.

murray, if any, is what caused jackson's death, and if there are a lot of other medications in jackson's system, it makes it more and more difficult for the prosecution to link this to dr. murray. the strength of the prosecution's case is propthal. if dr. murray can be proven to have given him that in his home which is against all reasonable medical thinking. there's supposed to be artificial ventilation and in a hospital. then he really i think is in some legal jeopardy because that's beyond the pale of anything that any medical professional would recommend. >> manslaughter called you have to prove recklessness, and it is possible that use of propothal could be considered reckless. remember, this is not a crime where anybody says murray tried to kill michael jackson, so -- >> of course not. >> he could say, look, i was doing my best. i was given these sets of instructions. he had this history.

i think intent is -- >> i'm just one in a line of doctors that had given him this in years. >> that's the idea. sdhoo that's not a defense, and where i. >> the question is was it medically reckless to give this medication knowing what this doctor knew or should have known and which apparently knew nearly all other doctors on the planet know, what's written on the directions, printed on the forms for propodhal and they were not there in jackson's home. >> lisa, jeff. up next we're going to show you how diprovan works. you'll see it in use in the only safe place to use it, in a hospital o.r. >> nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

>> that's what it looks like. >> later, you hardly know he is charged with walking up it a doctor, putting a gun to his head, and pulling the trigger. gripping testimony today against the ald killer of a kansas abortion provider. you'll hear his plea and gary tuckman's exclusive interview with his ex-wife, talking about the man she married and how he compares to the man sitting in the courtroom today.

michael jackson had apparently been using diprivan and propofol. you're about to see why. we're going to show you in real-time exactly how diprivan works, and you'll see for yourself all the equipment and necessary -- sanjay gupta takes

us up front. >> there's been a lot of discussion about proo follow. is it considered safe in any setting, except a hospital or a medical setting? i decided pictures are worth 1,000 words, and i'll take you inside my operating room to show you firsthand what really happens. come on in. so we are here inside the operating room with dr. gerscon. is he the chief of anesthesiology here. this is a medication he uses all the time. is this over here? >> where he. >> it looks like -- milk of amnesia. >> vincent, you okay? >> you have to monitor his ekg and his co2 and make sure is he breathing. you have to see his saturation and make sure he is ventilated. >> these are all -- that's all typical stuff? >> that's standard of care. yes. >> okay. so the propofol. >> you are going to get sleepy.

give me some deep breaths. >> take a look at his eyes, how quickly -- >> deep breaths, vincent. doing great. may feel a little burning. okay? >> ten, nine, eight, seven, six, fi five, four, three, two, one. >> there's a reason for his heart rate increasing. his eyes close. >> his eyes close, and what else? >> look up here. he stopped breathing. this is watching his co2, and he is not breathing, and my wonderful method is going to help him breathe. >> take a look over here. all of the breathing right now is taking place with this bag and this mask. that medication he wouldn't be able to breathe on his own without those things. just with that much proo follow there, he stopped breathing and will need a breathing tube. >> easy. >> easy. >> what is so attractive about

this medication? >> well, people -- the last ten years, 15 years, it's basically a quick on, quick off. people may think this is something they can do at home because if it gets out of hand, it goes away quickly. the problem is it gets out of hand, and there's nobody there to resuscitate you. nobody can bring you back. >> that was pretty quick. you just -- you will -- five, ten minutes. >> he has gone from being completely awake to being completely asleep. >> i'm breathing for him. >> one thing that's worth pointing out is this is a hospital that uses this medication thousands and thousands of times a year, but they do use this medication is nonhospital settings, like out patient clinics. the doctors say they have never heard of it being used in a home. anderson, back to you. >> sanjay, thanks. fascinating how quickly he stopped breathing after quickly getting that propofol. the patient you saw going under during the piece is doing just fine. he is awake and has no implications, we're told.

believe it or not, diprivan is not a controlled substance. it seems like nobody ever imaged somebody use it in the way michael jackson allegedly did. should it be more tightly regulated? go to ac 360.com to read about the dangers of dibry van addiction. let's get the latest on some of the other stories we're following. erica hill has a bulletin. a senior military official says the top commander in afghanistan will ask president obama for more troops and more equipment there. general stanley took over in afghanistan last month. he is expected to make that request in the coming weeks. president obama reaching out to seniors today in a town hall teleconference hosted by the aarp. it's part of mr. obama's aggressive push to get a health care reform bill signed this year. the president says his plan will maintain medicare benefits and allow people to keep the coverage and doctors they now have. we'll talk to his opponents and they say the math doesn't add up. a close relative of the common food dye that makes blue m & ms so blew may be a good

treatment for spinal cord injuries. it helps block inflammation that continues to damage an injured spine, in lab rats. it temporarily turns the rats blue. apparently, the only notable side effect, researchers say it's important to remember tests in humans are years away. it's important to remember that if all rats in new york city were that cute, we wouldn't have a problem. >> that's not a new york city rat at all. >> i have some if you want to try and make sure. apparently i think in gatorade, too, it's the same kind of blue. >> really? >> yeah. >> if the new york city rats turn blue, i'm all for it. >> i'll scatter m & ms on the subway tomorrow. the $6 million question. a major study on the dangers of texting while driving. the results may scare you enough to keep both hands on the wheel. also ahead, born and raised in the usa and accused of plotting violent jihad overseas. how big is the threat from home grown terrorists? plus, exclusive details about the arrest in north carolina. the wife of one of the suspects

speaking out only on 360. it made a big splash with the employees yeaaaahhhh! find out more at aflac!... ...forbusiness.com (laughter)

we've been dpiging deep into the terrorism arrest in north carolina. most of them young, in their 20s, are charged with plotting terrorist attacks abroad. you're looking at mugshots of four of the suspects. the feds say all seven took part in weapons training and military tactics in north carolina to prepare for violent jihad overseas. authorities are searching for an eighth suspect still at large at

this hour. one of the men in custody is 39-year-old daniel boyd. his two sons were also arrested. boyd was born and raised here in america, and until recently -- or until yesterday led a very low key life as a drywall contractor. not a much different picture. now a much different picture is emerging. david mattingly with details. david, what do we know about this guy, daniel patrick boyd? >> anderson, what people are telling me tonight was that he was a good neighbor, he was a good father, ef the son of a marine officer, a marine veteran of vietnam. they say that there was nothing about him that was suspicious. he seemed like a good friend, someone that you could count on, someone who wouldn't ever be in trouble. you're looking at his mugshot right now. listen, though, to what is in the indictment, and you hear that what federal officials are saying, that this is possibly a face of home grown terrorism. this light haired, strapping man who does have this deep americana background. what his neighbors do not know about him is that at the age of

