But its hardest of all when the prison ser serving a sentence that allows no flexibility no matter the circumstances. The cover story is reported now. We tried calling the cops. We tried everything. Nothing worked. Reporter after hearing lee wollards story. You think he did what any family man will do or agree with the florida jury and think he went too far, but either way, youre likely to wonder, does wollards punishment really fit the crime. Never in my wildest dreams did i think that i would be here. I still have a hard time believing it. Its unbelievable. Reporter the troubles began six years ago. He was a professional with a masters degree in davenport, Florida Living with his wife and two daughters, working at sea world. When his youngest daughter sarah began dating a 17yearold troubled teenager with no place to live. Wollard and his wife sandy took him in. Someone needs help, you help them. For about a week. It started out his behavior was fine. Id ask him to take the garbage out or clear off the table, and it was yes, maam, yes, maam. But Sandy Wollard sades the relationship with the boy who we agreed not to identify soured. This young man was taking my daughter out at night after we had put her to bed and we had gone to bed, and he was disappearing with her. He would disappear for days at a time with her. Shes 16 years old. Reporter the wollards asked him to leave, but nothing kept him out of the house until may 14th, 2008. As lee was taking a nap, his daughter and her boyfriend began to fight. You heard a loud noise . Yeah, like you were throwing stuff against the wall, like a reporter and thenies for he. What did you think . I had no idea, so i grabbed by 357 and loaded with shells. Reporter thats a large gun. Yeah. Reporter according to wol ordera the young man lunged at him and punched this hole in the wall. The teenager disputes that, but no one disagrees what happened next. So i fired a shot into the wall, and i said the next one is between the eyes. The kid turned around and hurried out the door and that was the end of that. Not quite, wollard was charged with shooting into a building with a firearm, aggravated assault and child endangerment. When he went on trial a year later, a jury convicted him of all charges, and then judge Donald Jacobson sentenced him. You sentenced him to how long . 20 years in Florida State prison which is the mandatory minimum. Reporter 20 years. That means he will serve every day of 20 years in state prison. I was just like what . The blood just drained out of my head. I almost passed out. Reporter it didnt matter that lee wollard was a first offender or no one was hurt in florida it rules an automatic 20 years. Thats the mandatory minimum sentence. I looked at him and told him that i would not be sentencing you to this term of incarceration if it were not for the fact they was obligated as a judge to do so. Reporter that had to be difficult. Being a judge is difficult. Reporter wollards case is just one of thousands in this country. Most involving drug offenses, in which the punishment is determined by mandatory sentencing laws, laws created by legislators who strip away power from judges they believe to be too lenient and give it instead to prosecutors. Its an invaluable tool for prosecutors in Law Enforcement to use because it gives us leverage. Running the association of prosecuting attorneys in washington, d. C. He says that defendants when faced with harsh mandatory sentences are more likely to negotiate a plea bargain avoiding lengthy costly trials, and the sentences is more fair, he says. But is it really. When you have these mandatory minimum sentences are you treating the violent career criminals the same way as youre treating the first offenders, nonviolent that get the same sentence . But justice is blind. So it doesnt marry what status you are in society. If you commit these crimes, the elements of the crime, blind justice will charge you with that, and you should receive equal sentence just as anybody else who committed that same crime. Reporter that was the thinking in the late 1980s when mandatory sentencing became a popular tough on crime tool as part of the governments war on drugs. Locking away not just drug dealers, but often their customers, many young first offenders. It seemed contrary to everything i learned in civics 101, that judges cant judge now when the crimes carry mandatory minimum sentences. Julie stewart started families against mandatory minimums. She sades lee wollards 20 year sentence isnt unusual as you think. Take the case of weldon angelos, a music producer with no previous record, who in 2004 was sentenceed to 55 years in prison for selling marijuana worth 350 to undercover cops who find a firearm in his possession. Im not a criminal. Reporter and 19yearold first time offender jacobula voro in texas. Facing 20 years in prison after getting caught with a tray of hash brownies. Shouldnt go to prison. Whether you like the law or not it exists. If you violate theres a consequence. We say the judge should be able to determine what the punishment is, not a legislator, not a prosecutor. Reporter stewart blames mandatory sentencing for prison overcrowding. Since 1980 the average sentence for Drug Trafficking doubled from four years to nine and a half. And even Steven Janssen says sometimes the wrong people are incarcerated. Unofficial, you have situations where people who think theyre innocent decide to go to trial instead of accepting a plea offer, and they end up receiving more severe sentence than what maybe a gang member or drug dealer would have taken. Reporter which is what happened to lee wollard. The prosecutor offered you probation, no jail sentence and you didnt take it. It never dawned on me i would be convicted because i didnt do anything wrong. I protected my family, and i didnt even hurt anybody. Reporter and wollards sentence seems particularly harsh says his wife when you consider that in florida, if you happen to kill someone while standing your ground in self difference, you may face no charges at all. But if you shoot a warning shot just to scare them away, youll get 20 years in prison. Reporter the polk county states attorney whose office prosecuted wollard refuseed to discuss the case. But theres a move to return some discretion to judges. Earlier this year, federal sentencing guidelines were amended to reduce prison time, and the Legislature Passed a law that exempts firing warning shots from the current harsh penalties. But it comes too late for wollard. Everything is gone. Wollard has asked the Florida Governor for clemency, which incidentally his daughters former boyfriend supports f. He doesnt get it. Lee wollard will leave prison in july 2028 when he is 73 years old. If this is what the state of florida requires of you to make sure your family is safe, im willing to do it. Its a bargain. Ive got three family members two, daughters and a wife. And theyre alive because of this. Its a bargain. 