and it still is legal here in maryland for a few more months. but one group of drivers is putting us all at risk. on the inner loop of the baltimore beltway, we pass a driver, hauling a heavy load and taxing while -- texting while driving over the speed limit. >> eventually, they're going to mess up. they're going to hurt somebody. hurt themselves. >> this trucker isn't the only one with fast fingers. researchers at the virginia tech transportation institute used cameras to continuously observe truckers for more than 6 million miles. they discovered truck drivers who text, are 23 times more likely to get into a crash or near crash. in the study, texting drivers looked off the road and at their phone for almost five seconds while texting. at if i have miles -- 55 miles per hour, that's more than enough time to cover the entire length of a football field.

back over to you. >> thank you very much, sharon. going back to the breaking news of the indictment of city hall, councilwoman helen holton and businessman john paterakis. professor, how comom common is this -- common is this type where the state prosecutor goes back after someone, particularly in the case of helen holton? >> well, i think it's fairly unusual. it's fairly unusual to have charges dismissed, as happened. so it's only that charges were dismissed that we'd have the situation of them coming back. but i think the state prosecutor indicated at the time that if the charges were dismissed, they were going to explore all options. but yes, it's fairly unusual. >> all right. what is your take in terms of -- we heard this was -- was it because she asked for this to be paid for, this survey to be paid for? or was it because it was in excess of what the campaign contribution laws allow? >> it's a combination of two things. one, it was over the campaign limit maximum.

the campaign contribution maximum. but also, unrelated to that, it was paid directly to the candidate and not through her campaign organization. and the reason for a campaign organization is the governmental entities are able to track and determine what is happening. they bypass that and gave too much. >> how crucial was it for the state prosecutor have lipscomb already admit to guilt in this case, in terms of him moving forward with the re-indictment? does that give him a bird in hand, so to speak? >> well, yes. in many cases, the prosecution has trouble making its case beyond a reasonable doubt. as to every element of the offense, against all of the defendants. so it is facial frequent that prosecutors, then, will try to negotiate with one of the parties to allow them to escape or downgrade their crim culpability in return for their testifying or being available

to testify against other defendants. yes, that is common. >> okay, baron walter. thank you very much. you always give us great insight into complicated cases. i'm sure we'll be talking to you more as this case develops. thank you. >> my pleasure. turning to our area, and there are storms once again. >> yeah, pretty much that one isolated area. down around elkridge. it is a small area. only place in the whole state. we'll keep an eye on that. 85 degrees down from 87. 70 is your dew point. humidity at 60%. winds coming from the south and southeast at 5 miles per hour. and the barometer falling. complete updated forecast is

we are taking a look at showers out there. humidity levels are so high. the moisture in the atmosphere is very high. but there is only one concentrated area. we give you an idea that right around the columbia area, we'll say east of columbia, over toward elkridge, moving over to hanover. and up near woodlawn. moving in that direction. that's where we're seeing the showers really everywhere else. the scan is really clear.

one little area, east of elkton. moving over into the delaware edge of the delmarva and the viewing area. of course that was one area. these showers moving slowly. pretty good downpours moving under them. again, they're going to move tomorrow. right now, coming down from a daytime high of 87 degrees. right on target for the average temperature this time of year. actually, we have hit our hottest normal days. 88, just a few days ago. now we're starting to come down a few degrees. so normal temperature, 87. different have a differential. overnight low, 66 is the average for this day. nowhere near the records set back in 1940. and 1962. around the state. we have 89 in hagerstown. and 88 in easton. 77 in columbia, where the rain has cooled things down a little bit.

those winds coming from the south/southeast are adding a bit of a warm, moist flow coming in from the ocean. but that is continuing to add to our temperatures, being as high as they are. while we did see some breaks in the clouds, that break added a little more sunshine. actually gave us a little potential for the pop-up thunderstorm for that. we are still seeing the clouds out there. we did see the clouds start to break. but we are starting to see now, the influence of a big area of disturbance down to our south. this system sending in warm, moist air our direction. that coupled with a front is going to be moving through here in the next few days. and we'll see the potential for strong thunderstorms. they all kind of collide here. colliding over the mid-atlantic over the next day or so. so we could definitely see all of that moving in our area.

we'll keep the humid conditions in place. small craft advisory on the bay. next high tide at fort mchenry. your forecast looks like this. 72 degrees tonight. thunderstorms around earlier as you see. then we'll day down. humid, strong thunderstorms in the afternoon. and you have to rest your voice. >> will do that. all right, tim. thank you. wjz and the baltimore orioles are teaming up to feed the hungry. and we need your help. this weekend, take nonparishable foods. it's all part of the continuing commitment. and if you're bringing big money donate, put it in my

watermen call it hair, a stringy growth that doubles in size every day. >> it keeps doubling and doubling. a crab won't get in that pot with that much dirt on it. >> reporter: but it's what is feeding the growth that is the worry. >> nutrient fed. that comes from water and plants. still releases things like nitrogen. and those are now leaving larger-than-expected zones in the bay and rivers. and that may be driving crabs into the -- into hiding. >> ask ones that don't die are going to go hibernate. >> that's left watermen with a job of cleaning off their pots while waiting for dead zones to clear and crabs to return. that means no money coming in. and unlike past years, this isn't a spotty phenomenon. it's everywhere. >> and it's the first time like this that i remember. >> reporter: the only relief is cleaner water. but that could take until the

fall. if that happens issue the -- happens, the heart of the chesapeake crab season could be lost. >> expanding dead zones maybe the result of heavy rains this past spring. a 23-year-old man pleads guilty today to shooting a police officer. tway -- 23-year-old matthew gonzalez could be sentenced to life in prison. he admits to shooting officer lee joins in the city last july as he was being pursued for a possible car break-in. gonzalez will be sentenced september 3rd. just moments ago, the man accused of murdering a kansas abortion doctor pleads not guilty. denise is live in the newsroom with more on today's developments in the case. >> reporter: scott rotor entered his plea during a preliminary hearing, immediately after several witnesses gave testimony about what happened during the may 31st shooting. one of the jurors testified that he walked in and put a gun
