officers, especially let's take new york city where i am, we have a procedure that we follow that it's up to the supervisor. if we have a person in a police chase for a vehicle and we have the license plate, the supervisor will call off that chase unless there was deadly physical force or a felon or some maim crime that took place. and also we use our aviation units a lot. they stand a better chance of staying with the vehicle than going on the pursuit. so it's up to the supervisor. there goes another police car passing him. >> is an by for us. we're just now at the top of the hour here and want to just recap for people watching and wondering what in the world we're looking at. this is a breaking story out of dallas county, texas. this police chase you said way. you're looking at live pictures thanks to or cbs affiliate there. several patrol car, i counted something lying eight or nine chasing behind this gray pickup

truck. been going on for about an hour now. started around 11:00 texas time. moving westbound on 635 toward theed theed theed a addison, the suspect tried to drive away from a gas station without paying. that's how this whole thing started. collin county sheriff's office says as the suspect was being pursued, he or she tried to run over a law enforcement officer. so at some point near loop 12 and interstate 45, we saw some of the officers throwing out stop sticks trying to get the driver to pull over, trying to maybe flatten out some of these tires. but as we can see, the attempt failed. we've been talking it to former nypd supervisor wally zimes. he's been talking to us on the phone and watching it with us. i guess it's impossible to tell, but we can tell this car is

flying by the other cars. what are we, 90 plus miles an hour? >> he would say he's over 75 miles an hour considering that the speed limit there is about 6 60. it's bertha he's on that straight path than going in and out of the city streets. and, again, keep in mind, soon schools will be getting out for lunch, more people will be getting out of their offices for lunch. so it's real important that they keep him contained right now in this area. >> sorry we lost the picture there, but we got it back and this is a gray f-15 1 50 ford peckup truck. pick upstruck and heading right into the dallas/ft. worth metroplex, population 6 million. but it is the noon hour, it could be worse. it could be rush hour. it is not. it looks like a fairly dry pavement, although i think i saw a little bit of moisture on the

pavement a little bit earlier. an attempt to disabled vehicle throwing out spike strips to deflate those tires may or may not have worked. it's a process that takes obviously several miles for to take full effect. he had been going at highway speeds. now the driver is going somewhat faster than the rest of the traffic. and as wally zines pointed out, several police vehicle, one unmarked and one marked have sped up ahead of him. tell wlaus thus what they might to. >> they might have a tactical plan in place where they want to have traffic moved off the highway further up. as you can see, we have a little less traffic, have people pull off to the side, so they could do whatever the maneuver they want. there's three different types of maneuvers on high speed chases. they could try to box them in, they have the pet maneuver where they tap the rear of the let or

right of the car, and we have the spike strich strips which deflate the tires. right now i would think that they have some plan in mind that they want to do with this particular individual. and keep in mind, something that's very important, most police officers, law enforcement, get hurt on car stops. so keep in mind that when this comes to a stop, the car stop is the most important thing with safety for the officers and civilians and the particular person. >> any chance they're talking to him on his cell phone? >> there's always a possibility. if they did their intelligence, which i'm sure they have, and they found out that it is his truck, they would make contact with him and try to talk to him. all these things are possible. and they're all good advantages for this to come to a safe ending. >> do you deploy a lot more assets when a fellow officer is

involved? >> absolutely. you have to understand, we treat all crimes -- just so you know, and don't get the wrong impression, we treat every crime we go after, we give it the best. the law enforcement, the police departments, federal, state and local, it's like a second family. you work together and your life depends on each other, so you try to give it your best. as you would any other type of crime. but there's a bond that you establish. >> absolutely. >> and i think you mentioned depending on what county the pursuit may be taking place, that that particular county takes the lead in the pursuit, but what we're hearing is that officers -- this is multiinjure driks al. officers from three different countieses are pursuing this truck. so when it comes to -- let's say when, when their -- and it looks like almost this truck -- are

you watching with us? it almost looks like it zil zagged. do you think perhaps the spike strips worked some maybe he's slowing down. >> maybe. there goes one as you can see. just the other -- i don't know if that's an unmarked car. but, yes, you're absolutely right in that respect. >> so what do you think this officer is righting to do? are you with us? >> wally, are you with us? >> officer in close pursuit here. three counties involved. grayson, collin and dallas. and to the best of our knowledge, this suspect is in dallas county. our affiliate is providing these live overhead pictures. this is obviously a help copter chase, too, because a lot of news agencies are following this. police -- are police and helicopters, or do they rely on the pictures that tv is provide something. >> you rely on these helicopters because and you have point to point communication, the police helicopt helicopter, the aviation units. but also keep in mind they're air monitoring this, too. they have supervisors monitoring

this both who are in vehicles and also in the dispatch center. this is a very, very important thing because of course the possibility of injury or a serious accident. and keep in mind the weather is incleme inclement, it is raining. >> oh, it is raining. >> do people in these -- no two are alike, but do they tend to go to places they're familiar with? >> some do. and this particular person, they wept to a gas station and if they've done it once, they usually do it again and they know that they get away with it at that particular gas station. so he probably does know the area or she, whoever is operating that vehicle. it's a lot of strategy. it's a cat and mouse game. but the most important thing is the safety aspect of it. >> well, again, i don't understand -- at some point they

decided to pursue this hguy a lt more closely as opposed to following back several hundred feet. so we'll see what they're up to. >> they had something planned back there. they might have had a spike strip out and if you notice, you deviated from his center plain where he's operating the vehicle now. >> i think you may be right. >> i'm also being told, we're watching this pursuit taking place westbound on 635, now i think they're on a different highway. this is southbound 45 in ellis. and, again, just to reiterate, this pursuit has been happening for over an hour and as we were pointing out when this whole thing started because this individual sped away from a gas station. he or she could have a full tank of gas and this could continue on for hours. >> and one of the things the law nationally in regard to hot pursuit, which this is, so if he crosses over to another state, the law enforcement from dallas,

texas that are pursuing him right now have the right to go into the next state and pursue him. so there's no jurisdiction that, oh, i crossed the line, you can't get me anymore. >> if they run the plate, they know what, if any, prior record this suspects has and i assume that that would also tell them whether the person is likely to be armed. would you make that assumption, as well? >> here's one of the things you always go with. you go with the premise that the person could be armed or is armed until you prove differently. when we make a gun arrest, we never stop to search when we find one gun. we go with the assumption there could be a second gun. again, safety is paramount. and car stops and domestic violences are incidents where cops get killed and seriously injured the most. >> and you would never do a road block, would you? >> you know what, not -- if there was no traffic there, there are things you can set up,

but the road block, you'll have damage. you're going to have a collision. someone might get hurt seriously. but we've got a lot of cars, a lot of law enforcement cars coming in on this. so somewhere along the line, there will be some sort of stop. they may even have the spike strips set up totally across the highway and traffic is being deviated off on one of the exits further down the highway. >> it's amazing that someone would take a fairly low order of misdemeanor, driving off without paying for gas, and escalate to one of the most serious felonies this is. i assume it could be attempted murder of a police officer, which in texas i emergency could carry an awfully stiff penalty. >> in new york city, and i'm sure it's the sale thing all over the united states, assault on a police officer is what we call assault two and that's a

high felony. >> punishableab by -- >> seven years in jail or higher. >> okay. well, we're on i-45, have been for a while. >> they're in innis. so this whole chase has been happening through multiple countieses. that's why there are three different jurisdictions at least county wise, police who are pursuing this truck. you can see that the cop car out in front of the truck, they're trying to, gis, get around him in different way, different man you've, talking about speck strips to possibly get this individual to stop. we've been watching this here live on "hln" for the last 20 minutes or so, but the pursuit we're told has been taking place, gosh, an hour, hour and 11 minutes or so. >> you see two police cars right there right now. this could be, i don't know if

it is, this could be the beginning of the box situation. >> so explain that. >> what happens is you get two cars in front or you get two cars one in the front and one in the back, and when you have an area open where there is no traffic, you try box them in. the lead car gets behind him and goes slower and slower and the one behind him starts to, you know, get in on his rear. and it's called the box situation. >> who is to say that the truck driver wouldn't ram the police car? >> he may well do that. >> and that's what you're talk you go about just some terms of these police officers putting their lives in danger to stop this guy. >> absolutely. the truck right now, that truck can do a pit maneuver on the li police car. >> that looks hikelike a dps ofr trailing him and a local police in the front.

>> we have a city wide frequency that we're able to communicate car to car. and they have what they call a point to point system where they have county, state and local where they can go on one frequency. there aretiple frequency, and one is a point to point where they can all talk together. so they have that communication ability. >> they just say go to channel whatever. >> all units switch to channel c. >> it doesn't look like the spike strips worked. i think that's a fair assumption. the wet pavement obviously that presents a challenge, but as you say, they may be starting to box this driver in. thankfully the traffic is pretty light. now it looks like they're peeling back and they'll let him pass again. let just watch and see what happens. he has never been off the freeway system in over an hour, he or she. the suspect is wanted for assault on a police officer,

that being trying to run over a police officer who was responding to a report, i guess, of a driver driving off without paying at a gas station in grayson county. we're talking several miles north of dallas. the pursuit began there, it went through collin county, which is immediately north of dallas, and is now in or near dallas proper on interstate 45. it is the noon hour, it's 12:14 central daylight, very light traffic thankfully. a few truckers, but that's about it. they tried a few spike strip man urs without any success so far. the driver's been going pretty much at highway speeds although at one point speeded up and looks to be going a little bit faster than highway speed. it's hard to gauge, but i would assume that everybody around there knows it's a pursuit in progress and they're slowing down if they're not entirely pulling off. there was trucker pulling out. a lot of people are on the side on the apron here.

they're giving as much ground as they possibly can to save themselves an sad save other d r drive drivers. the chase continues on i-45. >> if you notice, he was staying parallel to him, which is an indication that they could try to keep him in that express lane for the spike strips so he doesn't deviate over to the right. >> or off an exit ramp and taking this whole thing into secondary roads, correct some. >> correct. secondary roads that the hour are nat good choice. >> it's not clear if they have been in contact with him. i think the assumption would be they haven't, but we don't really know. it's been over an hour. is there anytime limit on this? time is on your side, right? >> never a time limit.

time will go on and on. there's always a tour at 4:00 and 12:00. they'll stay with it as listening as they have to. >> there's overtime involved, is that what you're saying? >> there's always overtime especially for the arresting officer. the process hch-but this is, you know -- there might be more to the picture. unless the person is scared. because petit larceny is a mi misdemeanor. but the fact that he assaulted a police officer, that changes everything. all bets are off on this particular situation. >> what's the trick in laying down spike vips? they tried three times apparently without success. >> the trick is not knowing -- the driver not knowing where they are or seeing them thrown out. the hard part about it is you have to worry about other traffic that have nothing to do with this that might run those

spike strips. that's why you try get ahead of this particular person and have other people exit off the highway and have them in an area where he didn't see them placed. so it's all a game of timing, cat and mouse, and right place, right time. >> absolutely. mike brooks on the line, too. how are you do somethiyou doing? have you been watching this? >> yeah, he's now -- he or she now looking like is he southbound on 45, has just left dallas county and now into ellis county. >> he's not in dallas county anymore? >> apparently he is now going to ellis county. it's unusual that we've seen this guy, he has stayed on the interstate. and has not gone to any side streets. what we see a lot of times is somebody who is being chased,

nell they'll go it an area that they're familiar with. but he's stayed on the interstate for over an hour we know that he's wanted for assaulting a police officer, i guarantee you that they are going to chase him probably until the wheels fall off. >> if he has a full tank of gas, it could be corpus christi. >> is that's exactly right. >> one of those he could get 400 miles out of those things. we don't know who is behind the wheel, but apparently a drive-off situation is what res plea s precipitated it. and then apparently tried to run over a sheriff's deputy. and this chase has gone for almost an hour and a half and is now heading south, i think still on i-45. i've not seen him -- entering navarro county now.

