caused by my behavior. as elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words, it will come from my behavior over time. we have a lot to discuss. however, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us. i am also aware of the pain my behavior has caused to those of you in this room. i have let you down. i have let down my fans. for many of you, especially my friends, my behavior has been a personal disappointment. to those of you who worked for me i have let you down personally and professionally.

my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners. to everyone involved in my foundation, including my staff, board of director, sponsors, and most importantly the young students we reach, our work is more important than ever. 13 years ago my dad and i envisioned helping young people achieve their dreams through education. this work remains unchanged and will continue to grow. the learning center students in southern california to the earlwood scholars in washington, d.c., millions of kids have changed their lives and i am dedicated to making sure that continues. but still i know i have bitterly disappointed all of you. i have made you question who i

am and how i could have done the things i did. i'm embarrassed that i have put you in this position. for all that i have done i am so sorry. i have a lot to atone for, but there's one issue i really want to discuss. some people have speculated that elin somehow hurt or attacked me on thanksgiving night. it angers me that people would fabricate a story like that. elin never hit me that night or any other night. there has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage. ever. elin has shown enormous grace

and poise throughout this ordeal. elin deserves praise, not blame. the issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. i was unfaithful. i had affairs. i cheated. what i did is not acceptable. and i am the only person to blame. i stopped living by the core values that i was taught to believe in. i knew my actions were wrong, but i convinced myself that normal rules didn't apply. i never thought about who i was hurting, instead, i thought only about myself. i ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. i thought i could get away with

whatever i wanted to. i felt that i had worked hard my entire life and deserve to enjoy all the temptations around me. i felt i was entitled. thanks to money and fame i didn't have far -- i didn't have to go far to find them. i was wrong. i was foolish. i don't get to play by different rules. the same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me. i brought this shame on myself. i hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife's family, my friends, my foundation, and kids all around the world who admired me. i've had a lot of time to think about what i've done. my failures have made me look at

myself in a way i never wanted to before. it's now up to me to make amends and that starts by never repeating the mistakes i've made. it's up to me to start living a life of integrity. i once heard, and i believe it's true, it's not what you achieve in life that matters, it's what you overcome. achievements on the golf course are only part of setting an example. character and decency are what really count. parents used to point to me as a role model for their kids. i owe all those families a special apology. i want to say to them that i am truly sorry. it's hard to admit that i need

help, but i do. for 45 days from the end of december to early february i was in-patient therapy receiving guidance for the issues i'm facing. i have a long way to go. i've taken my first steps in the right direction. as i proceed i understand people have questions. i understand the press wants me to -- wants to ask me for the details of the times i was unfaithful. i understand people want to know whether elin and i will remain together. please know that as far as i'm concerned every one of these questions and answers is a matter between elin and me. these are issues between a

husband and a wife. some people have made up things that never happened. they said i used performance-enhancing drugs. this is completely and utterly false. some have written things about my family. despite the damage i have done, i still believe it is right to shield my family from the public spotlight. they did not do these things. i did. i have always tried to maintain a private space for my wife and children. they have been kept separate from my sponsors, my commercial endorsements. when my children were born we only released photographs so that the paparazzi could not chase them. however, my behavior doesn't make it right for the media to follow my 2 1/2-year-old daughter to school and report

the school's location. they staked out my wife and they pursued my mom. whatever my wrongdoings for the sake of my family, please leave my wife and kids alone. i recognize i have brought this on myself, and i know above all i am the one who needs to change. i owe to my family to become a better person. i owe it to those closest to me to become a better man. that's where my focus will be. i have a lot of work to do, and i intend to dedicate myself to doing it. part of following this path, for me, is buddhism, which my mother taught me at a young age. people probably don't realize it

but i was raised a buddhist and i actively practiced my faith until childhood until i drifted away from it in recent years. buddhism teaches that a craving for things outside ourselves causes an unhappy and pointless search for security. it teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint. obviously i lost track of what i was taught. as i move forward i will continue to receive help because i have learned that's how people really do change. starting tomorrow i will leave for more treatment and more therapy. i would like to thank my friends at accenture and the play eers

