Omar sooe omar zivillafranca joins us from spring, texas. Reporter good morning. Theres a little rain here in houston to match the somber mood. A vigil was held last night after the burials just blocks away from the home which was the scene of the shooting last wednesday. Mourners here remembered the victims, but they also prayed for cassidy stay the only survivor. God, i pray that you give her strength. Reporter hundreds gathered at a park in spring in the memory of katie and steven stay and their four young children. It was here the stay family took this photo. Friends and neighbors decorated that same swing with ribbons and messages. Its terrifying. No kid should have to go through what cassidy went through. Its not fair. Reporter at a private Funeral Service earlier in the day, six white caskets were wheeled into the familys church, one by one.

Bowe bergdahl from the person he is allowing to speak on his behalf. Bergdahl was released in may after being held captive by the taliban for five years. He was traded for five prisoners at guantanamo bay. Michelle miller is here with bergdahls lawyer with what bergdahls lawyer is saying. Michelle good morning. Good morning. Although he reportedly still has not spoken to his family bergdahl is now reaching out to the president. Sergeant bergdahl is deeply grateful to president obama for having saved his life. Reporter former military prosecutor eugene sigh del is now representing bowe bergdahl. He met with bergdahl last week in san antonio, texas. Although he couldnt discuss what they talked about, he did give his impression of the former p. O. W. I like him as a client. That doesnt always happen but when it does happen its nice. Reporter an initial u. S. Military investigation in 2009 determined that bergdahl deliberately walked away from his unit based on evidence available at the time. If the army decides that there should be disciplinary action given all the circumstances, its a matter of great discretion on the part of senior army commanders. Reporter since his release, a growing number of people have called for bergdahl to be punished for deserting his post including some members of bergdahls former platoon. He chose to take off his gear, put down his weapon and walk away during the middle of the night. Reporter questions also remain about the taliban propaganda videos in which he appeared. As events unfold im sure people will put those videos into perspective and understand them for what they are. Reporter fidell says people should not rush for judgment and urges the public to wait until they hear all sides of the story. Even the most unpopular and villified parties have a right to representation and thats considered a lawyers responsibility. Reporter fidell is taking the case free of charge.