we've got a lot of jurisdictions here. every time they pick up another county, what happens? do those agencies respond, as well or do they just let the cars that are in this pursuit continue it? >> they'll usually go ahead and get one of the units from that particular county, some of the other ones will drop off. but the one when has the eyeball, the one who started the chase will pursue the car along with department of public safety, the equivalent of texas highway patrol, if you will. and as wally was saying, there is a mutual aid frequency in texas that they can switch to, so one unit going from one jurisdiction it another injuries dick to jurisdiction to another jurisdiction, this can he xhomm all the way as well as from the ground and on in the air. and that's probably how they planned on putting down the

spike strips. decide to go ahead, get a particular area, use the spike strips which was to no avail. but sill very, re dangerous to law enforcement and to the public who's in the root of this chase. >> and, wally, again, the agencies that have moved fast and gone ahead of him, there's at least four that i've counted, again tell us, i hate to ask you to -- what do you think they're up to? >> basically they have and at tack plan in lays. they probably are going further down the highway where he won't see and probably put some more spike strips out. one of the other things that mike had mentioned with coordination with the other law enforcement, the other jurisdictionses will be working also on those streets should in fact this particular person decides to it at that time streets. they'll stop the traffic at the lights so they can continue this this in a safe fashion. but there must be another tact plan that's in place further on

down this highway and i'm sure we'll be seeing it. >> further down the highway, i guess if you look at the map, we were looking at 45 takes you to houston. so let's say you're a member of the houston police department. what might you be doing tactically speaking to aid in this pursuit and hopefully put to a stop? >> get rid of a lot of the traffic that's on that road where the pursuit is taking place. have vehicles that are ahead exit off that highway so we have less traffic so they can have an opportunity to use multiple tactical plan, when a box, a pit maneuver, a spike vistrip? >> how far ahead do you think police are planning? >> i would think with the communication system that they have, it would be relatively maybe a mile or two ahead. >> and, mike, are you still on the line? >> let me ask you maybe if you could weigh in as well on just the different options. as we watch this car fly down

this highway, what are the different options? we've seen attempts at -- unsuccessful attempts at spike strips. what are other maneuvers that police and these cop cars can do to stop this guy or gal in. >> it's difficult because as we have seen with the spike strip, just laying them out will is a difficult. we've had a number of officers killed in the line of duty this year involved some vehicle pursuits. and also as was mentioned, the pit maneuver. basically just trying to by the this person out and see if they run out of gas. but if he has a full tank of gas, he could go past houston. k he could go a long way. but the main thing is the safety of the public. that's what you're worried about. because you always have to assume that this person inside this vehicle could be armed and dangerous. you really don't know exactly,

you know, what it was that brought this person who decided to run from the police. and everybody thinks that they'll be able to run from the police and they're not. but we see this car now looks like he's going maybe 65, 70 now this and out of traffic moving right along. and one of the other things, too, that truckers, they go along, they have a citizens band radio system, they talk to each other also down the road and sometimes they can provide law enforcement with intelligence of what is up ahead, also. because if he's going 65 miles an hour, that's basically at 60 miles that's a mile a minute that that person is going along the highway. so up ahead as they're trying to make plans well ahead now, it looked like for a minute that he was going to try to go off the road. here he is now going off on on -- >> on the shoulder almost. >> on the shoulder, yeah. now he's back. he was trying to avoid spike

strips it looked like. >> well south of dallas on i-45. corsicana is the town i'm trying to remember the name of. and we're talking maybe two hours or less from the houston metro area. do they care whether he get there is to that traffic in. >> absolutely. because if you figure there is a lot of truck around houston. they're in smrl time zone, so they're kind of lunch hour rush time, if you will. and by the time he gets down there, it's going to be pushing rush hour on a holiday friday. so there will be a lot of people on the road. i was just out here in atlanta with my work friends and there's a lot of traffic just out in the atlanta area already. so houston is very congested, but they've got to be planning well ahead and probably telling

them you have a chase coming your way. you also have to think about the helicopter. they'll have to get another air unit up because that chopper will have to come down for fuel sometime and you don't want to lose the eyeball on this person especially from the air. because that allows your coordination. >> is it just me or does it look like the car is bumping along perhaps as though it has fallen upon some of the spike strips? >> does to me. >> it could very well, because the back left -- the back rear tire looks like it's going down on the rim a little bit. definitely doesn't look like it has any run flat tires. so it definitely looks hike that's one of those spike strips had an effect on that. we haven't seen the tire spread like -- >> there we go. >> there it goes, yeah. >> and it looked like they veered off. so as this car is slowing down,

now what? unfortunately, shot is so tight that we can't see the patrol cars behind them. i imagine we're about to. now what, mike? >> well, as i said, you always have to be prepared that this guy or woman, whenever they stop, there's always the possibility they could bail out. and i guarantee you that in one of the first three vehicles behind this person is a k-9 you want. we see that a lot of times they'll come up with the dog because if this that person runs, they won't outrun a german shepard. so you always have to be prepared for a felony car stop. if the person does not bail, they'll try to get the person via pa system to turn the engine off, reach around with their left hand, take the key, put them out the car. but that's down the road. first we have to get the vehicle stopped. >> the fact that it's disabled, wally, does it make the pit

maneuver more or less problematic? >> it's more problematic because the balance is off on the vehicle and if it was on high speed, it loses control. what mike mentioned is so true. they'll treat this as a felony and go through all the procedures needed for the safety of both the officers and the particular person operating that vehicle and the other cars in the area. >> moving much, much slower, perhaps half the speed of earlier, but cheerily the left rear tire is gone. he's on the rim, which obviously the mobility is diminished and certainly the steering capacity is greatly diminished. he's running out of options, but not running out of real estate. he is on i-45 approaching the halfway point between dallas and houston.

this start the a ked a couple o countieses north of dallas. a driveoff was the original car and this man or woman is wanted for assault on a police officer trying to run down a share rev's deputy who may have been responding to that crime seen. this chase has been a lot of time and assets. there is a police helicopter in pursuit. again, we're talking about an area maybe 60 miles south of there is perhaps approaching corsicana on a route that would lead it houston. we're at least 50 miles south of dallas as this chase continues. >> we have been talking to our experts here, mike brooks, wally zeins, trying to understand which what may be happening. again, it's been happening since right around 11:00 their time. so just about an hour and a half in ou now. the good news, the back left tire is shredded. so that truck likely going half

the speed as it was earlier. >> it's either an exit ramp or -- yeah, it looks like he's going off an exit ramp. guys, what do you think? >> yeah, it looks like the first time he's gone off on an exit ramp on the interstate. and if he decides to go off road with that rear tire, he's not going to get very far because he won't have traction. >> wet pavement, too. >> exactly. and one of the other things, too, we notice that it looks like he's got very tintsedded w tibts itted windows. so they'll have to use extreme caution because they won't see much of what's going on inside the cab of that truck. so that's just another thing that the officers will have to deal with is the tintsed wed wi of that truck. >> we say male or female, but they know. >> they should. >> for texans who may be watching, this is exit 232 off

interstate 45, called rome road. i'm other, roane road. well south of dallas. maybe an hour south of dallas. and it's in a very rural area. he or she is just crawling along right now. the pursuit continues. it's in the clear when they deployed any assets or anybody's trying to box this driver in. it would -- it seems unlikely because they didn't know what exit the driver would take, but clearly it changes the dynamic of this chase considerably now that they're in a rural area, but on on surface streets and off the interstate hooighway system. you can see what's left of the rim on that left rear is causing a lot of problems. a lot of rain. man, a lot of rain. standing water on the road. again, a driver that is running out of options. wanted for assault on a police officer, perhaps an hour and a

half ago. and now the driver is turning left. not clear what his intentions are. any reason to believe, guys, either one of you that he's in an area they're familiar with? >> i wouldn't get off the interstate if i wasn't familiar with the roads and run right into a dead end. as i said earlier, usually we see people go to areas that they're familiar with during a chase. so that's always a possibility that maybe he is from this area, has friends or associates, relatives from this area and you knows soyou -- and he knows some of the back roads. but it's a plus for law enforcement because they'll be able to lay down another spike strip if they can get the sheriff's office to get out in front of them. >> do you become more aggressive if you're in an area like this, if it's rural, you don't have to worry about bystanders and things like that?

>> you have to follow the law in the sense that the what you e enforcement is doing exactly what they're professionally trained to do. geographically, the streets are a lot tougher than the highway. i would think this particular driver wants to get back on the highway only because, you know, i don't think he or she knows where he's going. >> well, it's a guy. he's got a beard. >> looks like a male, definitely. >> an on the phone at the time. >> windows rolled down. we're getting a really good look thousand. now. >> could be making a deal. >> who might he be talking to? >> he could be talking to the police who have captured his cell phone number. >> he's waving. >> he could be talking to a relative. >> and and, you know, he also could be in edp, an emotionally disturbed person, that just doesn't care. >> are you kidding me? he's waving. >> has nothing to lose.

>> well, you can't second guess anything. >> absolutely. well, the worst that could happen would be he tries to take a hostage. but there's been no indication of that. apparently there's only one person in the car. we can confirm it is male, a bearded subject who has been talking on the cell phone. the window was down of this ford f-150, pursued by several jurisdictions. again, the chase began an hour and 40 minutes ago roughly. a couple of counties north of dallas. assault on a police officer. it hardly gets more serious than that. and there's a lot of challenges, not the least among them the wet pavement and the fact that this truck is disabled and this guy is clearly desperate to get away. no telling what his game plan is. i doubt he really has thought it through. he's just taking it moment by moment. but an hour and 40 minutes into a chase, assault on a police officer is the charge. very slow pursuit on roane road,

the driver having exited interstate 45 and how in a rural area between dallas and houston. look at this. look how close he was to that police car trailing him. >> he also could have committed another crime somewhere else that we don't even know about. key ha he could have stolen that truck or committed a more serious offense and was running out of gas and decided the heck with it, i'm going to get gas and take off on had one. >> he's in the city of corsicana, we're told. and there's a map of corsicana. pretty good sized town. to reason to believe he got off there for any particular reason. it doesn't look like he has a route that he's trying to follow, he's just trying around, but evening he was probably motivated by the fact that he lost his left rear tire. is that your guess, guys? >> yes, most likely. and one of the other things

they've done is to get a listing on that tag number. if, in fact, it is his truck, they can find out exactly where he lives, have someone go out to talk to someone at his house, find out -- maybe that's how they got the cell in that. speculative, but these are things and it's because they've had a lot of time since it started to do some of these things if they were able to. >> wally, you're a negotiator by trade. what would they have been talking to him about on his cell phone? what would be the tradeoff for him? >> the tradeoff would be that if it was an attempted assault on a police officer, it's not as serious as an assault. it's a petit larceny. we can talk to you, you know, we'll talk to the district attorney, pull over for your safety, our safety and the public's safety. just get a dialogue going, talk with the guy. tell him it's something that we can work out together, if you just pull over, we can sit down

and talk it man-to-man. >> you don't go anger, right some. >> no. no anger at all. >> no worst case scenario, you're in a world of hurt, we're going going to take you down. nothing like that. >> we're here to help you, be a part team. >> that's fascinating. you and i ought to have a long talk. he's on clearly a rural stretch of road in corsicana and we hope for everybody's sake that he doesn't approach or get anywhere near a bystander. >> i don't think he has a clear where he's going. >> i don't think so either. he's boxed in. he got around that police car. we're in the end stages of this clays, it's clear. he has one disabled wheel. he's driving on the left rear rim of this ford f-150. and this thing is going to end pretty soon. that is at least our best guess. boy, it's been raining a hot there.

