Will tell a family member, but 75 will tell a friend. Thats why we focus on kids. applause reporter this summer, more than 200 teens attended bostons breakup summit. Like, there are multiple different types of breakups. And it happens because you are incompatible. Reporter Lauren Astleys father malcolm was there, too. Yes, it is terribly painful to have someone break up with you. Its one of the worst pains in life, but normal and not to be taken as failure or as a cause for violence. Boys and men can step up together with girls and women and veto violence. We can change the environment. We could make it a safer place for women, a safer place for relationships. Reporter all through massachusetts, teenagers like these students from Lincoln Sudbury high school. Dating violence doesnt happen only amongst the internet. Reporter . Are working at bringing awareness to the growing problem of dating and breakup violence. Have you physically threatened your partner in any way . Reporter . Through class presentations. He hit me, but i know its not his fault. I made him mad. I know hes really stressed right now. But i know he still loves me. Reporter . And participation in dating violence awareness clubs, like this one at shawsheen regional high school. How many of you know someone who was or is in an abusive relationship . All of you . And i have to ask you, how many of you have been in one yourself . All of you . Oh, my goodness it happens more than people think. Yeah. Reporter these students say the dating abuse they experienced was emotional, not physical. And then, for our poster today, were going to do characteristics of a healthy and unhealthy relationship. Reporter they meet every week to listen and learn how to help classmates recognize the signs of an abusive relationship. That would be a sign that its not okay. Unhealthy relationships contain all forms of abuse. It definitely starts off with, like, the obsessiveness. Constantly calling or texting your partner. Calling you every five seconds. Like, breathing down your neck. Psychological or emotional abuse. When people are withdrawn, when theyre constantly feeling like youre not good enough. Physical abuse. Violence, feeling threatened by your significant other. You should never be afraid of the person you love. Reporter social media adds enormous pressure. The digital footprint that every young person lives with makes breaking up harder, sometimes humiliating. Its a recipe for disaster. The loss, the breakup, it. Its tweeted, its texted about, its facebooked. Everybodys electronically communicating about it. And what it tends to do is exacerbate the entirety of the situation. Anything that you say or do. And automatically its on facebook, twitter. Nothing is ever private. Its out there. I mean, you cant get it back. It can be a traumatizing experience. Its really scary. Its scary that a lie posted about you can be seen by the world. Reporter when Lauren Astley was contemplating ending her relationship with Nathaniel Fujita, she and her best girlfriends chatted about it on social media. We had a facebook thread with a list of all. All the reasons why lauren should break up with nate. Reporter so, what was on the list . Friends dont like him. My mom doesnt like him. Mean to his mom aggressive. Reporter aggressive was on the list . When hes drunk. Reporter theres no evidence nathaniel knew about the facebook thread, and no one ever imagined he would be capable of killing lauren. Her mother, mary, wishes she had seen the red flags. The signs although i think they were there were very, very soft, and i construed them as teenage, you know, behavior. And certainly there are things in retrospect that i would pay much attention to, like the amount of time not at my house, the amount of time he had her at his house, the fact that laurens friends didnt like him at all. Reporter these key girlfriends, her best girlfriends, didnt like him . Uhuh. And the numbers of times she tried to break up with him, that he wouldnt allow it, i think is another red flag. Reporter according to nathaniels family there was something going on with him. Something so private his Close Friends didnt even know about it. Something was not right. He. He reported to the psychiatrist that his mood was a one out of ten. Reporter ten being the highest, one being the lowest . Yes. This, despite being on track to go to Trinity College and play football, which he loved. cheers reporter nathaniels College Football dreams had been shattered. He was about to stand trial for murder.

