before his lawyers cut him off he told me he always wanted the truth to come out, but -- >> if the evidence is there, clearly there, that a person didn't commit a crime, then why prosecute it? it doesn't seem right in the eyes of common sense, you know, as well as the laws itself, you know. that dictates when the prosecution can try a case and when they can't try a case. >> reporter: it almost sounds like you're a bit conflicted because you felt like maybe it was unfair they did it, but at least now there's not looming over you. you've got not guilty by your name. >> mr. moses-el is going to enjoy his time with his family and supporters and loved ones. >> we look forward to having a constructive dialogue with the new denver district attorney beth mccann to make sure that what happened to mr. moses-el never happens to anyone else. thank you. >> reporter: any plans to sue the district attorney's office? >> that's all for today. thank you. >> the lawyers tied limited about their next steps. colorado's legislature did pass a bill a few years ago this allows wrongfully convicted

amount of $70,000 for each year they were held in prison which is close to $2 million in this case. the prosecutor took questions after the verdict. this is how she explained the decision to go ahead retrying this case. >> we could not come to a resolution with the defense that we thought was agreeable to both sides. we spoke with the victim. she was adamant that she wished to go forward and a jury had found him guilty in the past and we thought it was appropriate to let the decision this time. >> she went on to say the d.a.'s office is disappointed in the outcome but respects the jury's decision to clear moses- el of all charges today. >> we needed a refresher trying to remember the details on that case and see where it goes from here because it sounds like there's going to be more. >> yeah, absolutely. i think it's reasonable to expect that they'd want some sort of damages for this if he's been in prison for 28 years for a crime he says he

tripled or jumped even higher in price the past few years. they're also looking at the basics of insurance and how everything works out. welcome to health insurance 101. a world of premiums, co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles. say hi to fred because he's about to help. hi, fred. >> hi. >> let's start with premiums. that's what fred pays every month to have health insurance. fred like half of all americans gets his insurance from work. so the cost comes out of his paycheck. fred used to have co-pays, a fixed amount for a service. not long ago that meant every time he went to see his doc he paid 30 bucks. now he, like many of us, has to pay a deductible first. it's the amount patients pay before their insurance ever kicks in. in his case his deductibles $1,500. so until his medical bills top that number he pays every dime. which leads us to co-insurance.

deductible the insurance company may still want the patient to pay part of the bill. in fred's case it's an 80/20 split. once he hits his deductibles on the hook for 20 cents of every $1 bill until he hits his out of pocket maximum, the most he'll have to pay in any year. in his case it's $3,000. once he's paid that insurance picks up the rest. that is, until next year when this process starts all over again. coming up at 5:00 9wants to know side effects investigation focuses on 100 drugs that have increased in price by more than 70% over the last four years. this is one that people will be talking about. >> oh, they're going to get a lot of feedback. a lot of us have strong opinions about that. >> no doubt. >> we know chris has been working on that one a long time sorting out the details. we've got a special guest coming up. >> i don't know if you've ever met him. you'll see.

so anyway i'm over there driving and i'm a driver in the program for the senior resource center at 32nd and chase which serves hundreds of residents, most significantly those in the driver program that takes care of seniors with many children as well with mobility issues, some of the most fragile members of our community. they drive them to doctors' appointments and dental visits and grocery stores and dialysis and chemotherapy. the problem is that they can no longer find drivers the biggest culprit is the good economy, a lot of people working, but a huge new problem is the number of people in colorado who use marijuana. these are federal jobs, so you have to be able to pass a drug test to secure employment and marijuana users will find they can't pass the test. incredibly the washout rate for new hires for senior centers is one in three. cdot and rtd has the same problem because of marijuana is one in six for washout rates

area senior centers are desperate for new staffers and simply can't find them. all of them are cutting service and turning down requests for hundreds of rides on a daily bases. the senior centers are turning down 300 rides a day. >> that breaks your heart. >> it's awful. >> it's not all that difficult and you don't need a special license or anything, right? >> you don't need a special license. the training is excellent. randy, michael and sheryl a little chatty, so they keep telling me to shut up and drive, but the buses we're driving here are the little 12 passenger buses. they're very maneuverable. they have a couple of blind spots, so you kind of have to keep track of where you are. i passed the drug test, went to driver orientation and i've been on the road now about three weeks. so if i can do it, you can and now we want to see if we can't

stream over colorado will be really calm and dry. a few high clouds and 70s and upper 60s. now the rest of the evening our temperatures will be in the 60s and we'll drop to the 50s around 7:00 and 8:00, but mostly clear skies in store for you. speaking of that supermoon, the moonrise will happen at 5:24, so a little later than yesterday and 41 will be your overnight low with a few high clouds increasing through tomorrow morning. the temperatures across the state will drop to the communities and on the western slope 35. we'll have 30s for northern colorado, 41 in denver. for our friends on the eastern plains temperatures in the 30s and 40s. i'll show you futurecast. remember this is what helps show us where that rain and snow will be, if any, and also the clouds. for the rest of the night and even through tomorrow we're not seeing any rain or snow. tomorrow morning your forecast will be dry all across the state, good news for anybody

tomorrow morning and then tomorrow afternoon again dry conditions, a bit of a mountain wave cloud developing. here's what's going to happen the rest of the week. our high pressure ridge will build through wednesday. so whenever you hear the word high pressure, that means warm and dry. our temperatures could come close to record highs tomorrow and wednesday. it all changes on thursday, though, because we do have a storm that will approach from the pacific northwest. our winds, give us a chance for some snow in the mountains, a good shot at snow for some of our ski resorts. for us here on the front range some colder temperatures and also a chance for some rain mixed in with some snow. so that doesn't happen until thursday and friday. now for wednesday our winds will be whipping up. some fire danger concerns, in fact, a fire weather watch was going into effect wednesday which will most likely be upgraded to a red flag warning

also southern wyoming where the humidity is expected to drop to about 5% to 16%. so we'll continue to see an increase in fire danger for tuesday and even wednesday. now let's talk about those record highs because the record high for november 15th, which is tomorrow, is 78 degrees. that was set in 1942. the record high for november 16th which is wednesday is 77 set in 1941. check out your temperatures, tuesday degrees. so enjoy that warm weather while you can because on thursday we'll have a high of 53 degrees. that's almost a 20-degree difference from one day to the other and those winds will be stronger. it gets even colder friday with a high of 45. it's going to dry out and saturday we're left over with the cooler temperatures at 48 degrees. as of now here's a preliminary snow forecast for the mountains where some spots could get
