sam: chancellor henderson said she knew the test scores would fall when they switched from the traditional d.c. cat to the new test called parcc. partnership for acceptance and readiness for college and careers. only 27% met or exceeded expectations in english. just 12% in math. worst for the charter school. >> this is a tenth grade test. we have 11 and 12 to get them ready. >> it's realistic objective of what the students need to know and how to perform. sam: some charters did well. thurgood marshal scored well but below in math. at schools without walls, english 97%. math 76%. banneker high, english 74% and math 32%. three highlights scores zero.

morning. the defense wrapped up the case, but not before the clients spoke in court. northern virginia bureau chief jeff goldberg has been in the courtroom for every day of the alexandria murder trial. he joins us now live from fairfax. jeff, what is the latest? jeff: in the hearing leading up to the trial we heard outbursts from charles severance yelling and interrupting the proceedings. throughout the trial he has mostly remained silent. usually staring straight ahead. today in court he did say something. while his attorneys presented new video evidence in his defense. in court, the defense showing never before seen surveillance video from inside the target on the nayday of nancy dunning murder in 2003. it shows dunning shopping for a while without being followed by anyone. effort to counter the prosecution's claim that severance tracked her in and out of the store before then following her home and committing the crime.

earlier defense sarah burke went through the descriptions where he writes violence and anger, "i hate all of mankind. i'm bitter and unhappy." but the defense highlights it covers a host of other topics like history and religion. when charles severance asked by judge bellows whether he wanted to testify on his behalf he replied, "a man witnessing against himself. that is a 1791 idea." before talking about the virginia militia and the fifth amendment. then after asking that all charges against him be dropped, severance referred to himself in the third person. "the accused in this case was being held. the accused was also being held to answer for a capital crime. there was public danger at the time the accused was being held in march 2014." closing arguments start tomorrow at 10:00. after that, probably in the late morning or the early afternoon, jurors will begin deliberating the ten charges

against charles severance. related to the murders of nancy dunning, ron kirby and ruthanne lodato. we can tell you in watching the jurors they have been paying very close attention throughout the trial taking plenty of notes. but it is impossible to know what they will decide or when they will reach a decision. we'll be watching. jeff goldberg, abc7 news. leon: be the first to know the verdict by following jeff on twitter. alison: movement on the hill today to keep v.r.e. and marc trains running. mcs of the house passed a bill that delays the mandate for positive train control on railroad tracks around the country. the owners of the tracks, the commuter trains travel on said they wouldn't be ready to meet the december 31st deadline. bringing rail service to a halt. the senate needs to take action on the bill. leon: tonight, the family of