that's certainraining a lot mo but you have to know that sirens are blaring. everybody knows in the neighborhood that there is a pursuit or some police activity understand way. again, a man being pursued for assault on an officer. in this case a sheriff deputy in grayson county, two counties no. >> narrator: dallnorth of dalla. it began before the noon hour -- i'm sorry, 11:00 hour dallas time. and it's been going on for an hour and 45 meants. now in the city of corsicana just off interstate 45. the driver pursued on 5 f45 for most of this chase. didn't look like he was weaving in and out of traffic, or erratic or trying to take anybody out, but he made three

m maneuvers to avoid spike strips three different times an apparently on the fourth occasion when you could see him weaving along the road trying to quickly change lanes, one of those spike strips took effect and now he is plowing lieu ra i rain covered streets, apparently still talking on his cell phone. now he's on a somewhat busier street of corsicana and we're continuing to follow this. we don't know how and when it will end. but there are many techniques. again, we're on city streets. what changes here, guys, for the takedown? >> you have at bit more area to work with, chuck. and, again, the put more people in danger when you get back on to a thoroughfare like this. but then again, also, there's always a possibility they could get him boxed in, but you don't want to put the lives of any officers in danger by putting

them out in front of him if possible. looks like now he's getting back on to an interstate. >> it sure does. >> and that's where he has been chased most of time this afternoon. but with that left rear wheel disabled and just riding on the rim, eventually that rim will break down, too, especially if it's an aluminum rim. it won't last a long time either. >> how do you keep the adrenalin in check if you're pursuing this guy? is that a problem? >> right in the beginning of a chase, sometimes your adrenalin is pumping, but as it gets going, it's ban over an hour and 45 minutes. you kind of settle back down and you just try to -- you you worry about keeping this guy in sight, keeping this person from wrecking in to somebody else. those are the things that concern you about what's up ahead. a supervisor will decide whether or not we'll take this guy.

i think probably in matter what had happened, if there had not been an assault on a police officer, you may have seen them break off the chase. but when you've got an apo like in and a possibility of this guy being armed and dangerous, they'll continue the pursuit like they have. >> you mentioned the possibility of being an emotionally disturbed person. it looks like the driver is getting off the freeway again. i'm pot entirely clear about that. do you know that because you've run the plate and you know who the driver is, or because of the behavior of the driver? >> well, a little of both. a, the behavior of 9 driver waving and throwing a kiss to the helicopter, secondly, if the detect it differences were able to interview the family if in fact that truck is his and the fact that someone in the family says he has a problem. there go as pit maneuver. they'll try it on the other side now. >> better to try it on the side where he goes in -- where you can dump him into the dirt and then he won't be able to get any

traction back. but, yeah, that pursuing officer just fell a little bit short. he's trying to get him with his push bumper instead of using the whole force into the left rear quarter panel. but it didn't work. >> not all cruisers or patrol cars have them. >> they use those bumpers for people like that get stuck either on the highway or they alleviate damage to the vehicle itself, the police vehicle. >> we're in a rural stretch here, that's clear. would you ever just -- nobody cowboys up and just goes after this guy. it's a very it displeases ca di. >> they have the plan hrd in place. it's just a question of timing

when to put it into effect. >> different jurisdictions, you know, they are different rules an and regulations. so they'll go by what their book says and if they get a chance, it depends on what the rules and regulations are. >> we just saw an overpass. if you did a pits maneuver near an overpass, it could be fatal. >> absolutely sglp a. >> and also this is a two way highway. >> i guess the best opportunity was back there at the end of that exit ramp when he was almost stopped. not clear what's in the back of the truck. some sort of perhaps household items. nothing that looks awfully dangerous, but it's hard to tell. the windows's rolled back up, this is it a beera bearded male. all of the dallas stations are in pursuit and they're a long

way from home and getting even further. corsicana about 60 miles or so from dallas/ft. worth. the assault began approaching two hoursing ing ing a north of and the chase understand way south of 45. we're this corsicana texas. we had heard that he was on 7th avenue, which is one of the main drag, but i don't think that's still the case. he's turned to another highway. did he briefly he did briefly go back on what looked like a highway. now a two lane rain slickeded friday on this friday before columbus day. the pursuit continues. it's up to two hours in length. this is a guy who is wanted f e assault on a police officer. the spike strips finally took hold on the third or fourth attempt and the left rear tire has been disabled. he continues to drive on the rim of that ford f-150 peckup truck.

anything you want to add, guys? >> the only thing i can say -- mike, go ahead. >> you you always worry, even talks about the guy running out of gas, but you always -- the police officers, that's why whenever i got below half a tank, you always topped off. there's always a concern that could you get in a chase like this, at least i always -- there was always my concern. and that's why whenever you get below a half as a law enforcement officer, you want to top that tank off. >> exactly right. that's an east/west rule of thumb. the other thing that's positive is the fact it's raining. rain always helps law enforcement especially in this type of situation. crime is less when it's raining and it also impedes his driving in the sense of speed. >> would you ever stage a road block? >> it depends. it depends -- keep in mind, road

blocks kaet a lot of damage. either damage to his vehicle, the between vehicles that are blocking, it's going to be taking out a lot of cars out of service. it depends on the law enforcement agency and also what they want to do. for this particular situation here, they seem to have it under control. they'll stay with it. right now it's moving along. it will take time and, again, time is on their side. so why add salt on the wound. >> exactly. all right, we'll it take a quick break. if anything happen, we'll break off with the break and come right back. be right back in a minute.

we're almost two hours in to a police chase in the north texas area. it began in grayson county north of dallas, went through collin

county, fpursued i-45, to where we are right now, corsicana, three counties are chasing a gray pickup truck be driven by a male who is being sought for assault on a police officer. there's also one helicopter that has joined this pursuit. this all started around 11:00 central daylight in collin county and has wound up down here in corsicana. it appeared to be nothing more serious than a driveoff at a gas station. somebody who tried to pull away without paying. and when the driver reached the city of melissa, officers said they tried to stop the vehicle using road spikes in an attempt to dodge them, police say he nearly hit the chief of police again in melissa, texas, so what appeared to be the fourth attempt at throwing down spike strips and the driver was able to maneuver away from all other

attempts at disabling his wheels. that spike apparently tore through the driver's rear tire, left rear tire. so he's now moving a lot more slowly on these rain slick streets. law enforcement analyst mike brooks is with us on the phone as well as former nypd hostage negotiator wally zeins, both of whom have been in situations like this. you guys think we're near the end of this thing or could it go on indefinitely? >> if he just left the gas stays, he has a whole tank of gas. it could go on for a while. but my question is does navarro county have any kind of armored personnel carrier that we've seen sometimes use to maybe block or stop him instead of using regular patrol cars. that has been used in the past. we've seen that happen, had one chase down in miami we saw one time. can they get another car in front of him to box him in on streets like this? >> wouldn't this be the right

place to do it, wally, what do you think in. >> right now i would say it's the right place to do a pit maneuver or block it off because it's so rural. we don't see any oncoming traffic to him. the traffic behind him is being blocked off. a fairly good situation unless there's more to the picture that they have intelligence that they found out and they don't want to -- they're waiting. >> about him? >> about him. >> and what might that be? >> possibly what happened before all this went down today that he could be wanted for something else. >> right, a higher crime. maybe he's wanted for a homicide. >> policed it agaimissed it aga. just a gentle tap. doing pretty well for a guy with three tires. it's kind of a mazing. no telling how this thing will end. it's coming up on two hours old now at this point. again, a man wanted for assault on a police officer driving over

or trying to drive over the chief of police of melissa texas responding to report of a driver leaving without paying at a gas station. a seemingly low end crime, a misdemeanor clearly, which has has escalated into a major, major case. this is a lot of people pursuing this guy. but thankfully, it is of off of a busy highway. it moved through dallas without any incident. i-45 is the main artery that connects dallas and houston. again, the incident itself began nor of dallas and moved through the city proper. a large metropolitan area. and this driver was able to negotiate and maneuver around all the attempts at throwing out spike strips but finally the for you one succeeded. now he is in corsicana. it is about an hour south of dallas. we don't know what his intentions are. he is weaving a little bit more. two attempts at a pit maneuver both failed. one about five minutes earlier

than the other. and he continues on the streets in corsicana in what appears to be a very rural area. very little traffic. >> you mentioned something before. mike mentioned before about the darkened windows. that type of ford vehicle that he's driving has a small back seat. he may be, a thought, he could maybe have a child in the back and that's why they didn't want to do a pit maneuver. there might be someone back there. >> look at this maneuver. what have we got going? we've got the box going. that's the box maneuver. >> they're trying to do a rolling roadblock in front of him. but not to any avail right now. great positioning. they can take him out right about there. but -- >> would you need a car behind him to complete this? >> they do have a car behind

him. they're going to use that other car to start the process of -- >> he has his window down. are they trying to talk to him? >> they could be talking to him or using the p.a. to tell the driver to pull over. that's always a possibility. >> i don't think he is going to obey. >> no. imagine. that. >> no kidding. >> two hours into a chase, why would he? >> no telling whether he is armed or telling what his demeanor might be. clearly though, somebody who drives, allegedly drives off without paying at a gas station and who just ramps up this thing all the way to assaulting a police officer is not in his right mind. >> no. >> sure. special lay police chief if he is in uniform. >> what's the protocol of stopping someone you think might be armed? >> there is a whole procedure, chuck. basically called a felony car

stop. after they get the vehicle stopped and we've seen this a number of times, they will have the driver show his or her hand out the window. in this case, this guy's hand. they'll have him reach around with his left hand to the steering column, throw out the keys, open the door, step out with their back to the officers behind him. have him step away from the vehicle in case there are any weapons he would go for. usually have him walk back toward the rear of the vehicle, then get down on his knees, cross his legs behind him and then they come and throw him out and handcuff him and take him into custody. that's the ideal. the tech book stuff that we see only very, very few times at the end of some of these changes. >> anything in the police activity that suggests to you that they know this guy is a little bit unstable or they're treating him differently in some respects? >> well, they are treating him differently because there is an opportunity right now in the geographical location to do the

maneuvers. but in relationship, they might have some intelligence on him that they're very concerned about. and he may be totally unstable. he may have had a past where he has a weapon. it is a lot easier out of certain areas to have a shotgun in the back of your pickup truck. they may think, they may have run his gun licenses to see if he has any or rifles, and he may be a gun collector. who knows? he may be not stable. >> how about suicidal? he may have communicated on a cell phone. i've got nothing to live for. >> that's right. and a lot of things in relationship to suicide by cop have been happening. where he may want to end it all. and that's a very, very serious thing. because it all comes back to the police officer. so you know, they have to handle this with kid gloves. >> your instinct is he is wanted for something he will or has