19, to years ago, he had converted to islam as a teenager and that he went to pakistan where he got involved with the resistance, the rebels who were fighting against the afghanistan government that had been set up by the soviets. he aided and assisted them in their fight against that government. now the government is calling that that he has experience with terrorist training camps, even though at the time he was part of something that the united states was supporting to some degree. now they're saying that he received terrorist training, and now they're painting a very different picture of daniel boyd. >> what exactly is he being accused of, because, i mean, if his terrorist training, according to the government, was back when he was fighting for what the u.s. government was considering huge that dean, and they were supporting, is that the only thing he is being accused of? >> he and these other men are accused of providing support and facilitating help to terrorist activities overseas, with the

idea of doing harm to people abroad. not here on u.s. soil, but in terms of just looking at the indictment. there were some specific things about boyd that he solicited money to fund the travel of individuals overseas to engage in violent jihad. that he showed one of the defendants how to use an ak-47. this demonstration happened in boyd's own living room there in north carolina. and that from november 2008 to april of this year boyd purchased ten weapons, most of them rifles, in part of the indictment saying these men he was involved with were involved in gathering weapons, providing material and financial support to people who were doing these terrorist activities overseas. >> so you had an exclusive interview with boyd's wife. what did she have to say? >> she was very upset. not only was her husband arrested yesterday, but also two of her sons. she says they are all innocent. she says they have had some difficulties because of their islamic beliefs in the united states after coming back from

pakistan all those years ago, but she says they have done nothing illegal, and one of the things that her husband was accused of in the indictment -- it was spelled out how he went to the middle east with the purposes allegedly of engaging in some kind of violent jihad activity. she said that was not the case at all. in fact, one of the times he went over there was to take one of their sons over there for a graduation gift and then to pray for one of their sons who had recently lost his life in a car accident. listen to her words here right now. >> we all had agreed to go to the holy land and pray for our s son. it would be a positive action and it would help console us and it would be in a place where we felt islamicly we could do the most good for our departed, beloved. >> and that was sabreina boyd,

anderson. she's wearing the traditional islamic clothing. she wears that any time she leaves the house. this is a very conservative islamic household. she said they continue to worship at mosques around in the area, but that her husband was never engaged and that he -- she says he is a good man, and she maintains that he and her sons are innocent. >> i just want to make sure. the things in the indictment aren't all about what happened back when afghanis huge muhajadeen were fighting the soviets. he left for israel in 2007, according to the government, to engage in violent jihad, and also to return to america after failing in their efforts, right? >> this indictment based on activities just in recent years. that was just apparently his first taste of jihad to assist the renl rebel efforts in afghanistan. >> appreciate that. thanks very much. just how big is this potential home grown terror threat, or is it? perspective, let's go to

national security analyst peter bergen. we have seen a couple of cases recently of american citizens being radicalized here in america and not just talking about violent jihad, but actually engaging in it. there were young kids in minneapolis, somalis, who ended up going back to somalia, and now this group. what's going on here? >> i think this is a miniwave of home grown radicals, american citizens, something i was skeptical that would ever happen. they were well integrated into american society. whether it's a somali case of the minneapolis kids or some kids from seattle going over and conducting a suicide attack in somalia or in this case in north carolina where a number of them not only went to israel, but also to jordan and even kosovo according to the government allegations to try and engage in some kind of violent jihad. we saw a kid from long island just showing up in an sclaid al qaeda training camp in pakistan.

that case coming public. i'm sure you recall the attack of little rock, arkansas, where an african-american convert to islam killed an american soldier in recent weeks, so, you know, taken together, this suggests something of a little bit of a shift from what we've seen previously. >> other than the case of the man accused of shooting two u.s. soldiers at that recruiting center, all of these activities have been focused on violence or potential violence overseas. i guess the government's contention is it's not a big leap in logic to believe once you have that training, you could use it here at home? >> yeah, many of these cases revolve around material support. one of the ways you tirlly support a terrorist organization is providing yourself as a trainee, as, for instance, this kid from long island did in an al qaeda training camp. he volunteered for a suicide operation. he actually took parted in an operation in afghanistan against an american base.

>> bryant neil from long island. what stuns me about that case is he was arrested in pakistan and was released. just how easy it was apparently for an american to join al qaeda. the guy just shows up and gets into al qaeda. >> he shows up and was instantly taken in, according to reports, and he went into afghanistan. it raising an interesting question. if this guy can do that and waults into a training camp in pakistan, why is it that apparently our intelligence agencies for which we spend tens of billions of dollars a year don't seem to be able to do the same thing. thanks, peter. you can join the live chat right now and let us know what you think about this case at ac 360.com. a lot to talk about ahead. an accused killer in court. scott roader charged with murder ing an abortion provider.

(voice 1) traffic's off the chart... (voice 2) they're pinging more targets... (voice 3) isolate... prevent damage... (voice 2) got 'em. (voice 3) great exercise guys. let's run it again.

a moeshl testimony today in the accused killer of a kansas abortion provider. wearing a jacket and tie, the defendant, scott roader.

now, one man says he was with tiller at a snack table when roader allegedly opened fire. let's listen. >> i was talking to dr. tiller and making kind of small talk when i noticed the door, that door that would be on the left there, open up. the gentleman that had exited the door had walked over and put a gun right up to george's head and shot it, and i -- i wasn't for sure because it wasn't a loud -- it was a pop, a loud pop, but i wasn't sure if it was a cap gun or what. i mean, george fell, and i said in my mind, you know, oh, my god. i couldn't believe what i was seeing. it was surreal. >> surreal and violent. roader pleaded not guilty today to murder.

while he was in the courtroom, his ex-wife was with "36 on's" gary tuckman watching the proceedings and talking about the man she married. now in the exclusive interview you'll only see here, she described her life with roader. she also shares with us the letter he wrote to her from jail with the "360" file. here's gary's reported. >> reporter: lindsey roberts married scott roader 23 years ago. they're now divorced, but they had a child together, so their lives have remained enter twined, but the man she married has long scared her. >> did you think in years gone by that your ex-husband was capable of murdering a doctor provider of abortions? >> yes. >> lindsey said the day she got married she never could have imaged the downward spiral her life would take. >> were you in love when you got married? >> yes. >> do you still love him? >> i love the scott i married. >> reporter: this is the man she divorced. in court today pleading not guilty to murdering abortion

provider judge george tiller. lindsey did not want to see her ex-husband in person in wichita. she watched the hearing on the internet with me in the kansas city area where she lived. >> not a nightmare. it's life. it's true. >> reporter: over the years lindsey said she saw her once stable husband become increasingly unglued, fanatical about religion and abortion. she filed for divorce after ten years. they stayed in touch because of their son nicolas, who is now 22. over a decade ago, when roader was stopped about explosives in his car, lindsey said she warned investigators he was dangerous. she was horrified, but not shocked when her ex-husband was arrested for the murder of dr. george tiller. no hi heart goes out to the tiller family. >> two weeks after the murder linds lindsey roader received this letter from her ex-husband in jail. >> my guess is that i'll never hear back from you because that would keep in character with being the grown-up spoiled brat that you are, but my true concern is with our son, nicolas. i'm afraid he is becoming or

already become a spoiled brat such as yourself. if you are an adult, you'll respond. if you are a spoiled brat, you won't. >> reporter: lindsey, who says she was aemotionally abused for years by scott, did not respond. >> there's a good chance that scott will see this story or hear about the story. what would you say to him? >> scott, you had no right to take another person's life. you're not god. you're not a judge. you're not a jury. you say that you are protecting the unborn, that you did it for the children, that you were justified. if you did it for the children, why did i have to fight for years to get child support to care for nicolas? if you did it for the children, if you did it for the children, why wouldn't you pay for a dentist for nicolas?

