fashion models used to being in the spotlight. posting pictures of a racy model on the internet and called her a skank. the issue ended up in court and jason carroll gets to the bottom of things. >> reporter: it's the kind of photo spread no model would want. a feature on the blog called skanks in new york city and ended up on the blog telling cnn's campbell brown she was determined to find out who was behind putting her there. >> i wanted it gone and i didn't want it to be there for the rest of my life and i knew the only way for it to be gone was to call my lawyer. >> reporter: she's not the only one calling a lawyer, so is the woman behind the blog, rosemary port, a 29-year-old fashion student and casual acquaintance of cohen. port's attorney is saying she's the real victim. >> i not only feel my client was wrong, but i feel now it sets precedent that anyone with money and power couldn't get the identity of anyone that decides to be an anonymous blogger.

>> reporter: port's name released after a judge sided with cohen who sued google to reveal information about the anonymous blogger. the blog had appeared on google's website. the court rejected port's claim blogs like hers serve as a modern day forum for conveying personal opinions and shouldn't be regarded as fact. >> the court said, look, there was specific evidence that this one person may have libelled another person. in that circumstance, we're going to disclose that name. >> reporter: google says it complies with court orders saying we have a legal team whose job it is to scrutinize these requests and make sure they meet not only the letter, but the spirit of the law. port still says google should have kept her name private and plans on suing google for $15 million. cohen's attorney said he can't believe port's nerve. >> her being a victim here, i have trouble understanding that. in itscholas thompson say this

lesson for all anonymous bloggers. >> some of the effects will be good. people will recognize, wait a second, the law does apply to the blogosphere and some of it will be bad. people will publish things that they shouldn't publish or good for society. >> cohen's attorney said all this could have been avoided if port would have apologized for what she did. pictures just in from the panhandle of texas. this is tulia, south of amarillo, where crews are battling multiple fires. an entire strip of businesses, including the general dollar store and parts of city hall may be involved. 50 miles south of amarillo. local tv stations report fire crews have come in from several surrounding communities to help get this under control. we have some rather startling numbers about possible cases of the h1n1 virus. a presidential advisory group says one-third of one-half of the u.s. population could get

the swine flu virus this fall and winter and 90,000 people could die from it. more than twice the toll of the seasonal flu. >> i'm concerned. kind of a lag time. i was hoping it would be a little bit sooner than that. >> we just have to be concerned about the kids. all the time they're together, they're exposed to different viruses. >> by the time reference he meant he hoped the vaccine would be available in less than six weeks. in mexico 100 students called in sick at a middle school yesterday and new mexico is looking at whether h1n1 is responsible. ans as can woman found a kidney donor in the most unexpected place. he was driving her van. she told her troubles to the cabby taking her to dialysis treatment. tom chupal offered one of his and he turned out to be an exact

couple of breaking stories. this is tulia, texas. just south of amarillo. the entire downtown area is shut off. crews from around the area are struggling to contain a fire that swept through a strip of businesses on maxwell street. a town of 50,000 people and unconfirmed reports that city hall is among the buildings burning. that's unconfirmed but no traffic being allowed in and out of the downtown yare except these emergency vehicles. no reports of any injuries at this point. another breaking story out of new jersey. a plane made an emergency landing in a mall in rockaway township.

two people were aboard the cessna when it landed nose first halfway between the jcpenney store and toys "r" us. a ipilot and passenger were treated on the scene by paramedics. town square mall is the location you can see the foam in the parking lot where the wreckage was hosed down. not a single car was damaged. the plane was on route to the essex county airport and the pilot reported having a rough running engine and it struck several trees and lost a wheel before coming to a rest. michael jackson's doctor could face criminal charges. now that the l.a. coroner office have concluded lethal helpens of propofol in his body. murray told police that he had been treating jackson for insomnia for six weeks. the document says he gave the singer the powerful sedative, also called diprivan via

intravenous drip to help him sleep. the combination of that plus two other sedatives found in his system led the coroner to rule his death a homicide. >> it means, legally, taking the life of another. it means michael jackstone did not die of natural causes and not a suicide and means the government has concluded that someone else killed him. there are a wide swaert of charges within homicide. intentional homicide, he can get the death penalty for. negligent homicide is a much less serious crime. it's an unintentional negligent killing. certainly, he seems to be in that end of the spectrum. no one seems to suggest that conrad murray intentionally killed michael jackson. >> dr. murray told investigators he had been trying to wean jackson off propofol and he lowered the dosage and used two other sedatives two days before jackson died. but on the morning of the singer's death dr. murray told police he caved in to jackson's demands and administered at

