texting his girlfriend after the murders. lopez beat jane to death while she slept with a 30-pound weight he got from his stepson's bedroom, stabbing her through the blankets. then he picked up william from a sleepover and took him to a storage facility. william used to play baseball and prosecutors say the video shows lopez grabbing the bat. >> placing a baseball bat in the backseat behind the driver seat of his car. >> reporter: there is video as well of lopez and his stepson at the gas station. william wheeling around on his skate shoes, childishly oblivious to what lopez was allegedly planning.

>> and william's body was found with serious injuries. it was found about 100 yards from where that video was shot at the gas station. >> reporter: police say that they found the bloody bat just a few feet from where they found william's body. a public defender called the evidence here circumstantial, but the judge found it compelling. given what he calls lopez's horrendous criminal history, he refused to set any kind of bail that would let lopez get out of jail pending trial. derek? >> bruce leshan, we just don't want that guy on the streets. thank you. it started as a strep throat and ended with an emergency amputation. that's what happened to their 6- year-old son who last year walked into the hospital and was sent home with tylenol. >> the very next day, surgeons had to amputate his legs above the knee and now his family is

suing the doctor and the hospital. >> reporter: this is where the malpractice suit was filed. just this afternoon, the family seeking damages in this case in excess of $30,000, but they tell us that it will take millions for a lifetime of medical care. >> i'm extremely proud of him. extremely. >> reporter: what has he taught you throughout all of this? >> i wish i was as strong as him. >> reporter: but even as strong as he is, the 6-year-old could not help, but sob on mom's lap. it's been a painful 11 months for this family. >> reporter: a nightmare that started last november. and the family rushed the 5- year-old boy to the baltimore washington medical center. they said that he had a fever of 102.5, a fast heart rate

andseverely slow in tonsil. >> when he mentioned that they were extremely swollen, i asked if he had done a strep and she said there was no need. >> they discharged him with an erroneous and really a garbage bag diagnosis. >> reporter: that diagnosis is nasal congestion and strained hip. it meant he had to lose his legs to save his life. now, the family blames the hospital and 33-year-old doctor for not prescribing antibiotics that could have stopped the infection. here's what we know about dr. hall. she's a 2005 graduate of howard university college of medicine. according to the state board of physician, she has a clean record. >> though it is still fresh, eric's parents continue to be amazed. >> he doesn't ask for help, he figures it out for himself.

he's a leader. >> reporter: now, we spoke to the hospital spokesperson, who released a statement expressing the sympathy to eric and his family, but the hospital will go on to say in part, "the care he received was thorough and appropriate. his symptoms were simply not consistent with or indicative of this very aggressive form of infection." we're live in annapolis tonight, 9news now. >> it certainly is an aggressive infection. thank you for that. i know the trauma our family has been through. i want no other family to go through with this. >> one day after a jury found her guilty in the murder of the ceo of the athletic store released a statement. it reads in part, we are pleased to see justice done and we hope that the verdict will bring a small measure of peace

and closure to the tragic events that have occurred last month. we hope that this provides some peace to the murray family and the bethesda community. people are still talking about this horrific crime. late this afternoon the veteran cop that oversaw the entire investigation spoke with our andrea mccaren. we've got more on that and something else that happened earlier today, andrea? >> reporter: yes, very interesting, lesli. outside the apple store in bethesda where employees heard jay that murray's -- jana murray's call for help and rejected to call 911. someone laid out flowers depicting the number of injuries that murray endured at the hands of brittany norwood. >> somebody was extremely agitated and that this was a personal attack. >> reporter: the montgomery county police captain came up

with one of the most horrendous crimes he has ever investigated in the 22 years with the department. and the suspected motive, no excuse for the savage attack. >> i believe that she really felt like she did not want to be accused of or looked at as someone that had potentially stolen from the store. >> reporter: the web of lies unraveled within days of the crime. >> at the point where she let us know that she had come in to the police headquarters and had denied ever being inside her vehicle. >> reporter: dna evidence told a different story. also shed new light on norwood's state of mind the night of the murder. >> she worked the shift that night. i mean, she worked her shift. we don't believe she was under the influence of drugs when it occurred and she had, well, a clear mind set of what she was doing, when she did this horrible crime. >> reporter: the money missing from the three cash registers have never been recovered.

