parking lot and got in his vehicle. >> wes brown, the younger trooper, with the instinct to find good in people, had talked his partner out of making the arrest that might have prevented the murder, a moment peoples says he'll regret for a lifetime. >> even ifly locked him up or arrested -- if i had locked him up or arrested him like my mind said to do, we wouldn't be having this conversation today. >> people said wesley brown stepped outside to use his cell phone because it was noisy outside and he was ambushed in an instant. brown came spilling through this door and peoples was standing right here to grab him. the shooting was still going on. brown died as peoples held him. >> could have been you just as easily. >> it could have been. we all have guardian angels. someone looks after us. wes is my guardian angel as well as he was trying to help mr. williams by telling him to leave and he didn't. >> cyril williams goes to prison the rest of his life. carl peoples lives free, but burdened by sadness and emotions he was talking about for the first time today now that this trial and sentencing

of service. at first the plan was to fix them, but now metro's gm says they're buying 95 new buses to replace them. >> the amount of work to put them into a shape i would be comfortable with, when you looked at the time and cost it made more sense to advance the purchase of new buses rather than continue with the old buses. >> reporter: another day, another accident, this time at the rosslyn metro station. a train derailment on the blue line no, one hurt, but it caused major delays. now comes word it was caused by a metro employee. the technician was working on this switch but failed to clamp it closed. >> what happened here is a person did not follow the standard operating procedures. >> reporter: that someone has since been fired. and then there's the metro rider who died of a heart attack after a defibrillator didn't work. it wasn't charged. metro's board learned today that there were zero procedures in place to check the charge on metro's defibrillators. what's worse, only 33 stations

had them. the solution? all metro stations now have working defibrillators and their battery life will be checked daily. >> what this shows is that we have developed a better safety culture here. we report every incident to the board as part of our safety culture. we encourage people to bring this forward and as you saw today, we're quite clear about what happened, why it happened and how to fix it. >> reporter: how will metro fund these fixes, especially 100 new metrobuses? well, metro's gm says they were already planning on purchasing new buses. now they've just moved up the purchase date. so that means we can all expect to see these new buses by sometime next february. >> that's a change we can see. we're glad for the ones we can't see as well. we've got some new information tonight on a chevy chase fiery crash that claimed the lives of three people nearly two months ago. the sole survivor and passenger

their time in the nfl. monk argued he suffers from memory loss, from headaches and having difficulty speaking at times, from several concussions that he sustained during his 14 year career as a redskin. now monk's isn't the only lawsuit, of course, that has gone against the nfl. in all 140 ex-redskins have sued the nfl at some point. so we'll continue to monitor that for you and we're live here at redskins park. back to you in the studio, anita. >> very controversial issue, sure you'll hear a lot more about it. investigators now believe they may have a motive for the abduction of those two girls in tennessee. they say the suspect, adam mayes, apparently believes he might be the girls' father. that's according to his mother- in-law. mayes is now on the fbi's list of 10 most wanted fugitives. he's accused of killing jo ann bain and her eldest daughter. their bodies were found around guntown, mississippi last

candidate asked him to approach the obama campaign about becoming vice president or attorney general. edwards told henry that a hillary clinton nomination would be a disaster, but he had discussions with her campaign, too. henry says edwards' goal was to one day be a supreme court justice. >> he had raw ambition that he was constantly in the game, so to speak, to find some role for himself in politics. >> reporter: edwards is charged with scheming to use illegal campaign contributions to hide his extramarital affair with rielle hunter. prosecutors showed the jury how $319,000 in cash went to hunter's hotels, jets and rent. they wrapped up their case without calling hunter, but she still appears on the defense witness list. now the defense get to present its case and the big question, should john edwards take the stand in his own defense? >> he comes to that jury box with a lot of strikes against him and to ask someone to resurrect their own credibility under these circumstances will be quite a challenge.

would be used in healthy people. research shows the drug truvada can prevent the spread of hiv in high risk people. a recent three-year study found the pill cut the risk of infection by more than 90% in gay men who took it daily. >> i think that we are in an era now for the first time when we can foresee the end of the aids epidemic. >> reporter: the drug is already approved to treat people infected with hiv. it's a combination of two older drugs, hiv patients on truvada far less likely to develop aids and their symptoms are reduced. some groups are concerned this would cause more hiv cases. it's feared it could lead to riskier behavior. >> if people are told just pop a pill and that's a solution, then it's going to be very difficult to get people to use condoms. >> reporter: studies show truvada must be taken daily to

be effective. many worry young healthy people would not take the pill as recommended. >> we need to get to a point where everyone is using at least one and ideally two different ways of preventing the spread of hiv. >> and healthcare providers also raise concerns about truvada's price tag. it costs about $900 a month. every year 50,000 people are infected with hiv. now the advisory panel is made up of outside experts usually from medical schools. the fda doesn't have to follow the recommendations, but it usually does. we are monitoring the hearing finding out if they'll have a vote today. as soon as they do, we'll pass it along. back to you. >> i love that quote, the potential end to the aids epidemic that. would be exciting, but there's a lot of costs and things to consider. mood swings, low sex drive, forgetfulness, sounds like menopause, right? what if it's happening to your guy? tonight at 11:00 manopause,

praise and criticism today for president obama's declaration that same sex couples should be allowed to marry. the president's announcement during an interview for good morning america moved the issue to the front of the 2012

presidential campaign. his republican opponent mitt romney has said he believes marriage is between a man and a woman, but the obama campaign is already out with a new internet ad calling romney backwards on equality. the president's advisors hope hiss stance will fire up the democratic base, but -- his dance will fire up the democratic base, but -- stance will fire up the democratic base, but it is not sitting too well with the african american community and the hispanic community. >> it has the possibility of splitting the vote based on christianity and politics. >> the president heads to hollywood for a big fundraiser with some other high profile supporters of same sex marriage. for as long as just about anybody can remember the children of presidents have been above the political fray, so why does president obama keep talking about them, even bringing them up yesterday when discussing same sex marriage. >> you know, opinions all over the place on this.

sarah palin's daughter bristol hammered the president today on her blog, but a lot of people we talk to think that what the president the up to on this is just fine. it is far from the first time that the president has invoked his daughters. when it comes to touchy subjects, he has repeatedly used them as a good gauge of common sense. >> malia and sasha, it wouldn't dawn on them that somehow their friends' parents would be treated differently. it doesn't make sense to them. >> he talked about his children when pushing a reduction in student loan rates, contraception and georgetown student sandra fluke, trayvon martin, even the somali pirates. >> when he can use them in political literature and political advertising or political messaging to his advantage, he shows no hesitation in invoking that. >> another famous political daughter is furious. so let me get this straight said bristol palin on her blog, it's a problem if my mom

listened too much to my dad, but it's a heroic act if the president made a massive change in a policy position that could affect the entire nation after consulting with his teenage daughters? >> if you don't want your family or your daughters to be part of political conversation, it's probably bess not to bring them up at all. -- best not to bring them up at all. >> former ambassador and eight term member of congress connie morella raised nine children in the public eye in bethesda. >> i think you've got to be very careful as a politician that you don't overdo it, that you don't superexpose your children to the point that they feel they're props. >> the white house slam mad alliya and sasha dolls and metrobus ads about them, but -- slammed malia and sasha dolls and metrobus ads about them, but morella feels it helps keep political arguments in context. >> it does give you a connection with the people you want to serve. >> chelsea clinton and jenna
