reporter: j.c., good evening. this honor procession started on social media as a request for support. it ended here on main street in weymouth as a patriotic and emotional tribute. firefighters stood at attention and saluted. and a huge american flag hung high above the highway, as a hearst brought home the sean christopher o'connell was a staff sergeant with the massachusetts national guard, most recently stationed statewide. he had previous served three combat tours in iraq and afghanistan. >> good man. this just sucks, you know, to see that. he was still young. reporter: friends and family say o'connell was in maine when he decide unexpectedly for reasons still unclear to many. >> he went to sleep, never woke >> we have no idea what it was. something medical. we don't know yet. reporter: as the honor procession arrived at the funeral home, people saluted. the crowd gave way. and the casket was carried inside. sergeant o'connell may have died far from war, but that didn't stop him from receiving one final hero's welcome. >> there wasn't anybody who disliked him. he was the best guy i know. really tough day, tough loss for everybody. reporter: the guard says sergeant o'connell was most recently assigned to one of its warrior transition units. he leaves behind a father, mother and two brothers. >> house speaker rob better bro. our guest on otr, deleo says he's supporting the expansion of house speaker, a big champion of unions, broke from tradition and announced he'll vote for question two, which lifts the l charter schoos across the state. he says too many parents tell him their children are stuck. >> this is the way those children are going to have a better opportunity in life, is through a good education. some of those students, charter schools is the answer. i like options. reporter: usually an ally, the boston mayor disagre. have tremendous respect for the speaker. however -- reporter: money from the public schools follows them. the state has a program to reimburse local schools. >> we had to pay to make everyone whole. next year we're projected to lose $25 million. reporter: but the speaker cites two recent studies. >> in terms of losing money, the money goes with the student. so in terms of so-called allegations of money being lost, that simply isn't true. those studies are wrong and cities get left holding the bag, forcing a battle between two systems. >> there's a place for charter schools but i think we shouldn't have two competing districts. at the end of the day, it's admitshe he's getting a lot of pushback from folks usually standing with him. >> i presume that probably after today, i'll probably get a little bit more. reporter: now, deleo said he is not ruling out increg reimbursements. one statewide study shows public schools are getting only 63% of the reimbursements owed them. >> self-driving cars may hit the road in massachusetts as early as the end of this year for testing. how do we know they're safe? governor charlie baker is setting up a group to lay down the rules of the road, which will mandate a human inside those cars at all times. the city of boston is also putting together its own guidelines for self-driving come, the nation's popular panda is moving. >> we're talking about the panda leaving the u.s. the new place he will call home. >> a brutal, painful treatment. >> children begin to... >> is it torture, or is it treatment? 5 investigates on what a massachusetts judge may decide about this controversial therapy for theov dear fellow citizen, time spent with my son really makes me appreciate "the now". but i also have to plan for my family's future. and that means taking on debt. in a smart way. like my mortgage - it's working for me. and if he needs a college loan down the road, that'll be worth it too. it's all about having a strategy, that fits your life. so, if you have a question about how to make debt work for you, ask me. i just want what's best for my kids. when i hear arguments that massachusetts needs more charter schools, i think: what about the students in all of our schools? every new charter takes away more money from the existing public schools. that's 400 million dollars, just last year. we can't afford to drain even more money from our kids' schools because they're already losing so much. i'm not just standing up for my own kids; i'm fighting for yours, too. andrew crossley: new hampshire has a senator as hard as we do. gerardine ferlins: kelly ayotte believes in the potential of new hampshire, and wants to unleash that potential. ron goguen: she's out there fighting for good-paying jobs. andrew crossley: kelly introduced bipartisan training initiatives to make sure we have the skills for the 21st century. sue winter: she's fought against workplace discrimination - and for equal pay. claude poisson: she's working for the little guy - i'm the little guy. barb fredette: we need kelly fighting for good new hampshire jobs so our kids can raise their families here. sue martin: kelly is a powerful voice for new hampshire's working families. >> you're watching