only at sears. >> reporter: no one seemed to know where lesley herring was. lyle had been seen, but wasn't returning anyone's calls, not even those from the lapd. had lesley simply left her husband without a word to anyone? it seemed unlikely. but then, her sister aasha was still in the process of learning about lesley's marriage. how bad it was. how unhappy lesley was. things lesley was apparently telling only their mother. >> the thing about my sister is i think she really wanted people to believe that she had it all together. so she would -- wouldn't tell us about the problems that she was having with lyle. >> she'd always taken care of you. you're on tv. and doing great. and maybe she thought, "you know what? i'm not -- i'm not gonna break aasha's concentration for a minute." >> oh, definitely. it -- yeah. out of protection. a little bit of pride. >> reporter: so perhaps lesley was still alive somewhere, and just keeping her head down. it's what vivian was hoping. >> i believed that lesley would come home. i went to sleep every night and imagined i could

. >> i wish that we weren't showing that video of lesley and her husband being so upset that night. you know, you can't understand how you would act if you have lost your son, and then you have been disrespected and disrespect and disrespected even though in my opinion the law is what the law is and the evidence showed unfortunately, for the brown family, what it showed is that the police officer's version is likely what happened. >> i think it was the aftermath of everything, and in thick of it after the decision came down, and the mother that we have been following and watching very, very closely and the emotions, and then sunny asking about it in context and appropriate to play, but i hear you mel robins, thank you so much, and i appreciate it. make sure you watch. we played you 3 1/2 minutes worth, but there is a lot more of sunny hostin talking to michael brown's parents, and there is so much more to see on cnn tonight at 8:00 only on cnn. and nancy grace says that something does not add up about darren wilson's story. and something about the feeling like a 5-year-old against s

yesterday his mother, lesley mcspadden broke down during her testimony before the u.n. committee. the very same committee that's asking questions of u.s. delegates today, part of a broader review, a look at the u.s. compliance with the u.n. convention against torture. today there were some ferguson-specific questions, the panel of some eight independent experts asked the following. they asked about steps taken by federal and state governments to review police practices following the death of michael brown. they also asked about steps taken to review the distribution of military equipment to local police forces and police practices regarding the use of that equipment, possible reference to the police response to the protests that followed michael brown's death and they also asked what sort of independent oversight is in place to prevent excessive force by police in the united states. now, tomorrow, the united states will have a chance to respond to these questions. the parents of michael brown will be there for that as well. i had a chance to chat with them yesterday and they told

lesley, morgan steiner is a leading advocate for victims of domestic violence. her memoire relates her time with an abusive husband. let me ask about what happened to you. you say your husband punched you, threw you down the stairs, held a gun to your head many times, and it took five years for you to speak out about it. can't you help us understand why? >> well, the first thing to do is put yourself in the victim's shoes. domestic violence and rape - especially rape by someone you know and trust are among the worst physical and psychological betrails you can go. the natural response is to deny that it had happened. deny it to yourself, to pretend that it wasn't as bad as it was, or to say that you had something to do with it. maybe it was consensual. it is normal psychologically for it to take days, weeks, years, decades for a victim to understand that she was assaulted. it was really hard for people who were not victims, but it's the truth. it's normal to report rape. >> how do victims figure into had. in this case, we don't know and may never no. the common thing

lesley the honors to others. talk about grace kelly not a lady from monaco. as admiring a woman who sticks with her husband matter what. for conversations he did not want to go gore would turn to humor because it was the escape route for not going into the dark corners. >> how do you think his age affected his presidency? >> i don't know the answer. you have to ask others. i was there to do the things i wanted to do for if i was a specialist for policy to put together a policy but i left in 1983. he was very hearty but during the second administration but i am pleased i wrote about the fact not what i believe. >> in the first administration after he went into a trading after the assassination attempt. is in your '70's that is not a small accomplishment. thank you for this special look it is very fact based in interesting focus on life the we don't often see clearly in thank you again to join us.

don, to answer your question again, lesley mcspadden's initial reaction caught on videotape after the devastating news that the killer of her child was not going to be brought to justice was overwhelming to her. she and the ferguson community understands that we all have a responsibility to protect the community. michael brown sr. is here speaking on behalf of his family and you saw his p.s.a. where he continued to ask for calm. that's one of the reasons why he is not speaking today. you want to use the raw emotion of a family that has been devastated once by seeing their child dead on the ground and then getting the devastating news of a prosecutor who was supposed to go and represent people like michael brown but accused michael brown. so that's the raw emotion of it. and we tried to move on, focused on the cause of saying, nobody is going to condone violence. and we're going to reject it. as reverend al said, people who do that stuff, it's not appropriate. michael said it so eloquently asking for peace and calm. we'll move on. >> did you ever get a sense from the prosecutor as to what the votes were? what's the prosecuto

lesley mcspadden's immediate reaction caught on video following the grand jury announcement was borne out of desperation and was a result of the epitome of frustration that the killer of her son would not be brought to justice. as a ferguson resident, she understands the need for healing in the community and wants to be a positive catalyst for change. that said, those comments are pretty inflammatory. and parts of this city went up in flames last night and the livelihoods of residents in this city up in smoke, gone. that's the question, how can that be explained -- if it can be explained at all. we witnessed a lot of that chaos. hang on. the press conference is actually starting, chris. they're getting ready. the speakers are coming. the list of speakers, lesley mcfadden, the reverend al sharpton, anthony gray, attorney, michael brown sr., all coming up to the podium right now to speak. >> we see the reverend al sharpton getting ready as the media gets situated. be interesting to see what the message is coming off last night because while the perception in this community is that something bad has been done to them, the question is what are they going to do for themselves.

[applause] >> conventionally we think of opportunity like this. this is where i went to high school and it is known for its academic rigor, structure and obvious opportunity but what was really interesting about my experience is that it wasn't really the same when i got my 16-year-old self out of bed, it was not the thing that got me excited or passionate and in fact i did not relate to the opportunity offered here at all. instead what created a culture of achievement in me was not academics at all. it was figure skating. growing up i was a competitive figure skating and that was the thing that taught me dedication, passion, purpose and confidence. that was the thing that got me out of bed in the morning, nothing to do with academics. notable what funny a true passion felt like but a self driven sense of motivatio