something else he is running from? >> exactly. there is something he is running from. you don't just run off for paying for 20 gallons of gas and then try to run over the chief of police of a jurisdiction, and then continue the pursuit without going ahead and pulling it over and taking the consequences. there is something else. that's jut my speculation. that there is something else that happened. either today or within the last 24 hours that he's wanted for. >> i agree with you, mike. >> all right. we're a good two hours into this. it started a couple counties nor of dallas. a man is wanted and we do know it is a male behind the wheel of a 150 ford pickup truck which has been pursued for that period of time all the way down i-45 and corsicana from collin county and grayson county. and they've tried several different technique to try to pull this guy over. they have disabled his left rear tire. but he continues to drive flang

or around corsicana without much difficulty, apparently. they've tried a couple of pit maneuvers, gently tapping the rear of the truck. but apparently, he got away. he obviously got away. apparently they did it so gently that it didn't affect his driving much. again, he is disabled only in the respect of that left rear tire gone. he is on the rim but he continues on a highway in the corsicana area being pursued for assault on a police officer. we're not entirely clear what else he may be charged with or is wanted for. but obviously, they've had a chance to run his plate. they know who he is. they know what record he may have. and whether he is likely to be armed. would you know what kinds of weapons he owns, eone of you? wally first. what do you think? >> he had any registered weapons. whether long rifles or handguns. they would know that. keep in mind, in this day and age, it is easy to get

unregistered weapons. he may have. he may be a collector. who knows? >> okay. we're going to take a break for some cable operator in about a minute, i want to warn you ahead of time, for others, we're going to stick with this. it is quite a fascinating police chase. we've covered a lot of them. some of them last minutes, some of them last several hours. we can't glean or divine any intent on the part of this driver. there is no pattern here that either one of our law enforcement analysts has been able to pick up to determine what they think this guy may be up to. but it is the opinion of both of them and perhaps you as well that he perhaps is wanted for something else besides just driving off without paying at a gas station. clearly, he is being sought for assault on a police officer. the police officer in texas was almost run over, allegedly best of my recollection this driver. a male who has been seen talking to a cell phone.

we can only speculate that he was talking to ofgsers pursuing him. there have been several attempts to try, i think, to negotiate an end to this. about five minutes ago, one of the cruisers pulled up. you can see that his, that is the driver's window was down and he was looking to the left and it looked like he may have been talking to the officer. now, what is the fuel capacity of an f-150? is it 30 gallons? co-he go like 400 miles or so? >> probably. and if he has the extra optional tank put in there, he can double it. >> no kidding. >> we have to reason to believe the truck is stolen, do we? >> no, not right now. the law enforcement may know that. because of running the tags, it would come back. if it was stolen, the crime information center that it was in fact stolen but we don't know that for sure.

>> i was going to say, look how rural that is. there are so many opportunities to do something. that's what gets me, makes me think that there is more to the picture. >> a lot more. >> yeah. >>

not long ago, this man had limited mobility. last month, this woman wasn't even able to get around inside of her own home. they chose mobility. and they chose the scooter store! if you or a loved one live with limited mobility call the scooter store! no other company will work harder to make you mobile or do more to guarantee your complete satisfaction. if we pre-qualify you for a new power chair or scooter and your claim isn't approved, the scooter store will give you your power chair or scooter free. that's our guarantee. they were so helpful and nice. they filed all the paperwork, and medicare and my insurance covered the cost.

we can work directly with medicare or with your insurance company. we can even help with financing. if there's a way, we'll find it! so don't wait any longer, call the scooter store today. then they'll start the arrest process for this take-down. >> all thing considered, they picked the perfect place. >> they absolutely did. with the shoulders as soft as they were, you see the rain. you see the officers going through. there was no way he was getting out of that. that officer tried the one pit maneuver, kind of threw the rear end of that truck off a little bit. he was able to go ahead and hit the passenger side corner panel and get him pushed off the side of the road. that law enforcement pickup truck was putting together a roadblock to go ahead and box him in and saw him down. so the other officers could take

the action that they did. >> finally, let's all, gentlemen, take a collective sigh of relief. this thing is over. we have watched this police pursuit for the last 2:05 or so. we've been watching the last hour plus here on hln. i want to thank wally zein and mike brooks to providing your expertise for what has happened here. the final ending of this police pursuit through five different counties in texas, because of a gas drive-off and an sexual assault a police officer. my colleague, veteran, professional colleague, chuck roberts, thank you so much for sitting alongside. >> it all ends in corsicana, tex. >> in a puddle will. >> everyone goes home tonight. >> you got it. >> thank you. >> let's move on here. . the other big story of the day, we're talking about the president. it is hard to describe just how much of a shock this year when's nobel peace prize announcement

was. before the buzz thog, the buzz around the award really centered on a human rights activist in afghanistan, a disdment china, among others. also, the announcement in oslo, norway. the audience actually gasped. listen to this. >> barack obama for extraordinary results -- >> wow! >> a few comments later, the chairman of the norwegian nobel prize committee repeated in it english. >> the norwegian nobel committee has decide that had the nobel peace prize for 2009 is to be awarded to president barack obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. >> we've also heard from the president today. mr. obama admits he did not exactly expect to wake up this morning a nobel peace prize

winner. there he is at the white house. he said he is not sure he deserves to be in the company of past winners who have had so much impact on the world, but he will step award in oslo in december and view it as a call to action to people everywhere. >> i am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the nobel committee. let me be clear. i do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments. but rather as an after playing of american leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people of all nations. >> there is a pretty hefty prize related to it. but president obama will be donating that entire $1.4 million cash prize to charity. a bunch of people are reactioning including the former presidential nominee and a former republican presidential nominee will they are agreeing on one thing here. president obama's nobel peace

prize is in honor for america. >> no bell committee, i can't divine all their intentions but i think part of their decision making was expectations. and i'm sure the president understand that's he now has even more to live up to. but as americans, we're proud when our president receives an award of that prestigious category. >> are you surprised. >> well, i think all of us were surprised at the decision. but i think americans are always pleased when their president is recognized by something on this order. >> i think it is an honor for our country. an honor for him first and foremost, of course, but an honor for our country. i think it is extremely well deserved. >> mr. obama, by the way, is the for you president to have ever won the nobel peace prize.

third sitting president. i-reporters, they have a lot to say here. they have been weighing in as well. the responses have been mixed. ryan from los angeles had this to say. >> i thought to might have, does obama really deserve the nobel peace prize? and thinking about it, i would say maybe. yeah. sure, why not? we went from diplomacy that was awful for the eight speier bush was in office. we went into he go by ourselves, with ourselves, with maybe britain and we went into places where people didn't want us and we didn't deserve to be. we come to a world where the standing of the usa is a lot better than it used to be. a met 180 from what people thought of the usa before. we are respected again in the world. we have our moral authority. and we talk to people.

>> another response to share from you. this one from joe in virginia. a bit of a different take on the nobel's decision. i want to read it to you here. joe from virginia, our thank you to ryan and joe. go to the website and let us know what you think. text us, call us, send us an e-mail. the question, is it a good thing that president obama has won the nobel peace prize? call or e-mail us.

big story out of chicago we've been following on hln. a story of teen violence. in chicago, richard daley now sending dozens more police officers to schools and school bus stops to try to curb this teen violence. it is in reaction to the recent beating death. do you remember the story? the 16-year-old honor student. it happened at a bus stop. others say it was blamed on gangs in the city and they are giving money to help get students jobs. some teens now trying to get more involved. >> since we're the ones doing the killings and we're the ones getting killed, the youth needs to step up. we need to bring a change. >> four teenagers have been charged in the deadly beating of darren albert last month. and a driver ended up in a ditch and could not get out. it was not exactly because she was hurt. it was because she was wasted. it turns out she was a city official and her arrest was caught on camera.

take a good look at this video. the police department released this video of the dui arrest. deborah's car ended up in a ditch back in june. they smelled alcohol when they arrived. there she is, can't quite walk. they had to carry her. the video shows an officer taking mini bottles of wine from the car there. they are about six of them. she did plead guilty. she said she will not be running for re-election. there are women in every community who motivate, inspire, innovate. mickey is one of them. she has work speshlg ever special needs kids and encouraging them to participate in the dance of life. robin meade has more in our series, "breakthrough women." >> reporter: their joy, their

wonderful thing to do. to help children with some type of a disvag to learn how to function in society. >> reporter: now she hopes to inspire others to do what they can to help. >> you can't just pay lip service to something. you have to live it. the announcement that president obama has won the nobel peace prize came as a complete surprise to everyone, including the president. what do you think about the honor the president is receiving? we will share your views on hln.

breaking news out of corsicana where a police chase has just ended. about a dozen patrol cars from three counties in the area chased this ford finish 150 pumt for two hours. at least one law enforcement helicopter joined the pursuit. it all started around 11:00 a.m. and ended up moments ago. we've been watching this whole thing unfoed before us. and a very rural area in a pond behind a tree. literally. take a look. approximately 50 miles south of dallas. officials stay incident began when the suspect tried to drive away from a gas station without paying. an employee from the gas station started following the driver, called police. so then when the driver reached the city of melissa, drivers say

they tried to stop the driver you'ving road spikes. you see that back left tire, it is gone because of the road spikes. in an attempt to dodge them, he nearly hit the chief of police. amazing. what appeared to be the fourth attempt using the spike strips. it tore through the driver's left rear tire. cops officially eventually boxed in the truck, forced him off the road there. arrested him. and he was talking on his cell phone as they pulled him out of car. unbelievable stuff there. also, he maybe couldn't believe it. the president, big news today. president obama winning the nobel peace prize. we want to know your views on this. we've been talking to a live view. let's continue this on the phone from louisiana. what did you think when you woke up this morning and heard this? >> i was thrilled. i wanted to call and congratulate him.

because i think it is well tea served. i want to apologize -- i want to say that i was really offended by what michael steele said this morning. we all living in this country and we're all in this together. i'm just appalled. to make a comment like that. basically, this is america. you're free here to live it, love it or leave it. >> i want to cut you off and get to the next caller. thank you, danny from prescott, arizona. >> first, i would like to say as a disabled american veteran, i highly respect the duly elected president of our country. but i feel his nomination, i would like to know who nominated him and i believe it is absurd. what has he accomplished? as far as bringing peace. he can't even bring peace into his own adopted, if you will,

home town of chicago. i would challenge president obama, he makes a decent wage will maybe there is some way he can donate this money. >> that's exactly what he's going to do. he is giving all $1.4 million. i want to thank both of you for calling in. continue calling, we'll be back.

a police chase in texas now over. hln news and views. hi there. boi, oh, boy, what a day here. the pursuit there lasted a little more than two hours and went through at least five different counties. the driver is in custody now and likely to face multiple charges in all the different counties. officials stay chase began because of basically a gas drive-off. that happened in sherman, tex. that's when the suspect allegedly drove off without paying. after that, an employee from that gas station started following and then called police. when the driver finally received the city of melissa, officers tried to stop the truck using

road spikes. the driver, we've been watching, just serve withed and swebed. the driver nearly hit the melissa chief of police. now the driver is accused of assaulting a police officer. so during the chase, police attempted at least two pit maneuvers. they failed. finally police stopped the truck in valley farms by bumping it several times from behind. you see it coming to a close. the truck landed in that water filled ditch. it has been raining a lot in tex. you see the driver pulled out, pushed to the ground. appeared to be still talking on the cell phone. unbelievable. it is hard to describe how much of a shock this year's nobel peace prize winner was. it centered on a human rights activist in afghanistan and others around the world. at the announcement in oslo, norway, the audience gasped when they heard the winner was president obama.

