officers went to a complex in san jose and discovered the waddy of a woman castro had dated. they arrested castro who admitted to stabbing her to death. here is a retired judge who is heading up a blue ribbon panel to look into problems inside this jail. >> the first thing you do is call someone who has the authority to ask that person questions, sit them down in an interview room, talk about it, identify the location so that if the victim were still alive, that person could perhaps be saved. >> in her statement that she released yesterday, sheriff laurie smith wrote, "castro wanted to "turn himself in." but later in the same statement says at no time did mr. castro say he was responsible for the dead body or had any involvement in the crime. she also added as i said in the beginning. the custody deputy failed to

meet the expectations of the department. two months ago law enforcement arrested three deputies for the alleged murder of an inmate inside these walls. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. they did not have to kill her. that is the message from the family of a woman shot by emoriville police. they're now turning to the court system. the family of yvette henderson said they're planning to file a federal lawsuit and set to reveal the details later today. confronted henderson back in february after reports of shoplifting and a carjack at a nearby home depot. a witness claimed that henderson pointed a gun at officers leaving them to open fire. her family does not believe that account and is demanding the release of surveillance video that might have captured the confrontation. 4:34. happening today. the maddy middleton murder case is moving forward. her neighbor is back in court in just a few hours.