>> reporter: hopes and dreams demolished so completely. >> interesting that he didn't provide for his own child. does she have any plans to attend his trial? >> anderson, she really is very slight and doesn't want to see him in person. she may have to. she found out today from prosecutors that she and her son nicolas are both on the prosecution witness list, so it's very possible they will be called to testify. they will be compelled to testify, but she says she knows that's her duty. she knows it's her son's duty, and they will testify. i will tell you, anderson, kansas moves very quickly. trial date was set today. less than two months away. trial begins september 21st. >> we'll be following. gary, thanks. you just heard some of the words to his ex-wife. you can read his entire jailhouse letter on "ac 360.com." coming up next, texting a message and risking your life. new numbers reveal the growing danger and we'll take you on a ride that reveals the risk, texting on the road. later, the shot, it is a silly one. it will make you laugh before going to bed tonight.

a bunny that maybe walks, i don't know, like a person or -- i don't know what other animal. we'll let you be the judge.

>> wait until you hear about texting and driving. we're seeing it more and more. millions of americans are sending text messages from behind the wheel. among them, the city bus driver in san antonio whose distraction ended in, yeah, that highway collision right there. he lost his job.

lucky, no one was killed in that. a new study reveals the scope of the threat. virginia tech transportation institute, truck drivers who were texting or 23 more times more likely to get involved in a crash. despite the odds and the risk, a lot of people continue to text on the road. you see it every day. we want to show you how they are playing with fire. we're keeping them honest. the demonstration that just may make you think twice. >> point of reference. you talked about the number of times they're more likely to have an accident. the federal government said certain people who are drinking may only be four times as likely to have an accident. you get a sense of how serious this problem is. let's get to this thing by virginia tech. this is some of the actual road test video where they were checking people who were texting. this sort of thing. i talked to them earlier today, and they give us a sense of just how badly texting distracts from driving. more than virtually anything else commonly done out on the road. we went out to a parking lot in maryland to test out their findings. first, let's take a look at this. a relatively low impact

activity, loading a cd. the researchers found that people doing this normally look away from the road for about a second and a half, so i drove this suv right here up to about 25 miles an hour and right here i spent about a second half and quickly loading a cd. then i looked up and put on the brakes as quickly as i could, and this is where i wound up stopping. now we have a point of reference. this is a second and a half up until this point, anderson, to be able to stop that vehicle from loading a cd. not too bad, anderson. >> all right. so then what about a more intense activity like dialing a cell phone or something? >> that's where it does get more tri tricky. we do the same experiment. the virginia tech researchers found an actual driving circumstance, and they've been measuring real drivers in real traffic for years. dialing a cell phone can make you glance away from the road for about three seconds at a time. you may do it several times in a row, but only about three seconds at a time. same test. once again, here we go.

25 miles an hour away. i hit here. i pick up my cell phone and start dialing. we do it for about three seconds, and i look up and step on the brake. i want you to notice what happened here. when i stopped here, this was the mark where i stopped previously, and look how i kept going. that's just the difference in loading a cd and the cell phone. you can see i'm covering a fair amount of turf now before i manage to get stopped, anderson. about twice as far. >> what about texting? >> and texting. this is where it really becomes a mess. it's because of the number six, anderson. these researchers have found that the six seconds before an accident is a critical time in which you might be able to avoid it, but texting requires so much thought and action it takes up almost all of that time. that's why this is a problem. researchers say people who are texting routinely take their eyes off of the road for nearly five seconds. that's not to complete it. that's just at a time. watch what happens. once again, here we go. 25 miles an hour right here. i start texting.

i do it for 4.6 seconds, and by the time i get on the brake, look where i wind up. i effectively drove that entire way blind. here's the mark where i was trying to dial the cell phone. back here is where i got past the one. here's where i passed the one for loading the cd. you get a sense of just how terribly far you can go with this and that's traveling at 25 miles an hour. >> yeah. i mean, that is the interesting thing. you are only driving that miles an hour. the highway, you would be going much faster. >> if you take your eyes off of the road at highway speeds because you are texting, look, here i'm waving down down here, and you keep going in the five seconds that you're not looking at the road, you could drive the entire length of a football field and both end zones and, again, you are essentially driving blind the entire time.

>> that's unbelievable. >> that's why these researchers have been at virginia tech making very strong recommendations. we have it in the window of our truck here. they think that there should be a ban on all texting at all times for all drivers more than a dozen states have already started to do this. and they believe cell phone use should be banned for all newly licensed teens. i'll tell you this, anderson. this was a simple test, and it made a believer out of me. i thought before i could get away with flicking my eyes up. they said everyone believes that, but the statistics prove that we all think we're better at it than we really are. >> i will say i have done it as well. i have texted while driving. i will not do it anymore based on your thing. tom, appreciate it. thanks very much. hope other people out there take a listen as well. coming up next, colin powell on race. speaking out on professor gates' arrest and his own experience, he says, with racial profiling. also, major loss for michael phelps. his world record broken, and the controversy sparked over what his competition was wearing.

raw politics tonight. thursday evening, the professor and policeman involved in that racially charged arrest in cambridge will meet with president obama at the white house for beer. we've got frank talk about the inciden incident. henry liouis gates says he was the victim of racial profiling. tonight colin powell gave his upon of what happened. the former secretary of state sat down with larry king earlier. powell's remarks about his own arrest. here it is. >> teaching point for young people, especially. not for dr. gates. but for young people, especially, is when the police are looking into something and if you're involved in it in one way or another, cooperate. don't make the situation more difficult.

i think in this case the situation was made more difficult. on the part of the cambridge police department, once they felt they had to bring dr. gates out of the house and to handcuff him, i would have thought at that point some adult supervision would have stepped in and said, look, it is his house. come on. let's not take this any further. take the handcuffs off. good night, dr. gates. >> were you ever rationally profiled? >> more times. >> larry: didn't it ever bring anger? >> of course. anger is best controlled. sure i got mad. i got mad as a national security officer for the president of the united states states. i went down to reagan national airport. no one thought i could possibly be the national security adviser to the president. i was a black guy at the airport. only when i went up to the counter did somebody say is my guest here who's waiting for me, oh, you're general powell.

it was inconceivable to him a black guy could be the national security adviser. >> larry: how do you deal with things like that? >> you just suck it. it was a teaching point for him. i'm the national security adviser. i'm black. yes, i can do the job. do you get angry, yes. do you manifest that anger? you protest. it's kind of the better course of action to take it easy and don't let your anger make the current situation worse. >> here are some of tonight's other stories we're following. erica hill gives us a 360 bulletin. freedom in iran. the iranian government says it released protesters. hundreds of people were detained. officials claim only the organizers of the conflict are still behind bars. on capitol hill, the senate judiciary committee has approved judge sonia sotomayor's supreme court nomination.

good evening. tonight, breaking news. dramatic new developments in the michael jackson case and the battle for his money. we've just now learned of the toxicology and coroner reports will come out, but next week. the coroner's office all along saying they were on track to deliver them this week, but tonight that has changed. also, police today raiding the las vegas home and office of his personal doctor conrad murray, and as they did, cnn was uncovering new details of jackson's final moments. today we learned how long paramedics worked on his apparently lifeless body before taking him to the hospital. we're also learning about a fight now brewing over the jackson estate. the family versus aeg, the concert promoter, and what aeg is after. randi kaye has got details of

the coroner's report, the battle to keep jackson alive, and the money battle in los angeles. we begin with the raids on dr. murray and ted rolands in las vegas. ted. >> reporter: two separate search warrants were served in las vegas. one at murray's home in a gated community. the other one here at murray's las vegas clinic. the first one, the one at the house, only took three hours to serve. they went in. murray greeted them. he was in the house at that time. they took out one computer hard drive and some cell phones. here, a much different story. they were here for a total of eight hours going through medical evidence. they came out with what they called document evidence. they came out with a number of different things that were in briefcases and other smaller items. not the big items that we saw in houston. more smaller, more targeted, it seems, but it took them a long time to get them. >> ted, where is dr. murray right now? do we know? is he in las vegas?

