And liked to drink which you shouldnt have when youre running from police. Let me bring in justice correspondent evan perez who has all this great information from his sources. So as sweat is talking, what is he saying specifically about how they got out including that sledgehammer that happened to be laying around in the tunnel is. Thats right, brooke. Hes saying it really wasnt that complicated after all. It turns out that sweat told investigators he and richard matt found this sledgehammer to break a brick wall and make a getaway inside the prison and he said a construction worker eventually left the sledgehammer and that there were no power tools involved and the idea to kill mitchelless husband came from mitchell herself. Myth and mitchell were in a sexual relationship and mitchell said the opposite that it was matt and sweats idea to kill her husband and sweat also told investigators that initially, as you mentioned, that he and matt were getting along as they made the getaway bu
Good morning, Everyone Welcome to early start. Happy friday, im john berman. Its 4 00 a. M. In the east. Breaking overnight, new evidence that the man who has admitted to killing nine people may have been planning a much larger killing spree. A Columbia Police report say during a police stop in march officers found a part for an assault weapon plus 60 clips in the killers car. This new information comes as the killers family is promising to provide answers to the many questions about a the attack at some point in the future but in a statement the family says now is not the time. Quote, we would like to take this time to reflect on the victims and give their families time to grooe. We feel it would be inappropriate to say anything at this time other than we are truly sorry for their loss. After an appropriate time, there will be an opportunity to have questions answered but right now care and attention and support be given to the grieving family members of the victims. Along those lines

Thats where nine people were killed last month in a racially motivated church at another black church. To put this in context for you. This is not the first time this particular church has burned. In 1995 members of the ku klux klan torched the previous building in a series of church fires that swept lu the south. Despite all of this the churchs elder said he doesnt want to pass judgment. I need to withhold an opinion until an investigation has taken place. And again, we had heard there were two or three Christian Churches burned in the last two weeks. But whether that is a factual account or not, i dont know. At this point, our hearts simply go out to the small, hardworking congregation. Thats certainly troubling what happened. But at least six fires have broken out at churches in the southern eas
