. >> reporter: and just before noon is when paul lost his temper and choked her to death, drove to a gas station, bought a can of gasoline, later, returned home towards the house. and somewhere along the way, said the prosecutor, he erased it all of those angry text messages she sent him. >> every single one between the defendant and her, every single one is gone. months worth. >> and then paul used jennifer's cell phone to send fake texts to her friends so they believed she was still alive. to support that claim, he introduced an expert witness who testified that texts from paul's phone and texts from jennifer's phone were hitting some of the same cell towers all afternoon. so her phone must have been right there with him in his car, which is why when she missed a meeting with her friend roy, the texts he got from her didn't make sense. they weren't a sensible response to the message he sent her. in fact, he got the same text twice. >> she didn't show up and her phone was off so as soon as i got that repeat text message, i was kind of worried because she wasn't responding to what i

i seen a lot of people throw temper tantrums before, saying they are hearing voices and suicidal and all that. if you're going to do something, you got to play it out to its fullest. >> officers say they won't take risk if an inmate appears to be in a state of distress, it's not the first time they hear one cry wolf. >> you get to know after a while who is pretty much playing a game and who is for real. you know, it just becomes kind of a spidey sense so to speak. >> dixon never made it back to the mental health unit but said he's glad to be free of the restraint chair. >> trust me nobody can get out of that car seat, not the best of the best of the best, not even if you're houdini can you get out of that thing. >>> while inmates in this housing unit are only released from their cells a few at a time they can visit with each other when they are out. >> what's up, man? >> now dixon's old friend, edwin estrada has dropped by. >> you were going crazy. you woke me up. pulling you out naked. seen your [ bleep ] and stuff. >> estrada who admitted to killing an 88-year-old world war ii vet

i'm starting to lose my temper, starting to do things that i normally don't do. and next thing i know, the cops are at my door and i'm getting arrested for domestic violence and criminal damage. and now i'm here doing my time. my mom owns race horses. she is a training owner. it's a loving, caring thing. you know. she babies the horses like they were little babies and i learned to do the same thing. you got to have love and care for them. if you don't, what good is something if you can't really show it love? love is a big thing in the world and we all need it. horses are very beautiful. they're strong, fast, but yet they're very gentle if you train them right. i can't explain it. it is just a love for them, you know? you've got to have it. you know? that's how i came here to m.a.s.h. loving horses. m.a.s.h. don't make me feel like jail. it makes me feel like home sometimes. it don't seem like i'm locked up, a prisoner anymore. when i go back to the yard, it's a different story. when i get here, i feel at home. >> while loomis has discovered a sense of home, the w

tempers flared when comments were posted on the nation's state-run media site and attributed it to the amir of that country. now, at the time officials said they were fake and posted by hackers, but that claim was rejected by four nations, including bah raun and the united arab emirates, and they all cut diplomatic ties with that country. now, u.s. intelligence officials say that the uae did orchestrate the hacking. nbc news correspondent ali aruzi is with us. how did the u.s. get involved? this was a very significant development in the region. >> that's right. earlier this year saudi arabia, the uae, egypt, and bahrain accused qatar of financing and supporting terrorism and extremist groups and interfering in the affairs of other states. they made a list of demands to the qataris to stop supporting these things such as the muslim brotherhood, to distance themselves from iran and to shut down al jazeera news network, which is owned by the qataris. they didn't aquiesce. the spat kept growing. now they believe that the uae called for qatari government social media web sites to be hacked

i didn't really lose my temper. i told him get off my bed. i smacked him, got him pretty good with the palm of my hand. he fell back and hit the concrete part, edge of my bunk when he went backwards. yeah he was bleeding. he bled pretty good. i had to change his clothes and change his shirt because he had blood on him. he was sitting here talking and everything was fine. >> salmons says several hours later, his cell mate was lying on the floor, but that he often slept on the floor. >> about 3:00 in the morning, i woke up and kicked his feet on the way to the bathroom. he didn't move. i knew something was wrong. i could feel it. >> salmons says he pressed the cell's emergency call button, but it took some 40 minutes for deputies to respond. >> i can tell you nothing other than inmates lie all the time for their own reasons. this case was certainly no exception. you have to start with the premise i don't and none of the jail staff wants someone to get hurt or killed. none us would. even if we were lacked any compassion at all, it's a lot of wor

