violation. if nothing else from the standpoint of liability for the police department. >> now the husband of patricia cook has filed a civil suit against harmon wright, that's likely to be expanded to include the police department. the next hearing in the case is for harmon wright's motions, which include a change of venue. he can't get a change of trial. lesli. >> well we'll see what happens next. >> the interim chair of the council. circulated the resignation today and it looks like he has the support necessary to take over the position vacated by kwame brown. the now 11 member council who will vote on the resolution tomorrow and the special election will be held in the fall. both mendelson and council member orange are expected to run. the polls are open for the

roger clemen's fate is now in the hands of the jury. five hours of closing arguments and rebuttals left 12 jurors to answer one main question. did seven time psi young award winning pitcher lie to congress about using performance enhancing drugs? the government asked jurors to believe the eyewitness testimony of clemen's former strength trainer, brian macnemy. he personally injected clemens with steroids. the prosecuting attorney said quote, you are the umpires here, find him guilty. >> he gave a very powerful closing, i thought. that was surprising because he has stumbled. >> the defense's main focus has been tearing down his credibility. clemen's lawyers say he has lied in the past and is lying now.

the government said contained clemen's dna and performance enhancing drugs. >> it's not great evidence. it wasn't a very strong chain of custody, for example. so it's easy to raise questions about that. >> if convicted on all charges, clemens could face up to 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine. though under u.s. sentencing guidelines, he would probably face no more than 15 to 21 months in prison. danielle nottingham, cbs news, washington. jurors will be back to deliberate on wednesday. if they do not reach a verdict, they won't return until monday because jurors have prior commitments on thursday and friday. derek. well, cursing. it is going to cost you. that's if you do it in one town in new england. the town of plymouth county, massachusetts, voted to fine people who use profanity. that ban was proposed by a local business owner. it's not just the adults that

worse. doctors tried different medications to bring them under control, but it didn't work. this made michael a candidate for an operation where a section of the brain is taken out. that's where the majority of epileptic seizures originate. >> there is a delay of 22 years before they are referred on to a center like ours. >> the doctor of medstar, georgetown university hospital says one of the main reasons for the delay is because many candidates for this procedure are reluctant to undergo brain surgery. the risks were not worth taking, but a recent study in the journal of the american association dispelled that notion. >> what the study showed very elegantly is of the 23 people who were just taking medication alone, all 23 of those patients were still having seizures and if you looked at the group, 11 of the 15 of those patients were seizure-free. >> he had his procedure in

2005 and is now seizure-free. and he doesn't have to worry about his epilepsy at any given time. >> how many seizures have you had since your operation? >> since 2005, i have been great. life has been full. >> anita brikman, 9news now. >> i'm happy for that fella. temporal lumpectomy is safe. i guess we got off easier than we thought maybe. >> we did. nothing heavy in terms of rain fall. although that said, the front is to the west of us. another round of storms is trying to develop. we aren't done with the storms just yet. behind the front, it's going to feel refreshing. let's start with a live look outside. this is brought to you by michael and son. you see the rain drops on the camera. 75. temperatures down a little bit. the dew point, wow, in the 70s. remember last week in the 40s and 50s? not anymore. when they are in the 70s, it's

downright uncomfortable. winds are still out of the south at 11. they aren't going to switch until 11:00, 10:00. the pressure is falling. all right, live doppler 9,000. we still have a lot of showers and thunderstorms exiting eastern suburbs and portions of anne arundel county, st. mary's county. if you are heading up 270, you'll be okay. this is the second line of showers. they have grown in intensity, too. up to cumberland, up to hancock, notice all the red. that's rain fall rates of an inch per hour. at least they are heavy rainmakers. they will roll through quickly. in the next hour, they are going to roll through to the east and roll down to hagerstown, winchester, and across i-81 as we go through the next hour. get ready for heavy rain towards martinsburg and charlestown. i think as we get into the

8:00, 9:00, 10:00 hour. here's a wide view. we still see showers and storms into west virginia. we aren't done with the storms until about midnight with this particular system. when the winds kick, then we're done. the winds will kick northwesterly. 77 in college park. 74 in bethesda. 76 in great fall. 74 in reston and one of the warmer spots is towards leesburg. showers and thomas thunderstorms ending by midnight. seasonal on wednesday. and more clouds on thursday. for tonight, showers and storms ending. mostly cloudy, breezy and comfortable. lows in the 60s. in part because that northwest wind at 10 to 15. by morning, mostly sunny or becoming mostly sunny, windy and pleasant. temperatures in the 60s and 70s. winds increase more. air quality good. that's nice. by afternoon, partly cloudy, windy and pleasant. keep the shades handy. high temperatures around 80.

next three days, 9 weather alert, green, green, and green. good deal. 79 on thursday and 77 on friday. a few more clouds both days, but we'll keep it dry. next seven days. on friday, maybe a shower, upper 70s. for dad, about 80 with partly cloudy skies. warming up, low 80s on monday. afternoon storms possible with highs back into the mid 80s. so again, showers and storms ending around midnight. >> sounds good, top. all right, so you tired about hearing about rg3 and the re skins? that's too bad. they put it together for their practice. >> what would minicamp be without a whole lot of talk about rg3? it's a full swing at redskins park. kristen berset is there and surely you'll be talking about our quarterback. >> reporter: how did you guess, guys? you guys are good. the weather is nice out here right now, but of course we did have to go in the bubble today. you know, the majority of the

team has been here the last three weeks with organized team activities. this week's minicamp is the first and last mandatory practice for the entire team before training camp at the end of july. now mike shanahan said these practices would run a lot like ota's, which means no pads, no tackling. but rg3 still looking impressive. still looking more and more comfortable every time we see him. but like i said, no tackling. so, he really hasn't had to go up against nfl linebackers in a game-like situation quite yet. we have seen him be fearless in practice. he has had a lot of rushing touchdowns. he says that's not going to change come game day. there one thing i want to do is play with fear. you have to continue to play fearless. especially in college guys, they try to take you out. guys are a lot better at doing what they are trying to do. so, i'll be smart.

if i need to swat, i'll swat. by no means will i play with fear. >> reporter: now the newest redskins, pier, not only has to learn a whole new system coming from indy, but he has to do it with a rookie quarterback. i spoke with him one on one a few moments after practice to see how he is settling in and how the offense is progressing. >> it's a great feeling. the offense is coming a lot smoother than i expected and things are going faster. it's a great process. >> i know it's spring, but there's a lot of buzz surrounding this team. what can you tell us about the mentality? >> there's a good buzz going around around the team. the team is confident. we have a lot of great players on offense that can make good plays at any time. we have to get the offense set, but our defense isn't very good
