be free and harm others again. jana murray they say was a loving person, beautiful, laughing, talented. a wonderful young woman with a full life ahead of her, who touched so many people, including her little nephews, one of which, a 6-year-old, has told his parents he wants to die to be with aunt jana. they say as a result of the horrific killing their lives have been changed, because of the evilness of britney norwood, the coverup for having blamed two masked burglars for committing this crime last year. it has left the murray family facing a nightmare, living in fear, feeling rage, hate, depression, in some cases wanting death. their lives they say will never be the same and this was a happy, positive family. they used to believe that anything could be accomplished. that's the way jana lived. if somebody was afraid she'd say murray up which was their family credo. we haven't heard from anybody yet in favor of britney norwood. that will come after this break. her defense attorneys will present more than likely her mother and father who say her life has value, that she can be a positive member of society, that if paroled she would add value to the people around her. britney norwood has been staring straight ahead showing no emotion as at trial. she'll be given the opportunity to speak at this sentencing hearing. we don't know if she will or not but the state's attorney moments ago said britney norwood has never shown remorse. she has never accepted responsibility. for her it has been denial, denial, denial. and he is asking judge robert greenburg who will pronounce sentence this afternoon for life in prison without the pon possibility of parole. finally one thing we found out today, the family is asking the judge to continue the work jane has started when she discovered britney norwood had stolen a pair of pants from lulu lemon. continue that work that the jury advanced when they found her guilty of first degree premeditated murder. and when the family of jana murray rejected every offer of a plea deal, knowing it would give them stability and maybe some comfort and not have to face emotional trials, but they would not do that. they fought for jana and what they want now is the maximum sentence so that she's never free to harm anyone else again. that's the latest. the sentencing will continue. the sentencing hearing will continue. it now shifts to britney norwood and the case will be made she deserves a life sentence and some day to be paroled. but the murrays are hoping that doesn't happen or, they say, the murray nightmare will continue. that's the latest from the montgomery county circuit court. back to you. >> hey, chris, if the judge does grant the family's request and give her the chance for parole, how much time would she have to serve before she would get that chance? >> reporter: that's a good yes. it's a process but probably somewhere in the area of 25 years which means her mid 50s or at age 60 she would be allowed out. you always get victims' families saying she took our chance to see our daughter. does she deserve a life outside of prison? >> thank you, chris. watch out for falling temperatures. it will feel 30 degrees colder tonight than when you left the house this morning. >> veronica johnson has the latest on this spring-like day in january. >> watch out for spring-like temperatures. that doesn't mean move to the side so you miss them from falling. this has been another freaky spring-like day in winter for us with mild temperatures and even some thunderstorms included. we started naught the 60s this morning. a lot of folks have been saying what in the world is going on? we're in the 50s with more big changes coming. if you missed the rain and thunder here it is. 4:00 a.m., just rain through the area. leesburg, gaithersburg, and around fairfax. meanwhile we had that line of thunder move on through the area and so it hit areas just up around i-70 and 270. by the time we got to 5:30 and 6:30 in the morning. frederick, 270, leesburg, warranton. then another line came into areas just west of i-95 around fairfax and down through stafford county approaching fredericksburg by 8:00 a.m. so a soggy morning rush for us. then we've got more storms that pulled on out of calvert and st. mary's county. we're dry right now. we have a lot of wind and still some clouds left around the area. some of those winds have been gusting up to 40 and over 40 miles per hour