if he wasn't please in the playing nose tackle or any other position we had for him, that we let him go to any team he would lake. but by april 1 where when we owed him a check of $21 million, we said if you do take the check wergs expect you to be the best defense and nose tackle. if we pay you to be the best free safety, we expect you to be a free safety. even though he would have to lose a little weight. we expect him to do the best job he can and make the commit. to be the best football player. he took the check and so it was a surprise when he wasn't hear today. did he make the

when you get a heating, you get the thunderstorms clouds to really start building. nice that we're getting rain. 81 is the temperature right now. the dew point temperature, very high. 72 degrees. it is plenty steamy out there. we'll see at least a little drop in the dew point temperatures as we go through the overnight period and early tomorrow morning. we'll drop to 77 by 9:00 p.m. a few lingering showers and maybe a form or two. by 11:00, once the front moves through, we'll see our chances of rain turning off. by early tomorrow morning, with high pressure moving in, clear skies across the area. the radar and satellite loop moves through today. here's the actual line. the cold front coming through western maryland. we'll catch that front the next time you see it. as it comes

final arguments from prosecutors against three men accused of misleading police. today judge heard testimony from the chief medical examiner of maryland. pat collins joins us now live from d.c. superior court with the latest developments today. pat? >> reporter: after more than three and a half weeks of testimony, for more than 30 witnesses, more than 100 pieces of evidence, the prosecutors today rested their case in the swann street trial. not before they called an important stabbing/murder expert. in his many years as a medical examiner, david faller has done autopsies on more than 800 stab wound murders. he said he's never seen anything like the case of robert wone mr. wone found killed in the guest room of this house on swann street. the three men who lived in that house have been charged with covering up that murder. in court, dr. fowler said he found no evidence that robert wone moved or resisted his attacker as he was stabbed three time in the chest. he said he found no wounds on mr. wone's hand. no wounds on his forearm. no defensive wounds at all. that's remarkable, the doctor said. the prosecutor says there were unexplained needle marks on mr. wone's body. the osecutor suggesting mr. wone had been incapacitated before he was stabbed. dr. fowler said he found no medical evidence to explain why mr. wone didn't resist this knife attack. dr. fowler is the chief medical examiner for the state of maryland. he was hired by the government to study the robert wone murder case. dr. fowler said the stab wounds were uniform. that mr. wone probably lost consciousness in 45 seconds to a minute. that he was dead about four minutes after that. the three swann street house mates say it was an intruder who came into their home, took a knife from the kitchen, and killed their friend. as he slept in the guest room of that swann street house. this afternoon defense filed a motion for acquittal. they say the government's case is based on inference, conjecture and speculation. the judge is expected to rule on this motion tomorrow morning. back to you. >> all right. pat collins, thank you. a worker was assaulted by a man with a gun and a recycling bag. plus,

hospital are performing a new procedure that is letting women getting back to being themselves in as little as a week. here's the news for your health report. >> excruciating. it almost like labor pains time five. >> reporter: 37-year-old april wiggins suffered for years from painful uterine fibroids and it was starting to affect her life. >> it is definitely difficult. you have to limit your activity standing up, walk around in the mall, doing things with your children. >> reporter: pain medication, hormone therapy, nothing relieved her painful one option remained. a hysterectomy to remove her uterus altogether. >> my mom and the other women in my family, my aunt, they had had that procedure as well. i just remember that it took a very, very long time for them to recover. that was the main thing. >> reporter: traditional hysterectomies involved a big abdominal incision that can take four to six weeks to recover. many patients end up taking strong narcotic pain medication. newer laparoscopic procedures using three to four small incisions offer a faster recovery but can still mean about two weeks away from work. now doctors at george washington university medical faculty are removing the uterus with one incision in the belly button. >> instead of getting at the uterus with multiple incisions from the side, they can go in through the same port and articulate and go to the spot we need to get. to. >> reporter: the obstetrician and gynecologist dr. jim robinson said they're still examining whether single incision surgery leads to a faster recovery. but so far, most of the patients say they're having good results. >> it is seeming like people are feeling ready to get back to the regular life in about a week. >> reporter: another benefit to this single ensignificanincisioo scar. she said she was back on her feet the day after surgery. >> i was moving up and down the steps very gradually. i didn't have any pain after. didn't have any side effects

