trunk to the car after driving a short distance, brandished a knife and cut the victim on the arm. he was told to remain in the trunk while the suspect got away. when he got out of his car he was in the area of piedmont place near braddock road. people who live near where the victim was dropped off and his own apartment complex can't believe this. >> i was worried you never know what can happen. it could have happened here. >> after i heard the story that is really scary now. >> reporter: police say the two suspects were masked one had his face covered with a cloth of some kind, they have a very vague description of the three suspects. three black males, wearing hoodys, 18 to 25 years old, crime solvers is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest. allison back to you. >> karen grey houston thanks.

well, it is the big story, historic announcement from president obama. he is the first sitting president to come out in support of same-sex marriage rights. the president said over the years that his personal feelings about gay marriage have been evolving. his shift in support, was influenced in large part by members of his administration in committed same-sex marriages. the contentious issue will likely be an issue in the race for the white house. >> 50% of americans do support the legalization of same-sex marriage. 48% against it. mitt romney did not directly criticize president obama for his gay marriage but did reiterate he opposes it. >> my view is that marriage itself, is a relationship between a man and a woman that is my own preference. other people have their own views. this is a tender and sensitive

topic as are many social issues but i have the same view i have had since running for office. president obama says he still believes it is up to each individual state to decide whether to legalize same-sex marriage. how could the president's decision impact the race for the white house, joining us now, lenny, professor and analyst, i am glad we showed the bytes of the president and mitt romney. i thought they both used very measured tones, and really kind of, with mitt romney in his reaction, didn't go over board. they did indicate this would be handled with sensitivity by the candidates themselves. >> absolutely. if you dial back 8 years, they had referendums, in all the

states. things have changed profoundly in 8 years. mitt romney understands that. majority of americans do support gay marriage. barack obama often quotes martin ruther king, his ark of history bends towards justice. president obama thinks this is the ark of history, bent toward justice and i do think mitt romney does politically understand that. >> does the president, you know he may feel the ark is bending in the way towards justice but there are those opposed and you say the bulk of the country, supports it, but a lot of the polls it seems to be pretty split. there are some political ramifications to this. will he lose some voters because of this decision. >> let's look at the people most opposed and those who may be most many favour. senior citizens. they have already been leaning republican any way. he still needs to generate

votes among them particularly on the medicare issue. if they were not going to go with him they are not now. african americans heavily against gay marriage. i don't see them abandoning barack obama in this issue. in favour, young people. aggregate numbers in our country have it 55 in favour, 45 against but young people are 60 to 65% in favour of this. so if barack obama wants to generate enthusiasm among younger voters this is the future, most socially inclusive generation in our nations history. democrats are playing to the future on that. and liberals. liberals have only given obama tapped support they feel he hasn't gone the extra mile for him. they may now say this guy is standing for principle some big liberal donors may open up their wallets. >> can he eninjury noise that base so with him -- energize that base so with him four

years ago. does he energize the conservative base who can come out and say see this is what we are going against. >> they probably feel they have energized the conservative base the day he took the office in 2009. they have been against him ever since. that is the tea party vote, social conservative vote. mitt romney may choose someone like mike huckabee as vice president. he will not win many social conservative votes any way, obama. i think they will be energized and organized for mitt romney any way. they will get out to vote. from that perspective. mitt romney may gain a little in terms of enthusiasm, not for his candidacy but the president but i don't think the president will lose that much. >> the president's comments to robin roberts were measured, thoughtful but was he backed into this by his own vice president and others in the administration? >> which he well, of course -- >> well, of course the they arery is that this may not have been the best timing because of joe biden over the weekend, but

a part of me thinks joe biden sent this out as a trial balloon or to run interference. clearly the two men have talked about this issue. this has been a topic of conversation at the obama dinner table. this is a major cultural issue they were going to have to take a stand on because evolving is not enough way to sort of commit yourself on an issue of justice and fairness. >> lenny good to see you. appreciate it. allison. 9:09 a.m., thank you tony. coming up two standing ovations on american idol as the final four belt out songs they wish they had written. one contestant didn't do too well. idol panel weighs in on who did well and who will likely go home, right after the break. we will be right back

remember we are down to four now. it is not just performance but personality, popularity, it just wasn't there. >> phil phillips had a great performance and duo, but we are just talking about performances. this is phil doing volcano. i wasn't familiar with the song but makes me want to listen to the artist who did it because he was so great last night what did you think? >> well, i think he is the front runner personally. >> are you serious? >> i thought that after last night. >> very talented, i mean, he has the package. i could really see him. >> he has the look. plays guitar. >> he is going to have a deal and do well. is he the next american idol? >> i am a jessica sanchez fan, number one fan but last night though i was like wow, could phil phillips and joshua, could they be the final two? >> well, when we started you know inofficially everybody loved phil phillips and -- officially everybody loved phil

phillips and jessica sanchez. they are still the front runners but josh, it was an amazing performance. >> joshua now i loved both his performances right mow, at james brown -- right now, at james brown's performance it is a man's world ♪ [ music ] >> i love the look, i love the inflection, i love how he connected a song. >> okay let's hear it. >> public apology. >> the best singer i have ever heard in my whole life. >> wow. >> speaking in latin tongues? >> the best singer i have heard on this show. >> you have been on the stage, i don't know during your season if they had as much production value. >> don't get juno started on it. >> if you are going to add all of these musicians and look at the stage, look at the lights vocalists, look at that.

you have to be that good as a performer, or you will get buried by it. >> absolutely. >> he did it. >> for so long in this competition he was -- you just saw gospel. he has developed, okay allowing the song to breathe and take its time and allowing you to feel the song. hands down most improved power artist. and last night i thought i was at the finale watching him. >> this guy is the type of artist we claim we have been wanting to see. someone who can actually sing. >> bottom line people would pay money to see him. right now you would say this is so strong. >> all right to the -- she closed the show. >> jessica sanchez. >> here she is doing i am not going ♪ [ music ] >> i was crying. >> were you? >> yes ♪ [ music ] >> we know how this song goes. >> everybody can't sing that song. >> chef two people.

