jones knew the shooter and took part in the murder. jones is a six-year veteran of the force was charged with felony murder on tuesday and arrested. he is assigned to the narcotics investigation division. cathy lanier says a police officer involved in a murder is a cowardly and violent act. >> the worst thing a police officer can do is to betray public trust and in this case, the officer went far beyond that. he did so carrying our badge, wearing our uniform. >> if you commit a crime in the district of columbia, the police will find you and hold you accountable. that also aemployed to d.c. government employees, as you've seen today. >> two others were arrested in the murder. investigators are still trying to determine how long jones had been working with those suspects. jones is scheduled to be arraigned here at d.c. superior court on those felony murder charges later today. live at the courthouse, sherry ly, fox 5 news. in the meantime, new details on an escaped suspect back

station in gaithersburg but crashed into a tree during the police pursuit. he fought off an officer we'll be treated at the shady -- while be treated at the shady grove hospital after he was taken

israel well within range. iran's defense minister said the high-speed missile would sve as a strong deterrent against an attack. this comes one day after the military intelligence chief says iran has enough nuclear material for a war head. we're following two developing stories regarding kim jong sill, saying he has taken every other day off because of a bout with chronic largitis. the president sent him a personal letter in order to draw him back to nuclear disarmament talks. the letter was delivered last week. no word on whether kim has responded to that letter. now to a story we first brought you on fox 5. this is donald gates walked out of prison yesterday. he was freed by the same judge who put him behind bars for a murder the judge believes gates now never committed. gurvir dhindsa is back with more on this case. >> such a remarkable story. right before the holidays. gates was convicted in the 1981 murder of a georgetown student in rock creek park. he was sent to serve his sentence in arizona. this morning he's waking up in ohio and getting his first taste of freedom in nearly three decades. >> reporter: this is donald gates on his way to akron ohio for a -- a reunion with his sister. gates asked for dna testing as far back as 1988. but it wasn't until new evidence was discovered 20 years later that gates finally got his wish. we spoke with him if the tucson, arizona, bus station a few minutes after his release. >> i'm happy that i'm a freeman and i'm going home. and i'll talk to you later. that's all i want to say. >> reporter: in the summer of 2008 inside of the office of the chief medical examiner, d.c. police detective jim trainham found evidence nobody new existed. six slides used in the autopsy of katherine schilling. >> it was all a team effort, its u.s. attorney's office and realizing this is an issue to be addressed and i was just a facilitator. >> reporter: two labs both returned the same results. donald gates could be excluded. >> mr. gates is fighting to prove that he's innocent of this crime since the moment that he was arrested. as the judge said in court in 1988, he order additional dna testing but its technology was to primitive at the time to get results. >> reporter: at sentencing gates said i didn't kill her. i never saw her. i'm sorry she died because her death has rueib -- ruined my life. the informer, i never saw him before. i would hope to return to society, raising a family, having a place of my own. judge said he was appalled to learn the fbi agent who testified was later discredited, singled out by the inspector general in 1987. the agent testified two of donald gate's pubic hairs were found on the victim's body, evidence the prosecutor said was crucial to the case. michael p. malone has been exposed as a liar who testified falsely and fabricated results, who testified outside of his expertise and whose laboratory notes did not support the conclusion he offered in court. >> there are two victims in this case. there is katherine schilling, 21 years old, brutally raped and murdered, and there is also mr. gates. he's a victim also through the results. whoever this unknown man is, two lives destroyed. absolutely. >> reporter: the two sides will be back in court next week where a second series of dab tests are -- dna tests are expected to clear donald gates for good. until then he's a freeman with a murder conviction. >> in addition to freeing donald gates, the judge ordered an investigation of the u.s. attorney's office. the judge said he was appalled to learn the in spector general knew about the shoty work of the fbi special agent and never passed on to the defense until last week. court records show the u.s. attorney's office knew about the findings as recently as 2004. the question is whether other cases may have been tainted as well. >> just remarkable that the man spent 28 years in prison. so we'll see what happens. there could be other cases too. >> sad story, guhe is free toda the maryland department of education has named six public schools 2010 blue ribbon schools of excellence. winners are picked on state and national requirements for

effort to go green has some drivers seeing red. several cities nationwide installed energy efficient traffic lights, but the problem is this winter they're discovering the new l.e.d. bulbs don't burn hot enough to melt the snow. they become crusted over during storms and that has led to dozens of crashes and deaths. authorities are testing possible solutions, including weather shields and heating elements, which will cost more money. >> equalizing the cost. >> right. a big day for supporters of same-sex marriage. the d.c. city council makes it legal for gay and lesbian couples to marry. up

