there was one prisoner, andrew wilson, who was burned against a hot radiator. russian roulette was played. >> at the center of it all, john burns is the face of this dark chapter of chicago's history. >> why were you so tenacious. >> people were going to die, and nobody was doing anything. there were a dozen men on death row who were there on suspect confessions. >> ronald kitchen was one of them. he spent 21 years locked up. 13 of those on death row. but in the wake of mounting torture allegations governor george ryan made an unprecedented decision to clear all 167 of the state's death row inmates. in 2009, after spending half his life behind bars, kitchen was exonerated. but in a cruel twist the woman who believed in that innocence all along would never get to celebrate ronald's freedom. >> well, my mother was and is that's my soldier. so when i come home she has dementia. she has dementia. so now i'm free, now she's locked up, in her head. i go to her house, she couldn't even recognize me. >> bunker was convicted not for the torture itself because the statut

walter: he took a school in my old neighborhood, broadmoor, the andrew wilson school, it had a localharter. it was not doing well. test schools were not good, and you revoke the charter. my brother, who was part of the charter, called me to post rings, and i said you cannot pull strings anymore because you did not shape up fast enough. mr. white: i am glad you did not try to pull my strength. we should have had a conversation -- pull my strength -- string. you can criticize that and it is a problematic process, but the fact is in low-income communities, predominately communities of color, school boards have acted on the side of safe this, rather than action. this is a system responsible to that situation. what is it like being a teacher in such a system? ms. jones: as someone who is a teacher in louisiana before this time, and now have the opportunity to support and here the perspective of constant teachers -- the perspectives of teachers across the system, it feels markedly different. it is not just the last 10 years. what we have to remember is there were teachers and leaders doing

wilson bridge. closer to joint base andrews. that is a look of traffic. we have issues and will look at the vehicle on the parkway. kimberly: we were clearly in denial about the traffic situation. same thing about summer ending. jonathan: meteorologically speaking this is the last day of summer? doug: yes. autumn begins tomorrow. don't confuse with the official seasons astronomical and fall doesn't begin until the 21, 22 of september septemb. but pay attention to this because this could be a final "jeopardy" question if this is a category. look at the cardinal ridge elementary school in centreville. this is the way it was for most of the area. cloudy start to the day. midday skies brighten. the clouds came back. at 3:00, the clouds moved out of the area. now we have the bright blue skies. with that, the southeasterly wind. that is driving the temperatures up. driving the humidity up. on the last day of august this is hot and humid. beautiful sky conditions. since we are wrapping up the month of august, we are in the books with 1.16 inches of rain. that is

it's michael andrew sure, if i'm going to be at ronald reagan wilson library. inside this very serious speech, jed bush is trying to do something that ronald reagan may have done when he talked of the evil empire, his brother george w. bush talked of the access of evil. he's talking about radical islam, and the politics of fear. it's in the republican handbook that works well. he's disanlsing himself not from his brother and father. he's distancing himself from foreign policy in america and is labelling that that is a political tactic that worked well in the past. >> he's very pointed in criticism of the obama administration policy and will get to former secretary of state hillary clinton later in the speech. >> that's right, he'll talk about obama and clinton, as a team of rivals. they ran against each other in 2008, and that team ended up being a team that did not make peace. they wanted to be history makers, and did not end up being peace makers. that's what he tried to do. appointing hillary clinton the nominee into the speech so he could stand apart from h
