a georgia man says he's on death row because he's black and the jury that sentenced him is white. tomorrow the supreme court will hear his case. the outcome could change the way juries nationwide are selected. >> reporter: timothy tyrone foster does not deny killing a 79-year-old woman during a burglary in her northern georgia home. but foster says he didn't get a fair trial because the prosecutor removed all the black candidates from the jury. the trial came just a year after the supreme court ruled jurors could not be excused because of their race, but lawyers could still dismiss them for cause. >> what we've seen since the case was decided is that prosecutors continue to strike african-americans or hispanics from the juries and then just make up reasons for striking them.
3:11 am
as long as they're not race reasons. >> reporter: steven bright, a veteran death penalty attorney, is representing foster. he went through the prosecution team's notes and says he found blatant discrimination. >> what we really found was an arsenal of smoking guns. >> reporter: the name of each potential black juror was highlighted. the word "black" circled next to the race question on questionnaires. and in this list of possible jurors titled "definite no," the top five people are black. during closing arguments the prosecutor urged the all-white jury to sentence foster to death in part to deter other people out there in the projects from doing the same again." tomorrow, bright will argue the supreme court should grant foster a new trial and force trial judges to hold juror challenges to a higher standard. >> they have to scrutinize the reasons that prosecutors give and that they can't just take them at face value. because if that's going to happen, then this is going to continue from now on.
3:12 am
>> georgia courts have repeatedly rejected claims of discrimination. prosecutors even argue they actually wanted a black juror to avoid accusations that the jury was biased. >> all right, thank you. this tuesday, voters in ohio will decide whether to legalize marijuana. at issue is a proposed amendment that would give a small group of investors a pot monopoly. here's barry peterson. >> it's time for marijuana reform. so law enforcement can spend their time cracking down on real criminals. >> reporter: the ads are coming fast and furious. for a constitutional amendment legalizing pot for recreational and medical use. a campaign using a battle-tested plan run by a political operative, ian james. >> they're getting ready for the ipad canvasses -- >> reporter: unlike other states, here ten groups of hand-picked investors would get exclusive rights to grow ohio's pot and they are paying to play, bankrolling almost all the $24
3:13 am
million campaign. >> these aren't people we think of as stoners, hippies. >> no. >> we're talking about prominent, recognizable, well-known businesspeople. >> sure, right. >> who are supporting this. >> right. we're talking about taking this from a tie dye to a suit and tie approach. >> this is not the right way to do it. >> reporter: former governor bob taft says this kind of business is bad business. >> there may be some money coming if this issue passes to our local governments, but think about the public health costs in terms of our children, our youth. >> reporter: every state makes its own rules for growing legal marijuana. the group of ten investors here say they will compete against each other. and argue that their plan streamlines getting pot into shops and money into tax coffers. investor jennifer drury runs a liquor distribution company. >> it tells the rest of the nation that ohio is progressive and people are progressive thinkers and that if it can happen in ohio, it can happen anywhere. >> no on issue 3.
3:14 am
>> reporter: but opponents got their own amendment on the ballot to ban monopolies. and both the anti and pro amendments are polling well. if both of these pass, in your understanding, what's next? >> if there's one lawyer alive in the state of ohio, there's going to be a lawsuit. >> reporter: if so, courts may ultimately decide if marijuana in ohio stays on the black market or becomes the state's newest big business. barry peterson, cbs news, columbus. to illinois where lawmakers have proposed a new approach to preventing domestic violence. they're looking to the beauty profession to help spot ugly situations at home. why some believe training salon workers could help save lives. >> reporter: women go to the salon for a new look. but can end up spilling secrets about struggles at home. new york stylist carrie towers has heard it all. >> it can be very intimate once you get to know someone and they
3:15 am
keep coming back to you. they trust you. >> reporter: it's that openness that has illinois lawmakers looking to require a mandatory hour of training for nail technicians and hair dressers to spot signs of abuse when renewing their license every two years. this would be the first law of its kind in the country. >> training specifically for domestic violence might actually be very helpful? >> absolutely. i do not know what to spot. training would be a great thing. >> reporter: national programs like the professional beauty associations cut it out train stylists to recognize abuse and refer victims to helpful resources. results can be hard to track. safe horizon is the largest victims services agency in the nation. ceo ariel swang says abused women are often isolated from friends and family so they're more likely to open up to a companismetologist.