20 years is a bargain. Coming up, the man. Charles and now a page from the subpoena morning almanac. 25 years ago today. Today the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced it was awarding this years peace prize to dalai lama, the political and spiritual leader to the people of tibet. He was born in 1935. Buddhist leaders declared him while a young boy to be the reincarnation of the 13th dalai lama. The road was disrupted in 1959 when at the age of 23 chinese occupying troops forced him to flee tibet for exile in india. In the years that followed the dalai lama has steadfastly championed the tibetan cause and at the same time opposing resort to violence. Instead, as the Nobel Committee emphasized, the dalai lama advocated Peaceful Solutions based on Mutual Respect in order to preserve historical and Cultural Heritage of his people. [ applause ] the dol dalai lama accepted the peace prize. In the quarter century since, he has continueed to speak out for tibet. And for nonvile sxens tol rantion, earning the admiration of people of all faiths all around the world. The ceremony in india this past week marked the 25th anniversary of the peace prize. But what the future holds is in doubt. The dalai lama foreswore the Political Part of his role in 2011. And at age 79, he has questioned whether there should even be a dalai lama after hes gone. Ahead, a toast to cork. This portion of sunday morning is sponsored didp, wh americas Largest Energy investor. How smart is your dog. Smarter than you think. Good girl. New research tonight on 60 minutes. Charles putted a cork in it. Thats how most wine makers seal their bottles. An age old practice whose defenders are fighting back against plastic newcomers. A post card from portugal. Reporter high in the mountains of Portugals Algarve region, we find ourselves in what feels like a misty magic forest where ancient giants live, giant cork trees. A form of oak which has magical properties. I believe it is 150 years old. Wow. That one over there i believe its 4 to 500 years old. Hes a businessman whose family has owned his hillside for centuries. Reporter how old will a tree be when you start taking the cork . Maybe 40 years. Reporter you heard right. 40 years. Theres a saying in portugal that you plant cork trees for your grandchildren. So tell me how this works when you harvest cork . You make a cut, a straight cut vertical, and reporter with a specially designed steel hatchet cutters slit the bark. Between may and august the dark is cut, so when its pried it comes off sometimes whole like a tube. Heres where the magic comes in. The process doesnt kill the tree. By law, cork can only be harvested every nine years. This tree was stripped in 2010. By 2019, the park will be more than an inch thick again. In many parts of the country, the trees are farmed like orchards. Tourists can follow whats called the cork route. Portugal produces 65 of the worlds supply. You would be right to say ahh, thats where cork comes from. It exports a staggering 12 billion corks a year. You would also be right to say ahh, what about those plastic things and screw tops. Before the year 2000, 9 out of 10 wine bottles were sealed with a cork, now its down to 7. We have a problem, reporter antonio de rios amorim runs portugals largest cork Company Founded in 1870 by his great grandfather. Basically come out in the market saying that cork was faulty product. Why . Because of a condition called cork taint, a musty off taste that can occur in wine. Although corks arent the only cause, but talk about a wake up call. Spending more than 300 million developing technology that all but eliminated the problem. The company now makers stoppers out of cork at all price ranges, from two cents apiece to the 2 apiece one that is go into expensive wine. When you open a bottle of wine with cork, they know they are drinking a quality wine. When they are drinking a bottle of wine with a plastic, theyre not sure of what type of wine. Reporter if the bottle of wine has a cork in it, you believe its a better bottle of wine than a plastic . Exactly. Corks are still punched by hand. The human eye is still the best way to spot a reject. Women, were told are the best corkers, but technology and design are transforming an industry that heard the wake up call. Suddenly, cork and and treaty are words used in the same sentence. Its the product reporter yes, its a cork umbrella, made out of cork sliced so thin its flexible and can be sown like fabric. Sandra corraia calls it cork skin. Youd never dream. Corraia started her company after the millenia when disappointing champagne sales left the familys cork business with a glut of raw materials. We needed to develop cork. It came from from the bark. On to something new, something that the world doesnt have. Reporter this does not look like cork. We wanted to make it more fashionable. And to make this, we want to reproduce the leather crocodile bags with cork. Sandra now exports to the rest of europe and to the United States. Not just her line of fashion accessories, but Something Else as well. You see this. Reporter the message that cork is cool. Here we go. Wow. Perfect. Feels good. Charles still to come.