>> reporter: he is in las vegas. and according to a neighbor, he has been in las vegas for much of the period of the last few weeks. his attorney has said his life has been virtually miserable. he hasn't left his home, because every time he goes out he is encountered by people. he is -- has to deal with the public on a level which he has never felt before, and that is why he has stayed at home. neighbors say he has been in his home and in las vegas for much of this period while all this investigation has been circulating. >> all right. thanks for the new details. randi kaye has been covering the growing money battle over jackson's estate. the coroner's report and new information about what happened when paramedics first arrived in jackson's home after that 911 call. first the breaking news. >> reporter: anderson, we do have breaking news to tell you about. as you know, sources at along telling us that the toxicology report and the coroner's report and the autopsy results would be made public by the end of this week. now tonight i can tell you, as you heard as well, that the final results and the report will not be made public until

sometime next week. i spoke with a source with knowledge of the autopsy. he told me that the finishing touches are still being done, still being put on that report. we can't expect it until sometime next week. anderson, yet another delay. >> you've been working your sources were new information regarding the time line and scene when paramedics actually arrived at the house after that 911 call. what did they find? >> reporter: this is information that is from the l.a. fire departme departme department. and he told me that michael was not breathing and had no pulse when paramedics arrived at the scene. they said he was in dire need of help. let me put some things in perspective and tell you about the timeline that this all occurred. we know that the 911 call came in at 12:22 in the afternoon on june 25th. apparently it was not mentioned -- michael jackson was not mentioned that he was the victim there.

the call, we now know, lasted approximately two minutes. it took paramedics, four of them in all, three minutes and 17 seconds to get to his house. captain ruda with the fire department told me that mr. jackson got what he called the hallelujah package, which means he really got the works in this case, and at the house, anderson, paramedics worked on michael jackson for 42 minutes. >> never heard that term. the hallelujah package. why did they work on him at the house for those 42 minutes? why not just take him to the hospital right away? was he not stable? he couldn't be moved? >> reporter: i wanted to know that same thing, actually, and he called it scoop and run. that's when they pick up and transport right away. that did not happen in this case for a number of reasons. first of all, i'm told that dr. conrad murray, michael jackson's personal physician, who we just heard a little bit more about from ted there in vegas, he took responsibility at the scene, this fire captain told me. he was in charge. he was calling the shots. he decided and determined that it was best to work on him there for those 42 minutes and try to get him breathing at the scene. the captain told me that when a patient is pulseless and not breathing, there are many things that paramedics can do to try to get the heart beat again.

they gave him oxygen and medicines that he would not name. nothing seemed to work. again, this is treatment that was prescribed at the scene, and that's why he wasn't transported. in those 42 minutes, that's actually part of the golden hour, i'm told. that's what paramedics call it. that's all the time they have to jump-start the blood pressure and get the heart going again. the fire captain told me that if a patient is just too far gone, obviously, no matter how long they work on him, nothing is going to help. >> how much time has to pass before a patient is simply too far gone? >> reporter: a patient, i'm told by this fire captain, can go without oxygen for about four to six minutes before severe brain damage sets in followed by death. i asked him if that's what happened in the case of michael jackson, and the captain told me, "based on what paramedics saw at the scene, they tried every technique known in the field. still, we know, he could not be saved." in the end they loaded him into the ambulance at his rented mansion in beverly hills. it was about a two mile drive or so from there to the ucla emergency room.

it took a little over four minutes, and as we know now, that is where he died. >> randi, another hearing to help settle michael jackson's estate is coming up monday. there's now reports more infighting today between the family and the executors. what have you learned about what's going on? >> reporter: this seems neverending. the court hearing coming up. well, in advance of that court documents filed today, katherine jackson, his -- jackson's mother, demanding a pile of financial documents in advance of this august 3rd hearing. that would include a contract that he had with record labels, promoters, even a contract he had with his father, apparently. now, i do know she lost temporary custody of the estate when jackson named the executors in the will of his, and the judge granted control of the estate to these executors. katherine jackson apparently suggesting that she has not received the documents in advance of the hearing that she wants. she says the executors are keeping her in the dark. her request being viewed by the estate as, quote, volumes now,

boa burdensome, and invasive. now, the lawyer for the executives released a statement to us tonight, and it reads the special administrators have and will continue to provide timely information to jackson's counsel regarding potential business -- any inference that we have not been forthcoming in providing information to catharine jackson's attorneys is not accurate. it goes on to say that mrs. jackson's lawyers have refused the requested terms for a confidentiality agreement which is between a third party and the estate, which is why they have not received this one document, which apparently what this is all about. why does this matter? probably a lot of folks asking. well, as you know, hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake here, including record royalties and jackson's share, of course, of the well known beatles catalog. anderson. >> randi kaye covering a lot. thank you so much. ted rowlands as well. let's go to the criminal side of things.

jeff, you said you didn't think it was too early to talk about manslaughter in connection with dr. conrad murray. now they've raided his las vegas office and his home. what due think? >> they are obviously engaged in a very serious criminal investigation of him. he is a target. i don't know if he is a target in the legal sense, but certainly in the sense you or i would use. he is a target of criminal investigation. law enforcement officials do not behave this way unless they think they are going to charge someone. whether they ultimately do and what information -- what evidence they have we don't know. the key fact here is that the affidavit in support of the search warrant, the reasons that the investigators gave to the judge to grant the search warrant, that's still under seal. we don't know that, but obviously, they think they have a case on murray. >> lisa, why wouldn't authorities, though, have done this sooner if they raided his office in texas last week? if dr. murray had something to hide -- and i'm not saying he does. we have no idea. he certainly would have had a lot of time to hide it if he was

so inclined. >> well, i can give you my educated hunch, anderson, and that is that i would suspect that law enforcement has preliminary toxicology results, and, remember, dr. murray voluntarily spoke to police twice at the beginning about a month ago, so you put together what he told them. you put together that they probably have preliminary toxicology results because that's the way these things usually work, and now they're going to go back and see if they can connect the dots between the medications listed in those tox results and dr. murray. do they have, for example, shipping invoices, medical order forms, prescription records, or the actual medications themselves, because, keep in mind propofol, which is at the center of this investigation, is not a prescription. it's something that he may simply have had on hand and may have been in michael jackson's rented home, and it may have been in one of the locations that has been searched in connection with dr. murray. either his office or clinic. >> lisa, stick around. jeff toobin as well. we'll have more shortly. the chat is underway at