>> there's something about that salon technician or hairstylist that makes them feel free to talk but not be judged. >> reporter: nationwide over 20,000 phone calls are placed to domestic violence hot lines but the department of justice estimates 50% of cases go unreported. >> with 1 in 4 american women experiencing domestic violence, there are going to be women in every salon, every day, who could benefit from a referral to a domestic violence service provider. >> if the law passes in illinois salon employees wouldn't be blamed for failing to intervene in a domestic violence situation. safe horizon points out there are resources for victims in every state and online.

this weekend rescue crews off southern california managed to partially free a humpback whale tangled in a fishing line. as maria villareal reports it's a recurring problem with whales swimming closer and closer to shore. >> reporter: by the time rescuers reached this humpback whale, more than 40 feet long and weighing 40,000 pounds, it was dragging two long lines of rope stuck in its mouth and trailing past its tail. >> it is a very, very risky and somewhat dangerous procedure. >> reporter: seaworld curator keith yip is part of the rescue crew which first tried to free the whale on friday, but it swam more than 80 miles before crews spotted it again near san diego. >> this animal had this in tow. even after the team up north cut 100 feet of line off.
3:20 am
>> reporter: russell moore operates whale-watching tours and assisted in the rescue. >> similar to the way a fisherman would pull in a big fish, they pulled in a humpback whale. this whale i believe in the end knew we were there to help and allowed us to cut the gear free. >> reporter: rescuers freed another whale last week. two other recent attempts failed. since january there have been at least 50 whales caught in fishing lines off the california coast. the food they prey on is drawn to these waters because of warmer ocean temperatures. and when the whales get here -- >> there's all sorts of different entanglements. some with long lines, hooks all over. it's just really kind of a dangerous situation. >> reporter: one scientist tells cbs news the outlook for this humpback whale is guarded. part of the line may still be trapped in its mouth. but at least, he says, the whale now has a much better chance of survival. maria villarreal, cbs news, los angeles. up next here, retailers are ready to sell this holiday season.
3:23 am
it is november 1st, the start of the holiday shopping season. the national retail federation predicts shoppers will spend 3.7% more than last year. some analysts are not so sure. here to explain, cbs news business analyst -- jill schlessinger, where is the consumer right now? >> we're almost seven years from the official end of the recession. people are not feeling confident. we've got a recent cbs news poll showing 60% of americans who think the condition of the national economy is bad. and just 38% think it's good. because of that lack of confidence, there are many analysts predicting this could be a flat season from last year. maybe up just a little bit. >> which is interesting because millions of new jobs created
3:24 am
over the past year, the unemployment rate is at 5.1%, gas prices 80 cents cheaper than last year. people should have more money to spend. >> yes, and economists thought that extra money would be spent freely throughout lots of different sectors. that has not happened. what has occurred is that americans are saving. in fact, as of a report this past week, we know the savings rate is now 4.8%. that's pretty healthy. and yes, although the labor landscape has improved we are still only 2.2% higher with wages. i think that is really sticking into the american mindset. >> have retailers given some indication where they're at or what they're expecting? >> we know based on how many employees they plan to hire. and again, mixed news. amazon up 25% over last year. 100,000 temp workers for the holidays. walmart flat at 60,000. toys "r" us down by 11% at 40,000. i can't say it's going to be a lump of coal, probably not going to be a big diamond either, somewhere in between. >> thanks very much.
3:26 am
but why should i get tested for colon cancer? i don't have any symptoms. [female announcer] colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cancer killer in the u.s. and it doesn't always cause symptoms, but i'm only 53. i'm too young. [announcer] screening should begin at 50. but. that test... [announcer] there are several kinds of screening tests for colorectal cancer... ask your doctor which is right for you. i've been screened...and it turned out i had polyps. and the doctor removed them before they had a chance to turn into cancer! [announcer] if you're 50 or older, get screened.