the field this week for understanding why i'm making these remarks today. in therapy i've learned the importance of looking at my spiritual life and keeping in balance with my professional life. i need to regain my balance and be centered so i can save the things that are most important to me. my marriage and my children. that also means relying on others for help. i've learned to seek support from my peers in therapy and i hope some day to return that support to others who are seeking help. i do plan to return to golf one day. i just don't know when that day will be. i don't rule out that it will be this year. when i do return i need to make my behavior more respectful of

the game. in recent weeks i have received many thousands of e-mails, letters, and phone calls from people expressing good wishes. to everyone who has reached out to me and my family, thank you. your encouragement means the world to elin and me. i want to thank the pga tour, commissioner finchum, and the players for their patience and understanding while i work on my private life. i look forward to seeing my fellow players on the course. finally, there were many people in this room and there are many people at home who believed in me. today i want to ask for your

help. i ask you to find room in your heart to one day believe in me again. thank you.

>> i want to go straight out to the lawyers. let's unleash them all. eleanor odom, felony prosecutor. meg strictler, defense attorney, peter odom, defense attorney out of atlanta. eleanor, i know understood the law they're all charged with this because they're a party to the crime. whether they're making the actual drug sale or not, it's

all one kitten kaboodle together. but do you see as a juror would be looking at it, in the behavior of the secretly recorded videos between misty croslin and ronald cummings? >> what we've seen so far is misty calling the shots. saying we go in here, go into the bathroom, you take this bag. i certainly would say she's the leader of this gang. >> what about it, peter odom? >> nancy, the where i take issue with you is this. no jury is ever going to see these tapes. these cases can't go to trial. their exposure on sentencing is huge if they take it to trial. the police are going to work a deal with misty. what they're doing is being patient with her. she will crack. >> okay. complete dancing around the question. i'm going to try strictler. do you see a difference in the behavior, the involvement, between cummings and misty croslin? >> absolutely. what we can do, as peter just said, you can have different

exposure here. what misty's facing is she's the ring leader. she will face in the plea agreement she will get more of a sentence than the other two because she is the ring leader. >> i can tell you two this, to wake up and smell the coffee, people. nobody's getting a deal unless somebody talks about the night haleigh goes missing. i don't mean the same old line of b.s. >> you can't go to trial in this case, though. so they're going to end up with some sort of deal. may not get a very good deal but they're going to certainly want to plead this out before this goes to trial. >> eleanor, that's not true. >> yes, they will. they will go to trial. as a prosecutor i'd be happy to try this case against either of these defense attorneys. >> i'm sure you would, ellen.

breaking news tonight. golf superstar tiger woods breaks his silence. for the first time since his scandal erupts. after leaving rehab for alleged sex addiction, woods makes a formal apology to a closed group of well wishers. woods insisting no questions be asked. >> good morning. and thank you for joining me. many of you in this room are my friends. many in this room know me. many of you have cheered for me or you worked with me or you supported me. now every one of you has good

reason to be critical of me. i want to say to each of you, simply and directly, i am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior i engaged in. i know people want to find out how i could be so selfish and so foolish. people want to know how i could have done these things to my wife, elin, and to my children. and while i have always tried to be a private person there are some things i want to say. elin and i have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. as elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not

come in the form of words. it will come from my behavior over time. we have a lot to discuss. however, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us. i am also aware of the pain my behavior has caused to those of you in this room. i have let you down. i have let down my fans. for many of you, especially my friends, my behavior has been a personal disappointment. to those of you who worked for me, i have let you down personally and professionally. my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners.

misty cummings faced a judge thursday morning, less than one hour after her mother was taken away in handcuffs. with her hair in corn rows and her hands and feet in shackles, the 18-year-old entered a not guilty plea to eight counts of drug trafficking. >> haleigh's father and misty's ex-husband, ronald cummings, was excused from thursday's arraignme arraignment. wednesday cummings filed a not guilty plea in a letter from his attorney. >> while misty cummings was on the second floor being arraigned, crystal sheffield, haleigh's mother was on the first floor meeting with the department of children and families. sheffield and haleigh's grand mothers, marie griffiths and teresa nef vez met with custody officials to discuss junior. sheffield is working to obtain full custody.

