her statements involved the new illinois hearsay law and the judge's ruling was consistent with what prosecutors wand. >> that is very rewarding to finally have a judge declare the statute constitutional on all ground, because, as you guys know, it has been much maligned in the news media and is hard for a county judge, to declare an act unconstitutional. and normally it is something for the supreme court or appellate court to do and i understand his reluctance. >> the defense lawyers may appeal both decisions and are also preparing for the trial. >> we believe a jury will be able to differentiate between gossip and real evidence and, when they do they'll see there is no real evidence and find drew not guilty which he is. >> julie: thanks to byron harland of wfld in chicago for bringing us that update and new developments in the disturbing case of a sports reporter secretly recorded while she was undressing in her hotel room. through the peep hole in her door. and the fbi arresting the man they say stalked and exposed espn's erin andrews and several clips of her in the nude, surfaced

remember the story, family of five, killed in their illinois home. a small town in illinois. all savagely beaten to death. dad, stay-at-home mom, children. even a toddler was beaten. sole survivor in this attack. we're finding out the prime suspect is a former son-in-law. christopher harris was once married to an adult daughter. she was not involved here. here's nicole gee's myspace page. she's the adult daughter. not hurt in any way in this attack. they recently had a baby together. now she's defending him on her myspace blog. we'll take your calls, 1-877-tell-hln. let's bring back brian reich. and also back with us, ryan denham, online news editor at the bloomington pantograph. what makes them believe it's christopher harris here? >> they have some kind of strong forensic evidence that they've talked about in press conferences. they haven't been specific. also, he was the owner of a gray pickup truck that is somewhat similar to one that was seen in the small town the night before the bodies were found. so those two things apparently are pointing police toward him. >> did he

back to the map, rain is headed toward champaign, illinois. the radar picture there ends around indianapolis. but it's really going to fill out later today around the ohio valley, as far north as chicago, into detroit as well. anticipate major delays if you're trying to get in or out of those airports. full details in a bit. look at the extent of the watches an warnings start in texas and end near ohio. more in a little bit. >> widespread. >> yeah. s tons of rain. >>> breaking news. the government says new jobless claims dropped more than expected. there's still a lot of people. you're talking 521,000 people. but it is the lowest level since january. little context there. our money expert jennifer westhoven is crunching those numbers right now. she's going to be back to check in in a few moments to see maybe what it says about the economy and where we're headed. >>> all right, moms. we know that you all work very, very hard. find out who may be happier. is it stay-at-home moms or moms that work outside the home? >>> jane velez-mitchell joins u

moz >>> yesterday stephen in illinois made me feel look a regular old clown. and a subpar one at that. in the vein of bozo rather than crusty. he stumped me with a question about emergent biosolutions. symbol ebs. since i'll do anything to avoid looking like a chump, i got to do what i always do. i go back to the home work and come up with an answer. otherwise, i'll be spending the rest of the week beating myself up drinking the cheap scotch on the increasingly dirty linolium floor. it is a tiny little $530 million biotech company. it makes the only fda approved vaccine for anthrax. they have a steady business and it should last until 2013 selling it to the government as biothrax vaccines are required for military personnel. they're also working on a successor drug. it's more stable. and should work nicely as a patent extender if it gets fda approval. here's why like it as a solid speculative play. it is expected to be awarded a new contract to supply the government worth up to $500 million. that is nearly the same size as the company's market cap. that is a c

talking about soldiers fighting from illinois. those numbers are heart breaking, when a child, a young man like this can't walk home from school safely. >> those numbers are vm heart breaking. i got a chance today to it look at another video on the beating and there was another blow he took while he was laying down. i think that was the blow that really took his life and it was just so tough to it take a look at that particular footage and it's rough out here but the numbers like jesse jackson was talking about, there's a war zone here in america. for example, throughout america every year you have an average of 11,000 to 12,000 homicides by gunfire somebody killed by gang violence throughout the nation and when you compare america to other countries like new zealand, they only had like 60 homicides for the whole year. >> yeah. these numbers -- >> okay. >> tio, let me ask you, let's talk about whether or not there was the presence of a police squad car there? what do we know about that? we know it's investigated internally by chic