>> barack obama for extraordinary -- >> a couple minutes later, the chairman of the committee repeated in it english. >> the norwegian nobel committee has decided that the nobel peace prize for 2009 is to be awarded to president barack obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. >> the announcement was the talk of the morning shows. today nbc's "today" show, "good morning america," and cbs's "early show" all really obsessed -- rather assessed the nobel committee's decision. on the "today" show they talked with the gasps of shock we just heard. >> how about those gasps? when the reporters were according this, they gasped in shock. this is a surprise. we're less than a area into this first material of this president

and there are no, not trying to be rude, no major foreign polyachievements to date. why did he win? >> i think as it points out, this is more about tone than sub tan i have the comment. in many ways, this is a european body who is more left leaning, certainly, and opposed to the administration of george w. bush. >> white house aides do believe this will strengthen the president's hand both at home and abroad. >> i want to ask about that. a lot of key decisions being made ahead. it was specifically, what do you think the calculation, how does this factor in around the world when you make a decision in the middle east? >> it is almost as if this was an act of encouragement by the nobel prize commit sgreefl there will be a lot of criticism for the committee for that. the white house believes this will have the most tangible effect on their efforts to isolate iran and north korea will.

>> the nobel committee said they awarded this for changing the tone of american politics. it is almost as if they're saying, we're giving you the nobel peace prize for winning the election. president bush was very you popular in europe and it is almost as if this is more of a comment on the previous administration than it is on the new one. we very seldom have people, i can't recall anybody who won this prize for his aspirations. people usually get it for results. >> so not to be outdone, the blogosphere buzzing with cheers and jeers for the president from the left. he said that the president's win would be hard to think of more electricity triidentifying or deserving recipient. by awarding the prize, the committee is placing hope that he will achieve real results. on the right side, michelle malkin believes he is reeling the prize not for anything he

has done. rather for the symbolism of what he might possibly achieve way off in the future. malkin adds, it is the final nail in the nobel peace prize committee's action. snm top left, a completely different point of view. for preebz are unfathomable, he was awarded the nobel peace prize and encouraged the president turn down the prize saying it makes the committee look foolish. feign had i from eric erickson quoting, i didn't realize, the nobel peace prize had an affirmative action quota for and it that there is no 28 president earned the nomination. we want to hear from you. all kinds of sides, all kinds of partnerships. what do you think about the president winning this nobel peace prize? call us. tech us. don't forget your comments and your name. standard text rates do apply.

another big story you might have seen this morning. nasa crashed a couple of spacecrafts on the surface of the moon all in an effort to find out if there is actually twlaert behind the barren surface. they first shot it to kick up some of the dust. a couple minutes later, nasa probe went through that cloud to prove if there is actually water. then it crashed into the moon. nasa calling this a successful but the space agency isn't quite ready to talk about the experiments if they kicked up water foreca water, and if so, how much. >> we saw the i have pact, we saw the carrot, and we have good measurements which is what we needed. the impact event. so we have the data we need to actually address the questions we sent out to address. that's the fundamental bottom line. that's what i hope you take away. i'm not going to say anything about water or no water. we got the measurements to

released were pictures of the duct tape wrapped around caylee anthony's mouth. there's been a lot of contention over this duct tape which we talked about over the last couple weeks. does it last the duct tape at the anthony household or does it not? if you look closely at this duct tape, see the marking on it for this fire guard duct grand. a rare brand that was made. there was a circle with the name "henk l" in the middle and an area that says 200 degree fahrenheit temperature. there's the duct tape from the gas can from the anthony household. just in looks alone would make it seem like it's a match. however, according to the defense, it is not a match in terms of the fibers that are in the duct tape. however, other tests have shown that chemically the duct tapes were very similar. as you can see on the duct tape that was found at the crime scene, it was very deteriorated. it appears there is hair on it. we did see in the forensic reports as far as caylee anthony is concerned they had to cut

that duct tape out of her hair that was still attached to her skull with that duct tape. another picture that we had released also was the shovel that casey anthony apparently borrowed from the neighbor. she says it was to cut the bamboo from the back. however, there were signs apparently before that there was a hole that was dug next to the pool in the backyard of the anthony's household. no indication it had any type of dna or anything related to caylee anthony on that. those are the photos that are coming out. most of the buzzes around the tape from the crime scene that was around caylee anthony's mouth. >> i had a moment when you said that. that this duct tape was around this child's skull. just that moment to remind you what we're talking about. they're supposed to be back in court again next week. what's that about? >> they're back in court next week because the defense is asking for the case to be completely thrown out, dismissed. so the prosecution has come back. they said, no, this case should not be. the defense is saying there's not enough evidence for this

case to go forward, at least as a homicide case. we will have to see what happens. >> that's defense teams doing what defense teams are supposed to do. >> right, exactly. >> all right. nancy grace producer natisha lance. thank you very much. well, the announcement that president obama won the nobel peace prize came as a complete surprise to everyone including president obama. what do you think about the honor he's receiving? we'll share your views on hln.

as you might imagine, word of the nobel prize announcementh cheers and jeers from the president. from the left "the huffington" post, jay con helbrin writes of the president's win it would be hard to think of a more electrifying or deserving recipient. by awarding him the prize the committee is placing hope that he will achieve real progress in

diplomacy instead of confrontation around the world. on the right, conservative blogger michelle malkin thinks the president is awarded the prize not for anything he's done but for the symbolism for what he might possibly pay chooachie off in the future. she adds it's the final nail in the nobel committee's coffin. talk left has a completely different point of view. big tent democrat, blogs, for reasons that are unfathomable, president obama was awarded the nobel peace price, encourages the president to turn down the prize. eric erickson, quote, i didn't realize the nobel peace prize had an affirmative action quota for it and that there's no way the president earned the nomination. just the wrap up for you there. we want to know your views

on the president winning the nobel prize. let's get to the phones right now. willie is calling us from jackson, mississippi. >> caller: michigan. >> i'm sorry about that, willie. thanks for correcting me. >> caller: well, that's okay. you know, i'm 63-year-old minority, and obviously, you know, i'm really happy for obama as a president, but, however, i'm very disturbed in our country since we have a minority in office, and i hope i'm not right, we have lost respect for the office of the president. we let a guy in the house yell out and call the president a liar. we let rush limbaugh yell that the president he hopes he fails, which means he hopes the country fails. now we have the chairman of the republican party get on air and say the president of the united states is undeserving of the nobel peace prize. what other country in the world is degrading their president for winning such an award? it is so sad that we won't come out and say this man is trying

so hard to put our country back in a bright light, with good ideas. everybody stands him down. >> willie, we're almost out of time. basically you think the president is deserving of the -- you think people that don't think he is, you think they're being disrespectful of him? >> caller: i think they're being disrespectful because they have alternative motives. >> thanks. darryl is calling from texas. what's your take on this? >> caller: my take is, what has he done for humanity? he's not a mother teresa. he acknowledges the muslim community, but he's the first-seated president since national prayer day has been institutioned into the nation's, you know, religious sector, that has not represented the white house or been part of it, himself. as far as i'm concerned -- >> darryl, your take on it -- i

gather your take on it is you don't think he deserves it, which is certainly a valid position, but you also made the statement you had a problem with him acknowledging muslims? >> caller: well, he acknowledges the muslim community but he won't acknowledge national prayer day in the united states. it's a slap in the face to americans. >> let's stick with the question, though. you don't think he deserved the -- >> caller: he does not deserve the nobel peace prize. >> fair enough. that was the question we posed to you and the points of view we want to hear. thanks very much. i got 120 some odd comments about this on my facebook page, richelle carey hln and facebook. here's a sample of the comments. antoine writes, i believe the nobel peace prize was warranted because the president is working to promote peace in america as well as around the world. unfortunately other countries acknowledge his efforts more than people in this country. martin says obama does not deserve the peace prize while

waging war against two nations. it seems hypocritical. willie believes, if president obama does not believe he deserves the peace prize, someone somewhere realizes the effort he's put in to get our country out of the way it has been in. a very heated debate on my facebook page. we wanted your comments. we appreciate it very much. thanks for your e-mail, calls, facebook comments.

measurements we need to address the question. >> it will be a while before the data can be analyzed. the house is expanding its ethics investigation of congressman charlie rangel, getting big now. the democrat admitted serious mistakes on financial disclosures and tax forms. investigators need to figure out if he has more unreported assets. rangel admits he did not disclose or pay taxes on rental income and didn't report $250,000 in assets. he denies a "the new york times" report he helped protect a tax break for a company whose boss pledged $1 million to one of his projects. rangel says he's a victim of a smear campaign. american dad stuck in a japanese jail for trying to snatch his kids away from his ex-wife will spend ten more days in jail. japanese officials need time to decide whether to charge christopher savoy from franklin, tennessee. he was arrested last month after

many of you saw this right here live on hln today. this is a police chase in texas. this thing lasted for more than two hours before it finally ended. hello, everyone, i'm richelle carey. this driver led police through at least five counties. he's in custody. he's going to face probably several charges in all of those counties. so what got his thing started? police say this guy allegedly drove off from a gas station without paying. then when he reached the city of melissa, officers tried to use those road spikes to get this thing to end. well, they say the driver

swerved to avoid them and then the truck nearly hit the police chief of melissa. the driver is accused of assaulting a police officer. finally, 60 miles south of dallas in navarro county this is what happened. police rammed the struck several times from behind, sent it into the swampy ditch there to the right. see in a second, officers start to pull the guy out of the truck, seem like to me and to most people he was talking on the cell phone. yeah. there you have it. well, it's hard to describe just how much of a shock this year's nobel peace prize announcement was. before this morning, the buzz about the award centered on a human rights activist in afghanistan and a political dissident in china. basically that was the focus. well, at the announcement in ozlo, norway, the audience you can hear them gasp. listen to this. >> president barack obama.

>> then a few minutes later the chairman of the nobel prize committee repeated the announcement in english. >> the nobel committee has decided that the nobel peace prize for 2009 is to be awarded to president barack obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. >> the president admits he did not expect to wake up a nobel peace prize winner. not sure he deserves to be in the company of past winners who had so much impact on the world. he will accept the award in december and view it as a call to action for people everywhere. >> i am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the nobel committee.

let me be clear, i do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of american leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations. >> so this surprise comes with $1.4 million in cash and a spokesperson for the president spays that money will be doe nated to charity. a former democratic presidential nominee and former republican presidential nominee agree on one thing. president obama's nobel peace prize is an honor for america. >> nobel committee, i can't define all of their intentions but i think part of their decision making was expectations and i'm sure the president understands that he now has even more to live up to, but as americans we're proud when our president receives an award of that prestigious category.

