Africanamerican man in texas. Also tonight, the husband of a brain dead pregnant woman says she never wanted it to end this way. Hooked up to a machine, the hospital wont disconnect. Now a new development, hes taking the case to court. And the strange and terrible case of a man who shoots and kills someone for texting in a Movie Theater and is claiming selfdefense by getting hit by something witnesses say was nothing more than a bag of popcorn.
