she obviously didn't go off on her own and because they had not the whole body but the skelton, the jury said maybe it was a accident. how does that play in the new kind of thinking with the jury? >> it is nothing new. beyond a reasonable doubt is the standard in our criminal justice system for years. the jurors have to be convinced it was a homicide and the defendant committed the crime. not having a body makes the case weaker typically but it is something they can go forward and prosecute. >> john, how do we prove that jacque waller is even dead in >> well, just like the attorney was saying, you got a life that was interrupted. she leaves her kid exercise beloved and leaves her job and doesn't contact friends or family or sister or mom or dad or new boy fren and she doesn't her credit cards and you look at the fact that it is totally different. she never id anything like that before in her life. that plays into it. go to drew peterson, he said stacey was a wonderful mother he said she ran off with a boyfriend and not charged with anything yet. >> they don't have the evidence yet and lo

i have been telling jokes since i was in grade school because of red skelton, all people of color, and that is what i have been doing a. that was supposed to be a joke. milton berle and the canadian who created the phrase (-- a comedian who created the phrase "here comes the judge." i was a comedian. i was never the class clown. >> people think the guy they call mr. vegas was wayne newton, but prior to wane, sammy. >> i respect mr. wayne newton as mr. las vegas. you get a title every generation. if changes. c.m.e. was the first, and he is still the greatest profession -- sammy was the first, and he is still the greatest performer. i thank god for them paving the way for myself. they had to go through the kitchen to come out and work on that stage, and every time i think about it, if they were lying to me, they would be surprised. everybody has to go through the kitchen. >> how is las vegas doing these days, because i keep reading about a recession and now? >> there was a big hit. they call them the cooler crown. richard -- cooler crowd. they bring their own sodas and years. we had to b

he started out in radio writing jokes for bob hope and red skelton and found sitcom immortality in televisioncritics panned his shows but audiences loved them. "gilligan's island" lasted four seasons and so did "the brady bunch." both live on in memories and reruns. sherwood schwartz died today in los angeles. he was 94 years old. >>> when we come back, brian williams talks to the medal of honor recipient. the president said was the stuff heroes are made of. >>> tonight, america has a new medal of honor recipient, sergeant first class leroy petry. upon receiving the nation's highest military honor from president obama today said he's humbled to be singled out. brian has a exclusive interview with one of the brave. >> reporter: ann, that's right. leroy petry wanted to be a soldier growing up in new mexico and he succeeded. u.s. army ranger, six tours of duty in afghanistan. two in iraq. we sat down in washington with him in washington a few weeks back for an exclusive interview prior to him receiving the medal of honor. it was for an action in afghanistan in a courtyard in the middle of a fire

it was the skelton of a well taken care of little girl. there was no indication of any kind of mistreatment or child abuse or malnutrition or anything along those lines. so there was nothing in the bones to indicate what happened to her. >> i mean, do you have any personal feeling about what you think happened to her? >> you know, i really don't want to speculate. the defense story was that her daughter drowned in the pool. and i don't think i'm in a position to question that. but did you see anything when you examined caylee's remains, did you see anything that would go along with that theory, that would corroborate it in any way? >> well, one of the things that forensic anthropologists look for is manner of death or cause of death. and you can only see evidence if it's something that leaves it mark on the bone -- a gunshot wound, for example, or a stabbing or blunt instrument trauma where you've got fractured patterning. those are things you can see in the skelton, but there are lots of different types of death that aren't going to leave

i would suggest that being obese does not destroy one's skelton or muscular tissue or nervous tissue, it's just extra weight to carry around. and if it's a national security issue then let's extend basic training and they can just stay there and do exercises and eat the diet in the mess hall until they make weight. this is not a national security issue. i'm constantly hearing these arguments about national security. one of them is, well, national security is fresh fruits and vegetables. and if we don't have fresh toe mateows it is a national security issue so therefore we must have cheap labor to pick the toe mateows. never mind the tomatos have been bred now to be picked by machine. and i ask the question, mr. speaker, how long do the eskimos get along without any fresh fruit or vegetables? they have lived for centuries on the high protein of the animal meet that -- meat that they can harvest up along the arctic circle. but they don't have carrots or broccoli or let us or toe mateows or pears or apples or peaches. none that have grows up there in the arctic circle. they are carnivore