least some propofol, diluted propofol. dr. murray gave a timeline of what he said happened in the hours before jackson was found dead. according to police documents, he gave jackson four different drugs. around 1:30 in the morning he gave jackson ten milligrams of valium. about a half hour later, 2:00, he injected two milligrams of the anti-anxiety drug ativan and around 2:00 a.m. versed and 5:00 in the morning more ativan and at 7:30 a.m. more versed. he monitored jackson's vital signs the entire time and jackson made repeated requests and requests for propofol and finally around 10:40 he relented and gave jackson 25 milligrams of propofol that morning. then ten minutes after the injection or the administration of it, murray said he went to the restroom. according to the affidavit, when he came back two minutes later he said michael jackson wasn't

breathing. murray's attorney dismissed that part of the timeline. he never said he found jackson not breathing at 11:00 a.m. a jackson family attorney said the report confirms gross violation of duty and care for jackson. the family looks forward to the day justice can be served. tonight on "showbiz tonight," is a homicide case against jackson's personal doctor really a slam dunk or is murray a scapegoat for a story that runs even deeper? the very latest in the michael jackson's death mystery at 11:00 eastern and pacific right here. a lawsuit involving a blogger, a model and a google is opening a whole new can of worms over whether anommous comments on the internet should protect speech. hygiene and sexual habits. cohen sued google to have blogger rosemary port identified, arguing her reputation was being slandered.

now, port is blaming google for not protecting her right to privacy. she said she has a right to her opinions. cohen didn't see it that way. >> i wanted it gone and i didn't want it to be there for the rest of my life and i knew the only way for it to be gone was to call my lawyer. >> google said users agreed to a privacy policy that allows the company to share personal information, if required by legal action. in canada, authorities continue their search for a young woman, a young blonde woom who took a reality show contestant to the motel where he was found dead. dan simon reviews what we know so far about the death of ryan jenkins and his swimsuit model ex-wife jasmine fiore. the search for jasmine fiore's suspected killer ended in a motel room in british columbia. >> now able to confirm that a deceased person that was found in hope, british columbia, is, in fact, ryan jenkins. at this time, the investigation into the circumstances of his

death are continuing but preliminary evidence suggest that he took his own life. >> going to be the best night of your life. >> reporter: jenkins was a reality show contestant on vh-1. a show that had 17 wealthy men competed for a woman's love. he was an investor and all-around party boy say people who knew him. he reportedly met fiore right after the vh-1 taping. her body was discovered ten days ago and was so mutilated outside l.a. say police that had it to be identified by the serial numbers on her breast implants. authorities quickly charged her husband with murder, prompting an international manhunt. one of fiore's ex-husband blasted the murder suspect. >> ryan jenkins is an animal. what he has done to jasmine is unspeakable.

it's just not right. and i appreciate your help. >> reporter: but the suspect's mother told the "associated press" that she doesn't believe her son was involved in the murder and that she wants to clear his name. court records show that jenkins was charged recently with domestic violence for allegedly hitting fiore in the arm and jenkins faced an assault charge in his hometown of calgary sentenced to 15 months in 2007 for an unspecified act. authorities in canada have identified and are investigating a woman who may have helped jeng nz evade authorities and they're not releasing her name, but apparently she and jenkins have some kind of history together. meanwhile, jenkins participated in a second vh-1 reality show. that one called "i love money." that show has also been canceled. dan simon, cnn, san francisco. jessica beal is the most dangerous woman on the internet. you don't believe it, think she looks too sweet and innocent.