>> were you surprised? >> i think all of us were surprised at the decision, but i think americans are always pleased when their president is recognized by something on this order. >> i think it's an honor for our country, it's an honor for him, first and foremost, of course, but it's an honor for our country. i think it's extremely well-deserved. >> this is the fourth time a u.s. president has won the prize. i-reporters have been weighing in as well. lots of mixed responses. ryan basilio in los angeles, this is what ryan had to say. let's listen. >> i thought to myself, does obama really deserve the nobel peace prize? and, thinking about it, i'd say maybe, yeah. sure, why not?

we went from diplomacy that was awful for the eight years that bush was in office. we went into everything by ourselves, with ourselves, with maybe britain, and we went into places where people didn't want us and we didn't deserve to be. we come to a world where the standing of the usa is a lot better than it used to be. complete 180 from what people thought of the usa before. we are respected again in the world. we have a moral authority. and we talk to people. >> ryan is very animated. we like that. very passionate. joe condin from virginia, just as passion not from opposite side. this is what he had to say. obama is awarded the nobel peace prize? it used to mean something to receive the award. now it's laughable. what were these people thinking? the nobel prize should recognize

your chance to be heard. welcome once again this is "prime news." i'm mike galanos. let's get to this the step-mom of missing little haleigh cummings breaking her silence, quite a week for misty croslin cummings, first the last to see little haleigh who vanished from her home in satsuma, florida. a few days ago her dad, ron, who stood beside misty, it seemed, married her even, they are getting a divorce. she's on national tv saying she's alive and well and with the other side of the family. take a listen on cbs's "early

show". >> someone came and got her, obviously. i feel like it's on the other side of the family that has her. that's just how i feel. >> all right. other side of the family. we'll take your calls 1-877-tell-hln. joining me to talk about it producer from the nancy grace show also steve rogers detective lieutenant nutley, new jersey police department. natisha, other side of the family, whose side is she talking about ron's, crystal sheffield, what do we know. >> it's a little unclear. i can tell you i spoke to crystal sheffield's side of the family, haleigh's maternal grandmother and she interpreted it as misty talking about their side of the family. she said that she's not surprised. she feels that misty has made these accusations against them before in the past and she said they have absolutely nothing to do with it and, there you go. >> okay. so that any comment from ron,

his attorney, anybody on all this? >> no comment from ron, his attorney on it. what i can tell you is that misty did do this interview without the blessing from her attorney, robert fields, who said that he did advise her not to do this as well as that hypnosis test she talked about during this interview, another thing she was not advising her to do but misty croslin is speaking out saying that she's not worried about getting an arrest. she does believe haleigh is still alive and well someone obviously came into the house and got her but not giving any more specific detail about what happened that night. >> okay. let's bring in steve rogers, talking about misty, she has not given authorities a straight story yet going on national tv cbk "early show" throwing out theories. what do you make about all that? >> she better start worrying. mike, the law enforcement community i'm sure believes she is a primary suspect in this case. maybe she doesn't believe it, but they do. and this is just another

dwirgsary tactic from a certain individual who is a suspect in a very, very serious case obviously. that's what i make of it. diversionary tactic. >> okay. investigators, will they go over that interview with a fine-toothed comb looking for something she said on the cbs "early show"? >> absolutely. in fact, i was looking at the interview myself, looking at body language. i noticed she didn't say it was fact the other side of the family's involved. she said "i felt it" i watched her eyes roll a little, too. all indicators that she's lying. >> let's listen to a bit more of this interview, guys, this is misty asked if ron thinks maybe she had something to do with haleigh's disappearance. again this is cbs "early show". >> he just, he hasn't really said like much about it, you know. he believes me. he doesn't think i had anything to do with haleigh gone missing. >> natisha, is he still standing by her even though he is announcing divorce this week? >> you know, mike he had an exclusive interview with nancy grace a couple nights ago and

from what he is saying he still believes misty's story. that's not the reason for them getting a divorce. he says it has been really stressful and hard on them in terms of people looking at them, giving side glances. and the stress with their families. there's been a lot of in-fighting with their families that has happened the last couple of months and that's the reason for the divorce but not because he doubts misty croslin's story. >> didn't he say something to the effect of, okay, let's get going and ask the questions that need to be asked, something to that effect as he made this divorce announcement? >> right. right. he did feel people have thought all along he has covered up for misty, you know, being that shield for her from everyone else but now that they are getting a divorce, it's opening up the doors for other people to come to her he said so do what you need to do and find my baby. >> back to steve, when you look at this, again, misty is the last person for see haleigh yet authorities can't get the straight story. what methods do investigators use, interrogators to try and get her to finally tell the truth, in full. >> well, it's going to take a

lot of time in this case. see, i believe that the boyfriend here may be involved. he may know something and this idea getting divorced is another diversionary tactic. but somewhere along the line, law enforcement will be able to put some pieces together. time is going to tell the whole story. she's either going to slip up or he's going to slip up but, believe me, they all slip up and just give it a little time, mike. >> okay. guys we'll take a quick break. when we come back, more of misty's stunning interview on the cbs "early show" we'll tell you what she said when asked what do you say when people don't believe you? her answer to that. we'll take your calls your questions your comments. here's the number: 1-877-tell-hln.

someone come and got her, obviously. um, i feel like it's on the other side of the family that has her. that's just how i feel. >> all right. there again, misty croslin cummings soon to be just misty croslin again as she's going to divorce ron cummings, her on the cbs "early show" laying out her theory, someone on the other side of the family. we've dealt with that. we'll take your calls, as always 1-877-tell-hln. linda with us in new york. your thoughts here? >> caller: hi, mike, how are you doing? >> hi, linda. good. >> caller: two quick points. number one, why is ronald taken off the hook just because they said he was at work. god forbid if this baby is no longer with us, they have no time of death or -- or any means of which she disappeared. >> okay. point two? >> caller: and point two if you notice on the first "today show" interview with misty and ron,

she looked at him every time a question was asked and he answered all the questions and, when he was on nancy grace and she was grilling him, if you noticed from the very beginning, someone was boo-hooing on the phone so much, now all of a sudden he's nonchalant and doesn't know the answers to any of the questions. >> questions about ron. natisha, what do authorities tell us about ron cummings? no one has been completely ruled out, right? we'll start there. >> ronald cummings and crystal sheffield have been cleared of suspicion in this case. >> okay. >> as far as her other point as far as misty looking at ronald cummings, i think this new interview today was a new misty we have seen, she was a lot more forthcoming with the questions. >> yeah. >> as ronald cummings has said in the past he's no longer there to be that shield for misty croslin. so, maybe police will be getting the answers that they had been wanting for quite some time. >> we can only hope. steve, what do you make of in just a basic point misty going out there without a lawyer or

anything? i'm not for everybody being lawyered up but i think if anyone needs her it is her. >> certainly does. she might be as we say in law enforcement a loose cannon. no one is ruled out in this investigation and don't be surprised down the road somebody close to her is ready to talk to the police. we might see that happen. >> natisha, let's talk about misty's inconsistencies and get everybody up to speed. some of the glaring inconsistencies, what do we have? i know for me anyway, is ron cummings comes home at 3:00 in the morning and the beds are made, that's cause for concern. what else? >> right. she said she tore the house up looking under beds but we know they were on the floor, just mattresses. the beds were made. she said the kids went to bed at 8:00. she went to bed at 10:00. who was sleeping where at which time also who was in the home during that time, mike? we heard misty when she gave her polygraph and hypnosis and voice stress analysis, it was a dream idz like state and there could have been up to four people in the home but it was all unclear.

>> she's all over the place, steve. >> yes, she is. >> there's hours of conversation with authorities. what do you do, just keep talking and hope. >> well, like i said, time is going to be the tale here but seems like the crime scene was sanitized pretty good. you know, things were washed, et cetera. but i'm confident the police are now waiting. she does more interviews, the more talking, the more police information goes out, they gather intelligence through viewing her tapes, listening to her. just wait and see, just wait and see. >> okay. let's listen -- because a lot of people, i tease this, let's listen to misty answering her critics, those that don't believe her. here's what she had to say on the cbs "early show". >> i just need to move on and look for the right person because they're focusing on me and i'm not the one that has hague -- haleigh, i don't know

where she is. >> -- police would be able to move on if it they could get a clear picture of exactly what happened that night from misty croslin but because they have been unable to do that with her, they can't move forward or go forward to look into other leads or other things that they could be looking into because they don't even have a clear picture of what happened that night. >> all right. guys, have to leave it there. steve, natisha, as always, we appreciate it. coming up a horrific stabbing in a ucla chemistry lab college student accused of slashing a classmate's throat. poor girl bleeding as an entire class watched in horror, on campus, middle of day, middle of class. we'll talk to somebody who was there and witnessed it. we'll take your calls at 1-877-tell-hln. welcome backo

"prime news." a terrifying attack in the middle of a chemistry lab on

ucla's campus, cops say a male student slashed a female student's throat as some 30 classmates watched in horror. witnesses tell police 20-year-old damon thompson stabbed her several times even repeat punched her repeatedly. >> it looked to be a serious injury. >> yeah, it looked to be a serious injury. i thought she died. there was blood everywhere. >> imagine witnessing that. she did survive but has critical injuries. right now he is held on suspicion of attempted murder so. many questions, how did he know her, what was the relationship? how did this happen. joining me to talk about this cyril bida, who called 911 for the victim get his first-hand account and clinical psychologist wendy walsh. cyril, what did you see? tell us the story. >> i was on the sixth floor we have, you know, two labs.

we have the organic chemistry and bio chemistry. and i was in the bio chemistry labs and then it was 15 minutes within me starting the class and i hear somebody yelling call 911, call 911, not from your cell phone. and so i opened the door and i saw the victim with the t.a. and the t.a. was holding her -- holding her up next to him and then he had his hand on her throat and, you know, she was bleeding a lot. and so, you know, in shock, i thought some -- something happened a flask blew up or something in lab so i waved them in and told them, you know, to bring them into our lab and sit her down. so we sat her down and brought the t.a. a chair and he sat next to her and like wouldn't let let go of her neck and, you know, we immediately called 911 and, you know, up until then, i didn't know it was a stabbing. so, the lady on the other side

of the, you know, on the phone asked is me, you know, what happened. and i said -- i asked the t.a. and he yelled, you know, she got stabbed, she got stabbed. it was very shocking. >> so, you did not see the attack, you didn't see her being punched or stabbed or her throat slit any of that. you come into the scene after she's injured and we need some help here, right. >> exactly. >> okay. >> exactly. i didn't see it happen but, you know, it was within seconds. and you know, it was -- good thinking from the part of the t.a. because, you know, i think everybody freaked out. >> sure. >> when it happened and she was on the floor and so, instead of, you know, him leaving and calling for help, he made sure he, you know, he covered that wound and so, you know, blood doesn't -- doesn't -- she doesn't lose a lot of blood. >> sounds like this teacher's assistant did a very good job. >> absolutely. >> do you know the accused, damon thompson, do you know him

at all? >> no. i teach biochemistry. he's not even in the class i teach or t.a. for so -- >> -- you don't really know their relationship or anything like that. >> no, i don't. i don't. >> okay. >> i do know they're part of the same lab, both in the organic chemistry lab. >> wendy, motive unclear. what do you see here? relationship gone bad or who knows? >> no, i -- you know, obviously there was a relationship or something happened that triggered something in here whether a hallucination or delusion and young adults especially college life a time when all kinds of mental disorders can come to true fruition and kick in i'm thinking of schizophrenia, for instance. so, we don't know the background of the guy or what happened here. i think the bigger story, actually the psychology of crowd dynamics. can you imagine 30 people stood there frozen and nobody did anything? >> wow. >> fascinating how that works. >> it certainly is. guys, we have to run. we'll continue to follow this as we find out more information.

