dinner. >> he suddenly reached over, and he put his hands on my legs, under my skirt, and reached for my genitals. he also grabbed my head and brought it towards his crotch. i asked him to stop and he did. >> three ladies have come forward but chosen to be anonymous but without someone coming forward with a face, a name and a voice it doesn't necessarily have 100% credibility i think coming forward, has taken tremendous guts and determination. she never filed a complaint and said she stepped forward to put a face and name to victims of sexual harassment. herman cain meantime plans to hold a press conference later this afternoon to address all these allegations live in the newsroom stacy cohen back the you. >> thank you. beare only one year -- we are only one year out from the

dc police reopening an investigation into friday's occupy protest when a car hit three protestors they say they were hit on purpose dc police say the protestors turned aggressive and violent when they blocked the convention center the chief says protestors are putting kids in danger by using them as blockades. we the jury in the action, find the defendant, guilty, of the crime of involuntary manslaughter. little emotion from dr. murray himself after the verdict was read in his trial. murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of pop star michael jackson his bail was revoked he was taken away to jail to await sentencing, november 29th, so what can we expect next? the managing partner at reid smith law firm joins us to talk

more about it thanks for coming in. >> thank for having me tony. >> the verdict was not a surprise to me was it you? >> not really the pop icon's death, the propofol, being used outside the hospital, images of michael jackson up on the screen to the jury, really was too tough for the defense to overcome, defense kept them out for 9 or 10 hours though that shows the jury was thoughtful, worked through it, but the prosecution had a powerful case. >> one legal expert yesterday said even if the jury believed that michael jackson was involved in his own death you still have to find dr. murray as being involved as well he brought the medications in, continuing to stop the medication supervising the unusual situation. >> sure at the same time the jury had to sort through, medical malpractice on dr. murray's part or was he criminally negligent was he so

reckless using this powerful medication, where by he never should have used it outside of a hospital and even experts struggle with saying this wasn't a mistake it was a huger or of judgment and the jury found he was criminally responsible so reckless he should be convicted and get up to 4 years in prison probably going the lose his license as well. >> one thing that did surprise me the judge denied bail and had him taken into custody right away. the judge seemed to indicate he thought he was a threat to the public i was surprised by that why did the judge think that. >> powerful message dr. murray has clients, he has patients, he has a facility in houston and he still has his medical license if he is out on bail or out on appeal he could still practice medicine. i think the judge sent a powerful message to the public and jury and heard what the jury said, and said listen i am not going to allow this, i will hold you and let the process work its course but you are not

going to administer medicine to any other patient powerful message. >> he could lose his license likely will i would imagine, could serve up to four years although what we are hearing because of the over crowding, in the jails and prisons in california, it is possible he won't serve four years, and may serve no time in prison. well, over crowding is a huge issue in california, in many jurisdictions but if he gets sentenced to four years he can do two years, three years, one year in prison and be under house arrest it is not a cake walk for him quite frankly but, the justice system has to balance where to put him versus, him serving punishment i think he will reach that i think he will get those four years and there will be a lot of pressure on the justice system and penal system to house him in a place where he is being punished and extremely uncomfortable given the victim in this case. >> the judge makes the

sentencing decision. >> sure the state has advisory guidelines but ultimately the judge has discretion and under this involuntary manslaughter conviction he can sentence murray up to four years. >> does he have any right to appeal. >> sure he does, they preserved those rights in the trial but there will be a sentencing hearing probation will be there, investigative report defense will have a chance to respond to that and a hearing, like a minitrial almost to determine, defense will say what it wants to say why he should get less time prosecution will ask for the maximum and then up to the judge to decide. >> very good very interesting case thank you for your insight. >> thank you. >> we appreciate you for coming by. >> thank you for having me. >> it is a disturbing trend we have been reporting violent crimes against women by other women so are these crimes on the rise? why does it seem to be a little more common these days we are

very much here is a look at today's trivia question, the party non-was built 440 bc in ancient greece to which goddess was it dedicated the answer in a bit don't go any where. we will be right back 

former university of virginia lacrosse player will stand charges in february. he is charged with beating his girlfriend yeardly love to death. a medical examiner ruled love died from blunt force trauma to her head. investigators believe he attacked love in her off campus apartment and slammed her head

against the wall. >> pros burg senior from waldorf accused of murdering a senior from baltimore said she did not do it. the public defender requested a bond hearing be postponed yesterday she claimed someone else killed courtney mccoy at an off campus party over the weekend witnesses told investigators liggens got into a fight with mccoy and her friends at the party and followed her outside and stabbed her in the neck. that is among few unfortunate cases of violence among young women or girls, what is fueling this type of violence with more information dr. susan rich a board certified adolescent and adult psychologist thanks for coming into the studio to talk about this. we have seen this latest case, the buoy state student on student both females, the

question is, we don't often see this violence between women. >> no, violence in general, between boys or girls, is generally against the same sex here, so, you know it has been going on for a long time, in general, rape has gone down for most type -- generate has gown down for most types of -- gone down for most types of crimes, simple assault is down it ranges in reasons from you know, fighting over gossipping, you know, fighting over feeling ostracized and demeaned in some way, you know, many different causes for it. >> this type of extreme violence that ends in murder and all three of these cases we have seen a fatal end to it statistically, is that higher as well now days. >> that would be more

aggravated assault. statistically speaking that is down a bit for girls, but not down as much as it is for boys. so the rates went down by almost 5%, for girls, from say 1980 to 2006, for boys, it actually went down much more like 20%,. >> still in the short period of time we have had to report on these it has raised eyebrows here in the newsroom we got to thinking with a would be the root cause of these types of aggression and violence you work with young people all the time,. >> yes. >> what are somethings out there making people so angry. >> well, for one you know depression and other mental health problems associated with chaotic home environments, parents not knowing how to deescalate their own anger when their child gets upset and not being able to model that for children, is one cause so parents are more stressed, they