but police believe that norwood took that too. and the department says that her conviction will not bring jana murray back, but it is the right verdict. the judge will sentence norwood on january 27. she faces life without the possibility of parole. and the defense has 30 days after that sentencing in which to file an appeal. live from rockville, andrea mccaren, 9news now. >> incredible case. thank you. >> you bet. the finger pointing has intensified over just who might have disclosed the past sexual harassment allegations against herman cain. the gop front runner has not had any public events, but still hitting the air waves trying to defend himself. we've got the latest. >> reporter: herman cain is criticizing what he calls the guilty until proven innocent culture of washington, d.c. the gop front runner said the sexual harassment allegations started with rival rick perry's

campaign. perry denies it, telling the blog that he would suggest that they didn't know anything about it. they pointed the finger at mitt romney who had a two-word response, not true. his patience has been wearing thin after answering questions about the claims and about a dozen interviews this week. >> there are facts that they are trying to destroy me personally as well as this campaign. >> reporter: thursday, they reported one accuser settled her sexual harassment claim with a $45,000 payout from the national restaurant association. a second woman reached a $35,000 settlement with the trade group. a year salary for her. and cain is scheduled to appear in a tea party debate this saturday. organizers hope to avoid talking about the scandal. >> the response we seem to be

hearing is let's get to the substance of it and get the two guys out here and have them talk about entitlement reform. >> reporter: but cain keeps getting stories about the controversy and the debate is just two days away. >> now, they say that the attorneys are looking at the proposed public statement from one of the woman who had signed a confidentiality agreement with the group. lawyers are expected to provide a response to that woman and her attorneys tomorrow. coming up at 6:00, 9news now will talk to the attorney of the cain accuser. well, it is official. glenn ivy has filed. the former state attorney filed late tuesday night, formalizing his campaign. the district includes most of prince george's county and redrawn to include a part of other counties as well. he will consider running for congress in '09 and then backed off. a woman is dead, a man is seriously injured and two firefighters are in the hospital after a deadly early

morning house fire and the alleged hoarding could be to blame. >> i heard the noise and i looked out my bedroom window and the smoke was streaming out. i thought oh my gosh, jim's house is on fire. >> reporter: he has been jim's neighbor for the last 45 years. but a 60-year-old woman rescued from her bedroom died in the hospital. >> this is a pretty significant fire. >> reporter: and as big as the fire was, it did not surprise bill. >> i used to say if your house catches on fire, it's going up like a box. >> reporter: the reason according to bill and several of the neighbors is that the couple who lived here were hoarders. in fact, in march of 2010, they violated the housing codes for having boxes, ladders, chair cushions, and lamps in their yards. >> but at this point in the

investigation, we're not ready to call it a hoarding situation. firefighters have encountered a lot of debris, household contents inside the house. >> reporter: hoarders or not, you cannot help, but notice the large amount of stuff when the windows broke in the fire and now scattered across the front yards. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. but the clutter did not help. not to mention the homes had no functioning fire alarm. >> it's a wake up call. it should be for a lot of people. >> kristin fisher, 9news now. >> now, the victim has been identified as the 65-year-old. her husband still in the hospital with non-life- threatening injuries. the metro board approved many name changes today for many subway stations. in 2012, the navy yard stop becomes the navy yard ballpark. the king street station on the yellow line will become king street old town. they will drop fcu because the university no longer exists. the forest glenn station on the

been launched by something that's really hard to watch. >> everybody is talking about it. let me cover the news for this today. this tape is now up to 2.2 million hits. a police investigation of the judge has been launched. the judge's daughter told reporters today she posted this tape to the internet seven years after the beating because basically her father dared her to do it. >> it has never caused corporal punishment at all. >> this to me is an assault. >> reporter: she specializes in treating victims of abuse. >> i don't think that there is any way that you could ever call that discipline ever. and i think it's something for the parents to have labels. >> i spanked her, the mother was there. >> reporter: it is the texas family court judge, adams caught on tape again this week. >> in my mind i have not done anything wrong than disappoint my child after caught stealing. >> do you acknowledge that the beating was excessive? >> no, i'm not going to get

