running back ray rice knocking out his fiancee, now wife, janay palmer, in a casino elevator last february. >> any man that hits a woman should, you know, have to suffer for their consequences. >> reporter: monday, the consequences were swift and severe for rice. his reported $40 million contract terminated by the baltimore ravens. >> when someone you care about does wrong, you know, and is faced with the consequences of doing wrong and rightfully so, it is tough. it is hurtful. >> reporter: rice has been suspended indefinitely by the nfl. the league also released a brief written statement saying we requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator. that video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today. still, for some, that's not enough to explain why rice initially received just a two-game suspension. >> well, everything about it was wrong. the entire thing stunk. it was an embarrassment to the team, it was an embarrassment to the nfl. >> reporter: and frustrating for fans who spoke o

it was a february assault on his fiance now wife janay palmer. the footage from inside the elevator shows the actual punch that knocked her unconscious. >> the team and the look say they haven't seen that part of the footage before monday but tmz sports reports that the league never did ask the casino nor police for the video. >> as hard that has video is to watch, the victim, janay palmer, is lashing out at the media and the public. she is really railing against his firing by the ravens and the indefinite suspension by the nfl. she took to instagram this morning writing "i woke up this morning feeling like i had a horrible nightmare, feeling like i'm mourning the death of my closest friend have to accept the fact that it's reality. that is a nightmare in itself. no one knows the pain the media and unwanted options from the public have caused my family to make us relive a moment in our lives that regreat everyday is a horrible thing. to take something away from the man i love that he has worked his ass off all his life is horrific." >> "this is o

the team released rice on monday after tmz sports released the video of rise hitting janay palmer who wife. before the tape was released rice had been suspended for only two games. goodell insists he did not see the tape until two days ago. >> reporter: did anyone in the nfl see the second videotape before monday? >> no. >> reporter: no one in the nfl? >> no one in the nfl to my knowledge. >> janay palmer who is now janay rice has blamed the media for the couple's troubles and says barring her husband from playing football was a horrific move. >> time to turn and talk about accuweather last night. it felt like san francisco. >> it was. it was cool, breezy a-little cloudy and today we're going to wind up with more sunshine. storm tracker 6 live double scan. >> no rise-a-roni. >> no, matt. we're bright along the horizon overhead getting rid of some clouds that formed overnight. 68 degrees is your current temperature in philadelphia. your dewpoint is at 56 so an indication of not all that humid air. winds out of the northeast at seven. the winds won't be as strong today as yesterday. sat

that video graphically shows rice knocking out his then fiance janay palmer. he said before monday he gave him the beb of the doubt, both on the police report that charge ed them with misdemeanors. >> i picked her wailing on him. why did i conclude that, because i wanted to, he had a stellar record, the cops had seen the video, i assumed it wasn't a forceful blow. >> he said he now regrets the assumption that he made. >> happening today, city council meets for the first time since the summer break. council members are expected to take up a petition calling for an end to the school reform commission. critics of the five member commission reported by the governor and the mayor want local control of public schools. council could vote upon a special referendum to takes place at a later date. council is expected to discuss the sale of the pg with. in the coming days. >> we're expecting stormy weather. >> reporter: we're expecting stormy weather producing drenching downpours. let's look live at storm tracker 6 live double scan. there's nothing more than a sprinkle u

if the nfl has been truthful about when it first saw the tape of ray rice punching his fiance, janay palmer. a source says he sent a copy of this video to a nfl executive back in april and heard a voice male from april 9th, confirming that the video had indeed arrives and a female voice saying you are right it's terrible. >> commissioner, roger goodell said that no one to his knowledge saw it until it was posted online on monday and said the nfl was asked for a video but were never granted an opportunity. after seein

we originally saw the video -- or after when he's dragging janay palmer outside of the elevator. so, i think that's the question on every single nfl fan's mind. i think it's very unlikely that the average semi-educated nfl fan that watches football every week and knows roger goodell is buying this story, guys, that they didn't have access to it. because, to me, it's almost as anine -- >> he has to -- >> tmz is saying they didn't ask the casino for it and saying, we would have given it to them. i don't know what they're thinking about. another part of all this, janay talking today, saying that, you know, the media is damaging her to get ratings. and, you know, it is -- it is horrible to have this replayed again throughout america and have her relive this nightmare that she is struggling to deal with. i think it is valuable, as an instructive lesson to young men, this is what happens when you hit a woman. this is how horrible it is when you hit a woman. there's no excuse for hitting a woman. you still get an aargument among -- what if she's attacking you? no, there's no excuse. wha

it shows rice punching janay palmer, then his fiance, now his wife.e punched her, as you can see right there. this was in an elevator. this happened back in february. he knocked her out cold. then instead of getting help, he dragged her unconscious body into a hotel lobby. the white house released a statement tonight saying the president is the father of two daughters and like any american he believes that domestic violence is contemptible and unacceptable in a civilized society. hitting a woman is not something a real man does and that's true whether or not an act of violence happens in the public eye or, far too often, behind closed doors. stopping domestic violence is something that's bigger than football and all of us have a responsibility to put a stop to it. so how do we do it? we're joined by judge greg mathis, host of "judge mathis" now in its 16th season. judge, great to have you here. >> thanks for having me. >> now that the full picture has come to light of what happened inside that elevator, can't police charge him with a crime and can't h

they had a disciplinary hearing, ray rice, janay palmer attended that hearing. they could have said, we want all possible evidence, including a tape of what happened inside the elevator. now, if ray rice had refused that request, the nfl could have either, a, tried other means to get that or they could have held that somehow against ray rice in the decision that was made to suspend him for two games. they certainly have the ability to put pressure, to do more than it seems they did to get that tape. and, again, i think that's an issue that people are struggling with today. but, you know, the other issue a lot of people are asking is, did they really need the tape? i mean, was that tape really a surprise at the end of the day? did we need to see the tape to know essentially that what happened inside the elevator was a horrible, horrible incident? >> rob, stay with us. joining us now, i'm going to bring in shauna thomas, founder of a women's right group, and roman obin is a former nfl player. we just got new information in. ray rice actually made brief comments to