3:27 am
it was one of the wildest plays in football history. today officials said also one of the worst series of calls. miami/duke. final seconds of the game. miami scored a game-winning touchdown after eight lateral passes. today the league conducted a review and suspended the entire officiating crew two games for blowing multiple calls on the play. cold comfort for duke fans, the score stands, hurricanes win in the end. finally, he is being called erything from the next big thing to hockey's lebron james. he is conner mcdavid, a generational talent who just began his first season on the ice playing for the edmonton oilers. once home to wayne gretzky. this week's new edition of "60 minute sports," we got an inside look at the making of a mega-prospect. >> reporter: we've heard this story before. the precocious child who exhibits an almost spooky talent at a very, very young age.
3:28 am
his parents, brian and kelly, say they neither pushed for for discouraged his obsession with hockey. >> my perspective was we owed it to him to give him every opportunity to be successful. and if success didn't follow, we would deal with that as a family. because first and foremost we're still a family. it was pretty clear to me from a young age he was a talented hockey player. and he had a gift that others didn't have. >> reporter: like only two players before him, mcdavid signed a special exception that allowed him to play in the ontario league for the erie otters at the age of 15, against kids three and four years older. but that involved leaving home. as a child he warned his mother that day would come. >> we were standing at the kitchen table and he said, i'll be leaving home when i'm 15. and i said, oh my gosh, you don't want to leave your mom. and he looked right at me and he said, are you going to stop me? and i thought, well!
3:29 am
you know, sure, i can if i want to. >> a shy kid who doesn't want to talk much. >> uh-huh. >> knows when to talk? >> yeah. he was very young, very insightful. >> he was probably 7. >> he was 7? >> very young. >> it's never easy to leave home at any time. obviously for a mom or dad, when you're 15 and leaving home, i think it makes it that much harder. it's something that i just needed to do. needed to keep moving on in my hockey career. >> mcdavid is off to an extraordinary start, 12 points in 12 games in his first season. you can see the full report and the rest of "60 minutes sports" tuesday night on showtime. that is "the overnight news" for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back for "the morning news" and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, good day.
3:30 am
this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the overnight news, i'm jeff glore. wisconsin republican paul ryan is starting his first full week as speaker of the house, a powerful job that puts him second in line to the presidency. it's a position ryan never wanted to start. he sat down with john dickerson. >> john boehner said, i came here to fight for a smaller, less costly, more accountable government. i began to realize over the years there was no winning this fight." >> i don't believe that. i think you can win this fight. i think if you offer the people of this nation who believe that the country is on the wrong track, because it is, if you offer them a bold alternative vision for how to get this country back on the right track, how to fix our problems, how to reapply our founding principles,
3:31 am
yes, i believe we can relimit this federal government and give people the kind of freedom and opportunity for all that they deserve. >> you said that you want to tackle issues head on, even the tough ones. first order of business? immigration reform? going to tackle that head on? >> nice. i think it would be a ridiculous notion to try and work on an issue like this with the president we simply cannot trust on this issue. he tried to go it alone, circumventing legislative process, with his executive orders. so that is not in the cards. i think if we reach consensus how best to achieve border and interior enforcement security that's fine. but look, we've taken plenty of tactical risks here in congress. i think it's time we take some policy risks by showing the people what we really believe, who we are, how we can fix this country's great problems. we've been timid around here too long, in my judgment. i think we have to offer people a bold agenda. >> give me a policy risk.