the gentlewoman from illinois. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'll put my full statement in the record, but i do want to thank all of my colleagues, debbie wassermann schultz and rosa deloro and jerry nadler and kathy castor of one of the bills i'm proud to be co-sponsor of. chicago has one of the largest disparities in death rate as a result of breast cancer. a report released in 2007 showed that breast cancer kills minority women at a rate of 68% higher than white women. mostly because of inequities and access to affordable quality care. i want to give a shout-out to an organization. we're going to have a briefing with them next week. pinna's sister is a chicago organization started by access community health network community health center. every mother's day the organization coordinates an event in black and latino churches. the women are invited to place a pin on a sister to empower her to learn more about breast cancer and to show she's not alone in her experience with breast cancer. but they need help. these bills that you have sponsored

the former illinois police officer has pleaded not guilty in the death of his third wife. and he denies any link to the disappearance of his fourth wife. peterson's attorney is upset that a judge will also allow a so-called hearsay law. he argues it denies a suspect's right to confront their accusers. but the will county state attorneys say he's going to change the trial's venue if it appears a fair trial won't happen. >> very rewarding to have a judge declare the statute constitutional on all grounds because as you know, it's been much malign in the news media. the statute is equitable, fair, and improve our system of justice. >> we can't be anything but disappointing. this law was -- if you read -- there have been legal commentators and lawyers who have commented on it that think it's a horrible law. i think it's a horrible law. >> possible evidence might include letters peterson's ex-wife wrote claiming he would kill her to shut her up. she was seeking orders of protection. >>> you know, after yesterday, all the storms across the u.s., you kind of wonder, is it going to

in springfield illinois and mr. morrow within the process of what the thought was an attack with an explosive against the wells fargo motor bank in dallas, texas. these three cases, realized both our worst fears about homegrown islamists terrorist attacks against americans and i had our best hopes for our government's capacity to defend us from them. the case is the scenario that many of us have worried about and watched out for. a legal permanent resident of america free to travel in and out of our country, going to pakistan, connecting with al qaeda dare, receiving training and perhaps directions and returning to america to join with others here in an attack on the new york city. senator collins and i were first briefed on this case. we each have the same reaction, which was a sense of gratitude that all the things that have been done by congress, the bush and obama administrations, hundreds of thousands of u.s. government employees since 9/11 worked on the case. the department of homeland security and the federal

i was familiar with what happened in illinois. currently, there is a bill out there that we're trying to get past to try to prove negligence. but it is very hard to get the bill passed because it is so hard to prove. we're working on that. representative bill black and myself are the lead sponsors on that bill right now. you do not want to just run a bill that is going to get defeated. we want to make sure that when we try to bring the house -- the bill to the house floor is going to be effective. >> i'm with the national solid waste management association. destructive driving is an occupational safety hazard for workers to work on or near the rose. tow truck drivers, law- enforcement personnel and others are killed every year by distracted drivers. michigan passed a novel lot for increased penalties for striking a certain service workers. i wonder if any of the legislatures are considering enacting laws like that. >> we have enacted laws to basically move over when you have a police officer ray public safety officer that has got

john, thank you for your leadership and illinois. i know there are others that are providing the same type of leadership in their state. 21 states and the addition of columbia band itself loans for novice drivers. six states ban cell phone use by all drivers. those who drive around d.c. know what is going on. people are still on their cell phones and still texting. it is a good start. there is much more we need to do. tomorrow i will announce some of the actions we are taking it the federal level to deal with this. in the meantime, i want to remind everyone that you cannot rely on legal action only because in reality you cannot legislate behavior. there are not enough police on patrol to catch everyone who is breaking the law. taking personal responsibility for our actions is the key to all of us, taking responsibility for our actions is the key. research shows that your chances of a crash multiplied when you dial your phone or text while driving. so, keep your eyes on the road. it is up to each of us to do that they did do not wait

