Graham. For their families, its an end to what was an agonizing legal process, and we heard from each family about their daughters. We draw considerable pride in all that hannah achieved in her short life, mercilessly cut short by Jesse Matthew. His evil deprived the world of a great talent but hannahs enduring gift to us all is she enabled this wicked man to be apprehended. She changed the world but at a terrible price. No one gave up. We didnt give up. Law enforcement didnt give up. The media, you didnt give up. The community didnt give up. For 6 1 2 years you all were determined and resolute to find the top tier predator that hunted in this community. Reporter and i was in what was a very full courtroom as the judge asked matthew this. Heto she said, are you pleading guilty because you are, in fact, guilty of the crimes charged . He replied, yes, maam. Much more to come from court this evening, including the message that matthew had to the families. Thats ahead on news4 at 5 00. Liv
Bring a rain coat. Tom kierein is tracking some showers moving our way. Good morning. Good to have you with us. Were starting off very early on this Easter Sunday morning with increasing clouds. Looking at the radar, dont have any rain in the vicinity. So you wont need a rain coat yet. But looking there at the far southeastern part of virginia, just south of williamsburg over to norfolk, there are some showers there, but the track on these showers is moving off to the north and east. So it will stay well south of the metro area as it does track across the lower part of the bay and southern part of the Eastern Shore. So well stay dry here in the metro area for the morning hours. Its later this afternoon that we might get a few sprinkles coming through. And not as cold this morning. Were in the upper 30s under a mostly clear sky to our west. Send valle shenandoah valley. To the south temperatures in the mid and upper 40s. And forward through the day on this Easter Sunday, still might hav
Think twice before taking your eyes on off the road to look down at that little screen. You dont have to be out on the roads long to see it. Drivers texting. Some even cruising down the interstate at high speeds. We saw this driver rolling along at 60 Miles Per Hour today. He just kept rolling and rolling and 20 seconds later put down the phone. Here in Fairfax County police are using a law fillure to pay full attention who texting or distracted behind the wheel. Not a day goes by without noticing another driver texting while driving. The officers are doing what they can to enforce it. These kinds of violations have skyrocketed. In 2009, about 7,000 offenses. In 2010, over 9,000. Last year and this year, close to 12,000 offenses. Here in virginia, a number of bills are being drawn up that would make the penalties for texting and driving tougher. The problem is that in the commonwealth, texting and driving is a secondary offense. Meaning you cant be pulled over just for texting alone. C
