i m puzzled why they didn t go down that road. they re going self-defense the whole way, and there s no way they can make a self-defense claim. this is before, by the way, cross-examination has started, jon. when that starts, you know if i had her on the stand, i would very methodically go through story number one. story number one, i wasn t there. i have no idea. story numb two, it was two other people jon: two burglars. yeah, exactly. now finally she s saying it was her and so soft and meek, and, oh, this poor little thing, and this has never come out before, doug? but she came up with a justification for having lied twice, now she said she was going to commit suicide, so she panicked and told those lies. look, i admit it s a little bit strained. the lawyers did. jon: she said to a television show when they interviewed her she said no jury would ever convict me. right. jon: sounds a little cocky. well, and she s probably looking at the stats which does show that juror
hostage. we do know more details about the horrible things she had to endure, but she seems to have come through that with great resilience. what s key to that? is that just a personality trait, or is there something that can be done to help that alone? there are things that can be done to help ethan be resilient. we want his parents to maintain expectations for him, we want the community to come together and support the whole family, that s a really nice message that the community cares so much about him. we want to provide reassurance and help him have a new appreciation for what it means to be safe and how he can be safe and trust people in the world. jenna: and a big birthday tomorrow. got to mark that, right? the cake, the whole deal. it s good timing. jenna: it is. we wish him well. great to have your expertise. thank you very much. jon? jon: great news a that that little boy is safe. it has been roaming around on the red planet for more than six months. next, see how the m
that job. this particular rock, jenna, was chosen for the drilling experiment because scientists say it shows signs of having been exposed to liquid water at some point long ago. of let s hope the drill bit doesn t snap off. we ll keep you posted on what nasa comes up with. jenna: fingers crossed. jon: i think nasa buys more expensive bits than rick does. jenna: is it the price that effects that, jon? i don t know. jon: we ll see. hey, here s a story about how it pays to be nice to the judge. are you serious? i am serious. adios. [laughter] jon: what that young woman did in court has her cooling her heroes in the slammer for an extra month. and, oh, how the mighty have fallen. he offered his king tom for a horse. kingdom for a horse. why the bones of richard iii were found centuries later in a burial not fit for a king. a member of the team that found
pragmatic, useful, helpful agenda that makes your life work better. reporter: stoddard says cantor is one of the younger gop lawmakers trying to put forward a modern image of the party while still adhering to conservative principles. jenna? jenna: molly henneberg live in d.c., thank you. jon: right now, gripping testimony in a sensational murder trial. jodi arias about to take the stand for a second day in her own defense. she s charged with murdering her boyfriend by shooting him in the face, slitting his throat and stabbing him 27 times. yesterday arias told the jury about an abusive childhood at the hands of her parenteds. parents. a bunch of friends and i decided the last night i was there, we decided to sneak out of the house and hang out, and my parents woke up and found out when i came back. my dad asked where i d been, and i i had fallen asleep. he woke me up around six, and so when i sat up and i was disoriented because i had been

[laughter] well, a big day in space as nasa s curiosity rover prepares to fulfill its mission. it has a little something to do, this goal, with a drill and a rock. rick, you want to explain? reporter: good set-up, jenna. anybody who tinkers in his garage will tell you a little drill work is not a big deal, but it becomes one when the work is being done on mars. curiosity landed on the red planet last summer, and nasa has been slowly gearing up for this big drilling attempt. it s the first of the mission. the rover s arm-mounted drill will try and bore about an inch hole into a giant rock, and doing that will allow scientists to examine it for signs of past habitability, whether the red planet could have ever supported life. that s the goal of the entire $2.5 billion mission and the ability to drill down into rocks and other surfaces is seen as a real key to being able to do
