in a highly unusual step, a u.s. district court judge orders the state of texas to either retry willis or dismiss his case. he cites several factors including ineffective assistance of counsel and evidence contradicting the state s theory of the fire. ori white heads up the investigation. white, a college student at the time of the crime, is now the pecos county district attorney. jurors want as much forensics in cases as they can get. and in this case, the forensics were such that it allowed the jury to reach that conclusion. now it s up to white and his team to decide if that jury reached the right conclusion. we began to do a brand new just from scratch reinvestigation of the case. a lot of it was based on the forensics, the forensics aspect of the arson investigation. to help him, white hires an austin-based arson specialist
low, 37%. maybe dragging it down is americans realization that the law is a disaster. 31% approval rating on obama care. how many people think the law is working out well? only 7%. what s the white house make of all this? as ed henry knows, ed, are they so insulated that they can t even fathom the thought of scratching and starting over? reporter: i think panic may be a bit strong, but they re deeply concerned, they re worried. pick your adjective. bottom line, they realize the bottom is falling out both for the president s approval rating and approval of this law. if you look at this cbs poll, you already laid out some of the top-line numbers. when you dig a little deeper, it s only like 31% approval of the law. that is a drop of 12 points in one month. well, what s happened in the last month? you ve had the botched rollout and the president s broken promise about, you know, if you like your plan, you ll get to
and it sounds like it s all but a foregone conclusion that he s going to get in the race in 2016. chris christie has a hard time in south carolina in an early primary. chris christie has a hard time in some of the early primary in caucus states. i m a little more bullish on his prospects of winning the republican nomination than a lot of people are. i completely k knowledge i m not saying it s a slam dunk, there are a million land mines. but when we use the term moderate to describe chris christie, that helps him in terms of positioning for the general election. when you dig a little deeper and say, moderate, he s going to have trouble with the republican base. what does that mean? does it mean he s pro choice? no, he s pro life. is he supporting gun control? no, he s vetoing it. does he support gay marriage? no. is he for tax hikes? no. he goes after the teachers unions, the public employees unions. chris christie actually, when you start looking at the boxes that today s tea pa
materials, including an anti-tsa rant and an reference to a new world order. chris lawrence is in pennsville, new jersey, where the suspect is from. chris, his family members and even those who know him have been saying a little bit about him and how surprised they are about these events that unfolded yesterday. reporter: that s right. i mean, it came as a complete shock to a lot of people here who knew the family. but when you dig a little deeper, fred, and try to find people who were really close to paul ciancia himself, who had longtime social ties with him, it becomes very, very difficult. he grew up here. spent most of his life here. had only moved to l.a. about a year and a half ago. but i talked to one young man who knows his younger brother, who says it was very hard for him to think of even one person that he knew paul was still friends with, and kept in contact with, here in his hometown. so neighbors are very surprised
military shows a disturbing trend. 26,000 military sexual assaults last year alone. that s a huge increase from the 19,000 we had in 2010. even more disturbing, only a fraction of women report the assaults to a military authority. just 33%. it is not hard to see why when you dig a little deeper. mopping those who did report, 62 were retaliated against. nearly a third were socially shunned and a quarter said it was a combination of professional, social, and administrative retaliation. democratic congresswoman loretta sanchez hopes to change that. she co-chairs the women in the military caucus and is the top women on the armed services committee. she is co-sponsoring legislation for better whistle blower protection. she is in the guest spot. this is an important issue and we re very glad you re taking it up. i have real concerns about allowing sexual assaults to be adjudicated within the military.
