Capitol. 535 letters on board. Now we would say most sensitive and carefully guarded airspace except that is evidently not true. This guy not only got inside the perimeter and something about his hitech as a flying lawn chair he wasnt even trying to sneaking in. Doug hughes planned what he did for years. Talked to his hometown newspaper about it. Was even interviewed by the secret service back in october of 2013. The breaking news late this evening the secret Service Office in tampa denied reports they were given notice earlier today that the flight in fact was going to happen. In any case doug hughes was on the radar not just on trirdhe radar that really counted, today. Im not sure and im not going to commit suicide and im not going to fly into any monuments. Terrorists dont announce their flights before they take off. Okay. Terrorists dont broadcast their flight path. Terrorists dont invite an escort to go along with them. Reporter that video and his website show in great detail what hughes was planning. How he was preparing to be both a pilot and protester in those final moments. This is not good people. Reporter as captured in this exclusive video obtained by the associated press. Ill violate the nofly zone nonviolently. I intend for nobody to get hurt. Im going to land on the capitol lawn in front of the Capitol Building. Im going to have 535 letters strapped to the landing gear in boxes. And those letters are going to be addressed to every member of congress. Reporter hughes who is over 60 speaks in the video of his fear being intercepted by Security Forces long before reaching the capitol. I dont believe that the authorities are going to shoot down a 60yearold mailman in a flying bicycle. Ill give them plenty of warning, well over an hour in advance of me getting to the nofly zone so they know who i am and what im doing and that its intended to be nonviolent. Reporter in the end even as the video shows him loading up his aircraft to bring to it washington he speaks with passion as the need for this dramatic step arguing that in his eyes no less than the fate of the nation rests in Campaign Finance reform. I rather die in the flight than live to be 80 years old and see this country fall. Tom foreman joins us. Do we know if they did give them an hour notice. The fact that he was able to pull this off and land on the capitol lawn people you have cell phone are they surprised by that . Reporter people are astonished by it. They are trying ascertain how much truth is involved. Undeniably plenty of people knew about it in some fashion and the real concern here is we have an air defense system. Right now im standing under what should be a very specific portion of highly highly protected airspace and its built to protect against things like missile attacks and jet fighters and yet as you pointed out a guy in a flying lawn chair was able to make his way in here flying for two years from gettysburg pennsylvania where they believe he took off. Thats a long way to go at a very slow pace for no one to intercept him or do anything about it. Its incredible. President obama was not in town when this unfoldled but was briefed on what happened. So i understand you were Walking Around the Capitol Building killing time before a Job Interview. Can you walk me through what you saw . Yeah. Absolutely. Thank you so much for having me. A weird day for sure. I was walking along the capitol, along the west side of the Capitol Building waiting for this Job Interview. I saw out of nowhere a machine that looked like something from Chitty Chitty bang bang. How quickly did officers approach this guy after he landed . Did you see him being arrested . Yes, i did. The first cop came kind of around the side of the Capitol Building. And stopped him and was yelling something into the walkietalkie. I would say within 45 seconds of his initial landing there were multiple police cars on the scene. The first cop that did respond yelled dont move dont move. He seemed to comply. He did sit still. He didnt seem to be agitated at all. He wasnt being aggressive at all. The cops did approach him. He stood up and they cuffed his hands behind his back and cuffed him and walked him off the grass. Dit look like there was any more security before the guy arrived . Hes claiming in this video that he gave authorities at least an hour warning. Dit look to you like there was any extra security . Thats hard to say around the Capitol Building. There was very highsecurity presence on the east face of the Capitol Building where the motorcade was waiting. Its unclear if actual security was because of that or because it was a capitol bulling. That said it did take about 30 seconds nor than two Police Officers to show up at the scene which isnt very long granted but for an issue of this magnitude. I understand you saw snipers and bomb sniffing dog go around the gyrocopter. Yes. I think thats when a lot of us got concerned. We were watching seeing what was happening and as about maybe one, two minutes more passed a large team of policemen with different rifles and guns started running towards us which is when we got very concerned. There was a bomb sniffing team as well that came very close to the copter. Thats when they told us to run. We were right near the copter and at this point they were concerned about explosives although obviously that wasnt the case and they had us run away from the site. I guess i got to ask did you go ahead and have the Job Interview . I did actually and i got the internship for the summer. All right. Congratulations. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you so much. Have a great night. Because this raises so many questions about stopping potential bad actors and aircraft and obviously awakens deeply powerful memories especially in washington we want to dig deeper. Joining us is a former secret service agent. First are your surprised this guy was able to do this . Yeah. Im stunned. We have two different issues here. Both very serious. We have a detection issue, was he detected. Then we have an interdiction issue. If he wasnt detected and managed to skirt that air defense zone right there without being detected and land on the capitol mall there, we have a serious problem. Particularly if as he said in the video he was going to warn somebody at least an hour in advance. I want to ask you about the use of force guidelines for like the secret service which you used to work for. There has to be we talked about this in the past. There has to be an imminent athlete presented. This guys hughes feared he could potentially be shot down although he said he didnt think anybody would. Exactly. Im glad you bring this up. Theres this misconception with some in the public that because its an aircraft its the National Capitol region either white house or the capitol that use of force guidelines go out the window for federal agents. Thats not the case. You have to present as a subject a athlete of a serious physical injury or death to yourself or someone else before a federal agent or federal Police Officer can use deadly force and make no mistake shooting him out of the sky would have been deadly force and im not sure that he presented either one of those. So it seems theres contradictory information floating. Tampa bay times say neither the secret conversation or Capitol Police in d. C. Knew about this ahead of time. Do you buy this . I was in the protective Intelligence Section in the new york field office. Theres nothing the secret Service Takes more seriously than a athlete case. If i showed you the mound of paper work you had to fill out and the questions you had to ask before you could close the case it would be astounding. You could fill this room full of paper. I fine it extremely hard to believe that the secret service was told about this and just let it fly. Ive been there on the ground. Ive done these investigations. Most of these investigations anderson are managed out of secret Service Headquarters as well. Meaning if you didnt want to do the hallmark as an agent you would have headquarters breathing down your neck. On one hand people might look at this its a guy who is making a protest. The other side is that other potential bad actors might see this see that the guy got away with it and try to do the same thing or something similar with more evil intentions. Absolutely. Thats the big negative generated from this entire thing. Its not this one guys mistake or intentional act. Its the fact that he could potentially inspire others and plant a seed in someone who has really malicious intentions plant it in their head and all of a sudden now they have an idea of what the air picture looks like how long it takes to respond, where they could land. These pictures will be broadcast every where. I think he cause ad bigger problem than just this specific incident. Dan, i appreciate you being on. Thanks.

