murderer they believe to be someone who is on the run and won't be showing up today. they haven't gotten any cooperation from his family. that judge will decide if, that judge will decide what to do with those pardoned, so there is that likelihood that they could be taken back into custody if these pardoned are somehow overruled. >> you mentioned the attorney general. explain to me the argument here on behalf of the a.g. to overturn the governor -- the pardons -- why he would want to overturn them. forgive me. >> no problem. what the a.g. is going to argue, he says according to mississippi state constitution, these people who apply for these pardons have to announce these, that they're applying for these, for 30 days, in newspapers, wherever these crimes might have occurred, and the a.g. is saying that insufficient notice is given in some of these cases, the murder suspects only published these announcements for 28 days inn stead of the required 30 days, and the a.g. is going to argue that because of those two missing days, the pardons should be overturned. >> okay. we'll be watching for it, or i know you and wolf will be watching for it. now to this. a possible boost for embryonic stem cell research from a study that shows these stem cells may actually help people. now we go to elizabeth cohen who i know was about to board a flight today, hopped off to shirt wisit here with me and tell me the news. >> embryonic stem cell research is controversial because it involves using newborn stem cells. but this one involves two girls who were blind and they could see. one of them woke up and said, oh, there's carves in that. i can see the detail. one woman walked into a room with her husband and said, look at the scuffs on that floor. i don't like that painting. when they try it out on more, it might not work, but it might work. we're talking about things like macular degeneration which millions of people have. this is quite exciting. it is sort of going towards the proof of principle that these emb embryonic stem cells may actually work. >> where are they coming from? >> they're coming from the ucla research laboratory. they made these little embry os that were in the lab, and they implanted them in the mother but they had leftovers. so they said, here, do a study on them. the embryos would have been destroyed, anyhow, so she decided to use it on research. some people think this is murder and they don't care if these women have better visions. it will be interesting to see if the voices get louder. >> so because of embryos that would have been destroyed from ivf, they allowed these people to see. >> to see better. i don't know about seeing, but see better. reynolds wolf is standing by for us in clay. this is one of the towns destroyed by the storms. i know it suggests a tornado hit. reynolds, walk around and show me what you see. >> absolutely. we are in, as you mentioned, clay, alabama. this is the community of georgebrook. families behind me were watching the nfcaa championships on tv. somewhat quiet. and now look, the sky is blue and wreckage is everywhere. it happened around 3:45 to 4:00 a.m. these people did have warning. there were tornado sirens. they had at least an hour's notice before the tornado came through this valley and caused this problem. georgebrook is a community that has less than 100 homes. they believe anywhere from 25 to 30 homes completely obliterated the others severe damage. the amazing thing out of this, only one severe injury and they expect that person to recover. one of the things about this is the randomness. you'll notice on one side we see a lot of wreckage, but over here to our right, you'll notice there are several rows of houses that are completely unscathed. this is just a snapshot of the wreckage around this community. a lot of people are coming through this little street behind me. a lot are homeowners, friends, relatives, and they'll actually come to this checkpoint behind me. if you're a resident of this neighborhood, law enforcement will let you through. i can tell you, we can hear the background helicopters overhead surveying the damage, and a lot of chain saws, too, to break up the roadways. watching this tornadic activity, the devastation, second time in less than a year. >> i remember talking to you in tuscaloosa last time. reapprecia we appreciate you on the ground in clay, alabama. and that is our reporter roulette. big changes at the company that makes blackberry. see what they may mean for your business. then cnn in depth this week. we're looking at money and politics focusing on a behind-the-scenes man. he's rich and he puts his moneys where his values are. earlier this hour, they were men you probably didn't know. but their purpose in life was a heck of a lot more important than some of the other people making news today. i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on top of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed.

where did he work? >> he worked at mexicana airlines, and the big thing is trying to figure out his last days and who his associates were. los angeles police obviously have spent a lot of time at the building where he lived but also trying to build this back story on who he might have associated with. they said definitely that this is a domestic-related murder. i won't say definitely, but that's the direction they're going in now as opposed to, you know, a gang or that he was targeted some other way. >> okay, so you say domestic because obviously you think when you find a severed head, i think drug cartels. you mention he had worked for mexican airline. are you saying they're ruling out any connection there? >> they don't rule out anything for sure, obviously, because anything can go any direction in the investigation, but they said early indications, based on their evidence, is that it is related to something domestic. they're not saying exactly what that is and who the person or people that that would be related to. but definitely that's kind of a key strand of the investigation as it now stands. >> now, in your paper this morning, i read the article where you hear this neighbor, what was it, on the second floor hearing some commotion on the floor above him some three weeks ago. tell me more about that. >> yeah, we have this neighbor saying that the only issue at this point is that related to any kind of homicide, buecause, as you know also, police said they believe that the body parts that were found, it was a recent killing, maybe within 48 hours of when those parts were found. but clearly, it suggests that maybe something was going on in the lead-up, and that's another thing, police have been really talking to neighbors and really trying to get -- build this timeline out. >> as soon as you find out more. l.a. times. reesht i appreciate it. now this. >> he and gingrich met in the mid-'90s in washington. it was an accidental meeting in the hallway. they since bonded. >> we're going to introduce you to sheldon addleson. he's the eighth richest person in america. he's also very good buds with newt gingrich. we're taking a look at how addleson's money and power is affecting newt gingrich's run. back in 70 seconds with that. as we look in depth to campaign 2012, we're going to look at some of the millionaires and billion airs to toss money at the election and help determine a winner. at least for today, vegas casino magna magnateadel drk adelson. he just gave a million dollars to gingrich's campaign. didn't give it directly, did it under the campaign law. here's what happened. the romney pack shelled out more than $2 million in south carolina, and the romney campaign itself dropping 1.92 million, so the total there just over $4 million. to the pro-gingrich pack, they spent about 1 and three-quarters million. total there, $2.4 million. the bottom line, gingrich didn't buy his campaign and adelson didn't buy it for him. bottom line, one of these two could be our next president. who is this guy? >> sheldon adelson may be the richest man you've never heard of, and he likes it that way. >> if you change the status quo of any business, success will follow you like a shadow. >> he is the son of a boston cabbie who has risen to number 8 on the forbes list. the man now has an estimated $5 bill. this is a personal favor to newt gingrich. he and gingrich met in the mid-'90s in washington. it was kind of an accidental meeting in a hallway. they since bonded. >> they first bonded over israel where adelson has poured tens of millions of dollars to a peace charity. when gingrich said this on television last month -- >> we've had an invented palestinian people -- >> -- adelson agreed, and most of his dealings are public. >> those of you who know me, you know most of my political dealings are to the right. at least on a scale of 1 to 10, atilla the hun was too lib wal for he backs a newspaper in europe that has become the most widely read newspaper. adelson has poured money into county commissioner races, attacking pro pid un. adelson is also surrounded by loud guards. someone vandalized his home writing dead jews in soap, and the coalition union apologized for a picket sign reading, this is adelson's waling wall. he's given over $10,000 to campaigns. he's also donated to -- as for the $500 million donation to gingrich's pack, a close source says adelson hopes it will help his friend do well in the primary. >> casey, thank you. we want to hear from you this week as we go in depth on money and politics. question. have you donated to a campaign?
