should stand. the state's response is pretty clear and simple. they say owen labrie was found guilty of certain uses of computer service pros hib ited and the letter of the law needs to be followed. la bring was convicted of the felony level offense that basically says he used the internet to lure a 15-year-old into a sexual assault on the campus of the exclusive st. paul's prep school in concord. his lawyers filed a motion to have that verdict set aside because of two reasons. first, they said that the statute was never meant to apply to two teenagers who knew each other, and simply used the internet to arrange a date. but prosecutors said in their objection that the law doesn't differentiate between people who are acquainted and anonymous people prowling the internet looking for victims. defense lawyers also said the fact that labrie will have to register as a sex offender for life is too harsh. prosecutors say it's up to the

write laws, and it's not open to judicial interpretation. legal analysts have said it's extremely rare that a motion to set aside a verdict is granted. the judge has 60 days to issue an other, but it's likely it will be made before the october 29 sentencing date. live in the newsroom, andy hershberger, wmur news 9. jennifer: tonight police are more worried about a manchester woman after the roommate she might have disappeared with has been found dead. 36-year-old steven andrade's body was found in a motel 6 in tewksbury, massachusetts where he had apparently killed himself. more than two weeks ago he was reported missing along with 57-year-old sue hutch i son. police found hutchinson's silver bmw which they say andre was last seen driving. >> the fact that there's a self inflicted gunshot wound by steven andrade, we're starting to be more concerned that something untoward may have happened to sue hutchinson.

hours here, and eventually will march through our area during the day tomorrow. here we go on future cast, this will take you hour by hour through time. tonight mainly clear skies at least through the evening, this is about 10:00, so temperatures will take a pretty big dip quickly. but then the clouds will fill in. here we are by 7:00 a.m. most of you should be able to get to the bus stop and get to work without getting wet. but the rain showers will be starting up in the northern part of the state first. then over spilling the rest of the state through the day. and probably about midday and the early part of the afternoon is with we'll see the heaviest steadiest rain moving through. here's 5:00 in the evening when you're heading home from work on friday, maybe going to the football games, be prepared for wet weather, though not widespread, there will be some on and off showers tracking through the area. here's your saturday morning, starting out with maybe some patchy fog or clouds, but look at this, they basically all go away through the rest of of the