earlier today. we're at 53 degrees talking about the wind hanging on longer. big changes on the way for the overnight period and of course we'll look at our weekend forecast in a couple minutes. >> thanks, veronica. nine children accused of taking drugs at a loudoun county school could be expelled. sheriff's deputies say a group of eighth graders allegedly ate brownies mixed with marijuana at farmwell station middle school on wednesday. the school is located in ashburn. the sheriff's office tells us rumors about the drugs at school circulated among other students on twitter. disciplinary and criminal action against the nine students is pending. the outcome of the investigation. prince george's county police are figuring out how to excavate a body found in a well in a rural part of fort washington, maryland. an anonymous tip them led them to the body in the well about 20 feet deep. today surveyors are figuring out how to remove the body, preserve as much evidence as possible, and make sure the well does not collapse. alexandria police are also on the scene. there is speculation the body could be that of community activist lenny harris. harris disappeared back in september and his car was found in prince george's county in october. one person is hospitalized this afternoon following a carbon monoxide leak in georgetown. investigators tell news 4 a faulty water heater is to blame for the second carbon monoxide leak at the same building this week. this is along 33rd street. we're told about a dozen people were evacuated from the building. one person was taken to the hospital. that person is expected to be okay. well, this is your last chance to pay old, outstanding tickets in the district without penalties. d.c. is ending its ticket amnesty program. it allows you to pay outstanding tickets issued before january first of 2010 without any of the penalties. so far the district has collected more than $3.5 million in revenue through the amnesty program. occupy d.c. protesters have until monday to pack up their sleeping bags and camping gear or face arrest. today the national park service handed out flyers to the demonstrators at mcpherson square and freedom plaza. the park service says long standing rules prohibit camping and the use of temporary structures at a protest site. the protesters, who have been there since october, will still be allowed to demonstrate but cannot camp out overnight. they have until monday to comply or risk arrest and seizure of their property. three days to go now until the pivotal florida presidential primary. and there were new polls to report today. newt gingrich remains in the lead among republicans and led in florida for most of the month but not anymore. steve handelsman has the latest. >> reporter: mitt romney has turned around the race in florida. >> i will fight to get more opportunity for americans. >> reporter: in four days from monday night's debate to last night's, romney regained the lead in florida polls. he had a new debate coach. >> speaker gingrich was hired by freddie mac to promote them. i think instead we should have had a whistle blower and not a horn tooter. >> reporter: newt gingrich had a bad night. >> i'd be glad to have a truce with you. >> reporter: gingrich is still the national gop front run inner today's nbc news poll with 37% to romney's 28%. >> we've had a consistent effort to try to develop a nationwide approach. >> reporter: but he got bad news on electability. in a head-to-head matchup with president obama, gingrich is running third, 18 points behind the president. romney is six points back. if newt is the nominee, the nbc pollster predicts a republican rout like 1964 when ultra conservative republican nominee barry goldwater won just six states. >> gingrich is goldwater and he doesn't only take down himself. he takes down the whole flotilla and essentially in the end of the day the public just doesn't trust him. that's the difficulty. >> reporter: to try to stop gingrich, '08 nominee john mccain went to florida, mocking newt's call for a lunar colony. >> send newt gingrich to the moon and mitt romney to the white house. >> reporter: winning florida would be a big step but the race there is so volatile it could change again by tuesday. i'm steve handelsman, news 4. when news 4 at 4:00 continues, a call for help from demi moore's house. >> right now is she awake? >> yes, well, semiconscious, barely. >> okay. is she