debbie in illinois, your thoughts? >> caller: i disagree. i'm glad that the blackmail plot has come out, but i think we're -- we as a nation take it so lightly anymore that oh, yeah, we can just make fun of it and i won't look quite as bad as everyone. i think they should look into it. cbs should look into it. >> lisa, you think cbs will say what did happen here over the past few years? >> yes. and i just think that they would. here's the issue. are they all consenting adults and no one is hurt and making any claims of inappropriate conduct? then i think he's off the hook. if somebody makes another claim, we have a different issue. >> i want to read a facebook comment. this is sandy m. writing that making light of a boss having sex with his employee is not funny. it's clear abuse of his position of boss. no respectful boss would do this. let's listen again as david letterman, as he gets the cheers and laughter as he fesses up. >> the creepy stuff was that i have had sex with women who worked for me on this show. now, my response to that is,

i visited springfield, illinois. as you all know the hometown of abraham lincoln with the impressive lincoln library and museum and the old state capital where lincoln served as state legislator before his presidency. in 1858, lincoln gave a speech in which he praises the desire for liberty as the strongest defense against desperatism. i quote "our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. dry this spirit and you have planted the seeds of desperatism around your own doors.

chicago is saying, well we got our power from the state of illinois and the state of illinois can prohibit it even if the federal government can't. i've never seen this before. or i should say i've rarely seen this before. the supreme court is so animated by the decision two of federal appellate courts that the states can prohibit guns in spite of this heller decision that it has agreed immediately to hear an appeal from these two appellate courts to say to the states, one of which is new york, the other illinois, you cannot ban all guns. steve: meanwhile, let's take a look at a case that originated in the state of florida. it is graham v. florida. we'll do that one right there. salazar v.buono. that's a case we have been highlighting here on "fox & friends." that's this great big cross in the middle of the hoe javy -- mojave desert. someone explained that's a religious artifact on federal property. now they're going to decide whether or not to have to take that down. which means they'll have to take down all the crosses in arlington. >> i think you're right. that cross now is covered by a

but the recent arrest of azzy in colorado and some of the lone wolves in illinois and texas, unfortunately it's a reminder that the work is not over and that we can't afford the luxury of being complacent about either domestic terrorists or those tied in with the international apology adists. tavis: are these arrests of late to your mind coincidentalal or something we need to be paying attention to? >> it's a very insightful question and one that needs to be answered. as i take a look at the backgrounds of some of those individuals they seem to be operating, at least from what i know, i'm not on the inside anymore, but at least looking to lynn -- bin laden or al qaeda for inspiration but working outside. some others seem to be part of a larger network. i'll particularly intrigued by the arrests in new york and denver. zazzy makes his way back over there for training. was he a zealot or jihaddist before he got here? which is a reminder, we've been welcoming people across our shores for a long time and one of the biggest challenged we have is the notion that there might be still terrorists a

they're not ready. >> albert was buried in illinois near the grave of his grandmother. >>> u.n. experts say iran has all information it needs to design and build a nuclear bomb. a confidential analysis published yesterday in the new york times. those experts need more evidence to be sure about the extent of iran's nuclear knowledge. their report says iran got know-how from rogue nuclear scientists and did research and testing on its own. now if this report is accurate it would contradict an assertion made by u.s. intelligence agencies two years ago that said iran halted efforts to design a nuclear weapon. the times quotes a senior u.s. official saying the assessment is now being re-evaluated. >>> u.n. inspectors will start looking at iran's newly revealed nuclear site october 25th. head of u.n.'s nuclear agency held talks in tehran today. he said inspectors want to make sure the site is used for peaceful purposes. it has the been a huge concern since iran revealed the nuclear enrichment plant last month. president obama said iran attempted to conceal the plant in violation of in