"ac360".com. let us know what you think of all this. also 360's sanjay gupta looks at diprovan. what does it look like when someone is put under with diprivan, put under properly. you'll see for yourself second by second. >> he stopped breathing. this is co 2. he's not breathing more. my wonderful medicine is going to help him breathe. >> let's take a look over here. all the breathing right now is taking place with this bag and this mask. >> the patient under diprivan. a group of men in rural north carolina. new information -- our own peter burg on how much or how little home grown jihad is becoming in the united states. announcer: what's your cialis moment?

when she gives me that look. when at last we're alone. when we both decide. announcer: today, guys with erectile dysfunction can be ready with another dosing option from cialis. cialis for daily use is a clinically proven low-dose tablet you take every day, so you can be ready anytime the moment is right.

so relax and take your time. tell your doctor about your medical condition and all medications and ask if you're healthy enough for sexual activity. don't take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. don't drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long term injury seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than 4 hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision stop taking cialis and call your doctor right away. announcer: today, you have options: cialis for daily use or 36-hour cialis. ask your doctor if cialis is right for you, so when the moment is right, you can be ready.

week. the coroner's report of michael jackson's death, which we thought was going to be released at the end of this week, including all that toxicology information, is now going to be made public next week. not this week, as we've been previously led to believe. in the meantime, police searching the las vegas home of dr. conrad murray, investigators including federal drug enforcement agents looking for a lot of things. back to the panel digging deep are lisa bloom and jeffrey tooben. we know from court documents filed last week that when murray's houston office was raided, it was possibly for a case of manslaughter. that's -- his own attorney used the term. are you any closer to saying that this could be a -- that this is a manslaughter case? >> well, it is a manslaughter investigation. whether they will actually bring charges and whether murray is guilty, i'm not ready to say. >> it would be a hard thing to prove given michael jackson's, you know -- the allegations that have already been made about his drug use for years and years and years. >> it seems to be a very difficult case. obviously, the key fact that we don't know is what are the results of the autopsy, because if there is a single drug in his system and a single obvious

cause of death, maybe the case gets a little easier, but if there are other drugs in his system, if he has a history of use of other drugs, which seems clearly to be the case, if other doctors were involved in treating him, if he had independent access to drugs without dr. murray, it does seem like a very hard case. >> and, lisa, that would be a question, whether dr. murray knew of any other drug use from michael jackson. >> right. the strength of the defense case, if this does turn into a trial, would be causation. can the prosecution prove that the medication given by dr. murray, if any, is what caused jackson's death, and if there are a lot of other medications in jackson's system, it makes it more and more difficult for the prosecution to link this to dr. murray. the strength of the prosecution's case is propofol. if that's what was in michael jackson's system. if dr. murray can be proven to have given him propofol in a home which is clearly against all reasonable thinking, they're

supposed to be a hospital, they're supposed to be artificial ventilation, and they're supposed to be monitored at all times. then he really i think is in some legal jeopardy because that's beyond the pale of anything that any medical professional would recommend. >> manslaughter, you have to prove recklessness. and it is possible that use of propofol could be considered reckless. remember, this is not a crime where anybody says murray tried to kill michael jackson, so -- >> of course not. >> -- he could say, look, i was doing my best. i was given these sets of instructions. he had this history. i think intent is -- >> i'm just one in a line of doctors who had given him this over the years. >> that's the idea. possibly. >> that's not a defense, anderson. it's not a defense that michael jackson wanted it or even begged for it. it's not a defense that other doctors may have done it over the years. the question is was it medically reckless to give this medication knowing what this doctor knew or should have known and which apparently nearly all other doctors on the planet

know, what's written on the directions, printed on the forms for propofol is that it has to be in a hospital and under safety cautions which clearly were not there in jackson's home. >> up next we're going to show you how diprivan works. you'll see it in use in the only safe place to use it, in a hospital o.r. >> nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. >> that's what it looks like. >> later, you hardly know he is charged with walking up to a doctor, putting a gun to his head, and pulling the trigger. gripping testimony today against the alleged killer of a kansas abortion provider. you'll hear his plea and gary tuckman's exclusive interview with his ex-wife, talking about the man she married and how he compares to the man sitting in the courtroom today.

whether you consider it a cruiser or a clunker, you could turn it into cash. get to your dodge, chrysler, and jeep dealer, and get up to double the government's cash for your old car. now get up to $4,500 for your old car... plus, up to an additional $4,500 cash allowance. no turn-in? no problem. your dodge, chrysler, and jeep dealer guarantees everyone up to $4,500 cash allowance... on virtually every model. get to your dodge, chrysler and jeep dealer on the double, and get double cash for your old car!

we've been talking about michael jackson's final moments. and the drug diprivan or propofol. we've heard a lot about that over the last couple weeks. that's what michael jackson has apparently been using off and on over the last few years. incredibly dangerous to use outside of a hospital setting. you're about to see why. we're going to show you in real-time exactly how diprivan works, and you'll see for yourself all the equipment and necessary -- sanjay gupta takes us up front. >> there's been a lot of discussion regarding propofol. how exactly to use it, and is it considered safe in any setting except a hospital or a medical setting? i decided pictures are worth 1,000 words, and i'll take you inside my operating room to show you firsthand what really happens. come on in. so we are here inside the operating room with dr. gerscon. is he the chief of anesthesiology here. propofol is a medication he uses

all the time. is this it right over here? >> yeah. >> it looks like -- milk of am amnesia, they call it. >> milk of amnesia. vincent, you okay? >> you have to monitor his ekg and his co2 and make sure is he breathing. you have to see his saturation and make sure he is ventilated. >> these are all -- that's all typical stuff? >> that's standard of care. yes. >> okay. so the propofol. >> you are going to get sleepy. okay? give me some good, deep breaths. >> take a look at his eyes, how quickly -- >> deep breaths, vincent. doing great. may feel a little burning. okay? >> ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. >> there's a reason for his heart rate increasing. you can see his eyes have

closed. >> his eyes close, and what else? >> look up here. he stopped breathing. this is watching his co2, and he is not breathing anymore, and my wonderful method is going to help him breathe. >> take a look over here. all of the breathing right now is taking place with this bag and this mask. that medication he wouldn't be able to breathe on his own without those things. there you can see part of the problem. just with that much propofol there, he stopped breathing and he's going to need a breathing tube. >> easy. >> easy. >> what is so attractive about this medication? >> well, people -- the last ten years, 15 years, it's basically a quick on, quick off. that may answer why people may think this is something they can do at home. because if it gets out of hand, it goes away quickly. the problem is it gets out of hand, and there's nobody there to resuscitate you. nobody can bring you back. >> that was pretty quick. you just gave some of the medication. >> five, ten minutes. >> he has gone from being completely awake to being completely asleep.

