after more than five years, kathy hutchinson has been disconnected from the computer, as planned, but she's let the researchers know she'd like to continue helping with their work. the trial of george zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murdering trayvon martin, is still months away, but we've been continuing our investigation of the case and mark strassmann has come up with new information about what happened that february night when zimmerman shot the unarmed teenager in a gated community in sanford, florida. >> reporter: at the heart of this case is what happened in 90 seconds. from the moment george zimmerman hung up with a nonemergency dispatcher to the first 911 call from a neighborhood. >> i think they're yelling "help" but i don't know. >> reporter: today, new details emerged from sources close to the investigation. a responder at the crime scene told us he and others saw wounds on the knuckles of one of martin's hands as he laid dead on the lawn suggesting martin had thrown a punch. zimmerman told police he fired the fatal shot at point blank range while

max hutchinson gallery was showing the painting called "new bride," and the price was like $50,000 oromething. now, there is a guy, melzack, he was a collector, and he said to me, "i want to buy that painting 'new bride,' but i'm not going to have anything to do with max." so this guy who had a store on grant street says, "i have this building which had been a synagogue, "and i want you to have it for a studio. i know you need a studio." so i said, "well, i would like to have it, but i don't know if i have the money." he said, "i'm going to give it to you for practically nothing." so i said, "how much?" and he told me, i think, $40,000, $45,000 for that building. so i called up melzack in washington. i said, "i need $40,000. "do you really want that painting? i'll get it from max." melzack said, "well, milton, i don't know whether i can afford to buy a painting now." so i said, "okay," and i went to paint, and while i was painting, the telephone rang. and i said, "that's melzack, i know it is." so i got on the phone. he says, "i'll give you $30,000." so i says, "okay," and i bought th

one-- 58-year-old quadraplegic cathy hutchinson-- was able to direct a mechanical arm to pick up a bottle of coffee and bring it to her lips. it was the first time she'd been able to drink without assistance neay 15 years. the so-called "braingate" system relies on a sensor of electrodes implanted in the motor cortex of the brain, which controls movement. simply put, the patient's thoughts are relayed from the sensor to a computer, which sends instructions to the robotic arm. in brain-gate's previous breakthrough six years ago, the patient was able to move a computer cursor through his thoughts. for more on all this, we turn to doctor lgh hochbg, a crical care urologist at massachusetts general hospital. he's co-director of the braingate research team, which includes brown university and the department of veterans affairs, among others. with us. how big an advance is this this in the sort-long-term goal of trying to restore movement to patients who are paralyzed? >> i think that this is a nice and important step in the field that's evolving a we tryfor people who arenab to mo their arms o

kathy hutchinson is paralyzed from the neck down she is unable to speak of her spring is completely aware. researchers place the sensor with 100 electrodes on her brain to pick up the signals created when we think about moving. it over the course of five years scientists and doctors connected that sensor to robotic arm. then came the big test. >>> we said ok you cannot have your morning coffee but you have to serve yourself for the first time in almost 15 years. when she grabbed the copper all breathless. to be able to watch your reach out and pick that up and see a smile on her face as it is to get that it's a magical moment for all this. >>> that moment was five years in the making unbelievable kathy has been disconnected from the computer as planned but she has led to the researchers know that she wants to continue helping with the research. the lakers blew a lead leave the casino and is the founder we may have a better team in l.a. and the defense is the problem in more ways than one. perhaps probably, the giants and colonels were both much as their best hitters kalispell tyrannosaur

from ation about about vladimir putin well mr mr hutchinson has admitted in one of his previous interviews that that the sources were so good that as early as in two thousand and five you chris knew that putin would step down as president in two thousand and eight and then would become prime minister and return to the kremlin in two thousand and twelve now later mr hutchings also said that he had so much to tell which was not told before because people he interviewed worse care and so what information have you have you discovered what were the people that you interviewed can you tell us of the wherry lives yes it was a very wide selection of people i learned that he was going to step down in two thousand and eight and become president again in two thousand and twelve in two thousand and six in a london square from a man who is very close to him and remains very close to him and called me a few minutes before this interview which you toward me. well what i said but he has given me a lot of information which i believe came from mr putin himself but when you ask about the sources i went far a

a lot of people say this can't be done, but i've got senator rockefeller and i've got senator hutchinson over there, and we had 17 extensions before i became the chair of the committee some 14 months ago, and we did an faa bill. it wasn't what everybody wanted. everyone would have done it a little bit differently, but we got it done, and it is the law of the land. the president signed that on the 14th. so i think this can be done, and i think it's important that we do get it done. there are millions and millions of americans who don't have jobs, particularly in the hard-hit construction industry. but while we all share a commitment to build our nation's infrastructure. i think we've got to really focus on what is in the transportation bill, fanned it does get the job done. i think in order to achieve that goal, and it is an important goal for people without a job, or crumbling infrastructure for this country that we include some serious reforms. you can't just continue to throw money at problems. they tried that in the stimulus bill. 2 1/2 years after they passed the infrastructure bill

. >> thank you, senator hutchinson. senator kerry? >> thank you, mr. chairman. obviously the technology -- in a lot of the things that people have a choice on. there are really only two wireless providers. 96% of americans have a choice so my question to you is how would you say the law has, in fact, either encouraged or discouraged competition in the best sense of the word in terms of number numbers and so forth? >> first, i am hearing from speakers today that it is a core feature part of the market system and the best as far as job creation and consumer benefits. competition has always been an issue in the communication space. since 1996, we have more competition than we did before, and that's good. we hear from many stake holders in the space, smaller companies that are trying to compete, that they have real concerns about

drugs played a role in the incarceration of 29-year-old chris hutchinson, but he was on the supply sidees made headlines. >> so you were a drug dealer? >> a drug dealer, aye. a wee bit. >> but hutchison was a drug dealer with a sadistic streak. he's serving a 25 to life sentence for two murders, attempted murder, kidnapping and torture. >> how did those two people die? >> one fell off a bridge and the other one died. >> one fell off a bridge. would that be an accident? >> aye. >> what happened? >> fell off a bridge. >> were you there when he fell off the bridge? >> aye. >> how'd the other one die? >> the other one just died, didn't he? he choked. >> on his food? >> no. >> so basically you threw somebody off a bridge and you choked somebody to death. >> aye. >> chris was very flippant when describing his crimes. he seemed to take them very casually. and he had this odd habit, when there was a break in the interview, of sort of half singing a song and belching. ♪ >> but as we probed deeper into his crimes, we soon learned that hutchison's murder victims were not the only ones who suffered

kind of think that one thing that may have happened was that an officer in a rural town called hutchinson was encouraged to step forward and talk to his police chief about being a state trooper handing out marijuana to the subject and as soon as that happened there is police chief talked to the you know the state level department of public safety they started having official investigation they had to announce it and that finally got the local media rolling on the whole thing and then our local daily the star tribune came and basically took credit for getting you know one of the troopers suspended because they had found out a trooper his name from one of the deal participants so all these things really started rolling the program's been suspended and it was really cool to see that people evolve with occupy and you know kind of related activists movements around town are really pushing things forward labor unions and others were occupying two intersections on nicollet mall late last week and when the cops are coming in with paddy wagon thing we're going to arrest you all everybody just star
