prosecutors knew why ackley killed his mother-in-law arlene. what they couldn't figure out is why he killed his childhood friend, stephanie. >>> prosecutors believe that gary ackley killed arlene jensen out of anger. he wanted revenge for what he believed was her meddling in the way he raised her grandchildren. and the way he treated her daughter. >> the offensive thing about stereotypes, i think most people would agree, is that they're oftentimes true. but i will say that one stereotype that i think gary ackley is a perfect example of is a domestically violent woman abusing killer. >> prosecutors believe ackley had access to arlene's apartment key and used it to enter her home late one night after she was in bed. the autopsy results aren't clear about how he killed arlene, but the evidence suggests she was killed while in bed. metal fragments dropped from ackley's clothes on to the sheets, fragments he couldn't see. he stayed in arlene's apartment long enough to smoke two cigarettes and wash his hands. then he hid the blood-stained sheets with

fingers crossed for arlen. let's check in now at laguardia airport in new york where cnn's rosa flores is. a lot of delays over the course of the day there, rosa. >> you're absolutely right. those delays have been growing as the day has been progressing. now, i want to show you some pictures because one of our cnn colleagues is actually going from new york to atlanta, and this is what she saw. not only gates being changed last minute but then once she was on the plane, then, of course, delays there as well. if we look at the bigger picture, about 1400 flights delayed around the u.s. and when you talk about delays, hear this. i'm going to give you the latest number. 6,000 delays. and by far laguardia is not the worst airport. you can see on a misery map, which we always like to check on flight aware.com, ahead of us are two airports, laguardia is at number three right now. number one is charlotte international in north carolina, and then chicago o'hare. the good news is, of course, as the day progresses, also pe

all of a sudden arlen specter has a major problem.ne mayer, writes a wire story about the uncounted shot appeared for three weeks, jay edgar herbert tries to say there was no shot. what are you talking about. the ready cut out the piece of the curve that has the evidence. so not arlen specter has a giant problem and therefore is worn with the first that has occurred. the second hits kennedy, case closed. nonsense. kennedy is at the front the first time. there's multiple shooters without question. he said for the front-end app without question. you can't get a three shot with this rifle. the army couldn't duplicate it. nobody could duplicate it. the rifle was not inside it. those of you who are firearms experts, you understand the scope is no good. it had been properly cited. so it is an absurd notion. the government goes for huge gyrations to say that he was shot simply from behind. her team doctors and nurses say they see a hole in the back of his head the size of a grapefruit. the doctors in bethesda say that's not what they say lat

arlene love and mary clayton are two of the performer singled out in a new documentary titled 20 feet from stardom nominated for an academy award. the film is not to be missed, chronicles the risks and rewards spent mostly in the background providing musical support for stars like staying home of bruce springsteen, stevie wonder, and the rolling stones. merryersation with clayton and darlene love coming up, right now. >> and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. tavis: they are the unsung sheroes of the musical season. a great stage or recorded studio, they belonged to darlene love and marry claim that backed up a performance by staying, the rolling stones, and they are justifiably getting their due. courtesy of a new oscar nominated documentary i fell in love with called 20 feet from stardom. just released now on dvd, it celebrates their career. >> i felt like if i just gave my heart to what i was doing, i would automatically be a star. >> i started cleaning house. there is a world out there that wants to hear you saying. >> they stayed in the game an

in a bitter irony, the couple asked arlene allen, adrienne's mother, to be part of the wedding with ceremonynever suspected eric was the killer. in december of 2006, eric koppel pleaded guilty to two counts of first degree murder. he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. had he not pled guilty, koppel would have been eligible for the death penalty. >> and i think that was a very real possibility, accepting a life without possibility of parole plea was probably the best deal he was going to get. >> were it not for a few drops of blood, two cigarette butts and some skin cells on a rubber band, eric koppel might have gotten away with murder. but ever advancing dna technology provided a profile so accurate it was only a matter of time before he was exposed as the killer. >> this case turned on those cigarette butts. >> things that would have not been considered 20 years ago as evidence are very crucial to cases nowadays. and again, the sensitivity of these testing analysis, dna, it's just incredible what we can find in crime scenes now. >> every homicide that you see, there's always a