>> he's not breathing. i'm breathing for him. >> one thing that's worth pointing out is this is a hospital that uses this medication thousands and thousands of times a year, but they do use this medication in nonhospital settings, like out patient clinics. the doctors say they have never heard of it being used in a home. anderson, back to you. >> sanjay, thanks. fascinating how quickly he stopped breathing after quickly getting that propofol. one footnote in case you're wondering, the patient going under in the piece is doing just fine. he's awake and has had no complications, we're told. believe it or not, diprivan is not a controlled substance. it seems like nobody ever imaged somebody using it in the way michael jackson allegedly did. should it be more tightly regulated? go to ac 360.com to read about the dangers of diprivan addiction. let's get the latest on some of the other stories we're following. erica hill has a bulletin. a senior military official says the top commander in afghanistan will ask president obama for more troops and more equipment there.

general stanley mcchrystal took over inning afghanistan last month. he is expected to make that request in the coming weeks. president obama reaching out to seniors today in a town hall teleconference hosted by the aarp. it's part of mr. obama's aggressive push to get a health care reform bill signed this year. the president says his plan will maintain medicare benefits and allow people to keep the coverage and doctors they now have. republican opponents say the math doesn't add up. a close relative of the common food dye that makes blue m&ms so blue might also be a much needed treatment for spinal cord treatments. when rats received an iv dose of the dye it helped to block inflammation that continues to damage an injured spine. it temporarily turns the rats blue. apparently, the only notable side effect, researchers say it's important to remember tests in humans are years away. it's important to remember that if all rats in new york city were that cute, we wouldn't have a problem. >> that's not a new york city rat at all. >> it's not.

i have some, so if you just want to try and make sure there's no inflammation in your spine. apparently i think in gatorade, too, it's the same kind of blue. >> really? >> yeah. >> if the new york city rats turn blue, i'm all for it. >> i'll scatter m & ms on the subway tomorrow. the $6 million question. that's what researchers spent on a major study on the dangers of texting while driving. the results may scare you enough to keep both hands on the wheel. also ahead, born and raised in the usa and accused of plotting violent jihad overseas. how big is the threat from home grown terrorists? plus, exclusive details about the arrest in north carolina. the wife of one of the suspects speaking out only on "360.

eighth suspect still at large at this hour. one of the men in custody is 39-year-old daniel boyd. his two sons were also arrested. boyd was born and raised here in america, and until recently -- or until yesterday led a very low key life as a drywall contractor. not a much different picture. now a much different picture is emerging. david mattingly with details. david, what do we know about this guy, daniel patrick boyd? >> reporter: anderson, what people are telling me tonight was that he was a good neighbor, he was a good father, he was the son of a marine officer, a marine veteran of vietnam. they say that there was nothing about him that was suspicious. he seemed like a good friend, someone that you could count on, someone who wouldn't ever be in trouble. you're looking at his mugshot right now. listen, though, to what is in the indictment, and you hear that what federal officials are saying, that this is possibly a face of home grown terrorism. this light haired, strapping man who does have this deep americana background. what his neighbors do not know

about him is that at the age of 19, 20 years ago, he had converted to islam as a teenager and that he went to pakistan where he got involved with the resistance, the rebels who were fighting against the afghanistan government that had been set up by the soviets. he aided and assisted them in their fight against that government. now the government is calling that that he has experience with terrorist training camps, even though at the time he was part of something that the united states was supporting to some degree. but now they're saying that he received terrorist training. and now they're painting a very different picture of daniel boyd. >> what exactly is he being accused of, because, i mean, if his terrorist training, according to the government, was back when he was fighting for what the u.s. government was considering what they were supporting, is that the only thing he's been accused of? >> reporter: he and these other men are accused of providing

support and facilitating help to terrorist activities overseas, with the idea of doing harm to people abroad, not here on u.s. soil. but in terms of just looking at the indictment, there were some specific things about boyd that he solicited money to fund the travel of individuals overseas to engage in violent jihad. that he showed one of the defendants how to use an ak-47. this demonstration happened in boyd's own living room there in north carolina. and that from november 2008 to april of this year boyd purchased ten weapons, most of them rifles, in part of the indictment saying these men he was involved with were involved in gathering weapons, providing material and financial support to people who were doing these terrorist activities overseas. >> so you had an exclusive interview with boyd's wife. what did she have to say? >> she was very upset. not only was her husband arrested yesterday, but also two of her sons. she says they are all innocent. she says they have had some difficulties because of their islamic beliefs in the united

states after coming back from pakistan all those years ago, but she says they have done nothing illegal, and one of the things that her husband was accused of in the indictment -- it was spelled out how he went to the middle east with the purposes allegedly of engaging in some kind of violent jihad activity. she said that was not the case at all. in fact, one of the times he went over there was to take one of their sons over there for a graduation gift and then to pray for one of their sons who had recently lost his life in a car accident. listen to her words here right now. >> we all had agreed to go to the holyland and pray for our son. it would be a positive action -- excuse me. it would be a positive action and it would help console us and it would be in a place where we felt islamically we could do the

most good for our departed beloved. >> and that was sabrina boyd, anderson. she's wearing the traditional islamic clothing. she wears that any time she leaves the house. this is a very conservative islamic household. she said they continue to worship at mosques around in the area, but that her husband was never engaged in any sort of violent activity. she said he is a good man. she maintains that he and her sons are innocent. >> i just want to make sure. the things in the indictment aren't all about what happened back when afghanis were fighting with the soviets. according to the indictment, he and others left for israel in 2007, according to to the government, to engage in violent jihad, and also to return to america after failing in their efforts, right? >> this indictment based on activities just in recent years. that was just apparently his first taste of jihad to assist the rebel efforts in afghanistan. >> appreciate that. thanks very much. just how big is this potential home grown terror threat, or is

it? perspective, let's go to national security analyst peter bergen. we have seen a couple of cases recently of american citizens being radicalized here in america and not just talking about violent jihad, but actually engaging in it. there was young kids in minneapolis, somalis, who ended up going back to somalia, and now this group. what's going on here? >> i think this is a miniwave of home grown radicals, american citizens, something i was skeptical that would ever happen. because american muslims are well integrated to american society, relative to european muslims. whether it's a somali case of the minneapolis kids or some kids from seattle going over and conducting a suicide attack in somalia or in this case in north carolina where a number of them not only went to israel, but also to jordan and even kosovo according to the government allegations to try and engage in some kind of violent jihad. we saw a kid from long island

just showing up in an al qaeda training camp in pakistan just in the last several weeks. that case coming public. i'm sure you recall the attack of little rock, arkansas, where an african-american convert to islam killed an american soldier in recent weeks, so, you know, taken together, this suggests something of a little bit of a shift from what we've seen previously. >> other than the case of the man accused of shooting two u.s. soldiers at that recruiting center, all of these activities have been focused on violence or potential violence overseas. i guess the government's contention is it's not a big leap in logic to believe once you have that training, you could use it here at home? >> yeah, many of these cases revolve around material support. for terrorist organizations. one way you materially support a terrorist organization is providing yourself as a trainee, as, for instance, this kid from long island did in an al qaeda training camp. he not only volunteered for a suicide operation. he actually took part in an operation in afghanistan against

the american base. you're talking about bryan neil v v vinas, i believe, from long island. what stuns me about that case is he was arrested in pakistan and was released. just how easy it was apparently for an american to join al qaeda. the guy just shows up and gets into al qaeda. >> he shows up and was instantly taken in, according to reports, and he went into afghanistan. it races an interesting question, anderson. if this guy can do that and essentially waltz into an al qaeda training camp in pakistan, why is it apparently our intelligence agencies for which we spend tens of billions of dollars a year don't seem able to do the same thing? >> that's certainly the question that's raised. you can join the live chat right now and let us know what you think about this case at ac 360.com. a lot to talk about ahead. an accused killer in court. scott roeder charged with murder ing an abortion provider.

