Steve. Ev the defendant edward nero onearo of the baltimore policehe b officers said he wanted theai judge to hear this. D he wanted to take eto the emotie out of it. No jury. No j things will get started rightgee away at 9 9 30 this morningisori opening arguments in court. In u we have videotape of nero of arriving in court. That is was early this week for Pretrial Motion hearing. Ia this is expected to last fivet days. Days. There will be no jury. Hes one of three bicyclethree Police Officers who made theeroa original arrest of freddie of fr gray back on april 12th off last year. Ear. At issue, did those officers off have that probable cause toha make the arrest in the firstin f place and leading to the Reckless Endangerment charge cha they cuffed and shackled grayled but they did not put him in a seat belt when they put him inen the police t van. V freddie gray died of a spinal aa cord injury a week later. Ek ler the Second Degree assaultegree s charge fence edward here in row is because prosecutors sayrs 33 werent justified making the they werent justifiedti therefore they shouldnt have put their hands on freddie gray. The legality of a knife found on gray can cannot be arguedrg according to the judge. J prosecutors say it was legal w l and therefore their arrest was unjustified. Un the judge is going to see some m of the cell phone videos thats t people who were watching the arrest took but hes not goingsg to hear the audio and in then t audio to take the emotion outtit of it, you can hear freddiefred gray screaming and people whoeol are watching this shouting, the judge himself ruled helled see the video he will not hear a the audio on that video and again guys people in this community would have preferredul a jury trial ajury by freddiede grays peers by the officers peers but the officer himself he made the decision i dont wante there. I want the judge to rule inoin this case. This Barry Williams who oversaw the s previous case, the hung juryg case of officer williamil porter, that ended inded december, guys. Guy well, and the officer hasffih that right to have a nonjury trial, so the officerfficer exercis you mentioned, bob, that thethae fact that it will be a bench wib trial, a trial just before the judge not sitting well perhapslp with some members in the t community but what does that say about future trials now because we still have severalti more officers who havell notaven gone to trial. Tri might this be settinget precedent then for others toor o follow that path of not goingtoi before a jury . J reporter i think it will depend on the verdict that t judge Barry Williams renters. Hes going to be the judge on all of these cases. Ces. There will be no hung jury. Ur he will have a verdict. Di and he knows everything. Rything. Even though in this trialhis trl there are some limitationsatio that hes placed on himself, him the evidence he can hear oran h see or that can be arguedcan ae before him, he knowsws everything so, thereshe questions as to whether he cantr block out other facts that are not presenter in there each individual trial with a jury tri there is a chance that theylley be stalemated. Tale there will be a difference ofa e opinion and that could work in r the favor of the officers. Offs. William porter and the others,eo hell be retried, the other officers will be tried during d the course o year, guys. All right, inbound interestio see what porter does when he goes back to trial. Tori lot of eyes on baltimore nowti in the very near future. Utur lets bring it back to d. C. Right now.

T as a matter of fact thats wherf its all going short. Rt. Rnc headquarters on capitol hill that meeting will be taking tak place in just little bit. Littl. Donald trump sitting down with w house Speaker Paul Ryan to talkk about unifying the republicanhei party. The presumptive nominee trying to build a closer alliance withe gop officials. Off ryan has said he is not ready ta throw his support behind trump but trump says the meeting willl help them get to know each oth other. Pauis i dont know paul well a and i think part of the meeting we have get to know. Kno he knew everybody else i theyr governors, their senators. Senat i am a businessman, and i thinki we want to get to know each knoe other. Trump will also meet with tht chairman of the rnc and senatee majority leader mitch mcconnellc after this meeting. Thiseeti so what can we expect from the meeting today. Oday joining us Lindsay Mcpherson house leadership reporter forr role call g to see you this morning. Good morning. D rnin i know you have specifics as far as what you can expect. T. Paint with Broad Strokes as far as this meeting of these twoinot leaders coming together. Toget it seems theres a little littl contentiousness before we getorw going here. Going h the big meeting there area two meetings paul ryan is havinv with donald trump. Wi first he has a meeting with theh trump and rnc chairman priebus. I after that he and the other o House Republican leaders willrsw meet separately with trauma topm talk about their house the h republican agenda theyve been crafting and some of the idea policy ideas that are a part off that. Th ryan last week d on tv that hes not ready too support donald trump, which if f were somebody in his postureos its a big deal. Right. You outline some things youme t expect to come out of this. O ut one of them is candor. Can what do you mean by that . Donald trump im sure youveu seen him speak on a number off occasions with quite brashnessbh and not afraid to say what het means and what hes feeling ineg the moment. Paul ryan as you see speaking on tv is a little more poisedd behind closed doors members says to us frequently that heshat h really frank with them and he lays out like it is and hes not afraid to be candid. An you mentioned they wont be alone and in fact there will beb a moderator in the house. He hou tell us about it. Well, in the two meetingsee there are other people presentre which i think partially iss because of their differenceirif agreements currently i thinken its helpful to havets somebodyb who already said priebus has nominee. Nomi thats his job as the