As a troubling picture of his mental history comes into sharper focus. Also tonight were getting much more detail on what was reportedly happening inside the passenger cabin as that copilot was allegedly sending himself and 149 others to their deaths. Once again tonight, bill neely leads our coverage from southern france. Reporter inside the head of Andreas Lubitz was a troubled mind. Hed always dreamed of flying, but its clear he also considered killing himself. Years before he qualified, hed been receiving therapy. On his mind, suicide. Treatment of a psychotherapist because of what is documented as being suicidal. Reporter hed seen doctors just before the crash and in recent years, said the prosecutor. But there was no record of any more suicidal tendencies or aggression. Evidence from his apartment show he tried to hide his medical condition from the airline. Investigators are now examining reports that condition was bipolar disorder, or manic depression. His employers at lufthansa now face more questions. Did they know about his suicidal thoughts . And if they did, why did they believe they were all in the past . Because this is what his boss said of lubitz last week. He was 100 fit to fly, h any restrictions. The pain of the bereaved families is already immense. An apparent leak of the cockpit voice recording to a german tabloid newspaper suggests that minutes after the plane begins to descend, the captain locked out of the cockpit, bangs on the door yelling for god sake open the door. Passengers begin screaming. 10 37 and the plane has lost half its altitude. The captain yells, open the damn door. 10 40, more screams and a loud scraping sound like a wing hitting the mountain. Then silence. A seventh day of searching, but no rest here. Theyre building a fast road to a crash site that still holds secrets. Theyve still not found the flight data recorder. The airline said today it might be damaged. Theyre still finding human remains. And theyve extracted the dna of around 80 victims. There is so much more to find, not just from the site but from the medical records and mental history of a troubled man who became a mass murderer. And there is now pressure in germany to look again at exactly what pilots can keep confidential, their right to privacy about their medical and mental history against the publics right to know if lives could be endangered. New guidelines may well follow in germany, but this is a hot issue for the Airline Industry worldwide. Lester. Bill neely tonight, thank you.

There is new fallout tonight over a law signed by the governor of indiana that critics say is worded in such a way that allows businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians. Supporters argue thats not the case at all. They say its about protecting religious freedom. In the meantime some of those against it are prepared to put their money where their mouth is. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez has details. Reporter after relentless backlash, today, Indiana Republicans rushed to defend the states new religious freedom restoration act. Does this law allow businesses to deny Services Based on religious beliefs . No, it does not. Reporter the House Speaker says lawmakers are trying to add language to clarify the laws intent. It is to set a standard, a high standard, of when government attempts to impact negatively or burden someones religious liberty. Reporter democrats want to repeal the law. Critics say its antigay. 19 other states have similar laws, but indiana is different in part because theres no statewide nondiscrimination law here protecting sexual orientation. The controversy here is not about the text of this law. The controversy is about the context in which this law has been enacted. Its not a coincidence that in the last several months samesex marriage has become legal in the state of indiana. Reporter the firestorm has spread on social media. Boycottindiana. Late tonight connecticut became the first state to ban statefunded travel to indiana by its employees. Indianas based angies list put its 40 million expansion plans on hold.

But more protesters are expected at the City Council Meeting tonight. Lester. All right, gabe, thank you. An emotional day in the trial of the alleged Boston Marathon bomber. The prosecution rested its case concluding with some of its most heart wrenching evidence to date before the defense began making its case. Nbcs justice correspondent Pete Williams was in the courtroom. Reporter the government ended its case on the human toll of the second marathon bomb blast. An emotional finish on the youngest bombing victim, 8yearold Martin Richard. Several jurors wept as the medical examiner explained how the bomb ripped through his 69pound body. Hed been watching the race with his family leaning on the railing along the marathon route. The fbi says Dzhokhar Tsarnaev placed a Pressure Cooker bomb loaded with nails and bbs just a few feet away from where Martin Richard was standing. The medical examiner said the blast drove six nails, 20 bbs and other pieces of the bomb into the boys body. His mother and father were in court as photos of their sons fatal injuries were shown to the jury. Earlier, a doctor detailed how the same blast killed chinese graduate student lingzi lu with one piece of the bomb driven clear through her body. And the fbi gave new details of Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs movements that day. Referring to Surveillance Video that shows him seen here at the top of the screen walking away from the bomb he planted a mere ten seconds before it went off. Still unclear is whether tsarnaev himself will testify in his own defense. Many legal experts say thats doubtful. Too risky. Putting the focus of the entire defense on his courtroom demeanor. A guy like tsarnaev, he gets on the stand, if he smirks, looks the wrong way, its done. Reporter defense lawyers say all the major steps in mbing, including buying components, were taken care of by his older brother tamerlan. It appears the defense will only take a few days. So the jury could start deliberating later this week. If the verdict is guilty, as it almost certainly would be, then the same jury will sit through a second trial on the penalty.

An awful tragedy earlier this morning on a rural stretch of highway in florida. Authorities say eight people were killed and ten others injured when the driver of a church van that was loaded with people overloaded apparently, apparently ran through a stop sign crossing four lanes of traffic before crashing into a canal. Church members said they were returning home after attending a weekend convention. Overseas were less than 24 hours now from a major deadline for negotiators to reach an initial agreement on Irans Nuclear program. And despite near roundtheclock diplomacy to try to hammer out a deal, theres word of a possible lastminute stumbling block. Our chief Foreign Affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell is at the talks in switzerland. Reporter the skies over lausanne were as ominous as those talks inside trapped by their own deadline. Six major world powers and iran. In a luxurious 19th century palace. Legend says once inhabited by lord byron and cocoa chinel. Stop iran from turning Nuclear Technology into a nuclear weapon. And if iran cheats, to give the world a warning before iran could build a bomb. One idea have iran send its atomic fuel out of the country. Now at the last minute iran has firmly ruled that out. The new secretary of defense, Ashton Carter in his first tv interview, was asked by Savannah Guthrie if iran can be trusted. Theyve cheated in the past. Whats to say they wouldnt in the future . Like any agreement it cant be based on trust. It has to be based on verification and tough measures. Reporter john kerry still thinks a deal is possible. Were working very hard. Very hard. You have been working hard for days, sir, how much longer do you think . Reporter but he knows time is running out. Even if they get a deal, secretary kerry then has to sell it to a really skeptical congress. The talks stretched well into the night tonight. They will start again possibly for the last time at 7 00 a. M. Tomorrow, lester. All right, Andrea Mitchell in lausanne. Andrea thanks. Ann curry is also part of our team there with the latest on a tough situation facing iranian negotiators having to convince hardliners in that country to go along with any deal. Reporter lester, good evening. On this critical night in these talks with the iranian negotiators say they really need to say yes to a deal is the ability to sell it back home. As the u. S. , iran has conservatives who dont trust the other side. And they are ready to pounce if they believe negotiators give up too much. So the biggest price of the iranians is to be able to announce some relief from crippling sanctions and most importantly u. N. Sanctions, as they see it some immediate relief from u. N. Sanctions would mean that for the first time in more than 30 years iran would no longer be an outlier in the international community, lester. Ann curry, thanks.