The jury believed otherwise in the killing of his friends odin lloyd. Madam foreperson charging the defendant Aaron Hernandez with murder. What say you, madam foreperson. Is the defendant not guilty guilty of murder in the first degree or guilty of murder in the seconddegree . Guilty of murder in the first degree. Susan candiotti is reporting hernandez was escorted from the courtroom when he made those remarks professing his innocence. He said hernandez was walking with a swagger he had before his conviction telling his escort in detail and im quoting, hey man ill miss you guys they got it wrong i didnt do it. That same source said a few days ago he praised them ill get out of here and when i do ill get ahold of obama and tell them you should be doing security for the white house. Hell go to another maximum security facility to serve life without parole and hes still facing charges in two other killings. The jury took a long time to convict him more than a week. Susan candiotti on the trial what may have helped jurors reach a decision. Reporter in a packed courtroom Aaron Hernandez stunned at the verdict sits down and shakes his head no. Looking back at his mother and fiancee gasping at the news. Despite his astonishment hernandez manages to mouth to them be strong and im okay. And the family of victim odin lloyd, no less emotional. Openly weeping, shedding tears of relief. Sentencing came a short time later, an opportunity for Lloyds Family members to speak directly to the court and to hernandez. Lloyds mother calling him the back bone of the family. And talking about the pain of burying her only son. I felt like i wanted to go in the hole with my son oh, incident. Reporter his sister fighting back tears as she tells the court his murder easily like a bad dream. I wont ever see him again. But i have to go to his grave site to look at his tomb stone to tell him that i love him. Reporter with that the judge sentences hernandez to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. A tremendous fall from grace for the 25yearold who at the time of the murder was in the middle of a 40 million pro football contract with the new England Patriots. Speaking to the media after the proceeding the jury of seven women and five men described how they were very deliberate in their decisionmaking. And said one of the key moments was testimony from patriots owner robert kraft. Kraft testified hernandez told him he was innocent because the Football Player said he was in a club at the time of the murder. Jurors didnt buy it. We still dont know the exact time of odins murder. Specifically. I dont know how aaron would have had that information two years ago. Even today after medical examiners review still dont have that information. Reporter another big shocker they say, the bomb dropped by the defense team during Closing Arguments, that hernandez was at the crime scene, saw lloyd killed but did not shoot im. The jury therebydeliberated over seven days and said in the end their decision was the right one. Susan candiotti joins us now. Jurors commented on the additional cases pending against hernandez. What did they say . Reporter thats right. They said that it was the judge who told them about the double murder trial coming up in boston Aaron Hernandez being charged with a double murder with evidence anderson that was actually linked to him because of evidence that was uncovered in this case. And that alexander bradley, who was an eyewitness prosecutors say to that double murder is also accusing hernandez, the judge told this jury of shooting him in the face just a few months before odin lloyd was killed. And then the jurors were asked did that help you think that you made the right decision and they said yes, we agree with that. Susan, thanks very much. Well have more on the pending cases against him shortly. First mike branch odin lloyds friend and former football coach. What was your reaction when you heard the verdict today . Actually i didnt know whether to i actually was bottled up with so much emotion that joy or i didnt know if i wanted to cry. Something i hadnt felt. It was a sense of relief but also you know it doesnt bring odin back you know. So its kind of a mixed emotion. And during the trial, odins character was called into question as often happens in these kind of case, the defendants fiancee suggested odin might have been a drug dealer. I under that doesnt sound like the guy you knew. Thats b. S. I would want to Say Something else. Ill tell you this. If someone is a drug dealer youre not going to come to football practice on a bike thats not even brand new. Hes not sending me text help me with equipment. If we went out for a beer or a drink i bought them. The kid never had money. I had to track him down for team dues. There would be signs if and he was drug dealer and thats one of the reasons im here to defend his name and keep his name in good honor because thats not the case. How do you want people to remember odin lloyd . First of all, as a wonderful brother and son. He comes from a remarkable and Strong Family first and foremost. One hell of a Football Player. Ill tell enthusiast. Irreplaceable. Still hasnt replaced his playing ability on the field. And his personality. When were out here none of these guys are being paid. Were having fun for the love of the game. He would bring entertainment and fun to this game and do stuff to make you laugh after he made a big play or Something Like that. Even at times when we go to the gym, working collectively as a group just that sense of humor. That guy. That funny guy. But, you know again, defense has to do their job to portray individuals to defend that individual who they were representing but, again, il