party pty chairman his job to really getly paul ryan and donald trump onmp the same page hell really moderate that. And then some of the other House Republican leaders kevinin mccarthy for example havemp already said theyre willing toe support the nominee. I think their presence will alsl be helpful. Ul one things thats interestins when it comes to paul ryan iauly unmentioned it right out of thet gate he made headlines last week when he said he wasnt ready tod throw the support in yet. N y but also when he came to the t position that hes now in, he outlined conditions and said iai will only do this if thiss if t happens, if this happens. If thp will he take the same approach h do you think with donald trump . A i think so. I think he already has by sayinn hes not ready. When he he actually said no dont want to be speaker after after Kevin Mccarthy dropped ouo and slowly work his way upay toward that yes. Yes so i think what hes doing now. N im not ready. Rea he can get to the yes but hese also giving himself room to get to know hes going to probablyy lay out number of conditions coi that donald trump needs to getot to in order for him to supporth he has been very reluctantnt leader all through this in fact paul ryan has and called on thee carpet by very vocal politiciana sarah palin. So want to get to that if wet have time, too. E, too but also donald trump said tod t have laughed when he heard thatd he wasnt ready to throw his his support behind him. So we can expect a possible ossi threat, can we expect if yout iy dont support me, ill do this i any way . What do you mean by m expect a threat . Tea well, in the past, a couple c months ago trauma happen saidhai paul ryan would pay a big priceg if they get along and worknd together and hes been a littlee more calm as hes talked aboutka this ahead of the meeting sayins they need to get to know each tw other and actually paul ryans a statements on that front. N thatf when you get behind closed doord i cant imagine things get as ga little heated hes not going tog Say Something like that again. A like he said in the newshe n conference. Co the goal here is unification to fine that common ground. Roun can that happen even if its i baby steps can that help as fars as the party g and the goals everybody seems to be coming with. I think there couldnt babyo steps today. I think there some issues donald trump attack plan tax plan. Paul ripe is a big proponent ofo tax reform. M National Security has been a big issue. Is i think they have common groundd there. I think they can hit on those h points a little during thets a meeting and if they can findan f anything they grow on those wilo be the things well hear froml r them publicly afterward. Afterwa last word, do you have ard, sense of what the leadershiphip really thinks about drum . Weve seen the rnc chairman and housec speaker notha be on unified pagp here. Is it as disjointed as it seemsi to the public right now . Yes, i mean theyre notyre saying so publicly but obviouslv donald trump wasnt there firstf choice candidate and they cant most people in ae position of leadership like paue ryan and especially him becauseu he has to chair the convention o need to remain neutral and not endorse. Rs he said hes going to ban musl muslims from entering theimfrom country paul ryan called him oum on there. On right. I think they just dont agre with everything he said. Rythinhs hes not their first choice bute now hes the one left so theyt have to get on board or trump not changing coursengig either. If he doesnt get the support s hell keep trudging on and doind his things as well. Thin all eyes up on the hilda. He thanks for joining us thisning s morning. G. Thanks lindsey. Linds check in with our residenturd beach boy Tucker Barnes got the cooler ready to go as we try to get sunshine amidst this hazehi this morning. Or were generating the sunshinh right here.

Weather and traffic coming up on the 5s at 8 05. 8 will little breezy out theret a little stroll along the boardwalk. Thanks for joining us thisin morning. G im steve chenevey. Im allison seymour. First stll up in just 90 minutesut the Second Police officer charged in connection with theoe death of freddie gray will be in court. Co now his trial will be a bench bh trial that means no jury. Ury. A judge will decide his fate ant judge only. O the officer asked for it to tha be way, and there could be aoule verdict in less than week. Wee bob barnard outside life lif outside of the courthouse inhoe baltimore. Ba bob, this trial is a littlel isl different, right, because its more about grays arrest, not nt his death . Reporter thats right. R the officer charged with secondd degree assault, misconduct inndc office and Reckless Endangerment edward nero, 30 years old, onlyy three years on the force at thee time of the arrest, was one ofao the bicycle officers who made md the initial contact with freddie gray. Ay and prosecutors say it wast w unlawful arrest, hence, the takt down the arrest was a second s degree assault. The Reckless Endangerment chargg comes from the fact that they handcuffed and shackled freddiee gray but they didnt strap himp in or seat belt him into the nt police van, and theres edwarddr nero as he was coming to court c earlier this week for pretrialtl hearing. Hearin so, yes, theres no manslaughtee or Second Degree murder charge a against this officer. Icer. Its more what led to the arrest, was the arrest itself is lawful, was there an assault because the arrest was not n lawful and thats the heart ofet the matter here and it is at i bench trial. Al jud ruling on officer neros guilt or innocence a jury of his peere of freddie grays peers will nol be deciding this officers fatet and as you mentioned this ishis only expected to take five days. Theyll gel get under way at 9 30 this morning we may learn l more about the actual arrest,rr, what led to it. I freddie gray had a knife on him that prosecutors say was legal. L therefore, the arrest was unjustified. Well see how this all plays out before the judge who, again, iss commanding this trial from the t bench. No jury involved. Thank you, bob. Reporter you bet.

