patrick peacock...and chris rittenmeyer both had extensive cave diving experience. a while the other two made their way down... but they never came back up. after 4 hours... their friend called for help. but rescue divers couldn't find the men until early yesterday morning. they recovered their bodies ... 260 feet below the surface. what went wrong still isn't clear. at least half a dozen other people have also died in that same cave. accused of trying to kill george zimmerman... gets 20 years in prison. once again... the court system sided with the former neigborhood watchman. and it turns out... the courtroom where yesterday's sentencing took place... was the same one where zimmerman was acquitted 3 years ago. zimmerman was found not guilty in the shooting death of trayvon martin. now 3 years later he's on the other side of the courtroom. during apperson's appeal... zimmerman went before the judge asking her to keep him behind bars. he says being back in courtroom 5-d was strange. meanwhile-- the judge ordered apperson to be held in jail during the appeals process