tag line signed "epstein's mother." he died yesterday after being taken to a hospital in new jersey in full cardiac arrest. robert heyges was 60 years old. we're learning more today about what happened in the moments leading up to actress demi moore's being rushed to an l.a. hospital. that happened on monday night. >> a 911 call captures a friend of moore's telling paramedics that she has inhaled too much nitrous oxide. >> okay. she smoked something. it's not marijuana but it's similar to incense and she seems to be having convulsion of some sort. >> okay. are you with the person at this time? >> i'm actually in the other room. but yes. >> okay. you have to be next to her so i can ask you some questions. we have paramedics on the way. >> okay. >> right now is she awake? >> yes, well semiconscious, barely. >> okay. is she breathing? >> is she breathing? yes. >> okay. she over dosed on -- >> she's convulsinconvulsing. >> keep watching closely. don't do anything or put anything in her mouth. >> we're not. >> accidental or intentional? >> it was, she smoked something you know but the reaction was accidental. >> all right. >> it was zentdal. >> moore has checked into rehab and according to representatives she is being treated for exhaustion. moore filed for divorce last october or november rather from her husband of six years, actor ashton kutcher. >> some folks will be

bolivia to have it done last year. >> a tremendous change. i had, you know, that square look, sponge bob. >> reporter: plastic surgeon constantineo mirandaa says he invented the miami thong lift ten years ago. >> it is just now entering into vogue. i'm going to paris to lecture this week, i've been invited to turkey and belgium. >> he credits jennifer lopez for making curves popular and more recently kim kardashian. >> i've seen my practice be almost 85% gluteal contouring. >> it is not simply making the buttocks bigger but creating an hour glass look. the doctor uses liposuction to remove fat from undesirable areas like the waist and belly then injects the patient's own fat into her buttocks. but in some cases he also removes fat from a certain spot. >> sometimes people will have a little bit of excess fullness between the you about cheeks at the bottom part of it. i'm able to remove that. >> hence the name for this $14,000 procedure. not all of this injected fat will stay put. the body absorbs about 20% of it. sometimes his fates do end up back in the operating room. >> the touchup rate is 5% to 10% for asim tri or perhaps a little bit too much absorption. the majority of the interest is more in just going bigger. >> by the way, it's not only women getting the miami thong lift. diana gonzalez, nbc miami. >> interesting. >> yes, i'd say it's interesting. coming up on news 4 the auto show kicks off at the washington convention center. we'll have a preview of that. >> and you can't get there from here. thousands of drivers have to find a new way around

break from their commuting headaches but over the weekend expect some more problems getting around. we have a look at closures and delays on the system this coming weekend. >> metro will be doing track work on four of the system's five lines and it could affect travel around the city. the red line looks like it may be the biggest problem this weekend as buses will replace trains between van ness and dupont circle. that's so crews can shut down the woodly park station for work as well as the cleveland park metro station. in addition, trains will be single tracking on the blue and orange line between mcpherson square and smithsonian. green line trains will single track to branch avenue and yellow line will only travel between huntington and mount vernon square. all of that work starts tonight at 10:00 and everything should be back to normal just in time for your monday morning commute. have a great weekend. >> talking about the weekend, i hope it's not quite as bad as the early

hear thunder in the winter, right? that's what we had. thunderstorms, soaking rain. we're not going to have any of that at all this weekend. it's going to be pretty nice coming up but today we've had a windy day in the wake of that cold front, still getting pretty high gusts out there. baltimore and leesburg. baltimore earlier gusting to 45 and just that last hour leesburg gusting to 45 degrees.

northwest at 24 miles an hour. partly cloudy skies, nothing to report on radar. we do however have some showers and even some snow off to the west. that's in the midwest around minneapolis, minnesota the next weather system that's going to come this way and as it does so will fall apart across the mountains tomorrow. for us late it's a diminishing wind. skies clearing out, a few clouds tomorrow. i think most of our sun will come early in the day. then we'll turn partly sunny. there is your system fading as it heads over the mountains for sunday. then another fast moving system for actually that system fades on saturday. another fast moving system for sunday. i think we could get a few flurries out of it any time after about 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. on sunday. a flake or two, that's it. it's not going to last long. forecast for the evening, 42 to 56 degrees. continued windy. it's going to be cooler. temperatures stepping on down by tomorrow morning. we'll be starting out chilly. 31 to 39 degrees. but by mid january standards, that is still nice for this area. the wind, too, by tomorrow morning will be light. then tomorrow once again you get that sunshine out. it's going to get a little breezy by the afternoon. 53 to 58 degrees. southwest wind tomorrow at 15 to 25 miles per hour. here's a look at the next four days. i think the nicest day out of the weekend, guys, is going to

reporter: she jumped, a decision that would cost anna her legs. >> i remember looking down at my leg dragging on the ground looking at the wheels and how fast they were going and i just remember looking down there and thinking oh, my god. what have i done? >> she's awake. >> is she breathing? >> she is very, very pale. she's alert and talking. now she's crying. don't move. don't move. >> i felt my feemur snap. i remember thinking very clearly i was about to die. >> reporter: but that day anna's painful misfortune was met by incredible luck. >> if kathy and i wouldn't have been there she