distant 34th and first lady michelle is 39th. cnn.com users are checking out a story to slash prison population without placing the rest of the population at risk. overcrowding concerns prompted a three-judge federal panel to order california to release 40,000 prisoners by mid-september. so far the legisladggislature h unable to agree on a plan to do that. keeping violent offenders locked up, and non-violent offenders more likely to be let go with the stipulation they have increased contact with officers and a vote on that plan was delayed yesterday. following the recent riot governor schwarzenegger said the prison system is in a state of crisis. a frightening incident at a california high school could have been much worse. police in san mateo are holding a 17-year-old former student, they say he was wearing a vest loaded with ten pipe bombs and carrying a chain saw and a

sword. teachers tackled him after he set off two of the bombs. there was little damage and no one was hurt. >> i was in the classroom and all of a sudden the fire alarm goes off and so we think, oh, yeah, somebody just pulled it and then all of a sudden we see all our teachers and principal come rushing in. >> i was just getting out of clash class because we thought it was a fire drill and we were walking out to evacuate and heard two big like explosions. >> well, police arrived soon after in san mateo and the suspect was tackled. they're not saying what his motive might have been. when a police officer pulled over a man driving a stolen car in georgia, the suspect didn't stay put for long. how this high-speed chase came to a very abrupt end.

it's not over in tulia, texas, just south of amarillo and crews from many areas have converged here to try to contain a fire that swept through a strip of businesses, thecluding the dollar store. local media report three stores now have been reduced to rubble.

i'm jane velez-mitchell and here's my issue. when you look at this search warrant, you see this mared i of drugs at michael jackson's home and bedside. it reminds you of anna nicole smith, but what it should remind you of is the problem in many homes across america. how many americans keep taking valium and other sedatives that the doctor prescribes for that tooth ache long after the ache goes away? this is an extraordinary crisis in america. millions who have trouble sleeping or functioning in some way think popping ing ping a pi first and only solution. america is self-medicating and there are many addicts hooked on prescription meds and also many doctors who think the first response to a patient's problem is describe a pill. michael jackson's inability to sleep should be a wake-up call to all of us. >> tonight on "issues" the case of the stun gun granny. a woman is using a stun gun to

rob local businesses to feed her starving grandchildren. don't miss "issues tonight" tonight and every night right here and every night on hln. new pictures of the destruction after a deadly car bombing in southern afghanistan, actually, more than one bomb was involved. police say 33 civilians were killed in the explosion outside of the government building. we just got these pictures in, this is raw video. the associated press said the blast was caused by five car bombs and four were wounded. early results, meanwhile, are trickling in from last week's afghanistan election. right now it's a dead heat between president har midkarzai and abdullah abdullah each has 40% of the vote but so far 10% of the ballots have been counted. the final results are not expected until the middle or end of september.

president obama has reappointed the federal reserve chairman ben bernanke to a second four-year term and the president vacationing on martha's vineyard said bernanke has done a great job during one of the worst financial crises ever. >> we are a long way away from completely healthy financial system and a full economic recovery and i will not let up until those americans who are looking for jobs can find them and qualified businesses, large and small, who need capital to grow and find loans at a rate they can afford and until all responsible mortgage holders can stay in their homes. that's why we need ben bernanke to continue the work that he's doing. >> his nomination must still be confirmed by the senate. looks like former new york city mayor rudy giuliani may be running for governor next year. he told associates he'll decide in the next two months, but he's laying the ground work. he crisscrossed the empire state

there are a wide variety of charges within homicide. intentional homicide, you can get the death penalty for. negligent homicide is a much less serious crime. it's an unintentional negligent killing. certainly he seems to be in that end of the spectrum. no one seems to suggest that conrad murray intentionally killed michael jackson. >> murray told investigators he'd been trying to wean jackson off all this propofol. he said he actually lowered the dosage and used two other sedatives two days before jackson died, but the morning of michael jackson's death murray told police he caved into jackson's demands and went ahead and gave him propofol. dr. murray gave an account of what he says happened in the hours before jackson died. it is very detailed. this is according to police documents. he says he gave jackson four different drugs. around 1:30 in the morning he says he gave jackson ten milligrams of valium. then about a half hour later he

administration's ability to be responsible for our nation's security. >> a florida grandmother loses her temper big time and goes after a news crew who showed up at her door. are you wondering what made her so mad?

the cash for clunkers program is over, but the government is giving car dealers just a little more time to finish all that paperwork. so what's the time line now? dealers have until 8:00 tonight to turn in all those forms, and, yes, this is the second extension for dealers. the rebate program itself ended at 8:00 last night, but the rush to submit all these documents caused computers at the transportation department to clog. more than 665,000 vehicles were sold under the cash for clunkers program amounting to nearly $2.8 billion in government vouchers.

