developments. >> reporter: brian, it's been a day of interesting developments in this case. first the judge tossed out three counts against the former assistant coach. now facing 48 counts. then came the closing arguments. it wasn't until after jurors began deliberating that another alleged victim came forward. matthew sandusky, jerry sandusky's adopted son, said he was also sexually abused by his father, jerry sandusky. as a legendary football coach, jerry sandusky diagrammed the plays and pulled the strings. but as a criminal defendant, he waits, powerless, for a verdict from a jury of his peers. >> this is a fight to the death. this is the fight of jerry sandusky's life. >> reporter: sandusky's remained silent, no preliminary hearing, and chose not to testify at trial. then, thursday, a possible explanation for that decision to keep sandusky off the stand. his adopted son matthew came forward to say he was also sexually abused by his father. >> it's one thing to allege conspiracy among people who do not know you, but for your own son to come forward and make these allegations, i simply don't know what the defendant and the defense counsel can do to counter act that. >> reporter: former federal prosecutor says because the explosive news surfaced after the jury began deliberating, jurors can only consider evidence that came up in the courtroom, and probably won't even hear about the news anyway. >> the judge has made a decision to sequester the jury, and in looking backwards, it may very well be because he was concerned that this very explosive piece of information could have prejudiced the jury. and by keeping them sequestered, he is keeping that away from them. >> reporter: in his closing argument, defense attorney joe amandola says sandusky is the victim, accusing investigators of coaching the alleged victims. an attorney for one victim says that just doesn't add up. >> the fact that somehow, a group of prosecutors, police, media, and plaintiff's attorneys got together to try to bring mr. sandusky down at different times, different places and different locations. that doesn't have a -- a ring of credibility. >> reporter: in closing, the prosecution told jurors not to forget the victims, pointing at sandusky and saying, quote, he knows he did it and you know he did it. acknowledge it. give them justice. 68-year-old sandusky denies all of the charges of sexually abusing young boys over a 15 year period. if convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. brian. >> laura evans tonight. for the first time we're hearing george

a problem now and then he was here and punched hemi in the face -- he purchased me in the face. >> zimmerman is charged with second degree murder. his bond was recently revoked and he is currently in

vienna, he is hoping some day some quiet will return to his peace and quiet. >> it's still frustrating, but at least now we have the attention of all the right people. >> reporter: we should let you

and probably come through with the peak heating of the day. really any time after the noon hour, we could be looking for thunderstorms. and the storm prediction center says with this approaching front and the heat and humidity out ahead of it, we could have some of those storms be on the strong to severe side friday afternoon. anywhere in the red which would primarily be d.c. on to the east, and on up into the northeast, where the whole 95 corridor was breaking records. so we'll watch for the possibility of strong winds, damaging winds, potentially, and maybe some hail. doesn't look like they'll rotate so much but we'll watch that. tornado threat not great, but again, strong winds could come through and take down tree limbs and produce some hail and heavy rain, possible. let's check out the future cast. we have a couple of showers around, maybe in the overnight hours. by the noon hour, we could start to see a little bit of activity. not widespread. let's run it out to 5, 6:00. we have scattered pockets of thunderstorms, some of which could be strong to severe and by 10:00, we think we're chasing them out of here. beginning to see clearing to the west. we should start to feel noticeable improvement, and then we head into saturday with quite a nice improvement, no doubt about it. overnight warm and muggy, a slight shower or storm risk at 78 degrees. still 94 tomorrow. scattered showers and storms, bring an end to this hot spell, and on the five-day forecast, it's 88 for saturday, 89 for sunday. more showers and storms possible on monday at 86. we can actually use the rain, but then big time relief on tuesday, as we dip below average by some six degrees. >> wow. >> that is the difference between this summer and last summer. you have to hang in there but three days is better than the 6 to 10 day stretch we were getting. how about july last year, 25 days at or above 90. >> i remember that sweltering. >> and a lot of them above 95. >> we can be in worse shape. >> thank you, sue. frightening ride for a planeful of passengers. the new york bound plane from las vegas experienced a mechanical failure that sent the jet careening through the area sparking panic and making passengers sick. >> it was sunday afternoon, the flight was headed from las vegas to new york. >> yeah. >> some people have said they noticed problems right away. >> yeah. it was pretty immediate. we heard loud screeching sounds, sort of sounded like a gear trying to happen. some mechanical piece trying to work. >> screeching sounds? >> yeah. it was you know, kind of like when you hear the landing gear go down. >> reporter: tom was one of 134 passengers on jetblue flight 194. he says the plane made it to about 12,000 feet after leaving the las vegas airport. when the problem started. >> and we're just circling, and doing some pretty big dips. mainly just because the air is so rough around there. >> were people getting sick? >> a lot of people were getting sick. that was probably the worst part about it in some sense was just everyone was getting sick around us. >> reporter: he says the captain came on and announced the plane had lost two of its three hydraulic systems. >> we thought that that was it. you know, i know enough to know hydraulics means it's about how to work things, what moves flaps. and so, not knowing anything more, we thought they can't control this plane very well. >> reporter: and that's when he says the captain told passengers they need to circle and burn fuel for what ended up being a bumpy and miserable two and a half hours. >> that must have been hellish two and a half hours. >> it was miserable. mainly because every bump you thought can they control this. are we going to go down? is there something we don't know about? as hair rowing as the experience was and sort of scared as we were the whole time the flight attendants were amazing. they just showed such calm and professionalism. they talked to everybody in the rows, asking us if we had questions. they asked if we needed anything. one of them came up and just said look at me. i'm smiling. if i'm smiling, i'm not scared so you don't need to be scared. finally they told us we're going in for an emergency landing and we did all the training, brace positions, got in brace position, and landed fine. you know, and broke into cheers when the plane came to a stop. >> reporter: from his home here in the windsor terrace section of brooklyn, tom wanted to give credit to the cool exposure of the pilots and crew of that jetblue flight. he says jetblue offered hotel accommodations and free round trip tickets. we should note that the federal aviation administration is also investigating to see if this incident could have been prevented. more and more babies testing positive for marijuana. which common household item is to blame, next. >> and if you live near a busy road you might want to consider moving. why the traffic could make you sick, 15 you never drive. coming up on the news edge at 11. baby shampoo, bedtime bath soap? probably the last things you expect to trigger a positive drug test. a new study shows baby soap residue is to blame for a spike in babies testing positive for marijuana. >> reporter: baby wash, baby shampoo, bedtime bath soap, all seemingly innocent products used in nurseries every day. but scientists found them to be the culprit behind a spike in false positive marijuana results in baby's urine. it's all published in this month's journal of clinical biochemistry. this doctor didn't do the study but talked to us about the findings. >> they're very safe soaps. it's just that they think that in these soaps there is a substance that is triggering this false positive result. >> reporter: while the scientists don't know exactly what that substance is, they don't think it's actually marijuana. the study found the problem has to do with how the baby's urine is collected. dr. yapalotter says those tests usually get more than just urine. these tests are actually capturing the soap residue on the baby's skin. >> what's happening is you're not only capturing the urine from the baby to run that test but also any substances, microbes or element that might be on the baby's genitals. >> reporter: the problem with this? that false positive marijuana test could lead to something terrible. >> this trigger a whole cascade of events that could result in the baby being taken away. >> reporter: which is why the scientists ultimately decided this was an important study. to let hospitals know that when a test comes back positive for marijuana, to do a blood test, too. >> we need to take that next test. the confirmatory test. the blood test, which is the