the shooting at a prince george's county police officer at that time is now one of two men charged in the murder of trooper brown. prince george's county police officer responded to a report of shots fired here on new years eve on 2006. he quickly became the target. >> so many shots fired at me. i had to lay down in my car because you could their bullets by the window, hitting the car. i got out of the car and i started firing back at him and trying to chase him down. >> williams was charged with attempted second-degree murder for trying to kill police officer. if williams had been convicted, he could have gotten an 85-year prison sentence and william would have been at prison, not at applebee's last friday when he allegedly killed officer wesley brown after the offduty trooper working as a security officer kicked him out for being unruly. she have should have been in prison for what he tried to do to me. he should have never been walking the streets. >> reporter: cyril williams was not prosecuted for shooting or trying to kill officer ady in 2006. instead, the charges were dropped. williams was represented by defense lawyer douglas wood. >> the police had a number of suspects. among them being cyril williams. so no one came to court and could identify mr. williams. but in addition, in the course of that case, the police lost a gun that was seized from a different suspect. and so that i think impacted on their ability to charge mr. william. >> reporter: an attorney said it was because the police department mishandled evidence and witnesses couldn't be located and that's not true. the police department never mishandled evidence. it is true the officer could not identify the person who shot at him because it was at nighttime and he was under fire. our investigators found two witnesses that clearly identified mr. williams. and it was the failure of those witnesses to be properly brought to court that caused the problem. >> reporter: the prince george's state attorney's office said he cannot discuss details of the dismiss. a charges against mr. william in the case back in 2006, because of pretrial publicity restrictions. now that he faces trial for the murder of maryland state trooper wesley brown. we're alive in prince george's county, back to you in the studio. this video was caught on surveillance camera at the 7-eleven in vienna, virginia. a man

braddock high school students was released. >> imagine after four days, eating bread, nothing, not talking to anybody, getting kicked before you go to sleep. i can't even say in words. >> reporter:

charges and be allowed to come hole them say the fbi has a right to question american citizens, but citizens also have rights. >> the fbi has a job to do to deem our nation safe. but they have to do that job within the constitution. the fbi says it does not comment on the no-fly list. the family says they have not received apply from the justice department. >> thank you. coming up, we'll take to

say she is amazingly well adjusted. standing in the museum of moon scape, she said she can envision traveling there someday. maybe with parents she hopes to one day have. >> she really wants to have a assess of belonging, a sense of security. and i think a loving family that provides that would allow her to achieve her dreams and allow her to feel confident in achieving all of those things. >> i would like a family, a person that's energetic and going places. >> when it comes down to what she really wants in a family, she said when she thinks about it the answer is pretty easy. >> i don't really have a certain type of family. i just like everybody. >> if you have room in your home, and your heart for danetta or any of the children we feature on wednesday's child, call our adoption