so now that the party is over, many auto dealers think it's time to grab the aspirin as the industry is bracing for a hangover. just how bad will it be? cnnmoney.com's poppy harlow joins us with the details. everybody was happy when people were beating down their door, give me a car, give me a car. now what? >> we expected this. the party can only last so long s . the critics said what happens when it ends? an auto dealer in portland, oregon, told us, i think you will be able to shoot a canon through here and not hurt anybody. meaning he thinks his showroom floor will be pretty empty. ed munds.com predicting a 40% decline in sales immediately. let's look at u.s. auto sales so far this year. look at the screen up on the screen right now. in may we saw those sales at 9.9 million on an annualized basis. below that 10 million mark.

thanks for the cash for clunkers program, in july that rate topped 11 million. that was the first time we saw that annualized rate top 10 million all year. a huge boost and edmunds.com expecting a 40% decline when you look at sales starting they say immediately. >> aren't some of these dealerships just completely wiped out though right now, completely? >> that's a great point. yeah, their inventory is very low. we spoke to the manager at bay ridge toyota in brak lyooklyn. he said he doesn't have anything to sell left on the floor. the general manager saying toyota cannot even tell him when he might get more cars. he said listen, i'm out of corollas and camrys and rav4s. the experts are saying, listen, prices might be higher right now because they have less inventory. so the bottom line if you're in the market for a new car and you didn't use cash for clunkers, wait a little bit, that's what we're hearing.

the prices could be pretty high until they get the inventory back on the showroom floor. >> does that mean we won't see any dealer incentives at all? >> it doesn't mean that, but we called gm, we called ford. they're not planning any new cash incentives right now that cash for clunkers has ended. what we are hearing is they're expecting sort of the average incentive to rack up to about $3,000 on most vehicles. you can find out more details on the cash for clunkers program now that it's over and what's ahead for auto sales on cnnmoney.com. >> great stuff, poppy. thank you. you can get much more of today's business news again at cnnmoney.com. do check it out. great information, great site. well, there were lethal levels of propofol along with other sedatives in michael jackson's body as details emerge. who is to blame for his death? some people are defending jackson's doctor.

jackson said from the very start, i remember the day he died they were saying only a matter of time in their minds before something like this was to happen. now it's become very clear why they were saying what they were saying. but when you hear in such graphic detail the number of drugs jackson was administered, valium, ativan, versed, propofol and then you hear the time line, it really is quite shocking even though people saw this coming. >> absolutely. you know, a.j., an issue that keeps coming up that viewers keep going back and forth about debating, arguing with each other on my facebook page, people keep wanting to put some of the blame on michael jackson himself, especially now that they know how many drugs were involved. >> yeah. >> i have parents in the medical field, so i know kind of how i feel on that. how do you feel about that? >> well, i have to tell you it goes both ways. we'll be debating it tonight on "showbiz tonight." clearly michael jackson had a problem, so a lot of people are wondering does the blame fall squarely on him, on the people

who enabled michael jackson or both? you look at the new reports that are coming out, there were a lot of different prescriptions from many different doctors, and the problem is, as you know, rir richelle, an addict will figure out a way to get what they want. it's easy to surmise even if michael jackson wasn't getting the propofol from dr. murray, he would have been getting it from somebody else. if a doctor is ultimately responsible for what's in the best interests of a person under his or her care, it's hard to believe that using an anesthetic as a sleep aid is in anybody's best interest. that's the one thing i can say for certain. >> yeah. there's a lot to talk about here, a.j. a lot. >> yeah. so tonight we'll be getting into this debate with the blame game and we'll be defending dr. murray. is a homicide case against jackson's personal doctor really a slam dunk here or is the doctor just a scapegoat for a story that really is so much more deep than meets the eye? the very latest on the michael jackson death mystery tonight. we'll see you back here 11:00 p.m. eastern and pacific for

"showbiz tonight." >> and that is the question, a.j., because i think everyone thinks they know what's supposed to happen now, but there's still so much more to talk about. he's not a guilty man yet by any means. >> and there are a lot of other people involved i'm sure. >> thank you. don't put that camera in my [ bleep ] face. get off my porch. [ bleep ]. >> okay. back off, everybody. you just saw what happened when a florida news crew tried to ask a grandmother if her 15-year-old granddaughter was working at a strip club. you could see she went after the photographer with that garden hose. she hit the camera. police say the girl and another 17-year-old worked at that strip club for months. the club says the girl claimed to be 18 and that they were not dancers. they worked in swimsuits. they were not topless. when you post on facebook or send a tweet, you're pretty much assuming someone care what is you're thinking. is all that self-promotion creating a generation of narcissists. what you're saying about social networking and all its repercussions.