take it out on their children we know that people who take out their violence in physical ways or anger, are more likely to witness or experience abuse in the home or community and so it is a learned behaviour, but then there are also other factors like impulse control issues and reacting you know, quickly without thinking and not really using their sort of word so we teach kids from an early age use your words not your fist in some families that is not as much taught, so it is not as much emotional intelligence coming across when aggression happens, it is more physical. >> in these three cases the common lead too is the nature of it these are up close and personal stabbings, beatings not a gunshot from far away up close in your face. the people allegedly who commit

these crimes do they feel like this person isn't going to die necessarily they are just going to suffer a beating what could go through their mind when they come up close and strike someone with a knife or weapon. >> well, you know, i can't speak to either of the three cases because obviously i don't have access to that information but, having said that, when people perpetrate violent acts, against someone that they know, an acquaintance it is usually an impulsive way they are angry trying to get back at them for something, in each case it sounds like alcohol involved or a motive involved and it is something they reacted to very quickly, i would say, in most cases rather than something that was necessarily premeditated. two of these girls were away at school one was a working woman for people who have teenagers at home what do parents need to look for. yeah, if you notice your

child using violent language with their peers, friends, using fiscal aggression -- physical aggression when trying to resolve a conflict or if they tend to act out their anger at home in violent ways, then you know, seeking help from a professional would be you know, the course to go with. >> dr. susan rich board certified child and adolescent adult psychologist thanks for being here. >> all right alison thank you. in snow, wind or beautiful weather, pepco was known for having a hard time keeping the lights on it is one year since the company relaunched its reliability plan. the president joins us in studio next to talk about the progress the company has made in a year. >> an as steroid heading toward earth today experts say it will miss us but by how much.

sunday our high temperatures will be back see the 50s. not the case today enjoy today sunshine beautiful afternoon highs 69 degrees, winds nice and light occasionally out of the east, 5 miles per hour clear and cool temperatures falling back probably turn on the heat for a time overnight. 5 day forecast, 67 tomorrow rain showers during the day thursday, 62 cooler temperatures by friday daytime high, 62 degrees. that will do it for weather tony,. all right thank you very much it won't be too long before we see more snow so as we approach the winter months can pepco customers be at ease about their power during inclement weather conditions, more information the president of pepco, thomas graham thanks for coming in. >> my pleasure. >> if an as steroid hits. just kidding. >> take out my android. >> right. no promises if an asteroid hit. >> you made a very big deal

about the the reliability plan, getting out there and improving the situation we hear about tree trimming replacing lines, tell us how things have gone during the last year. >> been very focus on improving reliability of service for customers since last september we trimmed 3,000 miles of tree lines that is what we will finish by the end of this year. we renewed or replaced 300 miles of under ground cable we put on the property over 200 additional line contractors hired another additional lineman for the company over the last year, so we are doing -- there are a lot of process improvements we have aps you can report an outage on the internet, and for your droid for your iphone, for your blackberry we are trying to make communication with customers sharper. >> numbers are impressive in terms of numbers of hires,

miles that you trim, we hear a lot about the tree trimming, are tree branches the number one factor when it comes to reliability, during or after a storm? >> absolutely 90% of outages, can be attributed to trees, during a major event. but we are not putting everything on the trees, there is accountability we have, there is somethings that we needed to accomplish and that really has to do with the reliability plan we have invested over the next 5 years, $256 million maryland, $318 million district of columbia and then also going to launch that right into our installation, smart users. i want to talk about those in a moment first you mention the money here this is by some of pepco's own estimates some of this is costing a half billion dollars to do a lot of this work where is that money coming from. >> it is our money we make the investment in the system and

then we would seek rate recovery through the public service commission the public service commission in turn would make a determination whether those costs are proof and then provide cost recovery. >> when it gets to winter time we have big storms we see what is happening in the northeast, the blizzard of october, in the big storms though, there is -- you can't guarantee that you are not going the lose power and if you do it might not be for some time. >> absolutely we are doing everything we can to improve service reliability day today for customers but if a major system comes on, our property, into the area, similar to what is taking place in the northeast, there will be outages we are trying to improve our communication, minimize number of outages. smart meters are starting to go into homes, they have been going in for several months what are they exactly some people don't want them

tell us what they are exactly. >> we received a grant from the federal government for $150 million, to fully deploy ami, advance meter infrastructure. smart meters district of columbia, we have an exceptional pilot program, very successful national award winning program it showed customers would respond to signals they will be able to see in a very short period of time with their use. so in the district today we have installed over 200,000 smart meters we will finish that process over the end of this year and maryland, we installed 34,000 smart meter supports will finish that end of next year. do most people see their costs go up or down or stay the same? >> you know it is hard to say how you respond to that response of the crisis, in the pilot program it was very good

feedback we received and showed all customers would respond to the right signal. >> but when you say that, that means if your costs go up you respond to that cutting down your use of power and become more inher joy efficient. >> exactly that is one -- energy efficient. >> exactly that is one piece, customers will also enjoy outage protection i need you to call me to tell me you are out of service once that smart meter comes in we can ping the meter and determine whether you are out of service and that will help in terms of efficiency and operation we had a situation in another territory, where we saved 600 visits to various locations because we were able to ping the system. >> okay well, we wish you the best of luck upcoming season. we will talk to you at some point hopefully it won't be a harsh winter. >> no, a sunny winter. >> and no asteroid. thank you thomas.
