Well, shes of course waiting very patiently, has been for a very long time for this verdict. She was preparing her final statement and as we are, hoping for the best and prepared for the worst.

(TRACK) Courtesy: 48 Hours
Berenson was convicted of conspiring with leftist rebels in Peru in 1996 - by a secret military court - and sentenced to life in prison. While she admits she rented a house used by the rebels as a hide-out, she denies she knew their real identities. For the last 5 years, Berenson has been confined to a special prison for terrorists in the Andes Mountains.

(SOT - 10:39:15) Lori Berenson
For almost 2 years I was isolated and not able to see anyone, hear anyone, talk to anyone.

After years of pressure from the United States, Peru overturned Berensons conviction in August - leading to a new trial. Berensons father hopes "this" outcome will be fair.

(SOT) Marc Berenson - Loris Father
If you look at the facts that have been presented in this trial, you have only one conclusion: there is no evidence against Lori Berenson. She is innocent of these charges and she must be released.

(SEDGWICK COUNTY, KS)
This video shot from inside a police cruiser shows Deputy Robert Burkhead and a woman standing behind her car. They're on a bridge over the Arkansas river..
Suddenly she makes a break for the edge-... Just as she leaps to what would have been certain death-the deputy lunges after her.
Holding her shirt with his right hand-he goes over with her-but somehow Burkhead grabs the concrete railing with his left hand-and they dangle there for a few seconds.

(SOT DEPUTY SHERIFF ROBERT BURKHEAD/SEDGWICK COUNTY, KS)
"My whole idea was just to just hold on as tight and as long as I could. Right below where she jumped was a concrete support for the bridge and basically my arm acted just like a rope swinging her to deeper water between the pillars."
The woman fell 45 feet to the river below. Another Police officer on the scene then sprinted down to the riverbank-dived in and saved her.

(SOT BURKHEAD)
"I was very impressed by his bravery, He's not a very good swimmer and had all his gear on. He selflessly jumped in the water and swam out to the middle of the river and towed her back in. It was amazing."
It all began late Sunday afternoon when police received a call that a suspicious person had been seen on the bridge.

(SOT BURKHEAD)
"When we fist pulled up on scene there was another officer, Douglas Prior who was already on scene and he had talked to her she had told him that her car had broken down. When I talked to her she gave me a different story. She told me she was considering committing suicide.
What happened next was a combination of guts, brains and luck-it's what turns an ordinary deputy into a hero.

((HERE COMES MARK WARNER, THE HERO OF THE HILLS.)) [RUNS:04]
After a month of heavy T-V face time, and in the week after voters around the state picked him two urban running mates, Democratic candidate Mark Warner is still up.
In our latest NEWS 7/Mason-Dixon poll, Warner leads Republican Mark Earley by five percentage points, 45-40, in a poll with a margin of error of plus or minus four points.
But Mark Earley has gained ground since our last poll in March, when Warner had a seven point lead, and it was a 44-37 contest.
Since March, of course, Earley's won his party's nomination in a June 2nd convention, stepped down from the Attorney General's office, and hit the fundraising trail to try to erase a huge cash disadvantage.
The Warner ads have clearly paid off in name recognition.
95 percent in our poll recognize the Democratic entrepreneur.
87 percent recognize Republican Earley, even though he's held statewide office for three years.
But its the regional results that best show what Mark Warner's strategy is and has to be to win.
He is strong in his home base of northern Virginia, with a 50-35 showing over Earley.
He is almost equally strong in Roanoke and Southwest, with a 49- 36 advantage.
And even on Earley's home turf of Hampton Roads, Mark Warner has a 46 to 40 percent edge.
Not surprisingly, Mark Earley wins in Lynchburg and Southside, where he polls 43 percent support to Warner's 38 percent.
Earley also takes the Shenandoah Valley and Piedmont regions with 47 percent to Warner's 40 percent.
But for comparison, Republican George Allen won those regions by about 20 and 25 percentage points in last fall's poll.
They have lately been bigtime Republican country.

He makes the tremendous diving catch to end the inning and keep Wakefield's no-no alive. He also had good run support at the plate, as former Lynchburg RedSox star Trot Nixon hit two solo homers including this one in the 9th. That turned out to be a big run, because Randy Wynn would ruin the no-hitter in the bottom of the ninth with this single.
