his wife, melanie.zioso: melanie mcguire had purchased a gun in pennsylvania two days before bill went missing, and what she had purchased was a .38-caliber taurus special revolver. narrator: melanie said she bought the .38 caliber because bill told her to. he wanted some extra protection when they moved into the new house. and melanie, a killer? no one who knew her was buying it. she was a highly respected reproductive nurse with no criminal history. from all reports, she was a wonderful nurse. higgins: she seemed to have been very popular where she worked. she was very efficient. people liked her. narrator: melanie denied having anything to do with her husband's murder, but this was the same melanie who intimated bill might have a gambling problem, which wasn't exactly true. and she said they had a horrific fight the day he disappeared. was this also false? melanie's work as a nurse also presented a possible tie to the murder. serrano: and there was the hospital blanket found wrapped around william mc

so i think it's appropriate model, right, melanie, do you agree with that? but a coalition government would be better suited to the type of south africa that exist today in ferry, i do in practice as i'm concerned about it. you know, it is too that the vast majority of local authorities have been successful in collisions, but those have been the smaller ones. the big ones like johannesburg. now some of the metric balls where they've had college and governments have been big failures and they've really struggled. and we know from around the world democracy, steve, an old democracy struggle with this and my own experience from having in politics as many of these politicians are not mature enough to actually do what is best for the country. so i'm, i am concerned about it. um, i think so it will work. i think the the, and the reason why the work is that as the physical may dimension the strongest possible with all doubts from what we can see from the opinion. both still be the and see. so they would be the strong anchor and what they were being, and i think tha

luck with that melanie is zero. >> that's not great report. thanks for that.t's such an interesting rates, a contentious primary and dividing the democrats, chris van hollen is supporting angela alsobrooks and hakeem jeffries supporting david trone. what was your biggest takeaway from this race? >> well, in talking to republicans, they thought larry hogan was the old only republican who had any chance of winning maryland. and that is why you hadn't mitch mcconnell republican leaders and even former president george w bush, working on hogan for years. they made direct sales pitches to get him to run in the race and he finally did. but look, he still views himself as the underdog. he recognizes that this is a huge challenge, needs to win pretty much all of but republicans and independents and then 30% of democrats. so he knows this is an uphill climb, especially with trump at the top of the ticket but democrats know that this could actually get very competitive for them and they do not want have to spend money here. >> they will probably have to look the questio

melanie, are there any sign? let's to suggest this trial is going to go forward the way republicans wanted to well, jake, republicans wanted a full trial be also want this to end in a conviction, but that is just not what we are seeing play out on the senate floor. >> that first impeachment article was already killed on a party-line vote with all democrats voting to kill it. and one republican, lisa murkowski of alaska, someone we are watching very closely, voting presence a sign of her discontent with the process. now, chuck schumer, the senate majority leader, has teed up a second vote to kill that 2nd article. but republicans at the moment, or forcing a number of procedural votes. this is a delay tactic they're really trying to drag this out as long as possible. so we're seeing some theatrical there on the senate floor, but it's really important to point out that politics are driving so much of what we are seeing right now playing out on the senate floor. republicans really want to have some ammunition heading

cnn's melanie zanona is up on capitol hill flores. melanie, what's the latest? >> yeah. speaker mike johnson in the fight of his political life right now, he's deded to foreign aid bills and really setting up a showdn with h hard, right? they are furiou over thinding for ukraine and also the ft that it does not include boer securit provisns. johnn has isedserate vote on a hardliners say that is not enou. sohere are issues now heading into some of these votes and it's looking like some of these republicans are threatening to vote against the procedural rule that is a key vote to get these foreign aid bills over the finish line, which means johnson is going to have to rely on democrats to get these bills over the finish line. and he also might need to rely on them to save his speakership, are jake tapper did interview the speaker in the last hour here and asked him about all of these threats to his speakership. here's what he had to say. >> i've not asked any democrats to get involved in that. i believe the house will do its whale. i don't walk around thinking about the mo

it's not constitutional in which case it's to effectively removed or dismissed we have melanie zanona standing by watching all of this unfold on capitol hill, melanie, notably, now that the senate is moving to potentially dismiss at least article one again, secretary mayorkas it may not strictly break down on party lines, right? >> because there have been republican senators that have come forward and said that they would move to support the either dismissal or tabling the articles of impeachment yeah, that's right in to republicans that we're watching very closely on this vote are mixed romney and lisa murkowski to republicans who have booked their own party for when it comes to matters of impeachment. >> so we are expecting that this effort right now, which is to kill that first articles of impeachment is going to succeed. and the question here is whether rises to the level of an impeachable offense that is something that democrats in some republicans have argued who does not meet that very high bar and very high standard. they said this is more of a policy dispute that republicans