news 5 at 5:30. >> imagine you go through all the trouble to build a spacecraft, then send it millions of miles to mars it. >> what? >> that's what happened to the mars lander. it's missing. it was supposed to land on the planet yesterday. it did descend through the atmosphere, but the european space agency says it has yet to receive a signal from the craft from the other side. the spacecraft will only operate for up to 10 days before its batteries run out, so they've already missed 10% of the time. bao bao the panda is on the move. tonight, the three-year-old who washington, d.c. is scheduled to head to china this winter as part of a loan agreement with china. she will join her older brother in a breeding program, just before she turns four. the national zoo is shipping her back to china via fedex but says, don't worry, she'll have plenty of bamboo for the journey. >> take a look at this monster catch. a giant lobster, caught off the coast of bermuda. it weighed in at 14 pounds. the men belief rough surf may have lobster closer to shore. they took several pictures, then returned the lobster back to the water. so he's back with his friends and family. that's good. >> maybe, maybe not. they've been together for decades. but now metlife is ditching snoopy! he got the boot. >> up next, the insurance giant explains why it is time to part ways with the face of the company. harvey? >> well, it was kind of time for us to part ways with the warmth to some extent. now the next thing up is wet still concerned about that but >> metlife is breaking up with snoopy and the peanuts gang after a more than 30-year relationship. the insurance giant says it's launching a new global brand and snoopy and friends don't fit. the new brand will feature blue and green colors, together in a symbol of partnership to form an the new image will be rolled out through 2017. jetblue has unveiled the start dates for its service to havana. it will take off from j.f.k. on november 28. that flight will launch daily service from havana to j.f.k. and the second route will take off a day later when jetblue begins daily service from orlando. the third route will take off on november 30 out of fort lauderdale. >> new research finds checking or savings account. a survey finds the number of people without a bank account fell to 7% last year. the improvements mostly came from households making less than $15,000 a year. the government says it's an encouraging sign that the economy is improving. the fate of a controversial treatment for the disabled, used only in massachusetts, is now resting with a judge. coming to an end. we want to warn you, some of this material may be disturbing to watch. reporter: psychology professors experiencing the painful electric shocks given to clients in canton. these experts testified for the state in an exhaustive trial, ending just this week. the state wants to ban the shocks for good but needs a judge to end a 30-year-old court order, a consent decree that's kept the practice alive. here because under the decree, plaintiffs say jrc has a permanent guarantee to use a brutal, painful treatment not used anywhere else in the world. reporter: an attorney for the state telling a judge during closing arguments this week why it's time to end the shocks. weeks of testimony here received scant attention outside the taunton courtroom. [screaming] reporter: the public has had just a few glimpse of the shocks footage of a student, restrained and shocked for hours. >> no! no! reporter: it was not part of the trial but helped fuel widespread opposition. the center has never stopped fighting to be able to use the shocks, claiming they change lives. >> paul peterson's son would reach down and gouge out his own throat. dr. shears' daughter banged her head so many times that she detached her retinas. these children were treated at the most respected the country, one after another, and they received every kind of drug. all without success. reporter: an attorney for parents of the center students, say desperate family members turned to the shocks as a last resort, to save them from places like these, time-out rooms inside a state-run facility for the disabled. >> the children began to have a life, to have social relations with their parents and others, to go home, to become human with a probate court judge. on the one side, the center argues the state will stop at nothing to end the shocks, no matter the cost. >> cut them off from what has changed their lives and the lives of their parents. just set them adrift. collateral damage for the greater good. reporter: on the other side, the state says the shocks are ineffective and cruel. >> jrc has used electric shock and it is a pariah treatment outlier, a form of treatment universally condemned outside of jrc. >> a judge has not said when she expects to issue her decision. no one is expecting a decision soon. the federal government is also considering banning the devices that deliver those shocks. >> all right. it's been a nice couple of days. i even thought this morning was pretty nice. sun