into any of that. >> reporter: i want my father to get all the help that he can get. >> that is hillary adam now 23 who made the tape seven years ago, punished for downloading illegal music files. that has been launched to vote him out of office. meanwhile, the tape has people talking again about corporal punishment. >> i think that will belong to, you know, 100 years ago. >> as the survival says, spare the rod and spoil the child. >> reporter: howard phillips says spanking is okay. >> and something a little bit stronger than a lump pat delivers a message. and it tells me that the child, that you really care about the child's behavior and that you are keeping an eye on it. that you love them. >> my experience for corporal punishment is not effective. the problem that you create is that you are teaching through aggression and fear and later try to teach the same children

to not use aggression and fear in their own behavior, sending a mixed message that's completely confusing. >> both experts i talked to today said that there is clearly a big stretch between spanking and the beating caught on tape. so much of a stretch that police in texas are looking at this, but unlikely to charge the judge because of a five- year statute of limitations. we don't have much time, scott, but what's legal? what can you do and when does the parent cross the line in terms of the eyes of the law? >> in all 50 states, it's illegal inside the home as long as the child is not injured and that it is still legal in schools in 20 states here. >> thank you, scott broom. we appreciate it. the tape is still hard to watch. back to you. >> it certainly is. one man is dead and another missing after being trapped in the long storm drain. this morning when the worker went into the store owned by the north texas municipal water district. he was overcome by poisonous gas fumes as another worker who went in to help him.

numbers, the bethesda-based lab teams up with the world's largest electronic product and retail services, housed at the university of maryland. >> you can look at the appliance and notice the features. it's very hard to know how much energy could come from this. >> reporter: researchers test everyday items in the same way you might test them. testing coffee makers to see how much it costs you to percolate a full or half pot. results are clearly marked on the products labeled to help people like susan make a more informed decision. taking steps to a place where the small appliances in your own kitchen could save you a lot of money. now, when she replaces all of hers, she will save up to $1,700 over six years. >> a lot of the items, the energy cost, there is more than the item itself. then when you start to add them on up, it really gets to be significant. >> reporter: here is an example that the coffee pot costs about $32.99, but the energy cost over five years add up to $54.

and she ought to pay more for this model, $99 to pay less in energy costs just $37. >> so the full price of a product, not just what it cost me today, but what i'm still going to be shelling out overtime will be helpful. thank you. >> reporter: keeping hundreds of dollars in her wallet, just by shopping smart. right now, you'll find the energy-rated tags in bethesda and silver springs stores. but they had plan to roll them out nationwide next year and also find the ratings at your fingertips through their website. we'll link you to theirs on ours, wusa9.com, derek? >> thank you, lesli. still ahead, why the federal government is just sitting on millions and millions of dollars worth of brand new $1 coins. butny -- but first, putting a smile on the holiday seasons. we're always on wusa9.com. stay with us, we'll be right

stores. >> if you were to faze out the paper dollars, those coins would get into circulation very fast. >> reporter: dump the $1 bill and americans will embrace the dollar coin because they won't have a choice. hey folks, i've got free money. you can either have a $1 bill or $1 coin, what would you pick? >> a bill. >> how come? >> they just weigh you down. >> i would take the coin. because my kids think they are cool. >> reporter: mixed results until we mentioned saving uncle sam billions. would that change your mind? >> yup, that would. >> wow, how come? >> i think anything that could help the economy right now is a good idea. >> reporter: so while the change is hard, perhaps not impossible. the mint is suppose to keep on making the presidential coins

until the year 2016. by that time they would have made about $2 billion worth of them. meanwhile they will deal with the issue. one bill would faze out the dollar note as they want, but the other bill would stop the $1 coins from being minted as long as there continues to be such a big surplus. which do you want, top? >> we were talking about it last night. i'm all for saving money, but they kind of look fake. it looks like the tokens we get at the driving range. >> are you sure this is really legitimate? >> but you know what, they are great currency for the tooth fairy. >> wow. >> yeah. love it. >> some showers may creep into the forecast after midnight. we'll start with the showers in mt. hood. it lowered about 2,000 feet overnight. anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of snow fell out in oregon.