if you go really fast, if it's raining a lot, you can't, you're just gonna get hit by something. melanie strickland says this scenario can be avoided, but only if efforts are made to organize space traffic instead of tipping point. and we have a small window of opportunity to curtail um, you know, a catastrophic debris on debris event. most human beings on the surface or enabled by the sunlight keep abilities. well, there's the blue dot on your phone, the navigation systems that you use, transportation, global transportation, whether disaster response and so a day without space, because traffic to the human race, we'd see ourselves go back in time to the fifty's or before, as with finding consensus in space will require a dramatic shifting consensus on the ground. it will also require getting a handle on the new power of private satellite operators and how to regulate them. historically space was dominated by nation states. and if i had a concern about other activities and space, you would take it to the united nations. but now, you know, one of the biggest actors in space is not a natio

melanie >> amber, you can see right here over my shoulder. a couple of people are set up here on king street selling alcohol illegally. i was out here last night and saw the same thing. this not only takes away from licensed businesses here outside the stadium, it also creates a potential health and safety risk. the perimeter of oracle park is buzzing with happy fans during any san francisco giants home game, but authorities are frowning on the illegal sale of alcohol outside the stadium. earlier this month, the department of alcoholic beverage control held an operation outside oracle park for citations were issued and illegally sold alcohol was seized, including from one individual operating an unlicensed bar. >> this must be infuriating to all the local businesses that play by the rules and go for licenses. >> reporter district six supervisor matt dorsey says the city is seeing way too much of this in ways that are overwhelming. their ability to respond. despite the department of alcoholic beverage controls efforts in conjunction with the s

so melanie we were in the trenches on this siobhain it was right before you join the coalition. we were working with the executive branch and members of congress on the john lewis voting rights advancement act. we had gotten it to the house. and all of the sudden they are in the senate. we had 48 commitments. forty-eight commitments we had 48 hard commitments. all we needed was for two members of the united states senate to agree to create an exception one time for the filibuster. we worked on those two members. you know their names one is from west virginia, he is retiring. the other is from arizona she is running for reelection. we talk to them and worked very hard to persuade them to grant this exception. let's beat candidate. let's be clear. let's be unvarnished. let's not mince words and did not happen. they block the passage of the jon louisville. the republican blockade was there but we knew it was there but we knew we couldn't move it mitch mcconnell told his caucus under no circumstances do we support voting rights appeared to that privately, publicly missing something

thanks, melanie. >> all right. lawsuit filed today in california's supreme court seeks to throw out the state's death penalty for good. the lawsuit was filed by attorney general rob bonta and civil rights groups like the aclu. and they claim capital punishment is racist. according to the lawsuit. blacks and latinos are more likely than white people to be sentenced to death and murder. defendants more often face capital charges if their alleged victim was white. while the death penalty is law in california, the state hasn't actually executed anybody since the year 2006, and governor newsom put a moratorium on capital punishment back in 2019. still, there are 640 inmates on death row across california. that is the most of any state. the santa clara county water district has finished its repairs of the vasona reservoir. it's now being refilled. crews drained the reservoir last month, removing debris from the spillway where the water is released. also do some concrete sealing work, and now all the water is being put ri

so, joe biden, when we, as a civil rights community -- melanie, you will remember . when we got on the phone in 2022 speak to him -- it is our practice to try to speak to anybody but we are not going to chase you. we send you a letter and you don't return it, that is on you. come on, now. let's just understand. we will talk to anybody, anywhere who wants to be serious about our community and i am not talking about tennis shoes. i am talking about jobs. i am talking about health. i am talking about our children and education and the like. very importantly, when we talk to joe biden as a candidate, we challenged him. you need to put a plan together or black america. put a plan together. we want to see a suspect -- a set of specifically enumerated issues. he said, that is a great idea. i will do it but i would like to see what you recommend. wheel sent our recommendations to his team and they looked through it and they produced a plan. did the plan have every detail specificity that we want to? no. did it substantially embrace many of our main ideas? yes. so, we looked
