He set aside the weekend to spend time with his wife but when he got home to the mansion she greeted him with anger. She was yelling at me. I was heart broken that maybe this was the end of our marriage because we just couldnt communicate anymore. As evidence of the break down an email mcdonnell wrote to his wife that weekend was introduced as evidence. On the monitors jurors could read i am completely at a loss as to how to handle the fiery anger and hate from you that has become more and more frequent. I am exhausted from getting yelled at. The defense claims mcdonnell and his wife couldnt have conspired to help businessman Jonnie Williams because their marriage was broken. Mcdonnell began to answer for many gifts accepted. After the 19,000 new york city shopping spree mcdonnell says he didnt know about it until after Law Enforcement launched the investigation. He did know about the 15,000 check williams gave his daughter as a wedding gift after meeting her briefly. What did he think of the gift .

Only six people were arrested last night compared to 47 arrests the night before. Nbcs craig melvin has the latest on the mood in ferguson today. Reporter good day to you guys from ferguson. I can tell you this has been a very, very different day. We have only seen maybe 15 or 20 protesters out throughout the course of the afternoon. As you know last night just six arrested compared to 47 arrests on monday. We get the sense on the ground that the tide may be about to turn here. Law enforcement officials have told me that they feel good about where they are in terms of managing the protests and managing the unrest that we have seen so much of over the past two weeks. Meanwhile as all of that has played out the community continues to talk about eric holders visit yesterday. The attorney general promised that the independent investigation will be fair and will be impartial. Thats the very latest here. As you know, of course, the funeral is set for Michael Brown for monday morning at 10 00 a. M. Thank you, craig. The turmoil in ferguson is hitting close to home for a Community Leader here in the district, the head of a Homeless Youth shelter. A decade ago she conducted diversity training for the Ferguson Police department. Chris gordon has a look at what she says might have made a difference in the Michael Brown case. She is chief executive officer and president of Covenant House, Nonprofit Organization serving Homeless Youth in southeast washington. She says she opens lines of communications between police and the poor in the communities the officers serve. She says that is what is needed now in her hometown of ferguson. My family has actually been in ferguson for over 100 years. I was actually just there having left only a couple of days before the shooting. Reporter she shakes her head in despair watching the coverage of the protests and violence in ferguson following the Police Shooting of Michael Brown. Her family sent her these pictures from ferguson. They talk and email daily. Years ago dr. Henson was a consultant for the city of ferguson including its Police Department. When i did the initial diversity training about ten years ago there were three africanamerican officers on the police force. There are today which is part of that angst that i feel, three africanamerican officers on the police force in a community whose demographics clearly have changed and continue to change. Reporter dr. Henson says her job at Covenant House is to help youngsters get educated so they can find jobs and be productive. She has forged a good working relationship with the metropolitan Police Department to promote conversation rather than confrontation and hopefully avoid the violence that is occurring in ferguson. If it is going to happen in ferguson it would have happened in any community because there is outrage when we lose a young person in that manner and we dont have the answers to understand why. Answers are needed in ferguson, she says, because there is a family in pain. A community with unrest and a need to restore confidence in the system of justice. Chris gordon. How many people are in trouble with the law in the wake of Michael Browns death, more than 160 people arrested since the shooting august 9. Just seven of them actually live in ferguson. 20 were arrested for burglary or looting. Four arrested for assaulting the police. And the majority were rounded up just for failing to disperse.

