7:02 am
and perhaps bringer larger truckloads later on in the day.e the business inside the this th area, really caught off-guard just as much as the residents as well, especially hearing that everyone may be out of water for at least five days while they get into the water main and get to it and fix it, before it bursts. here is a look at the communities, that wsc says theyh are pretty sure right now are going to be affected by the water shut off in order to fix the pipeline. pipe morning side, hillcrest, camp springs, temple hills and oxen hill, including joint base andrews, and the national arbor. here at the giant at camp springs, the doors opened at 6:00, and there were shoppers waiting to get inside. the stores didn't get muchmu warning themselves to bring extra supplies, and customers were glad to fill their cartsthr with whatever they could get. we talked to some team who weree buying for as many as 10 people0 in their household. not only are they having to fill

their cars, but it's putting a dent in their monthly budget as well. the 10-inch water main break is back in a forest area. it's a major pipeline for them to get their water. there's no other ways for wsc to route the water around that pipe. they say signs of trouble began on friday, wsc says it is monitoring system detected a lot of wire breaks in the country ay sign that old main is about to burst. >> this pipeline has a contract number from 1965, which means it went into service then or shortly thereafter. so it's been in service for a while. the pipelines have been serviced for a long time, so they areare old, but they're not as old asod other pipes that we have in our system. when we inspect our pipelines, we find at anytime we go into them, we have maybe, a problem with 2% of the actual pipes.
7:04 am
>> it is that 2%, though, causing a major problem here for residents in the southern part t of prince george's county. once the water is shut off to begin repairs, we expect that to happen some time around wednesday, engineers say could be 10 to 15 hours left in the system until they can make sure that the repair is done and is good. here is what you need to know. as far as stocking up on water. 1-2 gallons per person in your household per day.old if you are stocking up for yourself, 10 gallons of water on the upper end. make sure that you do that for r every single person in your household. you want to store it in clean containers or store-bought water, airtight, food gradee plastic containers. you want to make sure you stock up for your pets. fill up your bath tubs with water that, is what you want to use to flush your toilet. and make sure you also check on your elderly neighbors. emergen

