In sacramento. Well look at some of the state Assembly People are doing that breaks their own rules. Well take a look at the Affordable Care act. Bus first breaking news. That is the suspect in a deadly attack on a dodgers fan is a free man this morning. There is not enough evidence to charge Michael Montgomery with murder. This morning the victims father is asking for the publics help. He believes the stabbing was caught on cell phone video. Brian webb tells us he is making a plea for witnesses to come forward at todays giants game. Were told Robert Priest will be out here in front of the ballpark trying to find people who saw the attack or perhaps have a recording of it. A father trying to to get his sons killer back behind bars. They seem more interesting in speeding away. But Michael Montgomerys best friend insists what the family has said all along that michael felt outnumbered and afraid and pulled a knife for self defense. He is not trying to kill anybody.

And hes able hes able to persuade ross and Admiral Cochrane to go along with this. Ross, he takes them ashore, in st. Marys county and ross sees how poor the defenses are. And ross is, you know, an aggressive commander himself. He certainly has proven himself in the european wars, and hes eager to get home. Hes got a wife who is not at all happy hes been sent across the ocean to fight in this new war. So what they agree to is they dont commit to an attack on washington, but they agree that theyll land the forces at benedict, and go try to trap barney and based on the resistance they meet, they can make a decision as to whether or not to continue on to washington. Cockburns plans are zealously endorsed by one of ross officers. This is lieutenant george de lacy evans. This picture was taken much later, during the crimean war, where he commanded a d