News 4s pat collins is at one of the banks that has been hit with new video of the men who are behind the new scam. Reporter wait until you see these surveillance pictures. These guys are big and bold. They are out there doing their crooked little thing like the camera wasnt there. Rare surveillance pictures of skimming suspects at atms trying to steal Financial Information so they can tap into your bank account. They make no attempt to hide their faces. They linger in front of the atms for a long time. Police have enough video of these guys to make a documentary. They have the pictures. They just dont have the people. Certainly characterize these people as bold and brazen. Reporter and they are for the most part getting away with it. Unfortunately, we have not made a large number of arrests in these types of cases. Reporter in one scene you can see the suspect take the skimming device from his shirt pocket, give it the once over and then later insert it into the machine. They use these devices to steal Financial Data and then use that information to buy everything from gas, groceries to expensive electronic gadgets. These surveillance pictures were all taken in the month of july at Navy Federal Credit unions in Fairfax County. They were hit 12 times. Why navy federal . Police say the skimming devices are custom made for different atms. A few months ago they say it was sun trust. Last month navy federal. Next month who knows . These suspects create these skimming devices. They build them and they tailor them to various Banking Institutions and use them and use them and then perhaps move on. Reporter coming up at 6 30, a way to keep from becoming a skimming victim. In fairfax, pat collins, news 4. We have more on the scams and we can show you how to spot one, a skimmer on our nbcwashington. Com. A safeway to get around town. Why riding in taxi cabs could soon get a lot safer. No help from local firefighters. A final decision about what should happen to the First Responders who wouldnt help a dying man outside their station. It is a decade old law against fortune telling and witchcraft here in front royal, virginia. It is one step closer to being repe taking a cab in the district should get safer over the next year. The d. C. Taxi Commission Voted to install panic buttons in all of the citys taxi cabs. There are nearly 6,500 taxis registered and drivers have until the end of next june to add the buttons. The Commission Says the buttons will help both passengers and drivers in emergency situations. They are accused of neglecting an elderly man who collapsed and died outside their firehouse.

Reporter five firefighters were on duty that day at engine 26 here on rhode island avenue when medrick mills collapsed in this parking lot and died. All five face the possibility of being fired. But today the department announced only two will be briefly suspended. The death of medrick mills sparked outrage in the community and in the department. It would take some reflection to think about what i could say to the family given the fact that we failed them. Reporter the mills family demanded justice and accountability. District leaders promised a transparent investigation. Once the trial boards were convened to determine wrong doing and recommend discipline the press and victims family were ordered out of the proceedings which were all held behind closed doors. Today the board issued the recommendation for three of the firefighters who are still on the department. One firefighter suspended, one firefighter reprimanded and one firefighter exonerated. I think the penalties were unacceptable. Reporter on that point the chief and the mills family agreed. The mills family is deeply disappointed but not surprised by the secret trial board panel investigationsism the isis what happened when investigations are done in the dark with no transparency and there is no accountability the familys attorney met in the email. Chief jones said the rookie was not subject to a trial board. The rookie gets proposed disciplinary action and then serves out the penalty. His suspensions will be coming just like those who have been suspended. Reporter jones points to lieutenant davis as most responsible. Because she retired before the trial board could issue discipline she was able to leave with a full pension. Jones tells news 4 lieutenant davis should have been fired. This system, the disciplinary process is broken and needs to be fixed. Reporter because of the firefighters contract with the district the chief is bound by the trial boards decision. I spoke with medrick mills father and she said she had no idea the decision was held down until i called. We will tell you what could be done in the future to hold firefighters more accountable.

Reporter today in a press Conference Marking the anniversary of ambers death police say they have talked with the foster child and spoken with nearly 100 other witnesses and are not able to name a suspect or motive and are not saying amber was the target. We are not receiving information saying Amber Stanley was a specific target. Again, to go into further as to what the motives were im going to echo what the captain brought up.

With a mounden back drop this is a community that cherishes faith and freedom. A half century old law is challenging that for some residents. I was shocked that we have this law still on our books. Reporter councilman brett herback is referring to the law that bans the magic arts including fortune telling. Reading tarot cards and practicing the socalled magic arts if some people it is an entertainment vehicle. For some people it is a faith issue. I dont think that is introducing any kind of moral corruption into our community. Reporter the issue first came to the Town Councils attention after a local tarot card reader was asked to stop practicing her craft. They want to be treated like a Catholic Priest or baptist minister but they are not. Reporter councilman tom theyer supports the ban. There is no regulation at all for fortune telling. We would be it. Some of those supporting the ban tell me the reason they are behind it is because they believe it will keep the town away from moral corruption or crime. One mother comparing it to gambling telling me the reason she chose to move here was to keep her kids away from the socalled temptations. These kinds of businesses do tend to attract in part the criminal element. I dont like the ideas of my kids having possibly criminal people lurking around main street.