amazing pictures to show you. this is the town of tulia, texas. this is the center of town that is shut down. you can see why. fire crews are trying to get this situation under control. this is a fire that is sweeping through a business center basically. local media say so far three stores have been reduced to rubble. if you're wondering where this is, this is a small town about 50 miles south of amarillo, texas. there are unconfirmed reports that city hall is among the buildings that are burning. clearly, no traffic is being allowed into the downtown area except emergency crews trying to deal with this. no reports of any injuries at this point, but we are keeping our eyes trained on that

situation. a small plane still sitting in a parking lot in a energy mall had to make an emergency landing this morning. local affiliates are now reporting two people were on board this plane. this is a cessna 172. it landed nose first in the parking lot at the rockaway town square mall between a jcpenney store and a toys "r" us. it was trying to get to the essex county airport, but the pie rot repolot reported having running engine. witnesses say it lost a wheel and spun around before coming to a stop. the pilot and the passenger were treated at the scene by paramedics. that's always a good sign. maybe their injuries were just minor. michael jackson's doctor could be facing criminal charges now that the los angeles coroner's office have concluded there were lethal levels of propofol in the singer's body. these are just preliminary findings right now, but this is a pretty massive report. it's a 32-page report n this

report dr. conrad murray told police he had been treating michael jackson for insomnia for about six weeks. this document says he gave jackson the sedative propofol also known as diprivan. he gave it to him using an iv to help him sleep. this is anesthesia. the combination of that plus at least two other sedatives found in jackson's system reportedly led the coroner to rule his death a homicide. >> it means legally taking the life of another. it means michael jackson did not die of natural causes. it means he was not a suicide. it means the government has concluded that someone else killed him. there are a wide variety of charges within homicide. intentional homicide, you can get the death penalty for. negligent homicide is a much less serious crime. it's an unintentional, negligent killing. certainly he seems to be in that end of the spectrum. no one seems to suggest that conrad murray intentionally

killed michael jackson. >> murray told investigators he'd been trying to wean jackson off all this propofol. he said he actually lowered the dosage and used two other sedatives two days before jackson died, but the morning of michael jackson's death murray told police he gave into jackson's demands and went ahead and gave him propofol. the jackson family attorney says this report reaffirms a tragic and gross violation of duty and care for the singer. jackson family publicist says the family looks forward to the day justice can be served. so tonight on "showbiz tonight," is a homicide case against jackson's personal doctor really a slam dunk? or is conrad murray just a scapegoat for a story even deeper than meets the eye. the very latest in the michael jackson death mystery tonight on tv's most provocative entertainment news story at 11:00 p.m.

a whole new can of worms is being opened over weather anonymous comments over the internet should be protect ed. cohen sued google to have the blogger, the woge on the right, rosemary court identified arguing her reputation was being slandered. now, she's blaming google for not protecting her right to privacy. she says she has a right to her opinions. >> i wanted it gone and i didn't want it to be there for the rest of my life, and i knew the only way for it to be gone was to call my lawyer. >> google says users agree to a privacy policy that allows the company to share personal information if required by legal action. something to think about. the face we're about to show you will soon be famous. the fbi plans to put pictures of this guy on billboards across

the south. he is a suspect in at least ten bank robberies in eight southern states. several robberies happened just in the last few months. as you can see, he's pretty bold. he doesn't even try to hide his face from the cameras. an update to a story we followed for you yesterday about that frightening situation that happened in a california high school. it actually could have been worse. police in san mateo are holding a 17-year-old former student. he was wearing a vest loaded with ten pipe bombs and carrying a chain saw and a sword. teachers tackled him after he allegedly set off two of the bombs. didn't cause a lot of damage fortunately, and nobody was hurt. >> i was in the classroom and all of a sudden the fire alarm goes off, and so we think that, oh, yeah, somebody just pulled it, ha, ha, ha. and then we see our teachers and everything and the principal coming and rushing in. >> i was just getting out of class because we thought it was a fire drill. and then i was walking, we were walking out to evacuate.