quote
7:33 am
weighing whether to pursue aa case against george zimmerman. newly acquitted of the second-degree murder of teenager trayvon martin.. what will help decide whether he will face new charges and char whether he will have to fight aa civil suit from the martin family. joining us is u.s. assistant russell duncan currently a partner at russell rogers. thank you for joining us. >> we're seeing a push after a f call for the justice department to step? and indeed eric holder has saids that he will look into that, what case would this possibly be, in your opinion, how farfar would this go. >> it would be very difficult for them to bring a case against mr. zimmerman under the civil rights statutes. those are for the officials who act under the color of statestae law. he was acting as a privateprivat citizen, not as a private sint
7:34 am
citizen who was using goodgood sense. you have to show specific intent that mr. zimmerman intended toe attackto mr. martin because of s race. >> that is the tricky thing, because race was essentially ese taken out. difficult perhaps are to some te understand how you can get inton the mind of someone, gut the fbi, the federal government has come to the conclusion that race was not a factor.or. and that also deals with any any sort of hate issues, correct? >> correct.orrect. >> that will doom a case that the federal prosecutors areecor trying to bring.o the standard that the prosecutors and the federal government is whether or not something happened that wasas outside the bounds of the law a the state trial, normally the presumption is the federal government does not come in and prosecute depend on th again one facts that led to the state acquittal. the presumption the federall government is against the is ag prosecution at this point. >> as far as any action from tho department of justice, what doe,
7:35 am
you say? say? >> well, attorney general holdea has said he is going to take ate close look at it and he hashas experienced people working for i him, but the standard that the t attorney general holder who iho work for many years ago and whom i have a tremendous amount of respect for, the standard theyr have to meet, they have tohave believe that they can prove beyond all reasonable doubt atea the trialso that mr. zimmermanmi acted with a specific intent too harm mr. martin because of had i race. that's a difficult standard. they essentially have to prove that that was what was in mr. zimmerman's mind and as and state showed it was difficult to show exactly what was his in his mid. >> before we figure out whatou will happen next as sort of legal acts. let's talk about theou prosecution's case, in a certain point we saw a lesser charge introduced there. was your case in your opinionopo weak from the beginning becausee we had a party who couldn'tcouln speak for himself and we had a
7:36 am
self-defense question here. >> your point is a right one.t it's difficult in the situation like this where there's ones person alive who experienced all the events to show whatshow w happened. the prosecution, i thing was hamstrung from the beginningg because offr that, and i think k point you are making is anotherr correct one is that charging second-degree murder, it was pacecally a reach. -- basically a reach. if they would have focused on fe the manslaughter standard, theyt might have had a closer case. if you get the second-degreethse murder and once that is notnot proved, the case starts to falll apart. >> we heard a lot about this stand 84 groun your ground law. my question to you, this is just a question as a bystander, whybn wouldn't this apply to trayvon martin as well? >> i think it applies to the trayvon martin. he hadtr the same rights to zimmerman under the law.the he had a right to be snait hee s was in.wa he had a right to move freely in the city, and he would have the exact same rights.t same if the case had flipped around,
7:37 am
mr. zimmerman had been the one who had been tragically killed,c then mr. martyn woul martin wou same defense.sa >> it goes back to the survivinn party. >> correct. >> let's talk about any possibl civil action that the martin family might bring. there's no indication, but this just happened over the weekend. what would you expect from the martin family? >> i would expect that theyth would consider it carefully, bu, the difference in this case as opposed to some other cases, like perhaps the oj simpson caso is that mr. zimmerman doesn't. i have any assets. they would depo through thethe spire process, they might end up finding a standard of liability which is a lesser stand for a civil case than for a criminal case, but the end of the day,da, they would be left with that th verdict. they would have to relive the tragedy. had he would be subject to thet cross-examination and the rigort of the trial, and theyio wouldth have to make a decision on whether or not they would want to go forward with. with that even though the standard id less e it's still a question of
7:38 am
did it happen or didn't it happen? on one set of facts, the juryjuy has said it did not happen thehn way the martin family would like to have had it come out. out. >> would george zimmerman be zim compelled to testify if they did go to a civil case. >> he wouldn't necessarily besay compelled to testify at the t trial, but he would be subject to deposition, and he certainly could be subpoenaed to testify, whether at that point he might want to claim a 5th mendment right, if he justice departmentt is considering the case, he ca would have that option. he would be required to appear to testify.teif >> the final question, from thei beginning we said that the prosecution's case it was just a really hard case to bring, might george zimmerman decide he would like to sue the state of florid for what has gone on in the last year and a half of his life? lie >> again, that clearly would bel an option he could consider. i would be surprised if he would want to do that. again, that would minute he meae have to relive this. he has been acquitted, he has
7:39 am
been found not guilty, which means he is innocent, but he can go with his life at this point.n >> russell duncan, former du prncosecutor, and former u.s.u.. assistant in the u.s. attorney'n office, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. me. sarah, back to you. still head on today'sy's talkers, a different kind of presidential declaration.dear what one are former commander-in-chief gave to the wasn't one during a visit yesterday. the nest has been getting a little too quiet of late.

8:08 am
people know in advance that thet should be stocking up on water today. if they have friend and family in the area, they may considercd going out of that affected areaa and getting water, maybe spend d couple of days over there, too; and stock up.up. we are giving people an opportunity to do this, and at, the same time, we're also filling our systems to capacity so that when we do take thisthis pipe out of service, and there' no more water coming in, thatin, we're able to make the water wea have in the system last longer. now this is -- this particularpa area of prince george's county, the rest of the system is not affected. i want to clear one thing, people won't be out of water this afternoon.aftern >> there will still be some inso the tank.tank. >> there will be water there,atr what is there will be there, and when we isolate the pipe, thatp, is when we really want conservation efforts to kick ink to make that last longer. long particularly for fire protection. because we're responsible for that, too.that we need to supply water to theto fire department. after we turn that pipe off

8:10 am
going. over the weekend there were no pings, and we're up to about 30u and this is suggesting that thet pipe is headed that way. we said, this is going to happen, how can we make itit easier on people to stock up on water, because we know this isth going to fail. if we can hold off and give people a chance to get ready, a, opposed to, let turn everythingt off, and everybody depose, what, we had no warning, we couldn't stock up on water.water. we think we're doing this theths best way, you know in a bad set of circumstances. it's a horrible time to do this but the pipe deck tates what wes what we have to do. >> the businesses what do they do? >> they are in the same boat as everybody else.ybody >> there's an economic impact. you have a business that needs to have running water to stay open for business. f you have a problem. schools, and hospitals, and prince george's county has an emergency operation center that will be open and answering questions, and trying to help people access water. >> got it, okay.