covenants don't allow minorities to live there and some residents are trying to change that. although it is not enforceable, it is still not a ghint is about 500 votes away from getting rid of its past. residents are trying get to rid of a racially constricting rule. schmidt prevents minorities, specifically african-americans and asians from owning property. >> reporter: cape st. claire maryland is a small cottage community surrounded by water. the bay, two rivers and a creek to be exact. it is a place where families can bring their kids to the cape's private beach or fish off the docks. >> close to the park, the schools are so close and our neighbors are really what makes it as well. we have a great, great neighborhood. >> reporter: cindy and her neighbors recently got a letter from the association asking them to remove some surprising language in their community rules. back in the 1940s when the covenants were drawn up, it specifically prohibited african and asian-americans from living or owning land in cape st. claire. the welcome sign still touts the status as a covenanted community. >> this was set up as a racist subdivision. obviously the laws changed. and it is no longer enforceable and everybody is happy more or less. but some people don't like that the words are in there. and i agree with that. >> reporter: there are more than 2,500 families in cape st. clair. the association president said they've been trying to get the wording removed since 1993. >> over the years we've talked to many attorneys who have said the only way to do that is to get 100% agreement of all lot owners. >> reporter: maryland said an 85% vote can change it. gallagher said residents overwhelmingly responded with yes. but some have actually voted not to change the covenant. >> 63. 63 votes out of the 1,600 we've received. and a couple of them have written why they're voting no. and one of them said, it is unenforceable so why are we going through this exercise anyway. another argument is, it is part of history of the community. we ought to keep it. it is a wonderful place and we have this nasty paragraph hanging out in our documents and it doesn't reflect what it is. it is time to remove it. >> reporter: he doesn't believe the rule has ever been enforced. his next step is to go door to door in the community to get the votes needed. >> all right. elaine, thank you. in sports, haynesworth making a lot of news. >> if i were the redskins, my mom would say, you've got yourself into quite a pickle. this has blown up. this is a big, big deal. there is no telling how long the situation will last. he's demanded a trade because he is unhappy with the new defensive scheme under home mike shanahan. haynesworth's disappearing act since he was cut the $21 million check in april has irritated his coach and teammates alike. a short day one of mini camp put even more focus on haynesworth. day one of mini camp lasted all of 15 minutes before it was called. mike shanahan said he didn't want to risk injury by keeping the players out there. weather was just a handful of questions didn't pertain to albert haynesworth. a player who has been raining on shanahan's parade since april 1. >> we owed him a check of $21 million. we said if you take that check, we expect you to be the west defensive end, best nose tackle. if you play free safety, we expect you to be the best free safety. even if you would have to lose a little weather. whatever position we wanted to play him at, he would do the best job he possibly could. obviously, he took the check. and so i was surprised he wasn't here today. i thought once he took that check perk made the commitment he wanted to be a washington redskin to help our defense and to help our team win. and obviously, it didn't go in that direction. so quite disappointed. >> he is not the only one. the players were surprisingly negative when it came to haynesworth except for a couple. tonight van mcnabb knows a thing or two about deal with disgruntled teammates. >> promises were made and you know, things weren't, it wasn't what he thought it was going to be. from that standpoint, you've got to respect that. you have to respect that and hear his side of the story to really understand where he is coming from. >> things are a lot different. obviously, with what's going on, what's been said, nobody knows the truth. and i've had a chance to talk to him. things had work itself out and hopefully we'll get a chance to see him. >> there were a good number of players who sound like they don't want him back, including fellow defensive lineman who spoke passionately for several minutes and was asked if there was any resentment. >> to be honest with you, yes. every guy here has dedicated themselves to be here, to work hard and do what they need to do. he's one guy who is not buying in. >> when you decide to play a team sport, this is everybody else to take into consideration with the decisions you make. right now, he is not taking everybody else into consideration. it is about him. how he will benefit. i don't want to be here. this, that, and that. you're in the wrong sport. >> if you're wondering how haynesworth feels about, take it to the guy who was talking about it. >> he sounded like he was in pretty good spirits. i don't know how he could be upset. he didn't sound upset at all. >> he might be too busy counting the $32 million in 16 months he's made from the redskins. >> $32 million, 16 months. more than most of the teammates will make in their entire career. coming up, an officer attacks a jay ozzy osbourne's dna under the microscope and a seattle police officer decks a jay walker. all stories that may make you say, say what? we start with

massive spending could lead to a bubble like crash in our region. >> reporter: about 200,000 federal jobs here make up 13% of the washington regional employment. federal government contracting also pumps hundreds of millions of dollars into services and jobs. and it is fueling the fuflt. >> we think the outlook is good for the future. and it is better here than any other major metropolitan area in the country. and it is because we have a rich uncle. >> at a breakfast formed by a local group, the former congressman tom davis warned that overspending means tough time are coming. >> the government still drives this region. if there are some lurking clouds, we need to be aware if they are not addressed, the government is maybe the next bubble. we have some huge hostage term structural problems that will force some tough decisions coming from government. that will affect this region and affect all of us. >> the federal official who oversees all federal leegs warned that president obama's order to cut federal real estate expenses could have a big impact here. >> a lot of agencies have a hope, a dream that someday that piece of land they've been holing on to will actually get an