we heard two big explosions. >> police got there pretty soon after the suspect was tackled and they're not saying right now what his motive might have been. president obama has reappointed ben bernanke federal reserve chairman to a serve a second four-year term. this move was expected. the president is taking care of this business while he's on vacation at martha's vineyard. bernanke he says has done a great job leading the fed during one of the worst financial crises ever. he said bernanke's temperament, courage, and creativity helped prevent another great depression. bernanke's nomination still has to be confirmed by the senate. a prominent anti-war activist wants to make sure president obama doesn't ignore iraq while he's on vacation. cindy sheehan is headed to martha's vineyard to hold a press conference. in 2005 she camped out near the crawford, texas, ranch where president bush spent his summer vacation a long time critic of

the bush administration policy, she's begun to criticize president obama saying he doesn't represent real change. she says she will not rest until all u.s. troops leave the country. former vice president dick cheney is criticizing the justice department's decision to investigate the interrogations of terrorism suspects during the bush years. cheney says the interrogators deserve our gratitude. he claims the questioning of suspects led to arrests, prevented more terrorist attacks. basically saved lives. the attorney general launched the probe after releasing a declassified cia report that showed unauthorized and brutal practices. in one case interrogators threatened to kill the children of the accused 9/11 mastermind. cheney says president obama's decision to allow the justice department to investigate and possibly prosecute cia personnel and his decision to remove authority for interrogation from the cia to the white house

serves as a reminder, if any were needed, of why so many americans have doubts about this administration's ability to be responsible for our nation's security. not mincing words there. jessica biel is the most dangerous woman on the internet. if you don't believe it, think she looks too sweet and innocent, we'll let you know why the mere mention of her name is sending computer safety experts running for cover.

lots of college students think social networking makes them very narcissistic. talking about a new study mentioned in "usa today" and it found that 57% of college students say their peers use the

sites like twitter and facebook for self-promotion, narcissism, and ways to get attention. you know, look at me, look at me. two-thirds of college students say their generation is the most narcissistic of all. about 1,000 students have participated in this survey. what do you think about this? are the social networking sites just making the kids very self-absorbed or are we making too much out of this? are these sites really just a way to keep up with family and friends? especially the ones that maybe live on the other side of the country? call us at 1-877-tell-hln. e-mail us at cnn.com/hln or text us to hlntv. you can facebook me as well. at first jessica biel has legions of fans. what do they get for their devotion? a computer pumped full of viruses and malicious software. this is one of the most popular

stories at cnn.com and reggie aqui is here with the details. this headline got my attention because i couldn't make heads or tails of it, but now i get it. >> the most dangerous woman on the web. >> right. >> jessica biel. here is the information behind the headline. mcafee, which makes security software for your computer, they have come up with a clever way to get in the news, but a lot of people are clicking on it. this is something they've been doing three years. they say there's a one in five chance when you search for jessica biel on the internet you will come up with a site you do not want because it could potentially put spy ware on your computer or harm your computer with a virus. so she is the number one celebrity that is attached to these kinds of problems. now, what's interesting is to look at the other people on this list as well. i'll share that with you in a second. first i want to tell you -- here we go -- here are some of the virus magnets. beyonce at number two. beyonce has held her spot.

second year in a row. jennifer aniston, tom brady, jessica simpson. do you know who is not on there? the obamas. they are in the bottom 30. so it's pretty safe to search for the obamas if you want to do that. >> good news if you're in the news business. >> that's true. the poex wfolks who monitor the say you should stay on the main highways of the internet. as soon as you see things you have never heard of before, that's when you start going onto the side streets and dark alleys. you don't want to be there. >> use your common sense and you might be in good shape. >> i think this is a compliment. it means jessica biel is popular. >> maybe they're searching for when is her next movie coming out. >> don't do it, richelle. >> all right. let's move on then. cnn.com users are also checking out, this is a serious story, about california's court-ordered attempt to get the prison population under control. tell us about that, reggie.