Ind area which is more cloud coverrd and the roads out there. Out t theres the beltway. El want to get to montgomery coun county. Big talker. Big talker. The School System changing themt way that it grades students andt looks like a win for the kids tk especially at the end of thend t semester. This is all part of thehis School System getting rid of final exams. Exa wisdom is here ready to weigh wh in. First lets go out to annie yu shes outside Churchill High School in potomac to share a a lesson how this new gradingw grg system will work. Sy good morning. Reporter hey g morning to mo you, steve and allison. Teve all thats right. s right. This new system is on a point scale system, and already thedyt chatter is building upchter throughout the morning here at t wins stop Churchill High Schools this is one of many montgomerymo county high schools that areighc going to start seeing this change implemented starting thii fall as this new school yearoola begins. So basically no final exams anda a new grading system in place. P this is a point scale system s which means that the grades aree calculated by averaging the two quarter grades. If you look at this grading grag table from superintendent larry bowers you get an a the first gt quarter in english an d the next quarter. R you would end up with b for that semester and you can see that st how the point system would workd based off of this table here. So it actually puts the students in upward trend and a better bet overall gpa always good thing gd and beneficial for college c admissions, of course, but thoso against this change are are concerned about gra and the fact that studentsde arent going to be getting the real experience especially asiaa they prepare for college, and,l, you know, just being out here oh weve had some parents stop by,p some students stop by, and thatt seems to be mixed emotions. Emon you have overall a lot more chatter about final exams being eliminated. Elimin a lot of students and parents sa think that final exams should so have been something that stayeds in place because it sort ofr motivates the student and alsona to prove that you know the material at the end of thefhe semester. Me as far as the new grading systee goes, they feel as though, youou know, emotions are split on thii but definitely a lot of peoplefp sounding off and i know you allu have an opinion on this back in the studio and you two are two sounding off. Yes, and i looked at the grades and the point system ande so i have a little bit morebit information. Info thanks, annie. , annie. Appreciate it. Wisdom martin is here with us w now. Now. Wisdom, now you dont have a a high schooler yet. S not yet. I have one and im about to o have two. Have okay. And im familiar with, you k the other grade it equals out tt what were familiar with. R w so in this system, an a and a dd would equal out to a b versus v what i would think would be a c. But there are also is a numberbe value system. Ste right. That comes and with your gpa. So i can see how if you had a high d and a really high a mayba it could equal out. But now it seems that thats t going to be an automatic b versus what the numbers are. Heres my issue with thisue h whole thing. When you start, you know,w, telling young people no matter t regardless of the age, hey, its you made this grade. Well take this out so you can c move your average up, what your gpa without this youll movel your gpa up. Gpa when you get what is it goini to be like when you get toget t college . Theyre not changingnn the standards in college. Why are we making life easierlie for young people much this ise s one example. Ex what is the end game fort is Montgomery County. Mo what is the end game . That what are you trying to doe because youre making lifere mgi easier. Ea so now you dont want to take a final scam. So then you want to change thehe school time so everybody can bec happy when they get up and u instead of going to bed on timen like we used to do back in thean old days. Right. And doing that now you wantnt to change the start times andt i not have these final tests and s everybody gets a trophy. What kind of society are we we creating here for these young yu people . Peop my issue is i think when youe think Montgomery County, youou think wonderful School System. Yeah. Yea for me it puts an asterisk br that now. Exactly. Thats my overall problem. Myo and so, you know, you have aou student who works hard and getss that a because its a straightti up a. Up yeah. And now is that a all its cracked up to be. B right. Because the College People knowo h they see this, montgomery monr county does their schools thisli way. That is the fear. Ea thats really not a high a. H thats just like an average orve whatever. What meantime the students at sa theyre not at home any more but theyre like wahoo. E w theyre having a party. Pay it looks like on paper if yop get a second d you can get a d with nh final exam and you get a b foror everything . Ev but my issue with the finalss i might have a little bit of af different issue because there be was so much so many pointsann assigned to that final. Right. And all the work might have been negated by a bad final, an, not everybody is a strong test g taker. Ta i didnt have a problem with the finals. With the grading system i am syi trying to make sure i get allet the information to give anive educated answer.