dr. george tiller. his ex-wife speaking to us on their marriage, his rage, and the disturbing letter she received from him in jail. later, colin powell speaking out about the arrest of henry louis gates jr. we'll hear what powell has to say about that and his own experiences of being racially profiled.

emotional testimony today in the hearing of an accused killer of a kansas abortion provider. wearing a jacket and tie, the defendant, scott roeder. now, one man says he was with tiller at a snack table when roeder allegedly opened fire. let's listen. >> when i was talking to dr. tiller, and making kind of small talk when i noticed the door -- that door that would be on the

left there, open up. the gentleman that had exited the door had walked over and put a gun right up to george's head and shot it, and i -- i wasn't for sure because it wasn't a loud -- it was a pop, a loud pop, but i wasn't sure if it was a cap gun or what. then george fell. and i just said, in my mind, you know, oh, my god. i couldn't believe what i was seeing. it was surreal. >> surreal and violent. roeder pleaded not guilty today to murder. while he was in the courtroom, his ex-wife was with 360's gary tuchman watching the proceedings and talking about the man she married. now in the exclusive interview you'll only see here, she described her life with roeder. she also shares with us the letter he wrote to her from jail with the "360" file. here's gary's reported. >> reporter: lindsey roberts married scott roeder 23 years ago. they're now divorced, but they

had a child together, so their lives have remained enter twined, but the man she married has long scared her. did you think in years gone by that your ex-husband was capable of murdering a doctor who provided abortions? >> yes. >> reporter: lindsay roeder said the day she got married, she never could have imagined the downward spiral her life would take. were you in love when you got married? >> yes. >> do you still love him? >> i love the scott i married. >> reporter: this is the man she divorced. in court today pleading not guilty to murdering abortion provider dr. george tiller. lindsey did not want to see her ex-husband in person in wichita. she watched his preliminary hearing on the internet with me in the kansas city area where she lives. >> not a nightmare. it's life. it's true. >> reporter: over the years lindsey said she saw her once stable husband become increasingly unglued, fanatical about religion and abortion. she filed for divorce after ten years.

they stayed in touch because of their son nicolas, who is now 22. over a decade ago, when roeder was stopped with explosives in his car, lindsay says she warned investigators he was dangerous. she was horrified, but not shocked when her ex-husband was arrested for the murder of dr. george tiller. >> my heart goes out to the tiller family. >> reporter: two weeks after the murder, lindsay roeder received this letter from her husband in jail. >> my guess is that i'll never hear back from you because that would keep in character with being the grown-up spoiled brat that you are, but my true concern is with our son, nicolas. i'm afraid he is becoming or already become a spoiled brat such as yourself. if you are an adult, you'll respond. if you are a spoiled brat, you won't. >> reporter: lindsey, who says she was emotionally abused for years by scott roeder, did not respond. there's a good chance that scott will see this story or hear about the story. what would you say to him? >> scott, you had no right to take another person's life.

you're not god. you're not a judge. you're not a jury. you say that you are protecting the unborn, that you did it for the children, that you were justified. if you did it for the children, why did i have to fight for years to get child support to care for nicolas? if you did it for the children, if you did it for the children, why wouldn't you pay for a dentist for nicolas? >> reporter: hopes and dreams demolished so completely. >> interesting that he didn't provide for his own child. does she have any plans to attend his trial? >> reporter: anderson, she really is very frightened. she doesn't want to see him in person. but she may have to. she found out today from prosecutors that she and her son nicolas are both on the prosecution witness list, so

it's very possible they will be called to testify. they will be compelled to testify, but she says she knows that's her duty. she knows it's her son's duty, and they will testify. i will tell you, anderson, kansas moves very quickly. trial date was set today. less than two months away. trial begins september 21st. >> we'll be following. gary, thanks. you just heard some of scott roeder's words to his ex-wife. you can read his entire jailhouse letter on "ac 360.com." coming up next, texting a message and risking your life. new numbers reveal the growing danger and we'll take you on a ride that reveals the risk, texting on the road. later, the shot. it is a silly one. it will make you laugh before going to bed tonight. a bunny that maybe walks, i don't know, like a person or -- i don't know what sort of animal. anyway, we'll let you be the judge. hings, i was hoping it was nothing. grandma! what a nice surprise! mom, it's sunday. that's when i knew i couldn't wait.

mom's doctor said these were signs of alzheimer's, a type of dementia, and that prescription aricept could help. he said it's the only treatment proven effective... for all stages of alzheimer's. studies showed aricept slows the progression... of alzheimer's symptoms. it improves cognition... and slows the decline of overall function. aricept is well tolerated but not for everyone. people at risk for stomach ulcers... or who take certain other medicines... should tell their doctors... because serious stomach problems... such as bleeding may get worse. some people may experience fainting. some people may have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bruising, or not sleep well. some people may have muscle cramps... or loss of appetite or may feel tired. in studies, these were usually mild and temporary. mom. talk to your doctor about aricept. don't wait. alzheimer's isn't waiting. we're shopping for car insurance, and our friends said we should start here. good friends -- we compare our progressive direct rates, apples to apples, against other top companies, to help you get the best price. how do you do that? with a touch of this button. can i try that?

[ chuckles ] wow! good luck getting your remote back. it's all right -- i love this channel. shopping less and saving more. now, that's progressive. call or click today. zblnch think drinking and driving is dangerous? wait until you hear about texting and driving. we're seeing it more and more. millions of americans are sending text messages from behind the wheel. among them, the city bus driver in san antonio whose distraction ended in, yeah, that highway collision right there. he lost his job. lucky, no one was killed in that. a new study reveals the scope of the threat. according to the virginia tech transportation institute, truck drivers who were texting were 23 more times likely to get involved in a cash. despite the odds and the risk, a lot of people continue to text on the road. you see it every day. we want to show you how they are playing with fire. we're keeping them honest. the demonstration that just may make you think twice about doing it again. tom foreman joins us. >> point of reference. you talked about the number of

times they're more likely to have an accident. the federal government said certain people who are drinking may only be four times as likely to have an accident. you get a sense of how serious this problem is. let's get to this study by virginia tech. this is some of the actual road test video where they were checking people who were texting. this sort of thing. i talked to them earlier today, and they give us a sense of just how badly texting distracts from driving. more than virtually anything else commonly done out on the road. we went out to a parking lot in maryland to test out their findings. first, let's take a look at this. a relatively low impact activity, loading a cd. the researchers found that people doing this normally look away from the road for about a second and a half, so i drove this suv right here up to about 25 miles an hour and right here i spent about a second half and quickly loaded a cd. then i looked up and put on the brakes as quickly as i could, and this is where i wound up stopping. now we have a point of reference. this is a second and a half up until this point, anderson, to be able to stop that vehicle

from loading a cd. not too bad, anderson. >> all right. so then what about a more intense activity like dialing a cell phone or something? >> that's where it does get more tricky. we do the same experiment. the virginia tech researchers found an actual driving circumstance, and they've been measuring real drivers in real traffic for years. dialing a cell phone can make you glance away from the road for about three seconds at a time. you may do it several times in a row, but only about three seconds at a time. so, same test. once again, here we go. 25 miles an hour away. i hit here. i pick up my cell phone and start dialing. we do it for about three seconds, and i look up and step on the brake. i want you to notice what happened here. when i stopped here, this was the mark where i stopped previously, and look how i kept going. that's just the difference in loading a cd and the cell phone. you can see i'm covering a fair amount of turf now before i manage to get stopped, anderson. about twice as far. >> all right. so what about texting? >> and texting. this is where it really becomes a mess.

