know if he was armed or not. >> reporter: the apology came during a long and contentious bond hearing. >> wouldn't you agree a lot of his statement can be contradicted by the evidence either witnesses or just based on what he says himself? >> reporter: which ended with judge lester agreeing to the defense request to allow zimmerman to leave the seminole county jail. >> i am going to grant the motion, set bond in the amount of $150,000. >> reporter: he will spend at least one more night behind bars while details of the release are worked out including questions about whether he will be able to live out of state. we do know zimmerman will be required to wear a gps monitoring bracelet and will be under a 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. curfew. trayvon martin's parents left the courtroom quickly and without speaking. but their attorney did talk about the impact of zimmerman's statement and his pending release. >> tracy martin had tears in his eyes as he watched the killer of his son and it was devastating that he got to give a self-serving apology to help him get a bond.

they were very outraged at that. >> reporter: outrage and emotion in this case is a concern for zimmerman's defense team as they try to decide where he will go when he walks out of jail. >> it's an enormously high profile case and there are a lot of angry or at least a lot of high emotions that exist. i'm just -- i don't want that to spill over on to the family or my client's safety. >> reporter: emotions that have been on edge since the night of the deadly shooting. emotions and anger that concerns zimmerman's defense team as they try to decide between a handful of secret locations where he could live after his release. in sanford, florida, jay gray, news 4. earlier today zimmerman's parents and his wife testified by phone telling the judge that he's not a flight risk or a threat to the community. we're following breaking news right now in prince george's county where two people have been sick at the hospital after a car crashed. chopper 4 live over the scene here on black swan drive in upper marlboro.

crenshaw of course has the answers in this week's "ask liz." happy friday. >> nice to see you. >> our first one, liz, comes from an e-mail from carme who does business with folks up in canada and wants to know why it takes four to six weeks to clear an international check at her bank? >> four to six weeks is a long time. we turn to the american bankers association for the answer and it says foreign checks take longer to process because it simply takes more time for a bank to ensure that the check is not fraudulent. foreign checks have different standards and different sizes which mean they simply take longer time to process. but clearing time may be shorter if the customer frequently deposits foreign transactions. other ways to avoid long wait times? ask the funds to be wired to your bank or deposit online directly into an account instead of being paid by a check. four to six weeks is a long time. >> a long time. next question comes from alan in virginia. liz, alan wants to know if he really needs to prerinse all his

dishes before putting them in the dish washer. i'm all ears for this. >> this sounds like a fight waiting to happen. we took alan's question to "consumer reports." it says that it is not necessary to rinse most dishes before putting them in the dish washer. doing so according to "consumer reports" actually wastes time, energy, and money. in fact, prerinsing dishes can waste more than 6,000 gallons of water per household per year, so if you have stuck on food, try using your dish washer's rinse and hold cycle which uses half the water you'd consume if you hand wash your dishes. and to get your dishes their cleanest, load the large items at the side and the back so that they don't block the water from reaching the smaller dishes. you don't have to prerinse. give it a shot. >> all right. except with peanut butter. that's stubborn. >> okay. try it once. >> i will. >> put it in without prerinsing and see what happens. >> okay. last question comes through e-mail from a viewer named yvonne. yvonne wants to know, why there is no j street in washington?

>> a good one. we took your question to the heritage programs from cultural tourism for d.c. it says when d.c. streets were first planned in the 1790s the written letters i, s, f, j all looked similar. the same is true for popular fonts for type setting in general so leaders thought having both an i and j street would be confusing so they tossed the letter j out. there you go. if you have a question you'd like us to consider for "ask liz" send it to ask liz@nbc washington.com or on twitter by searching liz crenshaw. at 5:00 tonight, how long should you keep important documents like your tax return? can putting acetone in your gas tank increase your gas mileage? why are there different colored lights on the wings of airplanes? the answers at 5:00. >> that's a curious one. >> you be there. i'll tell you the answer. >> i'm not taking offense over the j. >> they could have left out i

