questionnaire, i had not. but between then and now, i think i would have gotten myself dismissed. >> what is that? >> i think he is probably guilty. >> college drunkenness, domestic violence, lacrosse privilege and private schools, this case has drawn national attention to this small town. which maybe one reason it is taking so long to seat this jury. but tomorrow, we may finally get to opening statements. in charlottesville, bruce leshan, 9news now. >> tonight, police in prince georges county want to know if two of their own officers made up their side of the story after a shooting with two suspected robbers friday night. >> i'm scott broom in brentwood, where the surveillance video of this police shooting incident does not line up with the report the officers gave after the incident friday night. the lowest price gas station and convenience store. on rhode island avenue at brentwood. an officer fired a shot during
