mr. snyder's property? reason for that except for the fact to kill him. >> based on the ballistic evidence, prosecutors charged ronald harshman with first-degree murder. melvin snyder disappeared on may 25th, exactly one year to the day from when melvin started the affair with teresa harshman. >> mr. harshman is the kind of man that no one was going to tell him what to do. no one was going to take his property. he became very vengeful, very very angry. he was not the kind of person that was going to allow his wife to return home and try to rebuild their relationship. there was no forgive and forget. it was i will get my revenge. and that's what he did. >> prosecutors say the crime was premeditated. the evidence suggests that harshman drove to melvin's home, found him inside the barn. then shot and killed him with his new .25-caliber pistol. [ gunshot ] the .25-caliber round probably didn't exit melvin's body. prosecutors believe harshman drove home and returned later on his motorcycle. after he disposed of

mr. snyder, that no one broke the law. the question is whether the law should be changed. >> it illustrates one of the issues with the rule because we're here to talk about the rule. one problem with the rule is as a everyone in the financial services industry knows, especially after the financial crisis, you can be sued, sometimes appropriately but also sometimes frivolously. and under the best interest contract exemption, you've entered into a contract with the client and they can sue you and you can lose the benefit of the exemption. so you -- not just -- >> i understand, mr. snyder, that zorpt toyou don't want to be sued. i totally get that. but the question i keep trying to ask is whether it's generally a good idea for workers like firefighters and teachers on the eve of their retirement to move their money from guaranteed defined benefit plans into riskier assets. let me ask you that question, mr. puritz. you're the managing director of rebalance i.r.a. you have a large investment firm. would you advise 50-year-old,

mr. snyder would change the name. >> reporter: you think the team should be allowed to keep its name?> they should. they definitely should. >> reporter: why? >> i just don't think that was the intention, to have it -- to make it sound -- be racist or inappropriate at all. just a name it was catchy it fits and it should stick. >> reporter: you like it? >> i like it. >> reporter: now the washington redskins have 60 days to fileym with the u.s. court of appeals in richmond. in the meantime, they can use the name, the league going the mascot here at games at fedex field, on merchandise and everywhere else until all appeals are exhausted. now, coming up, today quarterback rg3 made an appearance in southeast washington and i asked him what effect the uncertainty over the redskins name is having on him. you will hear from him coming up on news 4 at 6:00. jim back to you. >> thank you. >>> renowned d.c. chef, jose andres, says tonight he is pulling out of a deal to open a restaurant at donald trump's new hotel in the district. the celebrity chef says he is severing ties because of what trump

mr. snyder and john layman was in attendance at this.'m very concerned that we have seen an erosion of our naval power. cutting more people in the armed forces i don't think makes sense. but what i will tell you is i'm sure you would agree with this. there needs to be some dramatic and significant reform inside the pentagon. you have 900,000 people who act as bureaucrats inside that building. do you know how long it takes to field a weapons system? we need to deal with the infrastructure we don't need in this country anymore. we shouldn't have weapons systems that are outdated. and at the end of the day, we have to be able to project power and the ability to project power means you have mobility and lethality. now, these are not things i studied the other day. these are things i lived for 18 years. and frankly, i've stayed in touch with all these kinds of issues even when i've been out. this is not something. fixing the national security helping with our allies being able to have lethality and mobility being able to operate in asia in th

mr. snyder had more than sufficient means to protect his reputation. we presume that defending such litigations would not be a rational strategy for an investment fund such as yours. indeed the cost of litigation would quickly outstrip the value of washington city paper. what he is saying is he could quickly outstrip the value. his intent was to put us out of business. that is why we are here today. there was an anti-slapp lawton d.c. that led presumably for him to drop the case against us. there is a classic case of a goliath after a small media organization. what they wanted was an apology which i wasn't willing to give what they wanted was a retraction. there was nothing wrong with the story. they would have been pleased if we had fired the reporter. i don't think i was ever expressly stated. those are the sort of things at play. that's what we expect for defamation suits. now we have individuals. maybe you can say how that has changed with the proliferation of online sites. maybe they've never think about what they are writing and the consequence o
