Harm instead turned more than 500 of his patients into victims in a shocking case of medical fraud. Today in detroit the doctor listened as some of these patients and their families told in court how he ruined their lives with unnecessary cancer treatments. Heres dean reynolds. Reporter courtroom sketches could not adequately capture the anguish of the victims today as one by one they confronted the cancer doctor who prescribed aggressive chemotherapy for patients he knew were not ill and for those who were, ordering treatments that were excessive while billing medicare 34 million. In court dr. Farid fata showed no emotion for man who prosecutors said would bully and browbeat patients who dared to question his treatment. Fata has already pleaded guilty to fraud and other charges. A memo from prosecutors demanding a life sentence said fata would tell his patients they risked death without him telling one, your life or your money. From Laura Stedtefeld whose father died in fatas care, you poisoned murdered and tortured my dad. From maggie dorsey, even though i am not dead, i am a shadow of my former self. It went on for hours and it involved only a handful of the victims prosecutors identified, people who were physically emotionally and financially devastated. Expert witnesses took the stand to describe the overuse of chemotherapy. One drug is typically given eight times for aggressive lymphoma, but dr. Fata prescribed it to one patient 94 times. Monica flagg who was falsely told by fata she had multiple myeloma, was too distraught to speak in court. Treatments fata prescribed left her continually exhausted and in pain. What do you think of him . What do i think of him . Im very angry. I cannot believe any doctor would betray so many people. And he did. You saw him in court. I did. I cried when i first saw him walk in the door. Reporter did you see man who was contrite . He showed no emotion. He didnt care. Reporter how did that make you feel . Oh, oh, i was very angry. Reporter a good question is how he got away with this. Scott, the answer is that dr. Fata was a wellrespectedded physician backed up by other wellrespected physicians and a prominent local hospital. But it was a doctor who worked for him who ultimately blew the whistle on his actions. Pelley and prosecutors are asking for a 175year sentence. Dean reynolds covering the story in detroit. Dean, thank you very much. Today an f16 fighter jet broad sided a cessna in the skies over South Carolina. Two people were killed on the private plane. The f16 pilot ejected. Omar villafranca is following the investigation. Omar . The search continues behind me for the two people in the cessna that collided with that f16 fighter jet this morning. The crash happened just after 11 00 and sent debris from both planes raining down on to a swampy part of South Carolina 25 miles north of charleston. Pictures from the crash scene show one of the jet engines resting near a mobile home. The jet was from nearby Shaw Air Force base and was on a Training Mission when it broadsided the cessna at between 2,000 and 3,000 feet. The pilot Major Aaron Johnson who has 1,500 hours of flight time and is considered highly experience was able to eject without any major injuries. The names of the two victims on that cessna have not been released, and, scott, the National Transportation safety board is expected to take over the investigation when they get here tomorrow. Pelley omar, thank you. Tonight conditions are still too dangerous to recover the body of a hiker who was killed when an ice cave collapsed yesterday in Northern Washington state. Ben tracy is looking at the cause. [screaming]. Reporter the ice first began the crumble on sunday. Several tourists inside one of the ice caves barely escaped. But when a cave partially collapsed monday, a 34yearold woman was killed, buried under ice and rock inside. Three worst were airlifted to a seattle hospital. Shari ireton is with the Snohomish County sheriffs office. Its not illegal to go in the caves, however weve been saying since midmay its extremely dangerous, with all this hot water. Its weakened the caves themselves. Reporter theyre known as the big four ice caves and are formed by avalanches that cascade down from Big Four Mountain in Northern Washington state. The giant piles of snow and ice are hallowed out by runoff during the spring and summer. Each year 50,000 people flock to this popular hiking trail. Sara soleimani shot this video sunday while visiting from california and says temperatures were in the high 80s. The ice was melting and the roof was so thin with so many holes in it, and water was running all over. The weather was so hot, so you could tell that something might be happening very soon. Reporter extreme heat is also fueling wildfires the west. In idaho today 100 firefighters were trying to contain a blaze in an upscale neighborhood near a lake. Six homes have already been destroyed there, and 300 people have been forced to evacuate. Scott, the good news is this heat wave is expected to ease by friday. Pelley ben tracy reporting for us this evening. Ben, thank you. Late today Subway Restaurants dropped its spokesman jared fogle. This just hours after f. B. I. Agents raided fogles indiana home apparently in connection with a child pornography investigation. Computers and electronics were removed from the home. Two months ago the head of a charity founded by fogle was arrested on child porn charges. Fogle became subways pitchman after losing 245 pounds while eating its sandwiches. Fogles lawyer says fogle is cooperating. Tonight women who accused bill cosby of sexual abuse are feeling vindication. In sworn testimony released yesterday, cosby admitted he obtained quaaludes with the intention of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with. Heres Michelle Miller. The women and myself were very brave to come out and tell our story. Reporter 08s supermodel Beverly Johnson is among dozens of women who stepped forward over the last year, accusing bill cosby of sexual misconduct. She claims she escaped an assault in the mid1980s after being drugged in the comedians apartment. I think for the women it validates what they have been saying for a long time, for years. Reporter johnson says she spent the night reading through 66 pages of newly released Court Documents in which cosby admits he purchased drugs to give to women he wanted to have sex with. That testimony came out of a sexual abbas lawsuit brought by Temple University employee andrea constand. Cosby eventually settled with her, but as more women stepped forward, his lawyers hope to keep his testimony secret, arguing his right to privacy. But judge Eduardo Robreno disagreed, saying cosby was a public figure who often lectured the black community on morality, specifically citing a cosby speech in 2004 at anaacp event. No longer is a person embarrassed because theyre pregnant without a husband cosby said. Given that, the judge said the public should see the stark contrast between bill cosby the public moralist and bill cosby the subject of serious allegations concerning improper and perhaps criminal conduct. Now, these documents were releasinged only after the Associated Press petitioned the court to make them public, and tonight, scott there is still no comment from bill cosby or any of his legal representatives. Pelley Michelle Miller thank you very much, michelle. Its now 30 weeks until the Iowa Caucuses where the first votes will be cast on the way to the president ial nominations.

I mean, i thought we would camp on, but were catching on faster than i would have thought. Reporter it comes without the money or the organization of the clinton machine. In the last fundraising quarter, sanders raised 15 million from 250,000 people, a strong grassroots showing but pennies compared the clintons money and the money raised by super pacs backing her. Do you believe you can vibebly go up against the clinton juggernaut . I do. Reporter why . The American People are saying enough is enough. When that starts galvanizing nothing is going to stop us. Reporter today in iowa city clinton welcomed the challenge. This is going to be competitive. It should be competitive. Its only the presidency of the United States were talking about.

We shouldnt keep deciding who is more importance, our sons or our daughters, our husbands or our wives that people should be treated equally. Fifa, which runs the world cup, says the prizes are based on revenue. This years figures have not been released, but four years ago the womens world cup brought in almost 73 million. The 2010 mens world cup in south africa made almost 4 billion. Those players got 348 million 9 of the total revenue. The womens team got a higher percentage with 13 but the bottom line was still much less, 10 million. We need to have some more male allies who will say, this is not acceptable. Ntwo womens soccer leagues have already failed in this country, and the current one the nwsl, averages only about 4,400 spectators a game.