>> maybe now three. >> and she nailed it and when she looked in that camera, i am telling you, you are going to -- it was over. okay. i mean look, you know, eyes were swollen all of that. >> jessica last night proved she deserved to be in the finale >> i will ask juneau this, the best voice in the history of idol, most pure natural voice, pitch perfect. >> 16 years old. >> man. >> 11 seasons. >> it is rough because honestly it could go either way. >> purest voice,. >> purest voice. >> i personally like her version better than jennifer. >> which jennifer. >> jennifer hudson. >> and dream girls [ overlapping voices ] >> i think it was a stronger performance. >> i agree with you. >> i think we all are in agreement holly might be the one going home. it is getting exciting now.

peterson and his trainer barry hunter joining us live to explain what happened guys. we get the feeling last 48 hours people were just taking this and running with it as lamont peterson drug cheat. can you please set the record straight lamont. >> well, i am just letting everybody know, that i apologize you know, for the fight not happening but anyone who knows me, know that i am not going to cheat anything. >> right >> you know i don't care if it is -- it can be something simple but it is just not me, not in my characters. so right now, i know it may seem a little shady, a little fishy saying i am cheating at tend of the day just at least allow me time to prove my innocence and i know end of the day, a lot of these people who are dragging my name through the mud, will see that. i didn't intend to cheat and i didn't cheat i don't need to cheat to win a fight. >> let's go back guys real

quickly to how this all started. it was a private medical condition. correct me if i am wrong you guys had last year before the fight. it is something you didn't think you had to disclose because it was a private nature. >> right >> so therefore you took all the blood and urine samples before and after that fight everything was negative. >> negative. >> now this pops up in march in los angeles. you failed one urine test. >> one urine test and then three tests after that, all were negative. >> right. >> i just don't understand it. we will get to the bottom of it. i guess until then, i take some of the bad mouthing and you know, criticism. i will take it for now but end of day it will prove i am innocent. >> once this failed urine test came back you guys started scratching your head to figure out why this came back. you did not know why this

testosterone level spiked to the illegal amount. >> it is correct. i want to go back to the beginning. i want to go back to when he was diagnosed to have had this problem and the doctor that attended him is a great doctor, that attended lamont, that saw that he had a problem. and once he took care of lamont's problem, november 12th, i believe it was, he said, he passed his test, before and after the fight. we go months later, he turn around and he goes for a test first of all, there was lamont who pushed for the drug test. >> he asked for the drug test. >> why would i ask. >> correct. >> number one. number two, he took blood and urine samples in los angeles, the blood was fine, urine came back positive. when we got that information, the first thing that happened what's going on here. they told us to look for a cream it could be something in

a cream form he is using. we checked his shampoo, conditioner, lotion, we checked his daughter to make sure she didn't have any product on her. we checked his sports drinks, none of this stuff came up. so directly after that, he had a test that we sent in to the lab, a test for everything, everything came back negative. not only did it come back negative, testosterone level he had at that time, 7.5, which was flagged to be low as to why the doctor made the call to do what he did, after procedure, after he was supposed to have tested positive, his testosterone level dropped even lower to .5. so i am trying to understand how is it that you can have these crazy ratings, one time, and then, two weeks later,. >> it is down >> it is down. how can you get something from nothing. >> right. well, here -- i guess to get to

the heart of the matter we know the fight is off for may 19th we know there is a lot of politics at play in boxing. where do we go from there? you are still the light welterweight champion of the world. do you think you will be able to hold on to those belts and defend your title? >> i think so. even with these findings we have much more evidence you know proven that i am not a drug user, as they put it. it is -- if you use steroids there will be many signs in your body that shows steroid use. >> sure. >> this -- >> this is not a synthetic drug. >> no. i went through all these types of tests to make sure there was nothing going on. i checked out all of them, pretty clear, as far as my level and all these type of things. so we have a lot of evidence that show that i never used

steroid, and, so on that alone, i believe i will keep my titles and be able to fight in the other states. >> go ahead. >> yeah, i was saying like he said we have been through acer roughs tests, the only test that came -- through a series of tests the only test that came up positive was one urine sample that happened in los angeles. how can you have six negatives one positive you don't look at the negatives but hang your hat on the one positive. >> sure. >> number two, we have been checked by a doctor, well known doctors in this area, dr. james macklin an endocrine knowledgist. also dr. albert lee, chief examiner for johns hopkins hospital in bethesda, and they stamped exactly what was done for lamont and the findings of lamont and still they saw it was a problem because there is

a reason why his testosterone level is that of a 60 to 80- year-old person >> guys bottom line we got to wrap it up but bottom line people that know you and your characters i find it disconcerting people are not giving you the benefit of the doubt. i hope you are able to clear your name i hope you are able to keep those titles and get to represent dc as well as you have in the past. we wish you the best of luck let us know if there is anything else you can do along the way. let us know the findings. i know you will go back to nevada and fry to get licensed and hopefully -- try and goatget -- and get licensed and hopefully fight again soon. >> i just want due process. >> hopefully next time we will talk about boxing instead of all these other things. fox 5 morning news continues in a moment ♪
