after levy disappeared. fox 5's paul wagner live with the latest on today's testimony. paul. >> reporter: well, brian, this is an entirely circumstantial case against ingmar guandique and the prosecutor in this case amanda haynes said as much to the jury when she addressed them earlier today. she is trying to show a correlation between two attacks in the park that guandique has pled guilty to and the attack of chandra levy. they believe that guandique is guilty of all three killing chandra levy and the two other women. one of those other women halle shilling took the stand today and testified about what happened to her. she described in chilling detail and in very tearful, as a matter of fact, how this man came up behind her on a jogging trail and tackled her from behind. she then told the story about how she ultimately got away. halle shilling told the court she just wanted to hit the trail that day, listen to her music and escape, about the as she ran deeper into the woods the man she had seen watching her suddenly came up from behind jumping onto her shoulder and wrestling her to the ground. her voice cracking with emotion, shilling told the court, "i felt as afraid and alone as i've ever felt in my entire life." in a battle that lasted month more than a minute or two shilling had to think fast. when i saw the knife, i fought harder. i was scared. i toppled oh backwards. i panicked until i -- over backwards. payneed until i remembered something from my self-defense class. shilling stuck her fingers in guandique's mouth. he bit her, then ran off. prosecutors then called a woman to the stand who said she was stalked in the park around the time of levy's disappearance but she didn't tell the police until two years later. when asked to describe the man, amber fitzgerald said he was hispanic, slim but well built wearing street athletic wear but when prosecutor amanda haynes asked if she saw anyone in the courtroom who had the man's complexion, fitzgerald said no even though ingmar guandique was sitting just to her right. the other woman attacked in the park by ingmar guandique, we did not see her today. we expect she may testify tomorrow and through all this testimony sat susan levy, chandra levy's mother. she sat in the courtroom and listened to all the testimony. she took some notes. when she left the courthouse earlier today, she declined to comment. >> paul wagner live in northwest. small blogging from the courtroom during this trial. -- paul is blogging from the courtroom during this tile. go to www.myfoxdc.com

state. the people of our state of some of the most resilient, hard working and decent people anywhere in this world. >> reporter: his opponent former republican governor robert ehrlich has been trying to pin maryland's economic problem on o'malley. >> the leadership obviously is not what we need if we're talking about job creation in the state of maryland. we have double unemployment in this state. our business reputation has fallen dramatically. >> reporter: now here at the washington post, the paper's latest poll on this governor's race found that maryland voters are not happy with the current state of their economy, but that does not seem to have hurt the reelection chances of their governor. was there anything that surprised you in this? >> i think any movement is surprising. >> reporter:

track. >> the majority of maryland voter as prove of the way martin o'malley is handling his job. he gets far lower ratings when it comes to budget and taxes, of course. >> reporter: that double digit

looking shot out and we've had a little sunshine poking through, more sunshine this afternoon for some than what you had all day. we know a little bit of that sunshine really warms things up down to the southwest where temperatures for culpeper were 79 degrees late this afternoon, fredericksburg approaching that with temperatures in the upper 70s. talking about a little bit of rain and brian mentioned it, too, just a sprinkle here or there. we've seen some very light showers down towards st. mary's county, st. mary's city. you got just a light shower. now within the last few minute we've seen a little line popping up just to the west of i-81. it is moving to the east. it may hold together long enough to bring a shower to winchester, possibly even hagerstown up in washington county and if it holds together past 81, i could see how maybe it comes along and brings western frederick county and western loudoun county a brief shower. that is about it. looks like we really stay dry this evening. in terms of where we're going to be, there's still rain chances coming up this week. i just mentioned that tomorrow night into wednesday. it does look like it's going to stay in the 70s or right around 70 for most of the week. we will cool down friday and into the weekend, temperatures back closer to normal and right now i know it's only monday, but right now halloween looks dry and a little bit chilly with temperatures in the 60s. look at these highs today, 76 reagan, 74 for dulles and bwi was up in the middle 70s, too and we started off mild this morning with temperatures generally in the 50s, most of those locations in the upper 50s this morning, 72 in town, quantity co 69, fredericksburg 70 -- quantico 69, fredericksburg 76 and just about everybody in the area fairly

wednesday morning maybe even some thunderstorms and most of wednesday looks like it will be wet, okay? and then we dry things out thursday, cool off just a little bit. the real cool push comes late in the week for friday and saturday. notice temperatures only in the lower 60s, but until then middle to upper 7highs. >> looks great. thank you, gary. is homer simpson a catholic? that's what the vatican claims. a simpsons producer says not the case. the vatican newspaper recently declared homer and bart simpson catholic. the article claimed few people know it and homer does everything to hide his religion. the producer said the show has pretty clearly shown homer is not catholic, but he enjoys the attention the show is getting. >> well, did a simpson search on the internet. so i got this story which is one of the many, many amazing things that's happened on this show where an episode you produced six years ago the pope is looking at saying oh, i conclude from this that homer's a catholic and then the next thing you know it's all over the world and they're talking about it on the view. all this stuff seems like a dream to me. >> the simpsons currently in its 22nd season here

chris cooley now has a sprained foot saying his foot got rolled up on in the 1st quarter of yesterday's win over the bears and it's a little sore today. thanks for asking. speaking of the win, it was the skins defense that dominated, specifically d'angelo hall tying an nfl record with four interceptions in one game. he's the 19th player to accomplish the feat and the first to do it since 2001. his second interception in the 3rd quarter turned out to be the difference in the game. a 92-yard jog held up. the skins win 17-14 and that's the final. great day for d. hall and jay cutler, maybe a lesson unlearned. >> the secondary guy, you always feel like you got a chance to make plays. we knew watching jay cutler all week we were going to get some opportunities. didn't think they were going to come in bunches like that, but we'll take them. >> i've played against him before. there's no reason to shy away from him. it's hard to say with four picks against him but if we played tomorrow, i'd go at him every time if i could. >> let me get this straight, the guy picks you off four time and you keep doing the same thing? what are you going to tell me next, jay, albert haynesworth didn't play well? he did in his fourth game of the season, three tackles, a sack, two quarterback hits chug the big one at the skins 1 yard line helping to force the jay cutler fumble. it was a performance that definitely impressed the head coach. >> albert played exceptionally well. it's the best that he's played obviously this season, but looking at film last year i think it's the best game he's played since he's been here. played hard every play he was in, played 33 plays, liked what he did both in the pass rush and the running game, played hard. that's what we expect. sunday night football
