trial of george huguely. they're starting deliberations tomorrow morning and will decide what punishment he deserves for his role in the death of yeardley love. the defense admits that huguely played a role and claimed he had no intent to kill her. the prosecution believes otherwise and asked the prosecution to follow the law and paul wagner has more. >> reporter: the case comes down to this: did george huguly confront yeardley love to talk to her and in the process, accidentally kill her? or does the prosecution believes carried out a threat by kicking in her locked bedroom door, slamming her head against the call, stealing her computer and leaving her for dead. the prosecution spent days building a case that suggested he viciously -- viciously attacked her the night of 2010. there was the damaged bedroom door, photos of a bloody pillow, the testimony from an officer who began snapping pictures because there was evidence of violent crime that had occurred. they saw the black eye, cut lip and lasrate finger. the jury heard from police officers who found the computer in that dumpster across the street, a piece of evidence that could cost hugulier, clearly, if they decide the dell laptop is work more than $200. the difference between grand and petty larceny. the defense attorney thinks the theft of the computer which, huguely admitted taking may not ultimately harm him in the ice of the jury. >> and to me, throwing the computer away is evidence he was not intending to steal it in a traditional fashion. you sell it, you steal something and use it for yourself. he threw it away. >> reporter: prosecutors presented evidence from the medical examiners, and some two experts showing love died due to blunt force trauma to the head. and that is testimony they may wrestle with after hearing love had no significant trauma to the head and likely suffocated to death. and what may sway the jury is the videotaped interview that george hugely gave police the morning after the murder. the defense and prosecution have implored the jury to watch that tape as much as they wanted and to play it over and over again, both of believes it distraught huguley distraught for the first time. his girlfriend is dead. >> that would take first-degree meditated murder and premeditated murder off of the table and brings the jury to second degree, manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter. >> reporter: but he said that he didn't steal the computer and love opened the door when he came to talk. >> the jury has a number of charges to convery -- consider, including burglary, larceny and robbery. they can find him guilty of first-degree murder or have the choice of convict him of involuntary manslaughter, carrying the penalty of one to 10 years in prison. >> and we were talking about this. even if the jury convicts him, the job is not necessarily over. >> and they have the right to bring in witnesses and the jury will decide what that is going to be and they will tell the judge the recommended sentence. the judge can impose the sentence or reduce it but can't raise it. >> okay, they make a recommendation to the judge. the judge has the final say and can't go above and beyond what the jury -- . >> right, for instance, if the jury comes back and said we find him guilty of second- degree murder n virginia, the penalty is 5 to 40 years. >> wow. >> and if they say 20 years, the judge can impose that or reduce it. >> you'll be back down tomorrow. >> i'll be back down there. >> and appreciate it. five men went on trial for one of the most violent shootings in d.c. history. the violence began in march of 2010 after a teenager had a bracelet stolen. three teens died in a shooting on south capitol street and, over the course of eight days, five people were killed, nine others hurt. most of the victims range in ageing from 16 to 23. today in court, the prosecutor told the jury that that bracelet was made out of fake diamonds. albert hainesworth returned to a d.c. courtroom for an update on that probation. he pleaded no contest last august. he was accused of groping a waitress at the w hotel and that he's completed 83 of the required 160 hours of community service and if he fulfills all of the terms, the record will be cleared. the judge set the next hearing for august. french police detained dominique strauss-kahn for questioning and he is accused of joining orangeys with prostitutes paid for by businessmen. they want to know if he was aware the women were prostitutes and if he knew they were paid for with funds fraudulently obtained from a french