the loss of her legs. she says there came a day when she realized she had to choose between wallowing in self-pity or getting over it. she chose to move on with her life and now she talks to young people about decisions and the moments before she tried to jump on that train even though her instincts told her not to. the death toll from the collapse of three buildings in rio de janeiro, brazil is now at six. you can see people running followed by a huge cloud of dust. the accident happened wednesday night. officials say the structures went down after a 20-story building caved in and then brought down two nearby office buildings. the cause of the accident is under investigation but investigators suspect illegal construction. at least 16 people are still missing. a section of floor collapsed at a casino construction site in cincinnati, ohio today sending 11 people to hospital. casino officials say the workers were pouring concrete on the second floor when a support beam gave way. it sent the crew members sliding about 30 feet to the level below. the cause of this accident is also being investigated. fire investigators say the workers have nonlife threatening injuries. and now to the latest on the costa concordia cruise ship accident in italy. as the investigation continues, officials with the cruise liner are trying to figure out how to compensate passengers who made it out of the ship and to the families of those who didn't. they're also trying to figure out the best way to remove a half million gallons of fuel from the ship. michelle kosinski has the latest. >> reporter: it is hard to believe at this point. it has been two weeks that this massive cruise ship has sat here on these rocks just off giglio island. the captain is still on house arrest. but now his attorney tells nbc news he feels awful about this. at the same time, unjustly demonized. we know he has told prosecutors it wasn't all his fault and that he did not abandon ship but fell into a life boat. though now officials are describing a night full of delays and downplaying and the company says he tried to get a manager to agree to a sort of cover story that would blame the accident on an electrical failure. while the investigation is going on, so are two processes that have been difficult and time consuming. one, removing the victims. divers have been there every day but the spaces are cramped, cluttered, the water is extremely dark and murky. they've recovered 16 victims. they think possibly 18 are still inside or somewhere near the ship. tomorrow they'll be using remotely operated vehicles to look into some of the more inaccessible spaces they've encountered. also the pressure is on to remove 500,000 gallons of fuel inside before this becomes an environmental disaster. the equipment is in place. a tanker ship comes in tomorrow. they were hoping to get that process really going in the afternoon sometime but now that looks, too, like it will be delayed, likely because of weather. possibly starting now, sunday, or even monday. back to you. there is more to come on news 4 at 4:00 this afternoon including an app that is perfect for couch potatoes. >> the school that's

>> when we did turn to the food and drug administration for this question it says 146 people in 28 states were infected by that outbreak strain of listeria with a total of 30 deaths reported. as of january 9th the fda now says the outbreak is over. cantaloupe is safe to buy. that being said the fda reminds us listeria is a bacteria that can still cause real health concerns and always recommends you clean your refrigerator and food prep services regularly to protect yourself from any infection. but cantaloupes are on the safe list now. >> glad to hear that. our next question comes from a viewer in d.c. she tried to schedule a home pickup for a charitable donation but was turned down. she wants to know if some charities refuse to pick up donations if you live in the district. >> interesting. she thought this was a geographic problem. we asked the salvation army and good will to answer this question for us. both say they will do donation pickups for the entire d.c. metro area including within the district. the salvation army says it's possible that a pickup request would be refused if it doesn't need -- have a great need for the item that you want to give at that time. so they may just say simply we're not coming for that item. good will's free donation pickup service has a few weeks' wait time because of the limited amount of available trucks. for more information by the way about donation pick-ups, simply go to our website nbc washington.com and search donation. we've got more information for you there. >> okay. our last question comes from lauren in northwest and she asked what's the difference between a two-prong electric plug and a three-prong plug? >> for those of you who don't know it's all about safety. we checked with the national electrical manufacturer's association and it says the main difference comes down to safety concerns. the first two prongs at the end of the plug are needed to get voltage across to the wire. that's simple. the third prong grounds the connection and helps ensure no one gets electrocuted in case the line voltage and the metal parts in the wire accidently come in contact with each other. so although the third prong isn't necessary for you to get electrical devices to work there is an additional safety precaution with that third round prong. if you'd like to ask a question send it to ask liz@nbc washington.com. connect with me on twitter, just search liz crenshaw and on facebook. coming up on news 4 at 5:00 tonight are school zone speed limits enforced even when school isn't in session?