wendy, kri ril, thanks for being with us. coming up parents sentenced to six months in jail for praying instead of getting medical help for their 11-year-old daughter, to pray is great but get the medical help, as well. well, she died of untreated diabetes. well, they could have spent 25 years behind bars. what do you think of this sentence? call in, 1-877-tell-hln is the number. but for right now, want to meet our newest cnn hero. >> this is cnn hero. >> hello i'm depack chopra. for the past two years i've had the honor of serving on the blue ribbon panel that selects the top ten cnn heroes. as a contributor to the star fund global which sponsors projects that transforms communities around the world, i see just how much we all need heroes. now, i'm thrilled to help cnn

introduce one of this year's top ten heroes. >> buildings being burned, people just trying to save their life. the children are supposed to have proper upbringing and what they were having there was far from being normal. my name is is -- i'm a pilot. i founded an orphanage to help the children. right from the beginning, we give them vass nation, clothing, food. but, we cannot give them anything more valuable than a proper education. a, b, c, d, e, f, g -- very, very good. we are able to provide and to teach them just be who you are, help others and do it from your heart.             

my sister-in-law, she's very religious. she doesn't -- well, she believes in faith instead of doctors. we've been trying to take her to the hospital for a week, a week and a few days now. >> extended family were worried for kara's safety and their worst fears obviously came true as the young girl died before going to a doctor. we're taking your calls on this, 1-877-tell-hln. let's go to the phones. randy with us in north carolina. go ahead. >> caller: yeah, i just wanted to make the comment that the parents only getting six months, it's neglect. tall is issing inglect. if i was to whip my kid and make a mark with a belt or something,

i'd get more than six months just to make a mark. i mean, and they don't take her to the doctor or anything. >> right. >> i go to church every sunday but my kid will always, anytime any of my kids are sick they go to the doctor and i do what the doctor said. like locking them in the closet and forgetting about them. >> what about the punishment itself, doug? >> the caller makes and excellent point kind of the logical next step in the nald analysis, mike, because of the view of religion and religious beliefs, the courts have tended to handing down what i call sort of midway sentences and eric's point, i mean, is if you accept that they honestly and sincerely believed that this would help their child, then there's really notice intent to harm. but what i was explaining earlier is, as you said, it has to give way. and another philosophical question is, do they have the right to automatically impose that on their child to the point where the child dies? >> yeah. good questions. there's a ton out there.

let's get wendy in on this, because we're -- the couple showing no remorse even through all this, almost using -- >> i am dying to get in here. let me tell. >> drew: help us with -- >> yes. >> -- their mind-set. who understands it? no many. >> i have a word for you, one word for you, delusion, delusional, mike. first of all, religion performs a very important psychological function in our culture t. gives us a sense of communities moral teaching, comfort in our own fear of dying but if you think god is a trauma center who will step in and take care of things, come on a priest told me this in a homley once you know the old story of the guy drowning and three boats come by and every time he says, no, no it's okay, i i have faith, i'm praying, it'll be fine, god will save me. when he eventually drowns he says, god, why didn't you save me. i prayed. god said i sent you through boats, you stupid dummy. right? it is a kind of delusion. >> delusion. when they get in the courtroom and, mom, let me read her

statement, no regrets. she's talking about the judge and the dilemma the judge had she writes judge howard had a difficult task in front of him today in sentencing us but wise to consider our children's well-being talking about the other three kids. the judge, also, realizes that jail time will not reform us because he has witnessed our faith runs very deep. dad, same mentality. i believe he almost used the courtroom like a pulpit talking about his faith. so, for them, it's, what their girl's a martyr and they will continue on in this, is that -- >> guess what else that judge, though, that judge sentenced them to getting good medical care and regular checkups for the other kids. so, yeah, he's maybe respecting their faith but also saying, hey, it is neglect and like the gentleman caller who said a few minutes ago if you lock your child in a closet and neglect them and do it unintentionally because you think it's best for your children, you still get sentenced, right? >> exactly. eric did, the judge get that part right, eric, to you in the sense they'll make i believe a nurse go there to check on the

other kids every three months, they have to take them to the doctor when they get sick? >> well, i think. >> -- good wisdom from the bench. your thoughts. >> absolutely. i think once the family is convicted, the judge did do a very good balancing act in terms of handing out a sentence, he didn't send them to prison like a murder case. i love the comment these parents are delusional. well, to some extent, aren't all religious beliefs delusional, the fact somebody died 6,000 or 2,000 years ago for -- >> wait a minute. >> -- to atone for our sins? >> wait -- >> isn't that? if we go down the path to say that aren't we on a slippery slope to saying all faiths of belief have the possibility of being incorrect. >> okay. doug, what about that? eric's been bringing up, you know, playing pretty good devil's advocate, no pun intended, on this one. your thoughts on that. because he's raising that because where do we override faith? is what he's saying, right? >> he's a good lawyer and knows

how to argue a position and my hat's off to him. but not to be a broken record, faith is a perfectly acceptable thing we can debate all day long but you draw a line, again, where a child dies under the care of their own parent because of their beliefs. again, you can agree or disagree with it. and then, i take the side of our psychological or psychiatric analyst and say it does become delusional. >> we lost somebody there. who did we lose. did we lose eric? if we lost eric, wouldn't it be appropriate? it is. ha-ha. someone might be talking, eric. guys, great discussion. thanks again. wendy, doug, we appreciate it. >> -- someone intervened. >> that's right. someone intervened. coming up, this story here new barbie doll coming out designed to look more like african-american women. the toymaker mattell says its new line is more realistic. what do you think about that? back at this one 30 students

at one school accused of sexting naked pictures back and forth. what are we going to do with these kids, thinking they are going to get away with? 1-877-tell-hln.

almost every woman and girl has had or wanted but for african-americans it's been tough to find a barbie that looks like them but when the first black barbie debuted in 1981 basically had white features. nia long a a little perspective.

>> historically the afro-centcir features have not always been celebrated. this makes women, especially black women because it is about us but for all of us it makes us question the integrity of our beauty standards for ourselves an what really motivates us to make certain choices. >> joining me now stacey mcbride-rudz ban long-time designer and created the so in line style barbie featuring dolls a lot different from the black barbie you may remember. thank you for joining us. if people are going to just kind of be looking and passing thinking we are playing with dolls this is a lot more than playing with dolls. this is a long time coming. tell me what was in your mind as you were designing these dolls and if you felt any pressure when you were designing these dolls? >> no pressure. the dolls came from a positive place. i was watching -- re-living my childhood watching my 6-year-old

daughter play with her dolls and i wanted dolls that represented her and african-american women in our community and i wanted the dolls to reflect what we see in our families or around. >> so, what do you want people to see when they see these dolls? and explain why these dolls have little girls with them. >> i wanted them to see themselves. they have fuller lips, a fuller nose and they have curly hair and features that represent us. and they also have a positive message. these dolls are mentors. these are teen-aged dolls. >> okay. >> they also mentor these little sisters in their community. >> okay. and we're going to address one thing off the bat that some critics have said and i want to read a statement from gail parish, a playwright and mother she says she immediately goes to the hair as many black women do, let's be honest between you and i. she says why are we always pushing the standard of long

hair on our girls? why couldn't one of the dolls have a little short afro or shorter braids or something? one thing were you sure to do, they're all different skin tones. >> right. >> any young african-american girl can find a girl that looks like her in that aspect. but, they do all seem to have long hair and all african-women don't have long air. do you feel that you missed the mark on that? >> i feel like i put my heart within these dolls and dolls are for girls to play with. they love combing the long beautiful hair. these are dolls but i did represent that in the little sister keana. she has little curly afro puffs. >> do you get why that matters so much to the african-american sdmoount i know some people are watching are saying, why are they making such a big deal about dolls. but, do you know -- do you get why the dolls mean so much to people? >> they mean so much to me because they did come from a positive place. my daughter loves the dolls. i've had dads thank me for

creating this line of dolls that represent their little girls. >> and i would assume that -- that mattel and you aren't targeting these dolls specifically for young african-american girls to play with. these are for, i would hope, all girls to play. >> with girls all over the world, yes. exactly with the positive message. >> all right. when can they get the dolls? >> they can get them now. >> all right. more of what matters, check out the october issue of "essence" magazine or log on to cnn.com/whatmatters. stacey, we appreciate it very much. >> thank you. >> a huge sexting scandal. one high school in pennsylvania, 30 kids under investigation, accused of looking at a naked picture of their classmates. cops are investigating serious child pornography charges. when will kids get the message? when will the message finally sink in? mike will dig into this.

1-877-tell-hln.

mf welcome back to "prime news" on hln. 30 kids accused of sexting, here we go again, huh? one school in pennsylvania. 30 kids, leave it like this an entire classroom looking at photos of some naked girl. that's what we have. let that sink in a minute. now cops are considering child porn charges, a felony, could label these teens at sex offenders, the quandary we have here, how to deal with this. we'll hit this on a couple of fronts. number one, don't these kids get it there, are serious consequences, we've got to get that message to sink in and what's the proper punishment so they understand what they did was wrong and can't do it again? joining us to talk about it, welcome back radio talk show host former teacher dom

giordana. dom, let's start. here we are, huh, dom? >> yeah. >> man, what do you make of this? are kids -- why, i guess, why are kids not getting the message. it is wrong, demeaning on so many levels. where are we missing the mark? >> this is farfy not far from another place in pennsylvania another showdown between a prosecutor and a girl who did this. part of it is, apparently even some parents and others don't think there's too much wrong with this. they have the notion if you're just sending it to the boyfriend, what's the big deal. you and i know what happens. the big deal is, the boyfriend becomes disgruntled or they just share it with another guy and it's minor 30. this can go to thousands of people. so, i think it's with the person who is sharing this, they're either conned into believing

this is normal to send to your boyfriend pictures like this and once that happens, anything can happen from that trail with the boyfriend. >> exactly. that's what we have to get through to these kids the real world consequences. once you send that picture out you don't know where it will stop, end up or how many people will look at it and also if you get in trouble for this, you could be labeled a sex offender. >> absolutely. mike, you know, i think it's extreme to imagine labeling the people that sent it sex offenders and that's why i'm intrigued with what the judge did as punishment but has to be something severe -- >> agreed. let's listen, basically life ruined, phillip albert, want to hear his story, he gets the sext, breaks up with a girlfriend, gets mad and sends it out. next thing he is labeled as a sex offender and life ruined. >> you will find me on the registered sex offender list

next to people, you know, who have raped children, molested kids, things like that because i sent child pornography. i've being punished for the rest of my life for something that took probably two minutes or less to do. >> boy, that puts it in two minutes less to do. >> let's bring in judge mike powell. presided over a texting case. we applauded judge powell for getting it right. it was a tough sentence. it wasn't just a slap on the wrist. but these kids aren't going to be the next phillip albert and have their lives ruined. judge, you with us? >> yes, i am. >> first off, let's get back to what's happening in pennsylvania. 30 kids. isn't felony child porn overkill here, judge? >> you know, i don't think that's for a judicial officer to say, mike. in our system of government, it's committed to the executive branch to decide what people ought to be charged with. at least in the first instance, those of us in the judicial branch have to defer to that. once we get the case, we have

some discretion as to how to handle it. and i think that's particularly true with juvenile judges. and for instance, in ohio, even if i would find that a child has committed the offense with which they're charged, i have the discretion to dismiss it or reduce it if i find it's in a child's best interest. >> i'll ask you this. should someone be punished the rest of their life, or a good part of it anyway for sending a text at the age of 15 or 16, judge? >> i would say no. i would say they should not. but what the appropriate punishment ought to be depends on a number of factors. and i think in large part, we have to identify what the motivation of the children involved in the incidents were. >> when we come back, we'll let you know what judge powell did. again, i think he got it right. we want to hear from you, 1-877-tell-hln is the number. dd

missing haleigh cummings' stepmom, misty, gives a stunning interview on national tv. the last person to see little haleigh. she said someone on the other side of the family took this little girl. misty's talking for the first time about the divorce from haleigh's dad, ron, her soon-to-be ex after only six months of holy matrimony. an 11-year-old girl could no longer talk, eat, walk. instead of taking her to the doctor, her doctors only prayed. she's now dead. they're going to jail. one month in jail for each of the next six years. what do you think of that punishment? is that justice? we love hearing from you. call in, 1-877-tell-hln is the

number. e-mail us, cnn.com/primenews. or text us at hlntv, just start your message with the word prime. it's your chance to be heard. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com welcome once again. this is "prime news." i'm mike galanos. the stepmom of missing little girl, haleigh cummings, breaking her silence. it's been quite a week for misty crossland cummings. as far as we know, the last one to see the little girl who disappeared from her home in florida. haleigh's dad, ron, the man who stood beside misty it seemed, married her even, he announced they're getting a divorce. today misty's on national tv throwing out theories, saying that haleigh is alive and well and with the other side of the family. take a listen. it's misty croslin on cbs's "early show." >> i feel like it's on the other side of the family.

