just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and i was worried about joint damage. my doctor said joint pain from ra... can be a sign of existing joint damage... that could only get worse. he prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for... heart failure, or if you have persistent... fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. joint pain and damage... can go side by side. ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. enbrel, the number one rheumatologist-prescribed biologic. eat up, buddy. you'll get it this time.

prosecutors are promising a round two in south carolina after a mistrial was declared in a highly emotional murder case. >> a white former police officer was charged with killing an unarmed black man but the jury could not agree on a verdict and abc's steve osunsami has more. >> the court, therefore, must declare a mistrial in this case. >> reporter: the mistrial in this racially divisive case means that this former north charleston police officer will wake up in his own bed this morning but still under house arrest and wearing a gps device on his ankle. >> until my family can see justice, no, there's no forgiveness. >> reporter: as the black foreman of this nearly all white jury was telling the judge that they just couldn't agree on a decision, two of the white women on the jury cried. >> and that's the way our system works. >> reporter: in a statement this morning, the prosecutor says we will try michael slager again. >> i don't care how it looks, it's not over. y'all hear me. it is not over.

>> reporter: steve osunsami, abc news, charleston. new research this morning about the dangers of drowsy driving. a aaa report says missing one to two hours of sleep doubles a driver a risk of getting into a crash. the study also found in a 24-hour period the crash risk for sleep deprived drivers increases when compared to those who slept the recommended seven hours or more. but it was snow that led to this chain reaction accident in montreal. take a look. first a transit bus crashes into a group of cars then a truck smacks into the bus and then it gets even worse. another bus crashes into that truck. a police car, even a snow removal truck also end up slipping down the street, but luckily despite the mess, no one was hurt. a couple speeding along a slick highway in new brunswick, canada, got the frightening surprise just as drive kevin mcgraw tried to pass this truck. a piece of ice smashes the windshield.

mcgraw said his wife sitting next to him was covered in shards of glass but neither was seriously injured. a high-scoring night for a warrior. >> let's go to our guys at espn for the details. >> good morning, america. i won again. it's just me and you. and klay thompson who got 60. yeah, you're standing by the water cooler going did you hear the guy who got 60 for golden state, klay thompson. i wonder if he's related to michael thompson. he is. he's michael's kid. i wonder if to the thompson that plays for the dodgers, yeah, that's his brother. klay thompson, 17 in the first. he had 40 at the half. he had 60, a career high 60 and afterwards he talked about the corner threes that he missed. he said those were like missing layups. no, they're not. missing a layup is like missing a layup. 60 points as the warriors and

eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. remember 2007?