came out for a little bit. mild. i guess this signals the end. >> kind of, for a while. there is rain, most of it north and west of us. but there's a little bit developing just south of the islands. i think that's how we get wet later on tonight. lots of interesting things to share with you. the hurricane season already has been a little bit more active than average. might not be quite done yet. we've had nicole, of course. do we get otto? we're not that far from getting otto. there is this tropical disturbance, there. looks like a center of circulation may be trying to form. i'm not sure if it will get a name or not. if it does, it will become otto. whatever it does, the actual track is pretty far south and east. but its circulation, especially its moisture, may enhance rainfall that we would otherwise get anyway. but we may get somewhat more. this is the system from the west that's approaching. that will be our off-and-on wet overnight, low clouds to the south, little episodes of drizzle or showers. that's going to start lifting northward. so i do expect it to get more and more moist as we go through the night. dry to start but now damp at times later on tonight, as the green areas coming through. also means it could be damp or misty, maybe even foggy for the morning commute. not likely to have heavy rain but probably damp. if we get heavy rain, then chances increase friday afternoon and night. it would be a little moisture that tropical system out ahead of the front that's approaching from the west. then those bands would tend to move north. at least the heaviest bands by saturday. not out of the woods saturday because a broad area of low pressure is still going to be around, so i still expect a lot of crowds and showers to move through the area on saturday. interesting, because i don't think we're windy for saturday morning. we start to get windy by saturday night. then we are quite windy on sunday. but all of that, as cold air moves in. that, especially the mountains of vermont, may get snow squalls out of this. that would occur either overnight saturday night or perhaps as late as sunday, as the cold air moves in. now, how much rain are we going to get out of this? i don't think this is completely reliable. i'm looking at different computer models. they're all over the place. very hard to say where those heavier bands of rain will set up. one possibility in the berkshires and another one over southeastern mass, the cape, maybe before it moves completely to the east. temperatures a lot different than yesterday at this time. the highs, no 81's. but still it was in the low 70's in hartford and providence. wind is coming in off the water. that helps the low clouds and fog or drizzle form still it wa. temperatures will stay in the 50's to near 60. tomorrow the winds become a little more southeast. the air becomes a little more tropical. and the temperatures bounce up a and a little bit more of a tropical feel to the day. all right. there you see it. still a few showers. but i want you to notice the temperature trend. down, down, down and down through the weekend and early next week. the other thing, the wind gusts. they're not big on saturday morning. but by saturday night, they start picking up. and it's a very windy day on sunday. so for the charles, the wind could be a factor on sunday more so than saturday. sunday also the c days. even using the word cold at times next week. a sign of things to come. >> cold? all right. well, that means we're approaching the holidays. and here's another sign. nintendo unveiling its next generation video console, putting the emphasis on portability. this is not the right video. nintendo switch. the console connects with home entertainment systems but can also be taken on the road. form, it has detachable controllers. nintendo says an exact launch date and price will be launched soon. i'm sure it will be before the holidays. >> halloween, want a little fun? take a look at the monster mash garage. amanda of parma, broke out the paint. you've goot to be kidding -- got to be kidding! she created this neighborhood eye popper. a click of the remote and obviously the magic happens. to click that remote. >> she's going to wear out her garage door. >> it's a hit on the internet as well. more than 22 million people have watched the transformation! ha ha! >> it might scare little kids, though. >> especially when you approach, if it's lit up. i'm just saying. >> it should light up. >> tonight, fact versus fiction. >> a close look at the candidates' claims at last night's final presidential news out of lawrence. a girl grabbed on her way to school, repeatedly sexually assaulted. >> and new at 6, a story you'll see only on 5. police pull over a suspect who tried to ram a cruiser, only to spring into action to save that man's life. plus -- >> the lengths one building is taking to make sure you pick up after your dog. >> i'm mike lynch. this week's high five takes us uh, first of all, i plan to vote for donald trump. would you tell a child to aspire to be like donald trump?