>>> good evening, my name is arlene drummer. i was on welfare. i went from welfare to the san francisco police department and that is all because of troy and the department. along with sample, james norman. these guys spent every week training us to take the test. we had to take the physical and we ran and they even gave up on us. we had to climb the wall. we did that and he did an excellent job because i became a police officer and i'm retired. so i am just so grateful to them that they took time out to see and help others and become a police officer. he did such a wonderful job. i couldn't say anything when they did the ceremony for him a couple months ago. you know sometimes you wait till people die to say nice things. i want to let him know that i will always be grateful for the time that you took out. if you want to know a minority recruitment, talk to troy. bring him back. they are having a hard time getting women and black and whatever in, talk to troy. they did it. they did a job well. i love you and i will always be grateful for what you

arlenes florist in washington, a florist being sued by the state of washington for refusing to providewers to a same sex wedding ceremony has had gay and lesbian employees and served gay and lesbian clients, their refusal was the concept of marriage. >> we're just about out of time. should be be able to serve if you own a business? >> this is the same argument that was made over 60 years ago about black people and marriage. so you know, does chris take the position that if an individual's religious belief that black people are less than human as many people seemed to believe about lesbian, gay and transgender people. >> i'm going to take that as a no. it's a yes or no question, i'll take that as a no. my guests, thank you all for being with me today. that brings us to the end of this edition of "inside story." thanks for being with us. in washington, i'm ray suarez. >> i called it a ticking time epidemic. sherman. >> he twerked his way into the national consciousness, taking a page out of miley cyrus's book. >> when you started off the term super agent didn't exist. if you think about

just look around the country, chris christie was a prosecutor, and arlen specter was, and it's not hard to find these guys. you get to the position where your name is out in the public, if you want to work for something as a senator or u.s. congressperson, the people are going to know who you are. you find very ambitious people going after these jobs, and certainly at the federal level, we're all appointed by the president of the united states. can i just jump in? you just mentioned chris christie, and that brings up a coppic that i wrote about in the wall street journal recently. he was a u.s. attorney in new jersey, and he was a hard nosed guy, and he went after a lot of people, including people who had no reason to think that they broke the law, and now his administration is under federal criminal investigation by his successor because of the thought that maybe this bridgegate scandal would be stopping the traffic in fort lee with a phoney highway traffic study, maybe that violated some federal law, and now they're being investigated. you live by the sword, you die by the sword, but

. >> reporter: pressure from arlene goldstein's community coalition was instrumental in bringing narcan to quincy. >> we can train someone to use naloxone in 20 minutes. isn't a life worth 20 minutes? >> reporter: not only is it simple to use. >> this just goes up here. this just screws on here. that's it, done. >> reporter: it's inexpensive. the cost? just $22 a dose and those who are revived will not face charges. >> at the end of the day a life is a life. >> reporter: quincy's success with narcan has drawn national attention. it's made police departments across the country consider arming their officers with the drug and left families whose loved ones have been brought back from the dead grateful. >> i think it's a lifesaver. >> reporter: in quincy, massachusetts, andrea mccarren, wusa9. >> families of addicts and other residents of quincy can now be trained and get prescriptions to carry narcan so they, too, can save a life if the need arises. critics question whether the drug might encourage addicts to keep using. >>> always watching always tracking wusa9 first alert weather. >> pr

political magazine looks at the issue in a new arlen titled americans, top worrying and learn to love decline, why 2014 will be our best year yet. charles kenny wrote the piece and joins us. he's a senior fellow at the center for global development and author of a book. good to have you with us. there's real data saying that america is not the dominating force it once was. saying china will overtake us but you say that's a sign that the rest of the world is coming up. >> absolutely, so just last year, for example, china became the largest trading nation in the world overtaking the united states. that's just sort the first of many firsts to come, if you will. that's not bad news for the united states. it's not because the united states hasn't even growing exports in recent years. it's done quite on that weather. it's that china's been growing very, very fast. india's been growing fast and brazil. the rest of the world is getting richer, fewer poor people, more educated people living longer lives and producing good that is we want to buy and producing demands for goods we want to sell.