Warning to parents during t play time with the little ones. You might want to think twiceo e about t texting while playing ww your child going on facebook, fo reading emails. Mai Fox Medical Teams deena and ill raise my hand. I know ive been guilty of it. F good morning. Reporter i know. Were raising our hands im m me hand is right up there with yours. Urs. This is an interesting study. Tu because it talks about the riskr of texting while playing withlaw your little one. Ite o we know were not supposed toupt text and drive this is a whole o new level. So if youre on your facebook, b if youre looking at your textsx and supposed to be playing with your kid, it can affect theirhe Attention Span. This is a new study from indiana university. It was interesting because theye put cameras mounted on the heada of parents and of the little lil ones, the toddlers, and divided this into three groups, child c led play time that is the littll one went and grabbed a toy and d then inter acted with their t parent. Those are the kids who had the e longest Attention Spans and that was operate mum thats what were looking for. E lo were trying to develop this int our children. Our dre then there was parent led playtp time where the parents grabbedtd the toys they were trying to bee very ambitious and prove to and these researchers what greatt g parents they were. Parethey were. Well in that case the kids paidi attention little bit but wandered looked away walk off. And the least amount oftf attention was paid to when parents were you know prettykn much distracted beside theire te technology, and were in lowow engage many parents we callal them. So theyre looking at theirir facebook, maybe their you know,k checking their text messages. Those were the kids that showedo the least amount of attention. Tn the shortest Attention Span andd guys in the long run over periods of days turns into i months turns into a couple ofple years thats like critical timem of development for these kids and were trying to developtryig these longer Attention Spans sps because evidence shows that thet longer the Attention Span is as young toddler the better the ouo comes are as the young student. Right. Right. On down the line. On do okay its a good reminder. I dont think any parent may beb some but arent maliciouslyalico ignoring their kids or just j trying to catch up and the kid d seems okay but really goodeall g reminder for the little one. Lets move on now to just spend time with them. H e exactly. Exact like we used to do before we hae the computer in our hand. Ur h lets talk about antibiotics new studies show some are justrs down right unnecessary. Reporter yeah, and this is i an ongoing study we have beenw talking about but it seems like doctors and parents, patientsatt perhaps little slow to keep up u with research but the latestrch Research Shows that about a abot third, this is from the cdc, at least a third of antibiotictibi prescriptions that are writtentt are unnecessary. Sary completely unnecessary. So that means theyre nothe helping you get better becauseec you probably have a virus whichs is not treated by an antibiotici and then secondly taking thosego antibiotics puts you at risk of developing resistant type of bug that wont be fought by anyty antibiotics so we talk to doctoc about this issue that keeps ones going and she said that its i oftentimes with young childrenng that are brought in by parentsar that theyre the ones gettings i these unnecessary antibiotics. Io heres what she had to say. Majority of things weng w actually see children forren weather its emergency room,cyoo urgent care, the pediatriciane office is actually viral. Antibiotics a anything for that virus inirus i itself. Itlf. Its an antibacterial and were dealing with a virus. G withir its more symptom management. Syp we try to bring down that fever and make the childdo feel better which gives the parentsts reassurance. Reporter yeah. So theres all kinds of otherer things that happen with antibiotics, too. Tibiot side effects in your body. The antibiotics are killing your good microbes in your system,ys and affecting your immune systes and thats why we got to take this stuff seriously and 30 of the time theyre now saying youu dont need toes antibiotics. Nti. So something to think about wheh you go to your doctor you take t your child and you just want tot walk away some kind ofnd prescription think about that. U. Right. R i hope everybody gets on board. D such a big business. Big bus i hope doctors listen to it as a well when you might not need itd deena, thanks. A, t lets leave it there. Ts leav see you next time. Yoxt t reporter thanks allison. On. 8 54. Before we get Tucker Barnesar lets head back to capitol hill. Rnc donald trump has arrived heu is inside and ampllison he did i use the front entr no. No all of the protesters were. Ts or the reporters. Threpo right. But we saw online if you followo on quitter numerous pictures ofo him arriving, getting out of tho cars, Walking Around the cornerc to the Side Entrance of rnc headquarters so there you go. O u big meeting scheduled to take tk place in about five minutes. M this is the scene out front of whats happening where there are protesters mixed in with the the media.