>> a three-judge panel said if you don't have money to host all these prisoners, you have to release the prisoners. that's what's happening. and the legislators in the state can't figure out exactly how to do this, but they have to cut their prison system by quite a few inmates. and so the question is how are you going to do that and keep a safe population outside of the prisons? one of the things they're thinking of is of course to release less violent offenders and have them check in more often with the probation officers, but really the governor doesn't have much of a choice, richelle. there is a huge fight recently that injured 250 prisoners at one of the california prisons. he's got no money and fights. something has got to give. >> better him than me or -- wow, that's a tough decision. thanks, reggie. >> you got it. well, when a police officer pulled over a man driving a stolen car in georgia, he didn't stay put for long. we'll have to show you how this

high-speed chase came to a very abrupt and crazy, crazy end.

i'm jane velez-mitchell and

here is my issue. when you look at this search warrant you see this myriad of drug at mge's hoichael jackson't reminds you of anna nicole smith. but how many americans keep taking valium and other sedatives the doctor prescribes for the toothache long after the ache goes away? millions who have trouble sleeping think popping the pill is the first and only solution. america is self-medicating, and there are many addicts hooked on prescription meds. there are also many doctors who think the first response to a patient's problem is prescribe a pill. michael jackson's inability to sleep should be a wake yaup c-uo call of us. >> tonight on "issues" the case of a stun gun granny. police say a woman is using a stun gun to rob local businesses

tactical vest with a lot of pockets for things. i see that he has this type of vest on. he's running towards people. instead of towards safety. that made me worry about what this kid was doing. i closed the distance and put him in a bear hug, and then i decided to flip him and put him on the ground. i thought to myself, if i'm wrong, i'll apologize to his parents later. if i'm right, then i'm going to hold this kid down. this kind of happened in front of windows. there were students in classrooms. a teacher came out. i asked her to go get help. that's when the principal came with another counselor. i held onto an arm, the principal held onto an arm. ed took the legs. we restrained the young man until the police came really quickly. >> the young man was a former student. police have not discussed a

lotter lottery. >> good afternoon. as indicated i'm the attorney for solomon jackson, jr. the first question you probably have in your mind, why does he have an attorney, and why did he select johnson? i have been his attorney for many, many years. we have close family ties. my wife taught him in high school and mentored him. from that relationship it evolved to an attorney/client relationship. he is a native of columbia, attended the public schools here. has retired from the state department of revenue. when i got the call on yesterday and he said to me, mr. johnson,

i want to talk to you about something. and being a criminal defense lawyer, i said, oh lord. he says i want to talk to you about the lottery. well, i had some appointments this morning. but i cleaned my calendar quick. he came in and showed me his winning ticket. we went on the computer and identified the numbers. we matched the numbers up, and we learned that truly he was a winner. that was insufficient. the fact that we confirmed the number. and so we call ed the office. they were at a board meeting. we asked if mr. tony cooper. he extended us the invitation to come to this claims office, and when we arrived, the winning

ticket was confirmed. i want to echo what he said. that is this should give south carolinians a sense of pride that one of their own won this powerball. number two, his motivation for playing the lottery was at the beginning of the school year he he had education on his mind. he thought he would buy tickets just for the purpose of helping the educational system. that was his sole thinking at that time. now that he has won, his thinking has expanded. >> amen. >> we are mindful of the fact that this is a significant

award. in many instances these type of wins make material changes in peoples' lives. i'm confident based on his character and based on his involvement in his community to help others. there's not going to be any major changes in his life. we would certainly ask the public to be mindful of his privacy. that is an important consideration. as some of you might know. we had a choice of not going public and keeping this confidential. but we thought that the public had a right to know. and that's why we're having this press conference. for that reason alone. at the same time we're hopeful that the public will be mindful of the fact that he should enjoy some privacy. thank you so much for being here. now i present to you solomon jackson, jr.

blessed. in trying to help them too often we give to people and they take our sources of blessings and do what they want to. i said, well, why can't i throw $2 at the lottery to help education? come to find out, i didn't not need $2 to win it. so i wasted a dollar. thank god. i will continue to be a supporter of south carolina i don't want to talk too much. if i can justify this only god knows what's ahead. i thank him for what he's done. now i can turn it back over to you. >> well, we're going to leave it there. what a nice man, huh? and $260 million.

