very hard on the family, especially when they see the accused for the first time. but i thought the sheriffs did a great job in clearing the court, keeping everyone safe and the judge exercised some good sense and we were able to get on with the hearing. >> reporter: so, what happened to those 200 people who were inside that courtroom? well, they filed outside and they held a rally of sorts, calling for justice for nabra. and they held signs. they wore shirts as you see there. and that really is what they're hoping for in the end. they say no matter how long this takes, they are determined to see this process through, wendy. >> i understand the mother threw her shoe at the suspect in court today. i remember when a middle eastern journalist threw a shoe at president george w. bush a few years ago. what is the significance of throwing a shoe at someone in the middle east? >> reporter: when you look at middle eastern culture, even showing the s

taking it off and throwing it is really considered one of the most offensive acts. it's to show that that person is where the shoe stands, on dirt, as if they are that person is e essentially a dirt to them. you can understand, the emotions of these parents, they are grieving and this is the first time they see the person accused of murdering their daughter so there is a lot going on in this courtroom. >> it certainly was. thank you, david. >> let's turn now to the forecast, some showers out there. change is coming for the weekend. doug kammerer standing by in the storm center and looks like the weather is evolving as is doug kammerer's face the we saw him the last hour. check it out. >> it's going to be changing again here right after this at 5:15, you'll see something completely different. i want to show you what's happening out there, guys. we had a cloudy day today, rather cool day today. you just saw the temperatures, but now we're tracking some showers. it is actually a storm system right offer the coast here down towards north carolina around the norfolk area. that is bringing in some moisture, bringing in shower

was 14 weeks old and not viable outside of the womb. state law says if she were much further along, tessier could be charged. laura's family says that has to change. >> that was kristin wright reporting, by the way. the suspect is in jail and he has no chance at getting bond. >> well, chances are that you or someone you know will be taking part in the annual marine corps marathon next weekend. after what happened in las vegas, a lot of organizers of big events like this one are reevaluating their security plans. the marathon will be held on october 22nd in northern virginia, and in d.c., and estimated 30,000 runners are expected to participate. and there is even a special kids run for the little ones. news 4's derrick ward has more on the security effort to keep everyone safe. >> reporter: every year there is a new security concern. some incident, some tragedy that adds a new facet to the security profile for the marathon. this year's
