warren would be faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to testify against kelly. >> in prison, the culture at the prison is you do not testify. and if you do, you're threatened that you'll be killed either inside or outside and it's just not done. >> but in spite of the fear of having his name exposed again in the media, warren decided to testify for the virks. kelly ellard admitted taking part in the initial beating. but she said it was only in self defense. and then warren told his story in court. >> he was crying and it was so -- the whole courtroom was deadly silent. kelly actually started crying, just sobbing and weeping and she had never shown any emotion. i think it became real for the first time how horrible it was. >> emotions ran high inside the courtroom. and outside as well. where the anguished parents of

after oral warren got there. -- earl warren got there. this is when it was decided. it. >> i want to screen some other statistics. let's put them up there. these are the longest serving justices in history. there are 112 justices. william douglas served the longest. stephen johnson field, he served 12,611 days. you were three days short of been the second-largest serving in history. did you know that? trying to set a record. or anything like that. i particularly did not want to be remembered for the length of my service. it is a testament to the quality of the service or its importance. i had been told or had read somewhere that you really should not get that many, because the last few months of this service, he was sick or something. more. active, constructive service on the court than he did. >> i preceded him. -- i succeeded him. did. >> over 700 days. yes, years. >> when did you retire from the court? >> the day after the last day. the next justice that you write about is general warren. -- earl warren. let's watch this. this is a 1952 clip. a program, this used

a similar turn around has happened for warren. ken buyers wanted to give warren his power washer. because warren's pickup needs brakes, we drove to buyer's home to pick it up for him. delivering it to warren in woodbridge felt like christmas morning. >> unbelievable. look at that. >> what do you think? >> i can do my thing. i'm so grateful. i don't know how to tell you. i'm shocked. i'm super excited. >> i tell you what, in a few minutes after that, he got that thing fired up and started washing another channel 9 truck for us. he is a hard worker and looking for business. he might give you a call. also, his cell phone is on our website. that's how ken buyers found him. he's ready to go and also another good news piece is that the ax food pantry in dumfries will be reopening tomorrow at 1:00. so two good pieces of news to report today. and coming up at 6:00, we will show warren mitchell at work using that thing. it's very impressive. back to you. >> that is welcome news. still ahead, gun shots ring out inside a montgomery county assisted living center. we'll tell you what happens.

of warren buffetts. learning can be done at a lower cost, with higher value. that's where it will ultimately work out. >> governor wise? >> i happen to agree with warren buffett on the tax. having said that, what the other thing that warren buffett has talked about and where governor bush and i come together and agree is the importance of education. there are 30 more potential warren buffetts in omaha and across the country. and as a recent study showed if you cut the dropout rate in half you would save the federal treasury $5 billion a year. the best economic stimulus package in the country is a diploma. in terms of state budgets, state budgets have been stagnant for years. they're going to stay that way for the next several years. we can't continue to do business the same way. i think warren buffett would say i am going to buy the company. but i have to turn it around and introduce the technology that will truly make it productive. >> governor bush, this question has nothing to do with education and i

officer cruz remembers being surprised when he first met warren. >> my first reaction in shaking his hand and meeting him was this kid was involved in that? he is so timid, so quiet, so shy. wow. >> according to cruz, warren took advantage of counseling and participated in self-help programs, and that help changed his outlook on life. >> he didn't join the gangs or toughen up or harden himself to survive in prison. he found people that would kind of allow him to become a better person. >> but what became of kelly ellard? the girl accused of holding reena virk under the water until she was drowned? in 2004 her guilty verdict was overturned on appeal. kelly was getting a second trial.