You got to the bar. I was at home, got a newspaper, and went to the beach. Charles ben affleck plays a husband suspected of killing his wife in gone girl. Its a best selling novel gone hollywood. In a bit of a twist, the novels author is in the spotlight as well as we hear from rita braver. Reporter you dont expect to see the screenwriter getting selfies at a film premiere. How often does a novelist with no film experience get to write her own screenplay. They say, oh, its so cute. You did the screenplay, now go away forever. Reporter but no one is telling Gillian Flynn to go away. Her 2012 blockbuster novel, gone girl has sold more than eight and a halfil m lion copies, and is well on the way to becoming a blockbuster film starring ben affleck as nick and amy dunne. I think you made it. Whats your name . Amy. Reporter so about giving anything away, how would you describe the story of gone girl . A couple who on the surface look quite lovely, handsome and beautiful, and the wife goes missing on her five year wedding anniversary, and very quickly the husband becomes the source of media fascination and dissection. The hallmark of a sociopath is a lack of of empam aegts. Aegtsathy. Impathy. Are you trying to tell me that this photo is remotely reporter it is a dark and twisted tale, and flynn says she always hoped that David Fincher known for films such as girl with the dragon tattoo, and the social network would do it. The difference between facebook and everybody else, we dont crash ever. Reporter behind the surfaces and underneath the psychology. Did you have the same casting. From the beginning i was like ben affleck. It has got to be ben affleck. I didnt know that. Shes probably a revisionist. Its got to be brad pitt. Its got to be ben affleck. Reporter but neither aflec or director david finch ser joking about the screenplay produced. Its a good script. Its simple as well. Gillian writes like an artist. Shes that 13yearold girl with a bucket of pop corn in her lap watching the movie. Tu reporter much of the film onrns whether you believe nick dunne is a killer. You seem pretty laid back. Type b, speaking of which vito look it up. You dont know what she does all day, and you dont know are you sure you were married . Why did you take the part . Because i thought the character was really interesting. When you get a play a part with a guy you dont know how much you respect this person how much youre going to judge this person, how comfortable you are with this person, its playing a character lead. And thats what gillian wrote. Amy told me she dumped you, and you completely unraveled. You stalked her, and threatened her, and attempted suicide in her bed and were institutionalized. Gillian flynn now 43 grew up in kansas city, lives in chicago and sets her books in the midwest. A midwest so sinister that readers are spriedsed when they see her in person. I think sometimes they are disapointed because im not nearly as freaky and weird as they hope im going to be. Reporter shes the daughter of two Community College professors. Her mother taught reading. Her father taught film. Because your dad taught film, you saw a lot of age inappropriate movies. You have a distinct thrilling memory of him, and psycho, and the vcrs. Reporter after getting a masters degree in journalism, flynn landed a job as a reporter for Entertainment Weekly and started writing novels on the side. Youve always been interested in women who have some kind of dark or even not really. Whats interesting about that . I think women have just as much issues with aggression and anger. I just think they express differently than men do, and i felt like that was something reporter the sounding board is her husband, attorney brett knolland. They married in 2007. Did you find yourself saying where did you get this idea . The only time i paused was gone girl. The first time i the first draft i read of that. All right. Maybe there is something. We need to talk. Called me at work. What did he say . He said sleep with one eye open. Reporter now the parents twof children, they say the story of nick and amy dunne is a cautionary tale for couples who start to grow apart. You cant go on. Its not good enough for you. Its two selfish people, and they dont share because they cant for different reasons. Thats why they grow into their own separate spheres. Now your wife is a world famous writer. What impact is that for you . Nothing much, frankly. I think our marriage is still the same as it was before gone girl came out. It wasn was great before go girl and still is great. Reporter theyre working on a new home, and gillian is working on a new tv series, and fans are waiting for her next book. The stakes are higher now. What i say is theres never going to be another gone girl for me. I think ill write other good books. I have faith in that, but i have to accept the fact that this is a great fantastic moment that will never come again. Enjoy it while it lasts. Charles ahead, oh, baby. Charles it happened just this past week in sweden. A medical first that holds the promise of helping thousands of women around the world. Doctors at the university of gottenberg announced a 36yearold birth to a baby boy after receiving a transplanted womb. The new mother born without a uterus is one of nine women who underwent the operation. The procedure involves removing a uterus from a donor, placing it on ice, flushing it with preservatives and then implanting it in the hopeful mother to be. Remarkably enough in the case of the woman wo gave birlgt, the donor was a 61yearold family friend who had already gone through menopause. After making sure all it well, the doctors placed an embryo createed in a lab did she with the mothers egg and the fathers sperm. The parents have asked they not be identified. They have released a baby picture, and told us the name. Its vincent, chosen because it means to conquer. And this may not be the end of the birth announcements.

