friends who died, john hoover, spencer datt and haeley mcguire, said the judges' decision sends the wrong message about drunk driving. they called it a slap on the wrist for coffay whose blood alcohol level was still twice the legal limit when he was arrested three hours after the crash. coffay requested a review of his 20 year sentence in february calling it unusually harsh. today the judges panel agreed reducing it from 20 years to eight, a move prosecutors and relatives found hard to stomach. >> with the sentence today has effectively turned a knife that has been stabbed into our back. >> it sends a message that this kind of wanton excessive, willful and reckless conduct is more acceptable here in montgomery county, maryland, than it is in frederick county where judge theresa adams felt that a 20 year sentence was appropriate. >> before the judges made their ruling to reduce coffay's sentence, coffay told them there's not a day that goes by he doesn't regret his actions thabout 50

>> i think everyone knows when you give an apology, the time and the place is to do it face to face sincerely and you make it meaningful. this was the most unmeaningful apology we've ever seen in our entire life. >> if and when zimmerman is it released he will have to wear a monitoring device, follow a nightly curfew and have no contact with the martin family. an ocean city hotel faces a

to get outside in the yard tomorrow, but you've got some special advice. >> get it done by 2:00. 1:00 or 2:00, something like that. you should be in good shape. i think after that there's a threat for some showers and some thunderstorms. before that it looks like it's going to be okay. so no excuses. get out there and get that yard done. you may even have time to get it all done. then on sunday, monday, tuesday it's going to feel much more like i wouldn't say winter, but certainly late spring temperatures around here. we'll only be in the 50s. 603 in the city, relative humidity 72% -- 63 in the city, relative humidity 72%, winds out of the south 6 miles per hour. temperatures in the suburbs are really falling off tonight. it's 52 in culpeper, winchester, marchburg and hagerstown sitting at 60 degrees -- martinsburg and hagerstown sitting at 60 degrees and fredericksburg is 58. big storm system is developing this weekend and the upper levels, a trough will dig in here and that will help really form a fairly significant coastal area of low pressure and that will start coming on up sunday. tomorrow we'll have showers and thunderstorms in advance of all of this. as we get into sunday, as this coastal area of low pressure rides up the coast and as is always the case with these big coastal low pressure systems, it really depends on the track where the heaviest rain is going to be or typically in the wintertime we talk about where's the heaviest snow band going to be? in this case it will just be rain for us and the thinking here is that most of the heavy, heavy rain will stay east of i- 95 along the shore and farther up to the northeast. the cold air behind this storm system there could be some snow back down in the higher elevations of west virginia, maryland and maybe western sections of virginia. some cloud overnight, fairly mild lows, but it will be down in the 50s for about everybody. warmer tomorrow. we're headed up to about 80 degrees and we'll have a threat of some p.m. showers and thunderstorms. we'll go 80 in town, warmer south and west. this is tomorrow at 3:00. we should be all dry in the metro, beginning to see some showers and thunderstorms move into the west and then by 5:00, 6:00, broken line of showers and thunderstorms. some could be strong with gusty winds, maybe one or two go severe. that's about it and that depends how much sunshine we have tomorrow. heavy rain starts moving up with the coastal area of low pressure. look how wet we are sunday. notice the orange and yellow, the heaviest rain stays to the east of uses. at least that's the way it is now and monday morning, that's snow, folks, western and central p.a. down to the higher elevations. will we get some lakes? i think there will be a little -- some accumulation? i think there will be a little especially in higher elevations. 80 tomorrow, thunderstorms, chilly sunday, showers lingering monday, possibly tuesday. we're better by the middle part of next week. again nice tomorrow, cold rain on sunday. lindsay murphy is in with sports tonight and i just bet she's talking nationals baseball. >> this is the verizon 4g lte sport desk with lindsay murphy. >> hello, everybody. the nationals like gary said, got crushed yesterday. there's no way to sugarcoat it. the final score 11-4 in favor of the astros. however, the biggest test for a good team is their response. it started tonight against the new look miami marlins. ross detwiler was dealing on the mound six innings, three hits, no runs and he tied his career high with 7ks. he gets donnie murphy to end the second. carlos zambrano pitched well but made one mistake to rick ankiel and to the deepest part of the ballpark, his first of the year, a solo shot. it's 1-0 nats, but the defense would make that run hold up. ankiel, we know about his arm. how about his wheels? he tracks this down in left center field taking down the extra bases. the nats shut out the marlins 2- 0 improving to 11-4 on this young season. if you watched the caps play this year, you've noticed a very different looking team. a group that used to easily score three or four goals a game is now focused on defense. maybe that's the secret to playoff success. the capitals are tied with boston heading into game 5. this were questions heading into the playoffs, especially at goalie. braden holtby has been composed beyond his year last night stopping 44 of the bruins 45 shots on goal and this is days after giving up four goals in monday's game 3. in holtby's first ever post series game, he's not only good. he's great. is this the best game you've ever played? >> yes and no i think because in the playoffs it was a good game, but i think i might have had one that was better. >> we think he's going to be good like that every single game. he usually is. that just goes to show how good he is, how thick his skin is to be able to bounce back after four goals last game and people saying maybe the floodgates are open. obviously he did a good job and that's a very veteranlike i think response the way he played. the boys were back at practice today at kettler iceplex. nicky backstrom will be back for tomorrow's key game 5 in boston. his 1 game suspension is over. now addressing the benching by head coach dale hunter of the captain alex ovechkin. he played 15 seconds in the final 14 minutes of last night's game. according to both parties, all is well. >> of course, i want to be there, out there, but it's a decision, but for how they play it doesn't matter how many minutes i'll play. of course, i want to be there, but, you know. that's it. >> we've got to take a quick break. coming up london fletcher gives two thumbs up to his soon to be quarterback rg3.