that has her. that's just how i feel. >> rrt. other side of the family? we'll take your calls, 1-877-tell-hln. joining me to talk about it, producer from the "nancy grace" show, natisha lance back with us. steve rogers, detective lieutenant nutley police department. natisha, other side of the family, who is she talking about? ron's side? crystal sheffield, the biological mom? >> it's a little unclear, mike. what i can tell you is that i did speak to crystal sheffield's side of the family today, marie, who is haleigh's maternal grandmother. and she interpreted it as misty talking about their side of the family. she said that she's not surprised. she feels that misty has made these accusations against them before in the past. and she said they have absolutely nothing to do with it. and there you go. >> okay. any comment from ron? his attorney? anybody on all this? >> no comment from ron and his attorney on it. what i can tell you is that

misty did do this interview without the blessing from her attorney, robert fields, who said he did advise her not to do this. as well as with that hypnosis test that she talked about during this interview. that was another thing he was not advising her to do. but misty crossland is speaking out saying she's not worried about getting an arrest. she does believe haleigh is still alive and well and that someone obviously came into the house and got her, but not giving any more specific detail about what happened that night. >> okay. let's bring in steve rogers. here she is, talking about misty, not given authorities a straight story, yet going on the cbs "early show" throwing out theories. what do you make of all that? >> she better start worrying, mike. the law enforcement community, i'm sure, believes that she is a primary suspect in this case. maybe she doesn't believe it, but they do. and this is just another diversionary tactic from some individual who is a suspect in a

very, very serious case, obviously. that's what i make of it. diversionary tactic. >> okay. and will investigators, will they go over that interview with a fine-toothed comb? are you looking for something she said on the cbs "early show"? >> absolutely. in fact, i was looking at the interview myself. i was looking at body language. i noticed that she didn't say it was fact, that the other side of the family's involved. she said i felt it. i watched her eyes roll a little, too, all indicators she's lying. >> let's listen a little bit more of this interview. this is misty, asked if ron thinks maybe she had something to do with haleigh's disappearance. again, this is the cbs "early show." >> he raent really said much about it. he believes me. he doesn't think i had anything to do with haleigh going missing. >> let's go to you, natisha. is he still standing by her, even though he's the one announcing divorce this week? >> he had an exclusive interview with nancy grace a couple nights ago. he still believes misty's story, that is not the reason for them

getting a divorce. he said it's been really stressful and really hard on them in terms of people looking at them, fifg them side glances. and the stress with their families. there's been a lot of infighting of their families over the last couple months. that is the reason for the divorce. but not because he doubts misty croslin's story. >> didn't he say something to the effect that, okay, let's get going. let's ask the questions that need to be asked. something to that effect as he made this divorce announcement? >> he did feel that people thought all along that he has been covering up for misty, or, you know, being that shield for her, from everyone else. but now that they are getting divorced, it's opening up the doors for other people to come to her. he said so do what you need to do and find my baby. >> let's go back to steve. steve, when you look at this, again, misty, the last person to see haleigh, yet authorities can't get the straight story. what methods do investigators use and intergreaters to try and get her to finally tell the truth in full? >> it's going to take a lot of time. in this case, i believe that the

boyfriend here may be involved. he may know something. and this idea of getting a divorce is another diversionary tactic. but somewhere along the line, law enforcement will be able to put some pieces together. time is going to tell the whole story. she's either going to slip up, or he's going to slip up. but believe me, they all slip up and just give it a little time. >> when we come back, more of misty's stunning interview on the cbs "early show." we'll tell you what she said when asked, what do you say to people who don't believe you? her answer to that, and we'll take your calls, your comments, your questions. here's the number, 1-877-tell-hln.

someone came in and got her obviously. i feel like it's on the other side of the family. that has her. that's just how i feel. >> there again, misty croslin cummings, soon to be misty croslin again. someone on the other side of the family, we dealt with that. we'll take your calls as always, 1-877-tell-hln. linda's with us in new york. linda, your thoughts here? >> caller: hi, mike. how are you doing? >> good. >> caller: okay. i just have two quick points. number one, why is -- what's the name, ron -- >> ron. >> caller: yeah, ron taken off the hook just because they say he was at work. god forbid this baby is no longer with us. they have no time of death or means of how she disappeared. point two is you notice on the first day interview with misty and ron, she looked at him every time a question was asked. and he answered all the

questions. and when he was on "nancy grace" and she was grilling him, if you noticed from the very beginning, for someone that was boo-hooing on the phone so much, now all of a sudden he's nonchalant, he doesn't know the answers to any of the questions. >> questions about ron. let's go to natisha. natisha, what do authorities tell us about ron cummings? no one has been completely ruled out, right? we'll start there. >> ronald cummings and crystal sheffield have been cleared of suspicion in this indication. as far as her other point, as far as misty looking at ronald cummings, i think this new interview today was a new misty that we have seen. she was a lot more forthcoming with the questions. and as ronald cummings has said in the past, he's no longer there to be that shield for misty croslin. so maybe police will be getting the answers that they have been wanting for quite some time. >> yeah, we can only hope. steve, what do you make of just a basic point, misty going out there without a lawyer or anything? i'm not for everybody being lawyered up, but if anybody needs one, it's her.

>> she certainly does. that's rather foolish. but she might be, as esay in law enforcement, a loose canon. don't be surprised if down the road somebody close to her is ready to talk to the police. we might see that happen. >> natisha, let's talk about misty's inconsistencies. let's get everybody up to speed. some of the glaring inconsistencies. what do we have here? one for me anyway is ron cummings comes home at 3:00 in the morning and the beds are made. that's cause for concern. >> the beds are made, she said she tore the house up looking under beds. but we know that the beds were on the floor. they were just mattresses. the beds were made. she said the kids went to bed at 8:00. she went to bed at 10:00. who was sleeping where at which time? also, who was in the home during that time, mike? we heard misty when she gave her polygraph and the hypnosis and the voice stress analysis. it was a dream-like state, and there could have been up to four people in the home. but it was all unclear. >> she's all over the place, steve. >> yeah. >> hours of conversation with

authorities. what do you do? do you just keep talking? and hope? >> well, like i said, time is going to be the tale here. it seems like the crime scene was sanitize the pretty good. you know, things were washed, et cetera. i'm confident the police are now waiting. the more interviews, the more talking, the more police information goes out, they gather intelligence through viewing her tapes, listening to her. just wait and see. just wait and see. >> okay. let's listen, because a lot of people, and i tease this, listen to misty answering her critics, those that don't believe her. here's what she had to say on the cbs "early show." >> i just need to move on and look for the right partnership. focus in on me. and i'm not the one that has haleigh. don't know where she is. they need to learn for the person who does have haleigh. >> that's all well and good. but natisha, she's the one. she's the last person to see haleigh. who else are you going to turn to? >> that's the hangup with police

here, is that police would be able to move on if they could get a clearer picture of exactly what happened that night from misty croslin. but because they have been unable to do that with her, they can't move forward. they can't go forward to look into other leads or other things they could be looking into, because they don't even have a clear picture of what happened that night. >> gotcha. guys, got to leave it there. steve, natisha, as always, appreciate it. a horrific stabbing, a ucla chemistry lab. college student accused of slashing a classmate's throat. poor girl bleeding as an entire class watched in horror. middle of the day, middle of class. we'll talk to somebody who was there. and witnessed it. we'll take your calls at 1-877-tell-hln.

welcome back to "prime news" on hln. a terrifying attack right in the middle of a chemistry lab on ucla's campus. cops say a male student slashed a female student's throat as

some 30 classmates watched in horror. witnesses telling police 20-year-old stabbed her multiple times, even punched her repeatedly. >> she was on the floor. her neck -- >> could you see her neck had been cut? >> yeah, i saw that. >> did it look to be a serious injury? >> yeah. i thought she died. there was blood everywhere. >> imagine witnessing that. she did survive. but has critical injuries. right now, damon thompson is held on suspicion of attempted murder. so many questions. how did he know her, what was the relationship, how did this happen. joining me to talk about this, he called 9 # 1 for the victim. get his story firsthand account coming up. also clinical psychologist wendy wallace. tell us what did you see here? >> well, i was on the sixth floor of the hall there. you know, we have two labs. we have the organic chemistry and the biochemistry.

and i was in the biochemistry labs. and it was 15 minutes within me starting the class. and i heard somebody yelling, call 911, call 911, not from your cell phone. i opened the door and saw the victim with a t.a., and the t.a. was holding her up next to him and then he had his hand on her throat. and, you know, she was bleeding a lot. and so, you know, in shock, i thought something happened, a flask blew up or something in lab. so i waved them in and told them to bring her in our lab and sit her down. so we sat her down. and then we brought the t.a. a chair. he sat next to her. he like wouldn't let go of her of her neck. we immediately called 911. and, you know, up until then, i didn't know it was a stabbing. so the lady on the other side of and he yelled, you know, she got stabbed. the -- you know, on the phone she got stabbed. it was very shocking. >> you did not see the attack?

asked me, you know, what you didn't see her being punched happened. or stabbed or her throat slit, and i said -- i asked the t.a. any of that? you come into the scene after she's injured and we need some help here, right? >> exactly. exactly. i didn't see it happen. but it was within seconds. and, you know, it was a good thing they came from the part of the t.a., because i think everybody freaked out when it happened. she was on the floor. so instead of him leaving and calling for help, he made sure he covered that wound. and so, you know, blood doesn't -- she doesn't lose a lot of blood. >> sounds like this teacher's assistant did a great job. do you know the accused? damon thompson, do you know him at all? >> no. i teach biochemistry. he's not even in the class that i teach. or i t.a. for. >> no particulars between him and the victim, you really don't know their relationship or anything like that? >> no, i don't. i don't. i do know they're part of the

same lab. both in the organic chemistry lab. >> let's bring in wendy walsh. motive unclear. what are you seeing here, relationship gone bad? or who knows? >> you know, obviously there was a relationship or something happened that triggered something in him. whether it's a hallucination or delusion. young adulthood, especially college life is a time when all kinds of mental disorders can come to true fruition. i'm thinking of schizophrenia for instance. we don't know what happened here. i think the bigger story is the psychology of crowd dynamics. can you imagine 30 people stood there frozen? and nobody did anything? >> wow. >> fascinating how that works. >> guys, we have to run. we're going to continue to follow this as we find out more information. wendy, cyril, thanks for being with us. parents sentenced to six months in jail for praying instead of getting medical help for their daughter. she died of untreated diabetes. they could have spent 25 years