Nate, do you have any comment . Then theres, like, the nate who i have only really seen in handcuffs and in a courtroom. All rise for the jury. Reporter on february 13, 2013, a year and a half after Lauren Astleys murder, her ex boyfriend Nathaniel Fujitas trial began. How did he look to you . He mostly kept his face down. When he looked up, he looked just not like any nate that id ever known. This defendant is guilty exactly as charged. Reporter prosecutor Lisa Mcgovern wastes no time in spelling out why lauren was murdered. Nathaniel fujita was hurt by Lauren Astley not coming back to him, and he killed her. In most murder cases, the question is who . Who did it . Thats not this case. Reporter defense attorney william sullivan, in his opening statement, admits nathaniel killed lauren. In this case, theres going to be two questions, why and how. How does a young man theres not any evidence of him ever laying a finger on this young girl how does he do Something Like this . I told the jury, youre going to hear and see some very disturbing facts. She died as a result of the combination of the strangulation and the incised wounds to her neck. Reporter medical examiner henry nields testified after lauren was strangled with a bungee cord, she then suffered a number of superficial wounds to her neck before her throat was cut. Why these superficial, shallow wounds . He did that to hurt her. Why did he deliver the gaping, deep wound . He did that to kill her. Do you recall a party on june 4 . Yes. Reporter the prosecution questioned Genevieve Flynn and other friends about june 2011, the month between High School Graduation and laurens murder. I saw lauren pick up her hands and push them down her side as though she was saying, just stay away from me. Reporter Hannah Blahut testified about that Graduation Party where nathaniel punched a pole holding up the party tent. Nate got angry that lauren wasnt talking to him. He was being aggressive because he was very drunk. Reporter mcgovern believes nathaniels display of rage was an ominous prelude to killing lauren. This is a Domestic Violence murder. This was perpetrated because of the relationship, which was a boyfriend girlfriend relationship. Reporter the prosecution is painting this as a Domestic Violence dating violence case. Correct. Reporter but the defense disagrees. Nathaniel didnt stalk her, didnt drive by her house, wasnt calling her, wasnt texting her. None of that was present. scattered applause reporter the defense wants the jury to focus on nathaniels behavior after graduation, leading up to laurens murder. During that time, those three weeks, would it be fair to say you didnt see the defendant at all . I dont believe so. His friends said that they didnt want to hang out with him anymore because he had been acting differently. Hes not hanging out with you guys anymore, right . Right. Reporter friends connor and r. J. Testify nathaniel had dropped out of their social circle. Itd be fair to say that people were commenting that nathaniel wasnt around . Some people were, yeah. We didnt know what was wrong with him, but we were worried that something was seriously wrong. Reporter and, according to defense attorney sullivan, something was seriously wrong. Nathaniel was suffering from a major Mental Illness. Reporter did it seem like he was slipping through the familys fingers . Thats a good way to describe it. Beth was a very concerned parent, and she always had been. Reporter remember, nathaniels mother beth had persuaded her son to go see a psychiatrist. His diagnosis major clinical depression. Not just that youre feeling down, but this was a major depressive episode. Reporter the psychiatrist suggested antidepression medication and therapy, but, according to the defense, nathaniel refused. He was just kind of isolating himself further and further into the summer. Lauren was worried that he was depressed, that he was going to do something drastic to himself. Reporter and it was laurens concern for nathaniel that would bring her to the fujita home on the night of july 3, 2011. The key moment is inside that garage, what happened at the time of the killing. Reporter at the time of the killing, sullivan says, nathaniel lapsed into a temporary psychotic episode that prevented him from controlling his actions or comprehending what he was doing. The defense is that nathaniel was not criminally responsible at the time of the incident. Reporter because . Because of the major Mental Illness. The defense i would ask you to consider is one of lack of criminal responsibility. Reporter its the insanity defense. Do you solemnly swear and affirm that the testimony you are about to give. Reporter defense expert dr. Wade meyers, a psychiatrist, evaluated nathaniel after laurens murder. What did he tell you happened when miss astley arrived at the house . They began walking towards the garage to talk. He remembered that he grabbed this bungee cord and put it around her neck and began strangling her. It was as though, he said, he wasnt controlling himself. It was his body acting while his mind was. Was disconnected from. From what was happening. Reporter meyers says nathaniel was still in a psychotic episode when he repeatedly cut laurens neck and throat. Again, describing not in control of what he was doing, but no emotional connection to what was happening. Reporter on march 5, 2013, closing arguments. There is no planning involved in this case. The bungee cord is a weapon of. Of opportunity; its just there in the garage. You saw the other bungee cords that were there. It was a brief onset of this psychotic episode. Say what you will about fairy godmothers, there is no psychosis fairy who magically sprinkled a temporary dose of psychosis on this defendant. Reporter prosecutor Lisa Mcgovern zeroes in on nathaniels calculated coverup of laurens murder. The evidence shows, yes, he took the car to the beach. He hid the keys in the drain. He changed out of his bloody shoes into another pair of sneakers. He drives Lauren Astleys body to the marsh. He carries it 36 feet into the water. He drives back home. He cleans up the garage. He wasnt exhibiting a single symptom of psychosis. He was criminally responsible. Members of the jury, Nathaniel Fujita chose to act. He chose to kill Lauren Astley, and his intention to kill and to murder was manifest. I know this boy. Nathaniel is not somebody who could kill. Its got to be Mental Illness. Its got to be something that caused the boy that i knew to be on the wrong end of Something Like this.

