Return to index of stories...
"TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE" TONIGHT WRITES THE GRAND JURY -- WHO SAY THEY WERE COMPELLED TO LET THE TEENAGERS GO BECAUSE THE FORT MYERS POLICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T SHOW THEM ANY SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

Return to index of stories...
THEY ARGUE THE EVIDENCE ABOUT THE JUNE 28TH DEADLY SHOOTING WOULDN'T HOLD UP IN COURT.
SO THEY COULDN'T INDICT LEONARD OR DEJERION STEWART.

LEONARD THEN CHANGED HIS STORY AND TOLD INVESTIGATORS STEWART MASTERMINDED THE ROBBERY AND SHOT HUANG INSIDE THE WEST CHASE APARTMENT COMPLEX -- JUST MOMENTS AFTER HE DROPPED OFF FOOD FROM TUNG HING RESTAURANT.
SINCE THE TWO ARE TEENAGERS AND ARE ENTITLED TO A SPEEDY TRIAL, THE GRAND JURY ARGUES THE CLOCK IS TICKING FOR F-M-P-D TO BRING PHYSICAL EVIDENCE TO THE TABLE.
THE DEPARTMENT HAS ABOUT 70 DAYS LEFT TO PRESENT EVIDENCE LIKE D-N-A OR FINGERPRINTS TO THE JURY -- OTHERWISE THEY'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO ARREST THE TWO FOR THE KILLING.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
RAIN RETURNING THIS WEEKEND
Moisture is beginning to entrench southwest Florida, and we'll notice it this weekend.
Partly sunny skies can be expected, but with an increase in moisture we will have a slight uptick in our rain prospects. They'll mainly be afternoon showers and storms. Sunday looks to be the wetter day as a tropical wave moves closer. This will give us a better coverage of showers and storms during the day.
Tonight, our skies will stay mostly clear with lows in the upper 70s.
Highs tomorrow will easily climb into the middle 90s with heat index values in the low 100s.
This will be a brief return to our typical rainy season pattern, before some drier and hotter weather returns by the middle of next week.
The tropics continue to be quiet!

EACH, WITH ITS OWN STORY.
BUT NOT ALL ARE AS FORTUNATE.
Ava Hinojosa, CROW 13:51:36-40 "If we didn't get it when we did, it probably would not have survived." 13:50:57-07 "This juvenile bird was found in Fort Myers, we took it in and found by its blood work that it was actually starving to death."
Clifton French, NBC2 at 5:00 08:42-50 "That Osprey's story started about a month ago, when it was found in Fort Myers by a couple of vacationers, that's when it came here to CROW where it underwent extensive rehab."
Heather Barron, Hospital Director 13:59:57-59 "He was literally skin and bones."
HEATHER BARRON IS THE HOSPITAL DIRECTOR AT CROW.
SHE SAYS THIS OSPREY WAS SUFFERING FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION AND STARVATION. AFTER BEING KICKED OUT OF HIS NEST BY HIS PARENTS.
Heather Barron, Hospital Director14:01:07-"He had to learn to fend for himself and apparently he did not do that very well."
IT WAS HERE WHERE, HE GOT THE ATTENTION HE NEEDED.
WITH PLENTY OF FLUIDS. AND LOTS OF FOOD.
HIS BODY WEIGHT INCREASED BY A THIRD.
BUT THE ORDEAL MAY HAVE HELPED THE YOUNG OSPREY IN THE LONG RUN.
FOUND IN FORT MYERS. IT'S BEING RELEASED ON CAPTIVA, WITH A LARGER OSPREY POPULATION, AND A HIGHER CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL.
Ava Hinojosa, CROW 13:52:28-34 we have a great environment here on Captiva, hopefully it's going to find a mate and live forever."