. >> i had a bad temper problem. i regret it, i really do. there's one thing i finally realized, i't doing this time alone. my family's doing it with me. and i'm hurting them more than i'm hurting myself. they're out there missing me like crazy, especially my daughter. >> now only a few weeks away from his release date, gonzalez must not only try to stay out of trouble, he must also control his compulsion to cut. >> sometimes the physical pain wipes away the emotional pain, at least for the time being anyway. that's one reason. another reason is there might be a situation going on where we're trying to holler at the c.o. or sergeant and they want to ignore us. we cut ourselves and then we scream out there and say, i cut myself, i'm bleeding. then they hurry up and get back here. >>> coming up, with his release only days away, rudy gonzalez cuts again. >> when i did that, oh, i got everybody's attention then, everybody in that [ bleep ] room wanted to talk to me. tripadvisos more than 200 booking sites to find the hotel you want and save you u

this setting, tempers will flare. violence will break out over just about anything. but some inmates are learning alternatives to survival of the fittest. >> who's going to be my main actor first, leo? >> i give you today, he say he's going to let me get the tray. you didn't give me it. you sold it to somebody else. you've got two items for the price of one. what's up with that? >> it's jail, man. it's the hustle. you know what i'm saying? we don't get up for breakfast, you can have the breakfast tray if you want. >> amy boch created a program called turning leaf. >> remember, you are thinking of different ways to apologize involves brainstorming two different ways you can at least apologize to somebody, okay? >> it's geared towards offenders who will soon be released in hopes they won't return or at least not escalate their criminal activity. >> i can go ahead on and tell him to get over it. he's not getting a honey bun. i go ahead and apologize to him now because that would be the right thing to do and i did give my word. >> you're right. it's my fault. tomorrow's

. >> the cramped quarters can cause tempers to flare. >> where you going? what's happening? >> fight. >> deputies have just broken up a fight between josh franklin and darrick elmore. it occurred somewhere between park place and marvin gardens. >> couldn't beat me in monopoly, that's it. got jacked. got jacked up. >> what's going on? >> we were playing monopoly, basically. he just made a big scene out of it. talking about i'm not doing it correctly. basically tried to put me down like i was doing it badly. know what i'm saying? it was in a very disrespectful manner. >> so he hit you? >> just happened so fast. >> did you fight back? >> not really. >> so then who threw the first punch? >> he hit me first. >> he hit you where? >> hit me on this side of my face here. >> right here, by your eye? >> yes, sir. i ran up to defend myself, and i dual punched him. >> inmate elmore didn't want to tell the story, inmate franklin did, therefore we took the time to speak with other inmates in the block to determine what actually occurred. >> so then the light-skinned guy hit the black guy

i mean, he takes a lot of the anger and temper away. makes it easier to cope in here. because when i do feel like i'm about ready to go and do something stupid or whatever, i just hold him in my lap, pat him, stroke him a few times, and you look at those big bette davis eyes and you think, hey, this guy depends on me. i've got to take care of him. you know? >> while stone's cats might have helped to rein him in, it's hard to say what, if anything, will help josh harrison. after being caught with a knife, he has been confined to the prison's pre-seg lockdown unit located on the fifth floor of "d" cell house. and now he's in even more trouble. >> he's been asking about his cable all day. he has tv, but he doesn't have any cable. and he had mentioned that if he doesn't get his cable fixed by 5:30, he's going to burn the next officer down. meaning he's going to throw either urine or feces on the next officer or possibly the next worker that comes up there. while i was standing there trying to talk some common sense into him, he took his pipe from his light switch, and he w

here people are here for life so people can snap easily, and there's a lot of small tempers and fights over small stuff, like soap and the tv. that's why i just stay in my rack and do my time and get my head down, for real this time, not get caught up in any trouble. >> coming up, a tearful promise from a mother to put her marine son before drugs. >> i don't want to miss any more time with you. i want you to come home next time. i'm going to be home, you know. >>> when paula rivas gets reck ♪go your own way once-daily anoro contains two medicines called bronchodilators, that work together to significantly improve lung function all day and all night. anoro is not for asthma . it contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. the risk is unknown in copd. anoro won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, prostate, bladder, or urinary problems. these may worsen with anoro. call your doctor if you have worsened breathing, chest