it's because of the number six, anderson. these researchers have found that the six seconds before an accident is a critical time in which you might be able to avoid it, but texting requires so much thought and action it takes up almost all of that time. that's why this is a problem. researchers say people who are texting routinely take their eyes off of the road for nearly five seconds. that's not to complete it. that's just at a time. watch what happens. once again, here we go. 25 miles an hour right here. i start texting. i do it for 4.6 seconds, and by the time i get on the brake, look where i wind up. i effectively drove that entire way blind. look at this. there's the mark from where i was talking on the cell phone, trying to dial the cell phone. back here is where i got past the one. that's where i started. here's where i passed the one for loading the cd. you get a sense of just how terribly far you can go with this and that's traveling at 25

miles an hour. >> yeah. i mean, that is the interesting thing. you are only driving 25 miles an hour. obviously on the highway, you'd be going much faster. >> at highway speeds in five seconds, if you take your eyes off the road, look at this because it's just mind blowing. if you take your eyes off of the road at highway speeds because you are texting, look, here i'm waving down down here, and you keep going in the five seconds that you're not looking at the road, you could drive the entire length of a football field and both end zones and, again, you are essentially driving blind the entire time. think of how much can happen in that space. >> that's incredible. >> it is unbelievable. that's why these researchers at virginia tech are making a very strong recommendation which we have right in the window of our truck here. they think that there should be a ban on all texting at all times for all drivers. more than a dozen states have already started to do this. and they believe cell phone use should be banned for all newly licensed teens. i'll tell you this, anderson. this was a simple test, and it made a believer out of me.

i thought before i could get away with flicking my eyes up. they said everyone believes that, but the statistics prove that we all think we're better at it than we really are. >> i will say i have done it as well. i have texted while driving. i will not do it anymore based on your thing. tom, appreciate it. thanks very much. hope other people out there take a listen as well. coming up next, colin powell on race. speaking out on professor gates' arrest and his own experience, he says, with racial profiling. also, major loss for michael phelps. his world record broken, and the controversy sparked over what his competition was wearing.

raw politics tonight. thursday evening the professor and policeman involved in the racialty charged arrest in cambridge will meet with president obama at the white house for beer and frank talk about the incident or applied photo opt. henry lewis gates says, racial profiling. a lot of people from the president down have weighed in. colin powell gave his opinion what happened. the former secretary of state sat down with larry king earlier. powell's comments about his own experience were quite candid. >> teaches point for young people, especially, not for doctor gates. but for young people, especially, is when the police are looking into something and if you're involved in it in one way or the other, cooperate. don't make the situation more difficult.

in this case the situation was made more difficult. on the part of the cambridge police department, once they felt they had to bring gates out of the house and handcuff him, i would have thought at that point adult supervision would have stepped in and said, okay, look, it is his house. let's not take this furter. take the handcuffs off. >> larry: were you ever racially profiled? >> yes, many times. >> larry: did you ever bring anger to it? >> of course. anger is best controlled. sure i got mad. i got mad when i -- as a national security adviser to the president of the united states. i went down to meet somebody at reagan national airport and nobody recognized -- nobody thought i could possibly be the national security adviser to the president. i was just a black guy at reagan national airport. it was only when i went up to the counter and said is my guest here who's waiting for me did somebody say, oh, you're general powell? it was unconceivable to him that a black guy could be the

national security guy. >> larry: how do you deal with things like that? >> suck is up. what are you going to do? it was a teaching point for him. i'm national security adviser and am black and i can do the job. there is no african-american in this country who has not been exposed to this kind of situation. do you get angry? yes. do you manifest that anger? you protest. you try to get things fixed. but it's kind of a better course of action to take it easy and don't let your anger make the current situation worse. >> colin powell tonight. here are some of tonight's other stories we're following. erica hill. freedom in iran, the iranian government released 140 prisoners arrested during a protest over last month's presidential election. now, hundreds of people were detained. officials claim only the organizers of the conflict are still behind bars. on capitol hill the senate judiciary committee approved judge sonia sotomayor's supreme court nomination. south carolina senator lindsey graham was the only republican to vote for sotomayor.

the full senate will take up a nomination next week. the world swimming championships in rome, stunning loss for 14 time olympic gold medalist michael phelps. first individual defeat in four years. paul veedman beating phelps and taking his world record as well. his advantage was a high-tech swimsuit, said to be banned sometime next year. and a first look at billionaire sir richard branson's mother ship. the plane designed to launch everyday earthlings into says. known as the white knight ii. no word on when the first flight into space will be. 300 seats have already sold for $200,000 a piece. those on board will get five minutes of weightlessness and r view of earth. that aircraft is not the actual aircraft that takes you up close to space. it launches the spacecraft.

takes you to a certain point in atmosphere, lets that craft go. gets to experience the weightlessness and come back down. >> would you do that? >> i don't know. there's intense training prior. i don't know if i would survive it. >> i'm not that interested. i don't know why. >> really? >> i guess i would do it. >> might be fun. >> might be. >> okay. i'll go instead. and you all about it. >> talk about fun. take a look at this bunny. a rabbit with skills. this is our "shot" of the day because it is. process is to edu. bank of america is highly committed. we do have a vast array of programs that will enable buyers to purchase a home and feel comfortable. for credit qualified buyers, the government will give you a tax credit up to 10% of the purchase price or $8000, and as long as they live in that home for 3 years or longer, they don't have to pay it back. due to the market guideline changes, fha has had a resurgence in the market place. va is also one of the things that's coming into vogue again. there's more veterans out there

that qualify for these programs, and they'll come back and they'll utilize these. everything starts with the first time home buyer and moves up from there. sometimes these are the first people in their family to own a home and it's hugely rewarding. we are doing everything that we can to take the opportunities that are available and help the people. be there for them, and allay some of their fears and concerns. we're in that process every step of the way. that creates a customer for life and that's what we're looking for. that's what we do here at bank of america. if we don't act, and that's what we're looking for. medical bills will wipe out their savings. if we don't act, she'll be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition. and he won't get the chemotherapy he needs. if we don't act, health care costs will rise 70%. and he'll have to cut benefits for his employees. but we can act. the president and congress have a plan to lower your costs and stop denials for pre-existing conditions. it's time to act.

( car door closes ) ooooch! hot seat! hot! hot! hot! time to check your air conditioning? come to meineke now and get a free ac system check. at meineke, you're always the driver.

all right,er ka. tonight's "shot" is the reason they invented the internet in the first place. the amazing bunny who walks like a person. walks like a bunny walking like a bunny on its hind legs. behold the awe inspiring wonder. ♪ here comes peter cotton tail bunny on two legs. >> yes. bunny on two legs. >> i thought bunnies could only hop on two legs. this bunny can walk. it is amazing. >> i know. yep. >> just like a dog. do anything for a treat. >> that bunny has been signed up by caa. a big competition between different agencies. >> a little battle brewing there? yeah. good times. >> there you go. that's it. >> the bunny is going to take over our jobs after it goes to
