last year, long landed a job as a guard here at the metro mall in downtown atlanta, an area surroundedy government buildings. that means the mall should be packed with shoppers, but they've been driven away by the rampant crime in the neighborhood. basically, the clientele of this mall were some of the toughest people in town. >> all kinds of stuff going on down there. when i first got there, it was damn near open air drug market. that's how easy i could spot people doing things. >> reporter: even though the job only paid 500 bucks a week, long came in kitted out more like robo-cop than a mall cop. walk me through the inventory of what you have on you. >> uh, smith and wesson nine millimeter. this is a 16-inch asp baton, very good thing. this is the taser x-3. >> reporter: and a tactical vest. >> yeah, with a gopro on it, which is probably the most valuable tool in the arsenal. the gopro camera. >> reporter: long wore the camera to document his encounters in the mall. much of his time was spent keeping the peace by breaking up fights, or helping settle customer disputes. >> reporter: b

. >> we have a special privilege, al jazeera america does to be at the king site at downtown atlantahere martin luther king and his wife are buried behind me. june 27th, 1990, nelson mandela at the tail end of his american tour stopped here in atlanta. some of the first things he said when he got off the plane is it reminded him because of his home town of south africa, because of the landscape and warmth. it was a hot day. it was a whirl wind tour around the state of georgia, as he was escorted in a bulletproof limousine and brought out at three locations, morehouse college being one, where he was made an honorary morehouse man. after that, as you can see, the cameraman can zoom in, he was brought to this site where martin luther king is buried. nelson mandela lay a wreath. he was with his wife. he was put back into his limousine, stepped into the camera and brought to georgia tech's football stadium where 50,000 plus were in the stands waiting for him. one of our producers was there as a civilian, describing it being louder than anyone could imagine. it was an electric scene. it to

. >> yes, john, it's an honour to be at the king center in downtown atlanta. over my shoulder is the crypt where martin luther king is buried next to core eta scott king, his wife. >> the first stop on nelson mandela's world win tour when he landed in georgia was here at the king center, going to the crypt where martin luther king was buried. he and his wife went across the pond to the burial site and placed a wreath at the base. briefly after that he met with martin luther king's wife for about half an hour. he was escorted into a limousine and carted around the city where he became an honorary man at morehouse men's college and ended the day at georgia tech football stadium where 50,000 plus people waited for him to come in, he was an hour late. he couldn't speak for 15 minutes. during that speech he made references to king and talked about how he wanted freedom for everyone, south africans. basically the reason for him coming here he wanted to pay whommage to king, and where it began as far as rites in the united states. the two powerhouses, one lying in th

we're 310 feet below grade, deep under atlanta in hard rock. in the downtown area of atlanta, the sewer system and the stormwater system are combined and there are overflows during storm events, and so the purpose of this system is to relieve that flow, take it into the tunnel, transport it to a brand-new treatment plant, clean up the chattahoochee river. narrator: instead of the combined sewage overflowing into the river, it will flow into this tunnel that acts as a storage tank. the water will then slowly empty into the new plant for treatment before it's released back into the river. man: the system in total is about 8 1/2 miles, 27 feet in diameter. most of the time it will be dry. the only time it will fill is when the sewer system is overwhelmed by the storm. it is a massive project. our budget was $210 million. we've worked about a million and a half man-hours. hunter: it is an incredible amount of work. our capital program right now is $3.9 billion. over a period of less than 10 years. franklin: so it's very expensive. the bottom line is, we, as atlant

it was on luckie and forsyth street in downtown atlanta. >> so at the trial you said that you were inntil 10:00 p.m. you were so sick that your mother said she had to help lie your body out on the bed you were so sick. >> this is where the confusion with all of us came in. i got back from hotlanta records probably about 9:00, 9:30. >> but there's no one to corroborate that, even if his mother were still alive. wayne said she probably didn't see him come in. prosecutor jack mallard. >> he was out that night, no question in my mind. he was not at home. he was out and about. >> less than six hours after henry said he saw williams and cater here, police heard a splash under this bridge. cater's body washed up downstream two days later. 30 years ago, there was no dna testing. now there is. and so new evidence. remember those two human hairs found inside 11-year-old patrick baltazar's shirt? in 2007, the hair fragments were sent to the fbi's dna laboratory in quantico, virginia. the result? the lab said it found this dna sequence in only 29 out of more than 1,100 samples of african-american

but the argument by -- by atlanta's mayor was that otherwise, if it stayed in the city, just south of downtownations, in development around the area, and that cobb county could better afford that than the city of atlanta. what do you say to that argument? >> what i say to that argument is that the braves have a right to move wherever they wish to move, as long as it's paid for with private funds. they have $400 million that they have pledged to develop the area around the stadium. why are they not using that $400 million to build the stadium and give the taxpayers a break? it is the government picking winners and losers. they're using public funds, the taxpayer will get the shaft in this, and the political cronies who are well connected stand to make millions of dollars off of this deal. they deliberately arranged and did creative financing, which there are groups that will be challenging this, and will be filing a lawsuit to challenge the legality of this. it was done the wrong way. >> debbie, if the -- if the cobb county commissioner released documents about how they reached this decision, w