warren said at that time he let go and kelly took her into the gorge up to about her waist and

my writing about justice warren, chief justice warren is pretty much as an observer as a member of the bar rather than any direct knowledge. with one exception, and that is that my friendohn hastings who seed with me on the 7th circuit spent a fair am of time with the chief justice in dicial conferences. he was not one who agreed with earl warren but was an admirer how he ran conferences and dealt with other people. i remember john. he is a very high regard for a men whose views he did not share. >> charlie: i make this observation that both earl warrena former governor of californiand you, a republican apinted by president ford both were considered to be moderate republicans. and yet you turned out to be on a court and to vote for things that were considered very liberal. whether it's maranda or board of education or a whole nge of issues that you ... how do you characterize that? >> well, i don't really try to characterize it. i think itust a function of the fact that the judicial work is very different from political work. one's approach to audicial converse may involved considerati

warren burger used it when he retired. when i joined the court, he wanted to keep his chambers, and i did not like to make -- i did not want to make an issue out of it. i first moved into the location at the front of the court. and then i was able to leave that office and moved halfway down the hall when tom clark died. he had chambers on the side. when potter stewart retired, i moved into his chambers on the corner, which was a beautiful office. i stayed there until they did the serious redecoration three or four years ago. justice is chambers remodeled, the justice had to take temporary quarters elsewhere. when a remodeled my chambers, i moved into justice o'connor's chambers and i liked them, so i just stayed there. i was there until i retired. >> you served with 19 of the 112 justices over the years. gore did the closest to personally? >> -- who were you the closest to personally? >> i should have an answer to that question. i have been digging about it lately. -- i have been thinking about it lately. i was very fond o

warren now works in welding and construction. he lives in a supervised facility. he goes out to make speeches, though, to kids in schools and in prisons. he has to be home every evening, and he is re-evaluated every six months. >> he can't drink. he can't leave the province. he has to meet with a parole officer every week. >> but the ordeal still wasn't over for the virks. in 2008 the british columbia court of appeals ruled kelly ellard did not receive a fair trial because of what it called unfair questioning by the prosecution. kelly's latest conviction was overturned allowing the now 25-year-old a fourth trial. her case stands before the supreme court of canada to determine whether another trial is warranted. >> the system is granting her all these options where it's been dragged through the courts

warren buffett wrote this piece for "the new york times."at's actually a lower percentage that was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office." that provoked president obama to propose the buffett rule to eliminate the possibility that super rich would pay lower tax rates than the middle class. kansas republican congressman tim hulescamp had this reaction to the buffett rule. >> i'm saying if we're going to shape an entire nation's tax policy based on one man's claim, show us the proof. if mr. buffett came before my budget committee, we'd expect to see the information under oath and that's a reasonable expectation if we're going to change our nation's tax policy based on his claim. i'll trade my tax returns for his tax returns and we'll compare them then make a discussion about tax policy after we see them. >> congressman huelskamp followed that up by a letter to warren buffett with a i'll show you mine if you show me yours proposal. this letter was publicly released today. the statistics published by the irs, assembled by the congress

are at play with the elizabeth warren campaign. her boomlet of $3 million raised in just a couple weeks is from the fact people are thirsty of someone who speak truth to power and take on wall street and corporate power. >> buddy, politicians make superficial judgments when they look at crowds and say, that's not our group, look at that one and say, they're us. did you get a lot of messages down there today that were anti-republican? that a republican politician would not be able to figure out how to live with or deal with? >> i like the way you phrased the question. let me answer it in two phases. i got a lot of negative comment by the fact i was a republican, but they listened as they listened why i changed party 20 years ago, why i'm a jobs guy, why i'm not a lawyer, i'm not a professional politician. i think america can do better. i got a chance to have that interaction. but i listened. and without exception, every person there, some with scruffy hair, some not dressed as neat as you are, some that look different from maybe my

elizabeth warren takes a jab at senator scott brown's claim that he had to pose nude to pay for college in 1982, but it's what scott brown said back that's raising eyebrows. it's friday, october 7th, 2011. this is "the daily rundown." i'm chuck todd. let me get right to my "first read" of the morning. and let's start with the jobs numbers. employers added 103,000 jobs in september. it left the unemployment rate unchanged at 9.1%. now, the president has been pulling out all the stops to sell his jobs bill. he's been traveling to schools, bridges, rural america, plans to take another bus tour in swing states like north carolina and virginia. then, of course, the white house news conference where the president argued that his jobs bill is an insurance policy against a double-dip recession. >> what i've tried to do is say here are the best ideas i've heard, not just from partisans, but from independent economists. these are the ideas most likely to create jobs now and strengthen the economy right now. >> the president has tried a number of ways to rally public support for the bill, but poll