Reporter for friends and family of Lauren Astley, the threeweek murder trial was excruciating. Testifying was incredibly emotional for you. Yeah. It was horrible. I wanted to say the right thing, to make sure the right thing happened for her. Ladies and gentlemen. Reporter it was just as agonizing for nathaniels family on the other side of the courtroom. He seemed bewildered. I dont think he understands to this day why the killing of lauren took place. sobbing our children make mistakes, even horrible, horrible mistakes. That doesnt remove our caring. Reporter laurens father, malcolm, knows there are complex issues in this case. Trying to hold people responsible for situations that are murky and we dont understand very well, and trying to sort out the matter of Mental Health and how that applies in this kind of situation. Mr. Foreman, has your jury agreed upon its verdict . We have. Reporter after just one day of deliberations, the verdict. What say you, mr. Foreman . Is the defendant guilty or not guilty . Guilty. Guilty as to what, sir . Guilty of murder in the firstdegree, with deliberate premeditation and with extreme atrocity or cruelty. So say all members of the jury . Yes. Well recess until noon. The matter of sentencing will take place at noon today. Reporter moments after the guilty verdict, laurens father did something no one expected. He made his way across the courtroom. You walked over to the fujita family with open arms and hugged them. Why . I was mainly sharing grief and wishing them comfort in the ongoing horror that they face. Reporter an extraordinary act of compassion and grace from a grieving father. He is perhaps. Perhaps the most gen. Perhaps the most generous human being i have ever met. They are facing ongoing equivalent of torture for the son for the rest of his life. The court must impose upon mr. Fujita the most severe sentence. Reporter 21yearold nathaniel is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The court will rise awfully harsh. Nathaniel does not deserve to be thrown away. Reporter despite the outcome at trial, the fujita family believes Mental Illness drove nathaniel to murder lauren. Before his depression, he was a young man with limitless possibilities. Now, he is a warehoused person with a number. Mental illness is real, and nobody asks for it. When he is even going to apologize . Reporter do you have questions for him . I want to know when he started thinking about doing it. I want to know what she was doing when he hurt her. Was she screaming . Was she calling out my name . She went over to see that he was doing okay, and he killed her for going over to see if he was okay. She walked right in to this. Reporter laurens mother, mary, believes her daughters story should serve as a wakeup call. After you have broken up with somebody, you dont go and see that person alone, ever. I do think about lauren all the time. She loved her life like i loved having her in my life, and its not fair. He took her away from everyone, and she was, like, 18 years old. Like. This is laurens room. Her prom dress is in there, and a couple of other things that she liked. And i love to touch those. Its the closet thing i can get to touching her. Tomorrow, tomorrow i love ya, tomorrow. Its terribly, terribly tough, that sense of a future just cut off. Ooh, the daylights fading slowly the time with you is standing still. You know, when i tell people that lauren died, i wish i could just say my sister died, because thats how strong it is. And like, thats how i feel. Cannot lie from you, i. She was so happy about things, and she was just so much fun to be around. And i cant hide it, cant fight it. Life was much more fun when she was in it. Go on, go on. I do miss her every day.

Were finally going to see some warmer temperatures, bruce, as we enter the new work week and school week, but in the meantime, it remains unseasonally cool, and this morning was downright cold. These are the temperatures that we had. Normally, we dont like to spend too much time talking about the past weather but if you are a farmer or you have just a garden outside, the growing season is over officially, because we dropped below freezing throughout much of the dc metro area. In fact, the only place that stayed above freezing was at Reagan National and throughout the district. The low temperature is 35 there. The Freezing Point is 32. We were below that at dulles. Its the coldest temperature weve seen since april 4th. As i mentioned, that means the growing season is over. Tomorrow morning, a beg event. The marone corps marathon.

Reporter were told security protocols are in place but no different as a result of what happened last night. In addition to the metropolitan police department, the University Also had contract officers and event staff lining the streets. The alumni and students we spoke to say this weekend is about celebrating Howard University and its legacy, and nothing will put a damper on that. You cant cry over spoiled milk. It happened.

Looking at the Jefferson Memorial on the cam, it is fair clearly out there, but it is a high deck of cloud cover obstructing our view of the moon. Its 54 right now, a little bit of a breeze out of the southsouthwest, and the dew point is 30, which is a higher number than yesterday. The atmosphere isnt quite as dry. A couple things playing into the fact that were not going to see those temperatures fall off as much as they did last night. The cloud cover being one of them and also the higher levels of humidity. If you want to learn more about that, check it out on my blog on the weather page of wusa9. Com. We have this weak front approaching and bringing us that little bit of cloud cover. But no rain in our forecast for the next several days. So this front pass is completely dry.

That will change as the front moves through, becoming northwesterly, which generally brings us cooler air. But because were getting off to a slightly milder start tomorrow morning. 3242 overnight tonight with the partlymostly cloudy sky and west winds at 510 miles per hour. Tomorrow morning, very important for the runners, temperatures in the 30s as youre heading out, but it will quickly rise into the 40s as the race gets going. Mostly sunny, and thats one of the reasons those temperatures will rise quickly. West winds continue at 510 miles per hour. Then in the afternoon, a completely sunny sky, and it will be just a bit breezy, as that front moves through. Winds become northwesterly at 1015 miles per hour. And our high temperature, 5560. Over the next three days, our weather alerts remain green. 65 degrees on tuesday, and the first look at the sevenday forecast, we get even milder.

Dave owens is at bird stadium and has more on the game. They gave up 40. It could have been 70. Marylands defense turned in a great effort and kept them in the game when they had every excuse to get out. That triggered a response from the head coach who said, we may be undermanned, but we will not quit. Its kind of like a mentality. And again, we had a great mentality in a lot of those situations today against an outstanding offense. The coach does a good job of having everyone ready and always preaching about the next man up. To me, i feel like everybody was ready to play. And you just keep fighting, you keep working, and you keep doing the things necessary to overcome whatever comes your way, and to me, thats the role and the responsibility first and foremost with the head football coach, which is me.