airforce base. 74. 68 pax river and jessup, maryland, 73 degrees currently. it will be a very nice evening for us. some high clouds around. we'll see increasing clouds late tonight and low to mid 60s for temperatures. so an evening that'll be very easy to take and you'll want to make the most of it. see the big storm here with showers and thunderstorms down around texas? that's all driving this way, one long system with two areas of low pressure. so here it is as we take you into the future. this is 9:00 tomorrow morning. you can see that we're really dry. 9:00 a.m. but by the time we get to the noon hour, some showers and by the time we get to the afternoon especially 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, stormy. these are thunderstorms that could with this cold front produce a little bit of small hail and even some high winds. then for sunday area of low pressure will start moving up the coast and give us more rain, mainly east of i-95. so let me start you on sunday morning here and show you the

one-inch totals. maybe an inch and a half now in some locations. here's east of i-95. still rain with that area of low pressure that's going to be moving east and then finally out of here by i think late sunday. nonetheless, though, still some clouds and some showers that'll be rotating through and early monday morning that white that you see there up north, there could be some snowflakes in pennsylvania early monday morning. the cold stuff is really going to come in. 59 to 64. gorgeous evening for us. tomorrow morning some fog. 54 to 60. so it's not going to be too cool to start out. but pretty warm tomorrow. it's going to feel like a day in may and very much like summer and then 55 degrees your high on sunday. folks, that's going to be like late february. so as i said, you might want to pull out the winter wear, the thin winter wear to stay warm because you're going to go, what happened? >> wow. >> cold rain for sunday. >> been a while. thanks, veronica. thank you. still to come on news 4 at

train. the guy stayed right there on the outside of the door. >> reporter: then the doors opened. you can see the suspect walking away with the ipad at the bottom of the screen there in the jacket with the white stripe down the front. a few seconds later the victim is in hot pursuit headed toward the bottom of the screen. he had already broken his arm swinging at the door just as the doors partially closed again. video surveillance from the station caught most of the action. by now another commuter joined in. they run on to the train then off then on again then off again. it's tough to make out but the action moves toward the top of the screen and finally the most desperate actions by the thief. he jumps down on to the track bed, crosses the rails, then gets back up onto the platform on the other side boarding a train opposite where the chase began. fortunately for him he never touched the electrified rail. but that had turned out to be the extent of his luck. before the thief could board the other train another commuter had grabbed the ipad from him and got it back to its rightful owner.

the fleeing, fleet-footed thief got as far as plaza station. turns out an off-duty d.c. police officer had seen some of the incident unfold. >> we were able to hold the trains and with the help of an off-duty metropolitan police officer were able to identify the suspect. he was taken into custody without incident. >> reporter: derrick ward, news 4. police arrested 18-year-old kayvon stoddard of landover and charged him with grand larceny. they tell us thieves often trial to resell ipads. mr. wanger says he doesn't think he would run after someone like that again. police arrested a sears maintenance worker accusing him of using dozens of hidden cameras to tape women in store dressing rooms and bathrooms. police say the spying happened at the north hollywood store over a three-year period. 27-year-old alejandro johnson is accused of using 60 cameras to tape unsuspecting customers and employees. a loss prevention officer noticed something suspicious during a routine sweep when the

charges are as a result of inciting fear i guess if you would into the students. >> reporter: washington county virginia sheriff fred newman tells me it was a blank firing hand gun. what you're looking at is an exact rem caplica of the gun. the sheriff tells me everything is realistic about the weapon except it cannot shoot bullets. dillow borrowed the firearm from a teacher in another department. the sheriff explains what allegedly happened after that. >> he basically lined the students up in some form or fashion and displayed the weapon and discharged the weapon in the direction of the students. >> reporter: newman tells me between four and ten shots were fired at the students. he says no one was hurt but those students were very frightened. i asked the public school superintendent jim sullivan why a firearm like this would be at the neff center in the first place. >> we have a criminal justice class at the neff center and it

is normal to have a blank pistol there or training gun. >> sullivan tells me right now diallo is not working and since it is a personnel issue he couldn't comment on his future. parents i checked with didn't want to go on camera but tell me an incident like this is simply scary. >> it's concerning to us and we'll work through it. >> as for a motive there are reports tonight diow was trying to get the students' attention. that would do it. he is out on bond until a court hearing next month. youtube may face a huge bill over copyrighted music posted to its website. a german judge ruled today youtube is responsible for all music on its site and the court decided the site needs to install filters to prevent copyrighted music from getting posted without permission. youtube could be forced to pay royalties for all the clips used on its site. a german governing body representing 60,000 musicians and writers filed the suit
