bad girl was playing. it brings back memories like you said. memories that played out for many people in the 70s before you and i were born. right here at studio 54. best sound track. so much a part of donna summer. it was dominating the club here. if you look back on it a lot of people didn't know she was sick because family from wire reports kept the illness quiet. we are hearing that it was possibly lung cancer that she passed away from. she was at her home in key west surrounded by her husband and children as well 63 years old. what an amazing career. she grew up in boston. that's where she was born. ladonna adrien gains in 1948. she grew up in the 60s. mid 70s found a connection with disco music in its beginnings and she latched on to it felt a connection and it was absolutely made in heaven. she had 19 hits on billboard

dance charts a record passed by madonna. that was one she held a long time ago. that song right there i love to love you baby that was the one that put her on the map. when she became a born again christian she wouldn't sing the song because of the suggestive lyrics and some of the other vocal ements associated with the song that made it such a phenomenon. it made her career and it started right here. she is definitely going to be missed. disco era ended in the 70s. she moved on seamlessly into the 80s with "she worked hard for the money" and other songs like that. she is survived her husband and three daughters. antoine keep on dancing out there. >> you saw that. >> 43 after the hour. let's span the globe and see what stories are making headlines overseas. >> we begin with wild video out of romania.

altercation. who does this new evidence help or hurt? joining us with legal analysis is criminal defense attorney and fox news contributor arthur aidalis. >> we coordinated. >> is it unusual for this evidence to come out at this point? >> no. i mean that's a process of law. each judge has a degree of flexibility after the evidence is disclosed. what's interesting is you ask the question who does it help? well here's my brilliant legal analysis. i am sure if you ask the prosecutor they are going to say it helps them because basically what it indicates is it was a bunch to the nose. in other words, if the injuries are a bunch to the nose two black eyes but it's not like there was a black eye from a bunch a black eye from a bunch, a broken nose from a bunch.

injury to the eyes you have you have a black eye when you have a broken nose. >> there's a cut on the back of his head. >> not that i am a forensic individual professional, but it seems like he got punched in the nose he fell back and hit his head. that's what common sense could dictate. if dr. baden was doing his analysis that's what he would say. on the flip side of the coin trayvon martin has a cut on his knuckles. that would say there was indicating some sort of aggressive injury. >> how do you determine how tho when those injuries happened. >> we try to do a little analysis. we are not in the courtroom looking the way the jurors look. they look at witnesses and

evidence. zimmerman already testified at a bail hearing. that is rare the defense attorney gets an opportunity to see how his client will hold up in court and others. i wouldn't be surprised if you see mr. zimmerman. >> second degree murder does it raise enough reasonable doubt to diminish that? >> this is a very stacked specific incident. the bottom line is the jurors are going to say you have a kid with iced tea and skittles. you have a guy with a gun. if a kid with iced tea punches someone in the nose is that enough to blow him away in the chest. that's for the jury to decide. >> appreciate it. thank you for coordinating. it is 47 after the top of the hour. ladies want to get ahead at work? try zipping your mouth. this story will have a lot of