arlene is calling from trenton, michigan. i wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that i was at thego mayo clinic in rochester and told everyone in michigan that if the example was set by the mayo clinic by every hospital and every doctors organization in this country, we would have much healthier people living here. i am quite cynical of the medical profession. i have to say the courtesy and while myposition friend was finally being diagnosed with fibromyalgia -- i think everyone should take the opportunity to walk through the place and see how it was. i accompanied her on those appointments and they were met to the minute. thehe diagnosis was made, treatment was given, and five days later her disability was accepted and approved first time out. i cannot say enough about it. it is too bad every medical facility does not practice they owe's particle -- mayo's medical practices. that means a great deal to us. we can always do better. if we try every day to do better. we appreciate those comments. a tweet -- guest: i thin

president obama's health care plan swamped town halls across the country, including this one by the late arlen want to be led out of here, you're welcome to go. now, wait a minute. now wait a minute. now wait a minute. wait a minute -- >> in 2010 scott brown pulled off an earth shattering upset winning the senate seat held by ted kennedy. and the tea party darling rand paul, not actually related to rupaul, won his seat in the senate in kentucky but arguably the tea party with the most impact, ted cruz, swept into office in 2012 and led the shutdown over obamacare last year. joining us now is james peterson and tara dardel who just told me it's tara like in gone with the wind, not tara. the tea party did face the change of congress going back to 2010. we're still feeling the impact of its influence today and do you think it's enough to swing the midterms coming up? >> i think primecy is the key word. their relevance will be in the primary elections in which they can produce candidates. that kind of remains to be seen. their legislative impact may be waining or may have peaked once they got behi

once you've run, it seems like you go back and run again, whether you're vance harkey, arlen specter,you ran. governor when you were 23 years old and lost and came back and won the thing big-time. you must have kept your eyes on it and it seems to me mitt romney's eyes are on the presidency. your thoughts? >> yeah, i think the previous analysis is right. i think mitt romney probably down deep would love to have another shot, but the best strategy for him is to wait and see and to see if everybody implodes. i think the ball, assuming governor christie's out, and i think that's fairly likely, the ball goes to jeb bush. if jeb bush steps up, i think he, then, becomes the moderate in the race. and he's running against some extreme conservatives and i think the moderate end of the race has a very good chance to win. if jeb decides not to run, as you think, chris, there's a huge gap. maybe a scott walker gets in. scott walker compared to mitt romney in ability to raise money, national profile, isn't close. if jeb bush takes a pass with christie imploding, i think there's a very good chance

they're not willing to, as arlen specter said, stipulate.hey're not willing to stipulate that he is president. >> there is no stipulation of legitimacy to the obama presidency. and for various reasons. >> okay. explain the syndrome. you do satire. what is the obama derangement syndrome? >> it's the idea we're no longer engaged in political debate, that this guy is outside of the political system. if you say you're a criminal, you're lawless, you're outside of the system, you were probably born in kenya, and i'm not engaging with you. you're wrong. it's a way of just shutting it off. >> and also a denial of the fact that the american people elected him twice to be president. >> oh, you fell for that. oh, gee. you fell for that. >> i have a videotape. it happened. >> that's just a theory like trying to change and evolution. thank you, dana milbank. only here can we have this fun. thank you, dana milbank. thank you, eugene robinson. >>> think hillary is a shoo-in 2016? top obama people are out there warning hillary may be repeating the same mis

the only republican senator who would ever join me was arlen specter of pennsylvania who ultimately changed political parties on me -- i shouldn't say not on me but changed political parties and then i didn't have bipartisan sponsorship. but the point i'm getting to is this should be a bipartisan issue. i have no doubt that in a limited campaign with limited expenditures, i'd still have enough money to get my message out in illinois and i'm sure my opponent would too. that would be a godsend in sparing me and whoever from raising a lot of money and a relief to the voters who get sick and tired of the political advertising that swamps the screens in the closing days of a campaign. fair elections now is an effort to move in that direction. it's a new concept but it's one we should look at honestly. we can clean up the election campaigns in america. we can be responsive to the needs of our constituents. we can further the goals of our democracy and do it in a fashion that is affordable and allows mere mortals to compete. madam president, i yield the floor. and suggest the absence of a quorum.