it in perspective, from regular season flu, approximately 5% to 20% of americans become ill. it's impossible to predict how many people will become sick or die from swine flu. but there is one thing that everyone agrees upon. this flu season has the potential to be much worse than previous seasons. this year there's going to be regular seasonal flu, like we have every year, and then on top of that, this h1n1 virus. most of us don't have immunity to the virus because it is so new ch new. so first of all remember to wash your hands frequently. tell your children the same thing with soap and water or hand sanitizer. also remember to stay home if you're sick and keep your child out of school if they're sick. cough or sneeze into your sleeve, not your hand. these will certainly help.

it means the government has concluded that someone else killed him. there are a wide variety of charges within homicide. intentional homicide, you can get the death penalty for. negligent homicide is a much less serious crime. it's an unintentional, negligent killing. certainly, he seems to be in th that end of the spectrum. no one seems to suggest that conrad murray intentionally killed michael jackson. >> murray told investigators that he'd been trying to wean jackson off of propofol. he said he'd lowered the dosage and used two other sedatives. this is all two days before jackson died, but the morning michael jackson died, murray told police he caved into jackson's demands and did eventually give him propofol. dr. murray also gave an account of what he says happened in the hours before jackson died. this is all in police documents. in this document -- in these documents, he says he gave jackson four different drugs. listen to this time line. at about 1:30 in the morning, he

says he gave jackson ten milligrams of valium. then, about 30 minutes later, an hour later, rather. an hour later he says he injected two milligrams of the anti-anxiety drug ativan. then at about 3:00 in the morning, two milligrams of the sedative versed. about 5:00 in the morning, more ativan. 7:30 in the morning, more versed. now, while all of this is happening, dr. murray says that he was monitoring jackson's vital signs. throughout the day, dr. murray said jackson made repeated requests, even demands, for propofol and then he says he gave michael jackson 25 milligrams of propofol at about 10:40 that morning. then ten minutes after doing that, dr. murray says he went to the restroom, according to the affidavit, he says he came back just two minutes later and at that time, michael jackson wasn't breathing. but dr. murray's attorney is dismissing that part of the time line. he says murray never told police

that he found jackson at 11:00 a.m. not breathing. so tonight on "showbiz tonight," is a homicide case against jackson's personal doctor really a slam dunk with everything you just heard? or is dr. murray just a scapegoat? the very latest in the michael jackson death mystery tonight on tv's most provocative entertainment news show at 11:00 p.m. eastern and pacific. lighten the mood a little bit. many college students say social networking is just making them very narcissistic. a new study mentioned in "usa today" found that 57% of college students say that their peers that are on the twitter, the facebook, they're just using those sites for self-promotion, narcissism, and ways to get attention. two-thirds of college students say their generation is the most narcissistic of all. about 1,000 students that participated in that survey. a taxi driver made a woman an offer she could not refuse. find out how that ride in his cab literally saved her life.

jackson off the propofol. he said he'd lowered the dosage and used two other sedatives a couple days before jackson died, but the morning of his death, murray told police he caved in to jackson's demands and ended up giving him propofol again. well, a jackson family attorney says the report reaffirmed a tragic and gross violation of duty and care for the singer. jackson family publicist says the family looks forward to the day justice can be served. tonight on "showbiz tonight," is a homicide case against jackson's personal doctor really a slam dunk? or is conrad murray just a scapegoat for a story even deeper than meets the eye? the very latest in the michael jackson death mystery tonight on tv's most provocative entertainment news show. that's at 11:00 p.m. eastern and pacific time. a northern california high school that was the target of a pipe bomb attack closed again today because police were investigating the crime scene. a 17-year-old former student

cheney is krit sidcriticizing t justice department's decision to investigate interrogators during the bush years. cheney says those interrogators deserve our gratitude, that's a quote. he said the questioning of suspects led to arrest of terrorist attacks and basically saved lives. the attorney general launched the probe after a report showed unauthorized and brutal practices. in one case, interrogators threatened to kill the children of the accused september 11th mastermind. this is what cheney had to say. "president obama's decision to allow the justice department to investigate and possibly prosecute cia personnel and his decision to remove authority for interrogation from the cia to the white house serves as a reminder, in any were needed, of why so many americans have doubts about this administration's ability to be responsible for our nation's security." let's turn to a lighter note now. jessica biel is the most

dangerous woman on the internet. don't believe it? think she looks too sweet and innocent? while the mere mention of her name is sending computer safety experts running for cover.