more than 30 years at miramonte elementary school. the judge in the case agreed to seal all of the court documents. >> and. >> i'm asking you to not poison the wealth. this will end up in front of the jury. the last thing we need is to have the potential jurors be prejudiced in any way, shape, or form. >> and a second teacher from the same school is charges with groping two students. the entire staff was replaced after the arrest. the issue of race and college admissions is in the spotlight. the supreme court is agreeing to hear the case of a white student who claimed she was denied the admissions to the university of texas. mark graber, professor of law and government at the university of maryland joins us tonight. thank you very much for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> a lot of people thought the case was going to be dead, the plaintiff is a senior at lsu. why do you think the court agreed to hear this case in thorough? >> i think they're interested in modifying ruder. the lower court said the past affirmative action governs the case. everyone on the lower court did so and that they taking it suggests they want to make new raw unaffirmative action. >> reporter: nine years ago, the supreme court ruled that universities could use race, not quoted as factors when determining admissions but they make up different then and how might they impact the outcome? >> reporter: he was at the center of the affirmative action cases and he may not go as far as justice scalia and justice thomas and say no affirmative action at all, but he may cut back and have stricter -- and how they use affirmative action. >> reporter: if the court finds the issue of race in determining college admissions is unconstitutional, what sort of impact could that have on higher learning and if that is unconstitutional, what sort of impact could that have? >> and that is watching the status quo. the colleges and universities will do what they have been doing. if they find it unconstitutional, i take the line by justice scalia or admissions programs and in almost every college can be revamped. if justice can be in between, saying he was wrong and that can you use is the race, a lot of us will make a living and decide when to use it and not and get it into the justice kennedy's mind. >> the court could hear this in november or late october, and you think ultimately this could impact the election? >> and they will hear the arguments and have that decision after that and that is not to have a dramatic affect. >> thank you very much for coming in. >> thank you. gorgeous day out there today. a little chill. time to pick up the temperature there out there. you know? it's not winter this winter without a -- us being near 60. >> that's right, when can

longing to be free and a government ready to offer asylum. >> reporter: here in section 27 of arlington national cemetary, you will find the remains of u.s. colored troops, many who fought in the civil war. 3800 of the headstones mark the final resting place of freed and escaped slaves who found refuge in life not far from this very spot. during the civil war, thousands of enslaved people found their way to union camps seeking protection from their confederate masters. tens of thousands of these men, women, and children known as contraband or refugees, flocked to the federal city and over time, the government had nowhere to house them all. >> you had overcrowding and disease and they decided to move the -- move them into the pure, fresh air in the country in arlington. >> reporter: in 1863, on this site of what was the grounds of the plantation, a planned community was established by the united states government. it was known as friedman's village. here, the formally enslaved would receive federal assistance, opportunities for paid work and the ability to learn the trade and go to school. >> they flourished. there were hospitals and two schools, many permanent structures, none which of are here today, but that did flourish. >> reporter: and this is a scale model of what the village looked like, made up of 50 duplex homes meant to house two families, places of worship, schools, a meeting hall, hospital, and a home for older and ill residents. and a pond all surrounded by green space. the growth of the village is noted in the growth of the student population and the first school started out with 150 students. later, there would be as many as 900 students, adults, and children in attendance. the village would thrive for more than 30 years and at the most crowded time, thousands of freed blacks called that village home and that siltment was never meant to be permanent housing and would be reclaimed by the government and eventually used by the nation's cemetery. >> by 1890s, it was very, very few people really left and the government was moving towards the establish -- re- establishing the village and many live in the local area still. some of the names that were prevalent. >> this is mariah, my great grandmother. and this is her husband charles syfax and my grandfather. >> reporter: he is able to trace his family's roots to his enslaved ancestors at arlington house. after the great grandparents received their freedom, they would live out their days in freedman's village. >> when i come here, i have a feeling of closeness to my family because i have researched it quite a bit and understand what they were thinking and going through when they were here, and their mods, the children they had to deal, and they allogroup to be successful people. >> reporter: the family's history is well-documented. historians like dr. tallmadge with the black heritage museum, are looking to preserve the history for generations to come. he's working on long-range plans to build a museum not far from the site of the old village. >> and crow don't want to be forgotten. there is more history. if we don't document it, it will be forgotten. >>