3:32 am
>> i think we should say what the new tax code looks like, we should say what obamacare replacement looks like. people don't like obamacare, members of congress don't like obamacare, most of us in the majority voted against this. if you take a look at the premiums, take a look at the fact that decisions are being taken away from patients and their doctors, people are starving for an alternative to this vision. >> is this a cost to what that house has just gone through on the republican side? >> i don't think there was a cost as much as it was growing pains. i think what we just experienced in the last couple of weeks was what was necessary to unify our conference. to unify our party. there are basically four things i think we need to do. number one, get the house working like it was intended to work by the founders. number two, we need to seek common ground. we need to find common ground where we can find it to advance the nation's interests. we can do so without compromising our principles. number three, i think it's incredibly important that we serve as an effective opposition party, a check on the administration's power. but that leads me to the most
3:33 am
important point, number four. we've got to be a bold alternative party. a proposition party. we don't like the direction the country's headed so we owe it to the people of this nation how we would do things differently and that's what we have to do in 2016. >> the subgroup of conservatives who fought against john boehner a lot of people said these tactics you're using are going to hurt the party, they're too extreme. but in the end republicans have voted for a speaker they really like, you. so isn't that a validation of the tactics? >> these guys are good friends of mine. i am a movement conservative and people know that. i think it's important -- i think what we haven't done is offer a vision. we have not shown not only ourselves but the nation what is the horizon we're shooting for? what are the big ideas we're going to champion? that's unifying. that's what we should rally around. so that to me means we should put aside the timid nature of not taking risks on policy and show people why we should be trusted to lead in this nation, to get us to a better day.
3:34 am
>> do you see this job as a leader where you say, here's where we're going and everybody follows you? or are you more of a facilitator? john boehner used to talk about working the wheel of the house. >> i think that's right. i was not elected dictator of the house, i was elected speaker of the house. that means we do it in a bottom-up approach, reach consensus. as republicans we have common principles. we need to take those common principles and apply them to the problems of the day through consensus to show the country a better way forward. it's my job to lead to that consensus but not to dictate that consensus. >> you talked about how bigger government was possibly smashing community in america. >> yeah. >> that's a bigger philosophical vision. do you see your job as speaker to make that case? >> i do see my job as speaker -- and i'm redesigning this job. i don't think it can work going forward like it's worked in the past. i can't pick up where john left off. it has to be done differently. my colleagues agree with that. i think that's one of the reasons why i was elected speaker.
3:35 am
so i do believe that means we have to be bold, we have to show who we are, what we believe. when you're asking me about communities, i spent a great deal of time and thought about this. i think big government displaces what we call civil society. big government makes it harder for communities to come together and heal problems. so that to me is an incredibly important dialogue we're going to have to have in this country which is, how do we attack the root causes of poverty? how do we deal with re-integrating displaced communities so that people can build better lives for themselves? >> you went out somewhat anonymously, totally anonymously into the country, went into communities, talked to addicts, talked to people down on their luck. you won't be able to do that anymore. >> i'm going to do it. maybe not as anonymous as before. i'm going to keep doing that because i think we need to go out in our communities and learn from people who are successful at actually fighting poverty, at getting people back on their feet. i think we need another round of welfare reform to move people from welfare to work so people can make the most of their lives.
3:36 am
i'm going to keep doing that. >> some things you may have to do differently. still going to sleep in your office? >> i am. i just work here. i live in janesville, wisconsin. i'm not changing that. i work here dawn till about midnight. and i'm just going to sleep in my office because it's very convenient. >> may have to get the cigarette smoke out? >> i'm going to sleep in my regular office. >> you have young children. what'd you tell them? >> you know, we had a lot of talks about this. in the week building up to this. and i told them that i'm still going to be home on saturdays and sundays like i always have been. what we do on saturdays is i usually do my kids' sporting events and sundays are family days. that's not going to change. i'm going to commute back and forth to wisconsin every week. the way i look at this is, don't you think that people in this country want citizen legislators? don't you think people in this country want their representative in congress living among them, understanding them?
3:37 am
i'm going through the same kinds of trials and tribulations, raising families, that they do. that to me is what a citizen legislature should be like. i don't see myself changing in that respect at all. >> don't you think you'll change the way the house works? you're the first speaker since james b. blaine to have kids. they didn't have electricity then. what's it going to do to change the house, the fact that you have young kids? >> electricity will make it much more efficient, i think. you know -- it's a younger preceded in the house. when i came to congress, i was the youngest person -- harold ford and i were the youngest, 28 years old. there's a newer, younger breed of members from both sides of the aisle who have families. i think that's a good thing. i think having new blood, young people here, offering fresh ideas, is a good thing. i want to continue that process. >> anything else you've carved out that you say, i don't care what being speaker does, i'm going to keep doing this? camping, for example? >> of course i'm going to keep camping, mountain climbing, hunting. i told the security detail that human scent is not good for bow hunting. i won't go into details. but i have to keep life normal.
