Pelley today, the Nfl Players Association received official confirmation today that former Baltimore Ravens running back ray rice is suspended indefinitely for punching his thenfiancee in an Atlantic City hotel. Rice was initially suspended for two games, but nfl commissioner Roger Goodell made it indefinite on monday after video surfaced that showed the attack. Goodell insists he did not see the video before this week. One person who did see that video months ago was the local prosecutor. And now, some are questioning his decision to let rice enter a Counseling Program instead of facing trial for assault. Elaine quijano has been looking into this. Reporter Atlantic County prosecutor jim mcclain says ray rice did not receive special treatment by avoiding jail time and probation. Despite having strong evidence that rice assaulted his then fiancee, janay palmer, inside a casino elevator, prosecutor mclain signed off on an agreement which allowed rice to enter a pretrial intervention program, often called p. T. I. Rice could have his record wiped clean if he completes anger management counseling. Former bergin county, new jersey, prosecutor ray flood says it was the right call. I dont in any way fault the judgment made by the Atlantic County prosecutor to admit him into the program. Reporter she was knocked unconscious. But when i talk about, you know, the Legal Definition of serious Bodily Injury in new jersey, which is what you would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt for an aggravated assault, that means there would have to be the a substantial risk of death. Reporter but former Atlantic County prosecutor David Glassman says rice got off too easy. I dont think p. T. I. Was intended for these types of cases. Theres no question that what you saw on that video could have easily been a death blow. Reporter the debate is now about the law. In the last year, 7,082 cases were resolved through new jerseys p. T. I. Program. Those eligible generally have no criminal record in the prior five years. The prosecutor then has the discretion to look at the circumstances surrounding the crime and to consider a victims wishes. New Jersey Senate president Stephen Sweeney the thing that troubles me the most here is we watched a woman be savagely beaten and a slap on the wrist, and if there nts no special treatment and this was the routine process, we in new jersey and i dont know about other states we in new jersey have to relook at our laws on Domestic Violence because its not acceptable. Reporter prosecutor mclain declined our repeated requests for an interview, but earlier this week, he told a local newspaper, i just want people to know the decision was made after careful consideration of the law, careful consideration of the facts, hearing the voice of the victim. Janay palmer did support ray rices application to enter the p. T. I. Program. As for law, scott, senator sweeney says he has asked the state attorney general to review the prosecutors decision. Pelley elaine, thanks very much. A worldfamous athlete shoots his girlfriend to death. He claims it was an accident, but hes prosecuted for murder in a dramatic trial that holds the attention of millions around the globe for months. Today, the verdict in the case of oscar pistorius, the disabled olympian known as the blade runner. Debora patta is in south africa. Reporter the celebrated track star stood passively as the judge read out her verdict. Guilty of culpable homicide. Reporter guilty of manslaughter, but cleared of murder. Judge Thokozile Masipa said she believed pistorius shot his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp, by accident, mistaking her for a burglar. It cannot be said that the accused did not entertain a genuine belief that there was an intruder in the toilet who posed a threat to him. Reporter pistorius was also found guilty of negligence when his gun accidentally went off in a crowded restaurant. In a country still struggling with issues of race and violence, reaction to the verdict was swift. T. Rensic scientist dr. David klatzow told us he was astounded at the decision and he believed lde judges interpretation of the law was wrong. Was justice served . He i dont think so. I think that theres a problem, and i think that it is a step backwards for a Violent Society pere there are a lot of people out there with guns. It sends a very negative message out to the country. Reporter klatzow said he couldnt understand how the judge came to the conclusion that pistorius didnt intend to kill steenkamp after he fired not one but four shots through the bathroom door. But masipa said pistorius tried to resuscitate an unconscious steenkamp, which was inconsistent with someone who wanted to commit murder. The Steenkamp Family sat stone faced, but her friends could not hold back their tears. Pistorius and his family looked relieved. Sam taylor, a former girlfriend who testified in the trial, spoke out today against pistorius. Taylor said that twice hed been so drunk and aggressive that shed hid his gun in fear for kir life. He was kind of like, wheres my gun . I need my gun. I cant go to bed without my gun. I thought if theres a gun around, anything can go wrong, so i prevented it as much as i could. Reporter culpable homicide is a serious conviction in south africa, but sentencing is entirely at the judges discretion, and could range from a fine to 15 years behind bars. But the prosecution is bitterly disappointed with todays ruling and will consider whether it appeals the verdict once that sentence has been handed down. That will take place on october 13. Pelley debora patta outside the high court in pretoria. Debora, thanks very much. And cbs news will have more about the pistorius case on a special friday edition of 48 hours. Thats tonight at 8 00, 7 00 central time. Today, the u. S. Military told us it conducted two more air strikes in iraq to protect the mosul dam and the kurdish capital of erbil from isis fighters. Over the past month, the sunni terrorists beheaded two american journalists in retaliation, they said, for u. S. Attacks on isis targets. Tonight, david martin has new details of the attempt earlier this summer to rescue them. Reporter the attempt to rescue american hostages james foley and Steven Sotloff was larger than the raid which killed osama bin laden. Between 70 and 80 commandos took part, flying into syria aboard a small armada of helicopters. They hit two targets one, the building in which the hostages were believed held, and the other, a diversionary target. While part of the force hit the diversionary target, members of the delta Hostage Rescue Team hoarched the building where foley and sotloff were believed held. The hostages were gone, although there was evidence they had once been there. The commandos were on the ground for about an hour, and by some estimates, killed as many as 50 or 60 isis fighters, suffering one wounded when a helicopter pilot was shot through the leg. The Syrian Military turned off its air defenses during much of the raid for fear of drawing fire from drones and fighter jets circling overhead. The commandos had hit the right building, which had been identified through the f. B. I. s debriefing of freed european hostages once held with foley and sotloff. But u. S. Intelligence had not detected that they had been moved. One official blamed that failure on a decision not to put reconnaissance drones over the building between the time it was identified and the night of the raid. Other westerners, including americans, are still being held by isis, and uncertainty about their location is complicating plans for air strikes into syria. Scott. Pelley david martin at the pentagon for us tonight. David, thanks very much. The United States and the European Union hit russia with more economic sanctioned today for supporting the rebels fighting ukraines government. The american sanctions target russias largest bank, plus five defense firms and five energy companies. That could bring several offshore oil projects to a halt.