the hill for a 30 day review. the city could start issuing marriage -- marriage licenses around st. patrick's day come march. the archdiocese of washington said it will no longer accept millions of dollars in funding for crucial social services the church provides if the legislation were to pass as it if. the archdiocese says since this legislation has been first introduce the in october the archdiocese of wash opposed the redefinition of marriage based encore teaching of the catholic church that man and women is in trinessic to the term of marriage -- intrinsic of marriage. this commitment is integral to our catholic faith. many packed into the council chamber to watch history being made yesterday. jessica and her fiance danielle moody were there. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having us. >> you were there yesterday. the debate has been going on about the bill for quite sometime. a lot of people have come out and talk about it. for you all this is something very personal. you are ebb gauged -- engaged. talkto me about what this meant to you. >> we are overwhelmed and thrilled that we are consider whole citizens here in the district of columbia and have the same opportunities and obligations as every other family and couple that lives here in the district so we're very excited. we are engaged to be married next year and so this is just a very sweet for us to do it at home. >> and danielle. >> this is just overwhelming. we're excited about this opportunity. although it was quite nerve- racking to have a panel of although favorable council members judge our lives and whether or not we can move forward like our neighbors do, without having to sit and wait for our judgment to come before them. but we are overwhelmed and excited. >> the two council members who did not support the bill, barry and alex ander and they both say the constituents don't support this bill. what do you say to the council members, but more importantly to their constituents? >> the first thing i would say is let's be reminded that those two council members have been very supported of the community here in the district and we appreciate their support throughout the history of their careers. so on this one it was a tough one and they had to listen to constituents that were decenting. but we have broad support in the city for marriage equality in general. we have over 200 members of the clergy who have stood with us and supporting us in our request for equality and we have folks from every race, ethnicity, religion and creed around the country who -- around the city who are supportive. >> there are people who say, well you can -- gay couples can live together, they have certain rights. why is it important to be able to the mariage, to have the sanctity of marriage and to have the ceremony. >> to be honest, we're planning our wedding and we're very excited about that. but there is also a feeling of angst that we carry around with us like a dark cloud. what if we -- whatf something happens to the other person during the time that we're planning our wedding. what if i can't be by her bedside or care for the way in the way that i know she'll be cared for because i don't have a marriage license because i'm not recognized as an equal partner the way any other couple would be and that's a risk that i don't think that any family should have to make. >> some of the opponents, the religious leaders have said that -- that this is a matter that they just can't -- you're right, there are about 200 people -- religious leaders who are very supportive. others who will continue to fight this and be up on capitol hill. it's very -- it's an issue that has been dividing for the religious community. how do you address those leader who's have been opposed to seeing the bill passed and who will fight it up on to the hill? >> onef the things that i think we both agree on is that we believe in democracy and it is their opportunity as citizens of the united states it be able to exercise the things they believe in and that's great. but we are thankful and appreciative that justice prevailed yesterday. and we're talking about a basic issue of equality under the law. and respect the religious leaders' opinion to perform or not perform maiages and what they're views are. but this is really about civil justice here. and it's equality under the law. and we think that the council ruled the best way that they could by moving forward with the equality. >> so the plans from here out, you get married next year? >> yes. we do. >> and you're going to do it here in the district? >> we'll be married in the district. >> hopefullwe'll follow you and talk to you again as the process goes along. >> thank you. >> the next move is the mayor has

at&t we're taking the lead - investing some thirty-eight billion dollars in our wired and wireless networks over the past two years. last year alone we invested more than any other public company in america. and at at&t we support a national plan that makes high speed internet available to every american family in the next five years - because we know that now is not the time to stall momentum or to stifle innovation or investment. the future is at stake, and at at&t, the future has always been and at at&t, the future has always been our business. at&t... your world... delivered. we have a

the afternoon high, more of the same on friday. 42 for the afternoon high. it looks like by saturday evening and early sunday, we'll have another coastal storm develop. we have to watch this one carefully because the computer models are suggesting it could brush the washington area and that could mean some wintry weather overnight saturday and into the first part of sunday. but it could also miss the area. so we'll fine tune that forecast in the next couple of days. >> thanks, tuck. tigers troubles continue. word that a moving truck was at his house yesterday. >> and we're hearing news that his wife elin has an endorsement of her own in the works. and plus -- i've seen these, photos of her new digs in sweden. >> so the home isn't that great, but the land is. >> you can never go

truck and we couldn't tell what they were removing because it was swarmed by security and we heard some workers showed up with ladders and went into the front and so we're not quite sure if they're

is at. there is rumors he's out of the countror on his yacht our down the street. so no one has seen him. elin has been out walking around, she's going in and eating lunch, going to gas up her car. so i think she's starting to realize, i can't hide forever so i might as well continue on with my daily life and people will ask me questions. there were some aggressive paparazzi yesterday asking her questions and she was like i'm just going to keep going on and some of the guys were like, whoa, don't ask her too many personal questions. take it easy on her. >> tell us about tiger keeping secrets? do you have some more secrets? >> from a long time ago. >> yeah. here is the thing. this isn't the first time he's had p.r. people trying to cover up his track. before he was even married he had picked up some waitress at a bar and they went in this car and drove down to some abandoned road and the cops pulled over and asked them some questions and let them go. but apparently the p.r. people talked to her and did some kind of crafty deal so she wouldn't talk to his good boy image wouldn't be tarnished. so they've been doing this for quite sometime now. >> and last but not least, back in the world of elin, she and her sister nice property. is it an entire island, dax? >> yeah, it's an island, it's 59 acres and we have photos of the inside of the main house there and it's kind of runned down, you see the drywall is falling off the walls and the paint is cracking. not a very face house but it has a bunch of little -- like buildings on the property or something like that. so it's a fixer-upper, worth $2 million. >> perhaps that was the caretaker's house. we'll find out more. in the meantime, dax, thanks for joining us. >> and you can catch tmz and dax and the whole crew right here after the news edge at 6:0. thanks, tucker. >> no problem. a missing dog sparked fear of a dog-napping but the suspect in this case is not who you might think. tony. well we'll tell you who
