republicans, democrats, or independents,

the judge said it was out of their hands. >> jordan is seen here girlfriend, prosecutors claim stacey was driving drunk that night. jordan's family instead of relishing or sentencing today were completely opposed to her going to jail. >> i'm quite sure that there is not enough evidence to prove she's driving much less that she was drunk. >> massachusetts has mandatory sentencing laws, laws that put her behind bars today and left

miscarriage of justice because the investigation was not tur thorough enough to warrant a conviction. >> today the judges sentenced stacey to six months in jail. in part it's led to minimum sentencing and that has led to a shift in power from judges to prosut affect of society's laws. >> with mandatory sentencing laws, they were able to use the threat of two years minimum sentence to get her to plead guilty whether she was or not. >> so now stacey is in jail for six months or three months of judge nicker son.

with family members. . >> donald trump has comments that just came to light. >> our political analyst is here with the latest on this. >> donald trump says he's sorry if he offended anyone with lewd comments he made about women in a 2005 audio tape disclosed by the washington post this afternoon. on the tape discusses initiating sexual encounters other than his wife and claims, "when you're a star you can do anything ." in a written statement released by his campaign, trump says "this was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. bill clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course. 23409 even close.

do -- bob back in 1991. another close call and slowly weakening as it moves through north carolina and then off shore by sunday morning. that's when we start to say goodbye to matthew. tropical storm gusts are working their way inland. so when the ground gets saturated winds of 40 miles per hour easy to take trees koun and doesn't take your 100 miles per hour winds to cause a damaging situation 70s out there and sunshine today. changes out there this weekend. wispy high clouds and 50s in

away from the southeast of the cape and islands, that cloud deck is going to thicken and there's a chance of rain showers as we head towards tomorrow evening and night. saturday night through the first half of the day on sunday. the best chance of rain is in south eastern massachusetts so your grayest wettest day on sunday is the south coast further north and west, you'll get to brighter skies and drier conditions. so here's a look at the weekend. the cloudsth south and east of boston. highs near 64 and our overall pick of the weekend is monday. the half marathon is going on sunday morning and lingering showers around. it's sharp and takes a little south and east and clouds which is great for running but not a lot of rainfall. i would keep a close eye on the rainfall. breezy and cool on sunday evening. temperatures falling back quickly and it looks dry there.

what you will encounter this weekend. it unbelievable in northern england right now. we're starting to get good color out and they encourage everyone to come out and say hello and do hiking out there. many other places anesthesia well. so columbus day into next week is mainly dry and quiet and october weather and sunday rain to start it off. david and lisa, over to you. boston this weekend giving you the chance to audition for wheel of fortune. i got the chance to talk to pat sajack and asked his advice just relax and have a great time. it's a game show. people enjoy the show and some people get so tense about it and worried about it. you're playing hang man. do your best and have fun with

the fda says castle cheese was putting wood shavings in their cheese. the president pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and wound

sdifrnt sentence. they want to her to work in a food pantry or soup kitchen. >> i think it's interesting they're coming up with a different type of sentence but if the punishment is for her to go to jail, why not? consumers were spending hard earned money on a product. >> maybe both. maybe part of probation is getting to know poem in need better. a financial black hole sounds like something to avoid rental property. >> a property owner described her property that way in her ad. she and her husband are looking to attract hippies who can't afford to live in the city. the ad said the gardens hide the weeds and pets are allows because there's no parking and a republican. text messages are preferred because "i sound like a socialpir aishgsih" and now

she's definitely appealing to a certain audience. >> it doesn't sound that bad. just about any parent with more than one kid knows a car ride can turn you into a referee. >> kids fight over everything but one father says he's the solution. jack white used two pieces of foam core as barriers between his kids so they can't steal each others snacks or bug each other. next comes the one >> whatever toy one kid has, the other wants. david and i will be back at 6:00. >> david and lisa the presidential candidates gearing up for sunday night. plus, cutting down on the noise. the new plan logan airport has been waiting for. >> continuing coverage of hurricane matthew as the storm

kelly: you know me. not from thousands of false, negative ads- but as your first female attorney general- appointed by republican and democratic governors. as your senator, i'm fighting for

nd preserve medicare, and i reached across the aisle to protect access to mammograms. i approve this message because after all the false, negative ads, i'm still the kelly ayotte you know- and i'm still fighting for you. great time for a shiny floor wax, no? not if you just put the finishing touches on your latest masterpiece. timing's important. comcast business knows that. that's why you can schedule an installation at a time that works for you. at night, or on the weekend, if that's what you need. because you have enough to worry about. i did not see that coming. don't deal with disruptions. get better internet installed on your schedule. comcast business. built for business. joe plaia: every three days, someone in new hampshire is killed with a gun. comcast business. mothers, sons, friends. and yet kelly ayotte continues to play political games instead of making new hampshire safer. when she has the chance to strengthen background checks,
