other judges will face the same dilemma. >> others will follow suit. >> this comes on the heels of a decision by the u.s. supreme court this month. it said the way florida handles death penalty cases is unconstitutional. the way it works now the juries recommend life or death but a judge makes the decision. the nation's high court said that is a violation of the 6th amendment. only juries can make that decision. what does this mean for prosecutors who want to seek death in pinellas or any other county. >> it's not the prosecutor's fault or the defense's fault it is the law. the slaw in flux and in limbo. nobody knows. >> now a prosecutors told reporters he disagrees with the judge. no word yet, though, whether he will appeal the judge's decision. chris, back to you. >> gloria gomez, thank you for that.

as they hoped and planned t is the equal of taking a knee when you have a lead in the follows in the fourth quarter. that's what he is doing. on the flip side if there is an empty podium there or an empty leak turn, it leave as very troubling situation for donald trump if the others start to pile on and point to that empty location at the middle of the stage w this, that's something that can work against him if his challengers are successfully able to develop the narrative that donald trump somehow is afraid of going to the debate. >> who stands to gain the most if he is a no show? >> i think that ted cruz stands to lose the most he is neck and neck with donald trump he will not be able to engage him as he hoped w that bang the case perhaps those who stand the most to gain without him in the stage are marco rubio and jeb bush, the others who may have been cut out at least this way he will

a hoodie running in and running out with the drugs. but the person who doak through here at sun pharmacy was no stranger it was someone bob patel waited on for years. >> it is obvious from his direction of travel and purpose on the video he knew what he was doing. >> he didn't take anything else raised a suspicion. >> when the pharmacist went there he knew. >> he identified the man as matthew kretchfield. a relative is the only patient using it, my heart goes for them. they have been my patient for more than 3, 4 years so i never doubted or suspected anything like this when they can. >> he admitted to stealing the drugs and said he was using them for himself, the addiction to the pain medications is damaging to our community, and in this case to this individual. >> in sarasota county. >> kimberly kuizon, fox 13 news.

his bond is $13,000. the mayor of flint, michigan said people impacted by the water crisis there should not have to pay for water they cannot use. the tap water was contaminated with too much lead after switching it to the flint river. the mayor and the governor laid out the plans they're putting in place to help the people of flint. >> and establish a separate group of experts to work with us on the question of how do we get the water turned back on so it can be safe and clear and what testing should be involved to get to that point. >> criticism has been growing over the attorney-general's investigation into the handling of the water crisis. some of the attorneys who filed a suit on behalf of the people are now calling on the governor and agencies to release e-mails in relation to flint's water. a sad story here, people gathered for a prayer vigil to remember a heroic elementary cool teacher in indianapolis.

bitter pill to swallow. what it does is make that easier. some are going to have a hard time wall slowing that. but it makes it easier. >> opponents say the bill is redundant because of the constitution's protection of religious rights. a house committee will hear the bill tomorrow. pirates are not the only ones invading tampa, what very to deal with dinosaurs now. this he have roared back to life at dinosaurs in motion t is interactive, you can control this t-rex using gears and levers. look at that, that's cool. this is all designed to show the mechanical parts of the metal skeletons in action and teach them how they move. >> you can see them while are you checking out awesome massive dinosaurs are you soaking in science. are you understanding how the different ideas work without feeling like are you being

why social media use could be ju just yesterday a taskforce recommended all pregnant women and moms be screened for depression. while the appropriate treatment may vary many may be getting mixed signals whether

pregnancy a study out today suggests the drug does not pose a risk to unborn children. let's bring in dr. jo to talk about this. what is the research saying. >> yesterday we heard from the preventative services taskforce there may be a risk for those babies born to moms who were on anti-depressants especially the second generation anti-depressants like prozac. we're hearing a study out of britain that said they looked at the babies born to moms on the same types of anti-depressants they did not find that in their heart that they were concerned about. that's -- it had to do with the valve. but going back to what we were talking about yesterday, some of the other things that they are concerned about or were are other things like seizures. pull know marry hypertension. lin darks bottom line is this, these have all been observational, cause and effect. they are not perfectly formed yet but again women should be

about it before they start them. >> what is your advice to women who are confused by the studies? >> i think it starts with the doctor. talk to the doctor. you have to look at risk-benefit ratios. the likelihood of the chance is very small. and if a mom is struggling, there are other problems that can occur if she does not get the appropriate treatment. they talked about cognitive therapy. clearly the taskforce said they didn't investigate other modalities. yoga or medication. there may be other things. the bottom line is to get help. don't ignore the symptoms and they may not put you on medication. >> don't be ashamed. >> changing gears now a study is saying people who always have their heads buried in facebook may not get a great night sleep. that may include me.

looking at younger adults up to 32 and what they found is that the more time they spent on social media the worst their sleep was. that is like something that would be logical but they're not sure if the young people are on social media because they cannot sleep or if the social media is causing them to stress they are watching a youtube video that's got violence in it or maybe seen something on facebook about a friend that is suburbing them. at this -- that is disturbing them. they don't know. there was an increase the longer you were on social media they were over an hour a day and more than 30 encounters per week, they tended to have more sleep disturbances than those staying away, i need to put the phone down. thank you, dr. jo. >> chip? >> you know all kinds of story lines around the lightning game tonight against toronto.

naples to fort myers, fort myers the rain fall total is now approaching 11 inches the wettest january on record. and there is no -- there is more rain to go. the cold front is here. that will slide our way. once that front goes by that's it. we improve dramatically by late tomorrow and friday and the weekend is good. cool nights, mild days. here is the front on the backside with a shifting wind. more rain lurking out into the gulf. you can see on the water vapor a plume it is along the wet. every once in a while an impulse goes by the rain grows and intensifies that was the case last night. that impulse went by there is another one here, that goes by later tonight. once they go by and we can finally say hello to the sunshine and goodbye to the

>> reporter: chip, you know this is the only game the lightning will be playing in an 11-day span. you can see why there is family sis on winning the game. certainly the lite do not want to go in with two losses in a row. they were playing terrific hockey against the defeat against the panthers. the break allows them an opportunity to get some solid practice in, teams don't get many days to practice once the season is underway. so this gave the lightning two solid days to clean up the issues before playing toronto. make no mistake the lightning cannot afford to look past a maple leafs team. they need the with into avoid dropping a second game. they could not want to waste the hard work they put in. >> like they said they come to go to work. and it's, you worry about the