3:38 am

3:41 am
hannah lives outside columbus in the upper middle class suburb of worthington. her parents are professionals. the median income here is $87,000 a year. before she got hooked on heroin, hannah thought it was just another party drug. >> how did you get to those depths? what was the path you took? >> started with weed. it was fun. i got good weed. went to, oh my gosh, went to pills. it was still fun. percocet. xanax. vicodin. all that kind of stuff. then heroin. i started smoking it at first. >> you're 15? >> yeah. i was like, oh my gosh, that was amazing. >> you remember even now? >> oh, yeah. let's say i've never done a drug in my life. i would normally be happiness at a 6 or a 7 on a scale of 10. then heroin. you're automatically at a 26. i want that again. >> reporter: hannah says the heroin was so addictive that
3:42 am
rather quickly she and several other students went from smoking it at parties to shooting it up at high school. >> like doing it at school in the bathroom. >> a syringe? >> a syringe. i would have it in my purse. all ready to go. >> reporter: jenna morrison has struggled to remain clean for almost three years. she comes from a town that is smaller and more rural than hannah's. jenna says her addiction started with legal opiates. pain pills you can get with a prescription. chemically, they're almost identical to heroin. >> i got on pain pills pretty bad when i was probably between 15 and 16. >> and the heroin came? >> when i was 18. >> was it an easy transition from pain pills to heroin? >> very. because i didn't realize at the time that heroin is an opiate. i didn't know that that was the same thing. as the pills that i was using. >> why are you using all those drugs? >> small town, there was nothing to do.
3:43 am
i was hanging out with older people so that was our way of having fun. partying. >> this is the worst drug epidemic i've seen in my lifetime. >> reporter: mike dewine is the attorney general of ohio. he's a former u.s. senator, congressman, and a county prosecutor. we met him at a state crime lab outside columbus. >> it's in every single county. it's in our cities. it's also in our wealthier suburbs. it's in our small towns. there's no place in ohio where you can hide from it. >> it's that pervasive? >> there's no place in ohio where you couldn't have it delivered to you in 15, 20 minutes. >> i can text and say, hey, do you have this? we can meet, they would bring to it my house, leave it under the mat. it's pretty easy to get. >> full service. >> uh-huh. to me it was easier to get than weed or cocaine, definitely easier.
3:44 am
>> reporter: dealers with connections to the mexican cartels sell heroin everywhere. even in this department store parking lot outside columbus. >> healing coming out of that car right there. >> reporter: our cameras captured the purchase of this heroin by an undercover police informant. >> what is this? >> this is a couple types of heroin that we see. >> reporter: attorney general mike dewine's staffers say the mexican heroin can be cheap. $10 a hit or less. some of it is cut with other drugs that make it even more powerful and deadly. and dealers keep inventing new ways to outwit law enforcement. >> what do you have here? >> these are actually tablets. so they are pressed to look like an actual prescription tablet but they contain heroin. >> heroin in pill form? >> that look like pills, correct. >> this is new? >> very new. we've only seen a few cases in the lab. >> reporter: something else mike dewine says is new since his days as a county prosecutor, heroin has lost its stigma as a poisonous back-alley drug.
3:45 am
>> there's no psychological barrier anymore that stops a young or older person that taking heroin. >> who is the typical heroin user in ohio today? >> anybody watching today. this show. it could be your family. there's no typical person. it just has permeated every segment of society in ohio. >> reporter: even the well to do town of pickerington 30 minutes outside columbus. tyler campbell was a star of the high school football team. he played at university of akron. for tyler heroin wasn't a party drug. his parents, wayne and christie campbell, say his heroin habit grew from his addiction to opiate painkillers, prescribed legally after he injured his shoulder. >> what were the pills? >> it was vicodin. >> 60 vicodin for his shoulder surgery. >> that's a normal prescription? >> for that procedure.
3:46 am