He reminds me of nothing so much as a female impersonator and such a female to impersonate. And abraham is an infamously cruel critic. You changed your name. After all of you, i change my face. You know heres the thing. Its a little dangerous to play. People dont like to talk about it. They dont want to talk about reviews at all. You only get in trouble when you talk about critics. Weve entered into the forbidden zone. Reporter the whole play . The whole play is forbidden. Reporter i wonder how a critic can criticize it. Especially certain critics. Reporter particular critics. If you cant give unanimous raves reporter in the play, theyre waiting for the review by the New York Times chief critic, and they say his name, ben brantly. The actual critic. I know. Reporter pretty bold. Do you think theyll send him to review the play . I would think, unless he feels hes involved in the play. Who knows. Reporter Opening Night of its only a play approaches, theres a sention of life imitating art. This is a scary time waiting for reviews, just like what happens in the play. This is really happening. Its going to be hard. Reporter you are in a wonderful position, because the play is already a hit. Dont say that. Dont talk about it. You shouldnt be saying that. Reporter i guess what im asking in light of the fact that it is basically sold out already, will the review matter . Dont say that either, leslie. What are you trying to do to us.

Were doing our jobs, in that were bringing reporter have any of you been in a play where we are entertaining the audience right now.

How you doing . Since may, theyve been living with the seamans. Trisha, her husband, and their four children. We love her. I think she loves us like we love.

He has plent tow say about those days in a new book just released by simon and schuster and has plent tow say to tracey smith for the record. Reporter in a perfectly generic building on an ordinary street, somewhere in los angeles, billy idol is getting ready for a new u. S. Tour. And at a fit 58, he still looks like the bad boy rocker you watched on mtv. In the 1980s, hotter. Hey, little sister hey, little sister. Hey reporter with the swagger and the hair, billy idol was practically made for tv. You have this trademark sneer, i guess is the best way to put it. Where does that come from . Is it just you . Yeah. I think its just my attitude, you know. You have to have one hell of an attitude to get anywhere in the music business in the world we came from. Reporter and with one of his videos running just about every hour, he quickly became a megastar on mtv and beyond. When you think billy idol music, what is that . The best of punk rock, the best of rocknroll, and the best of everything, and somehow cross pollinating it into a bastard child, really. And the bastard child is my music. Reporter and a highly successful child. Its a fantasy. Reporter throughout his career, hes had 16 songs in the top 40. Money money. Reporter of course, not all of them were original billy idol tunes. He didnt write the wildly popular hit, money money, but billy idol isnt his real name. Eyes without a face. Reporter William Michael rod was born in england. Dad was a power tools salesman and mom a surgical nurse. Billys childhood looks like anyone else. He went to church with parents and fell in step with the cub scouts. But as a teen he was obsessed with music. And when he announced he was quitting college to join a rock band, his parents hit the roof. You wanted punk rock . Yeah. Well, it was a dream. You want to have fun. It was more glamorous than the power tool business that he wanted me to join. He was a great salesman, fantastic, and i thought to myself, hes selling a product, not just himself. And i managed to work out to make my own product. Reporter young billy followed instifrktstinct and he and formed a punk rock band, generation x. Changed his last niem to idol. The new name fit him pfshl perf. By the 1980s, he was on his own, racking up the hits and the excesses of stardom. His womanizing is the stuff of legends. You had one relationship at least through all of this. I did, yes. Reporter but it was hard to stay faithful. You couldnt stay faithful . Impossible. I mean, especially on a 10 month tour on a bus, going from nowhere, from place to place, to dennys, carls junior, truck stops.