>> okay, leonard padilla, what about it? >> what about what? >> well, is it going to happen? is it in the hands of the lawyers? if it were to go down, would you want to talk to her from the jailhouse then get her out? >> basically the attorney sent out a letter attorney and i haven't seen it, but several of the people in the media contacted me and read it to me. it instructs me to stay away from the family, do not talk to any of the family members, do

not communicate with any family members. the deal still stands. i talked to her in the jail before she gets out. she gives me information that helps us locate haleigh. that's where we're at. i have not heard from the attorney and we're not budging off of that. >> wait a minute. let's go to the lawyers. eleanor odom, peter odom, meg strickler. meg strickler, it doesn't sound like her lawyer communicated that to her because she's still talking about leonard padilla bonding her out. call him, call him, call him. the lawyer's giving this press statement saying, don't call my client. >> doesn't sound like everybody's connected with each other here at all. sounds like confusion central. plus if padilla goes into the jail and speaks to her, we're going to be seeing it on your show just like this. the lawyer would have to be there also. >> peter odom, isn't that a huge breach of duty to be -- have your client thinking that padilla could bond her out and the lawyer's writing him and giving public statements saying

don't call my client? >> it would be, nancy. remember, we're getting this second and thirdhand from unreliable sources. >> if you're referring to padilla i would not consider him to be unreliable since what he's saying is being corroborated by croslin behind bars. to bill, former nypd, now with ma jessky associates joining us out of new york. bill, thank you for being with us. bill, where do cops go now? >> i think that the police are working on a theory currently. and they're making approaches to her. they have the specific facts about what had happened happene they're using those to try to corral her into making some kind of statement.

tonight on "the joy behar show," will her upcoming role turn kathy griffin from a drama queen to a queen of drama? we'll talk about it. then, even though his ex-girlfriends aren't the sharpest nooifs in the drawer, they have certainly cut jon gosselin to the quick. we'll explain. and people are upset that elton john said jesus was gay. why? it's not like he said he was the house minority leader. that and more after nancy. what a week in america's

courtrooms. take a look at the stories and more important, the people who touched ourd lives. >> for all that i have done, i am so sorry. i was unfaithful. i had affairs. i cheated. what i did is not acceptable. and i am the only person to blame. >> she married her husband just six months ago, bought a new house and had a successful job working for at&t in orlando. it was here where the woman was gunned down by a stalker she'd met two years earlier while working as a hooter's waitress. >> we are satisfied there is problem cause to believe that jessie killed his wife. >> the investigation into the disappearance of newlywed ryan

crowe continues, even though her husband has been arrested on murder. >> the arrest of jessie john crowe does not end this investigation. >> the woman that he was with, ms. summer donovan, is a person of interest in this case. >> misty cummings faced a judge thursday morning, less than one hour after her mother was taken away in handcuffs. >> all right, tell me your name, please. >> casey marie anthony. >> caylee was almost 3 when she died. >> with duct tape, over her nose and her mouth. as the killer looked into her face, maybe her killer even saw her eyes as the tape was applied. >> i take complete and full responsibility for my actions.

>> i don't know what your involvement is, sweet heart. >> then two, then three. >> there was an overpowering smell. >> so that no breath was possible. >> the duct tape was placed there to, in fact, stop breathing. >> they've already said they're going to pin this on me. >> the face that caylee anthony saw in the final moments of her life was her mother's face. could caylee have understood what was happening to her? did she try to resist? >> can someone let me -- come on! >> could her killer see the fear in her eyes as the tape was applied? >> i just want her to come home. i just want my baby back. >> anyone who contends that no juror could find that these conclusions call for a sentence of death is only fooling themselves. >> let's stop and remember army sergeant schueler patch, 25,

oklahoma. awarded the bronze star, served also afghanistan. loved chicago cubs, outdoors, time with family and friends. remembered for big hugs, beautiful eyes and a smile that lit up a room. leaves behind parts, brothers and sister. schueler patch, american hero. everyone, i'll see you tomorrow night, 8:00 sharp eastern. and until then, good night, friend. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