he actually is -- has a temper. and in the interview that we did, one of the first questions, question that got his date of birth wrong, and within 30 seconds he was banging the table to say how could you get my date of birth wrong. this is a fundamental thing. i thought the whole interview was going to fall apart. eventually it did when one of our questioners asked him about religious freedom in russia and he walked out of the interview. so this cool, calm customer is not so cool and calm always. >> it's really interesting because not only did the president shake his hand but he then patted him on the back. i guess he was psyched or steeled putin was not to react adversely. maybe it's not paranoia if you're vladmir putin and avoiding shaking hands, it's more than being a germaphobe. what about the political impact of the things that president trump has said in hamburg? demeaning the intelligence agencies and suggesting that, well, who knows whether it really was russia meddling in our election. >> i think it sends

president trump seems unlikely to discard a lifetime of operating habits and learn to stick to a plan and temper self destructing instincts. you have to stop the end wars to date. and twitter saying quote there is no white house chaos. believe that if you will. sarah sucker sanders will determine who gets access to the president. >> when it comes to the people who have access to the president, will that conduit be narrowed down now? will everything flow through kelly or will some things flow through the chief of staff? >> the president has given full authority to general kelly and he will make those determinations. >> the office of anthony scaramucci today is the first sign the president intends to give kelly that authority. and right now, two experts. matt schlapp, and eugene robins. the inside guy, first. you. you know i talked to someone from our country's history who said i will take the job of chief of staff if they get the two kids out of there. his son-in-law, daughter, his son, he trust them more than any hireling. despite that, the general, general kelly, apparently wooed for this job s

general kelly knows a lot about what it is like to be at war and also how to deal with hot tempers but we have the wall street going after trump saying priebus wasn't the problem and going after the president saying can kelly do what reince priebus wasn't able to do and that the other thing that was said in this is that mr. trump has a soft spot for military men, so perhaps he'll listen to mr. kelly. do you think that general kelly can basically crack down this white house and get it ready for prime time? >> i think that is the great question. the "wall street journal" is absolutely right, the source of the chaos is that president trump likes having a kayotic white house. he likes having different power centers that are at each other's throat and fighting at his feet as he presides over the dysfunction and figures out who is in the dog house and who is in his favor every day and that is a recipe for leaks for sure and for dysfunction as well. and so bringing in a military man clearly president trump likes to surround himself with military men, i'm not sure why that would change the und

kasowitz, also known for having a hot temper. now, you might remember last night on this show we had bloomberg news reporter, investigative reporter greg ferrell here. greg ferrell and a colleague yesterday reported for bloomberg this seemingly very important story. you see the head line, mueller expands probe to trump business transactions. the reason i say this was a seemingly very important story is in part because of the freak out it seems to have occasions in the white house. that bloomberg article came out yesterday, mid morning. updated a couple of times during the day but initially came out med morning yesterday. by the time we were on the air last night, these were the stories that were break in the washington post and in the "the new york times" about the president considering his pardon powers, having his legal team discuss who he's allowed to pardon, including considering the question of whether he's allowed to pardon himself. and the white house trying to cook up ways to discredit robert mueller, the special counsel'

so that area of the brain is called the left temperal lobe. we know he went home quickly after surgery. so that's always a good sign. what we don't know is probably more than what we do know, and that is, we don't know if he's on blood thinners, which would predispose him to developing a blood clot. we don't know if he had trauma or had fallen. we do know he has a history of melanoma. and that's probably sort of the red flag out there for us interpreting this information, is did -- does he have -- he's had a history of melanoma that has recurred. is this another melanoma lesion. melanoma lesions happen to be likely to bleed. probably one of the other things we don't know is where exactly the bleed occurred. it can happen between the skull and the layer of the brain called the dura or a sub did you recall hematoma. according to outside experts, that's one of the leading possibilities at this time, given his age. >> which is 80. >> which is 80. that's an area where there starts to be some natural retraction of the brain, and so those what we cal

. >>> let's talk about tempers flaring when comments were posted an a nation's state run media site. at the time qatar officials said they were fake and posted by hackers. that claim was rejected by foreign nations. and they cut ties, but now u.s. intelligence officers are saying the uae said orchestrate the hacking. david ignatius, obviously, the uae ambassador of the united states denied that, but my gosh, this is a tangled web, and it's not made any easier to follow when you have our secretary of state saying one thing and the president of the united states saying another. where do we stand right now as we sort through the debris of relationship with two allies? >> joe, this may seem like sort of a family feud and a rich guy's club with these very wealthy persian gulf nations, but it is getting to a level of seriousness that i hear is really worrying u.s. officials. the latest revelation that you mentioned in the washington post runs a story this morning saying that the uae may have been responsible for the initial hack that led to comments that were used as the reason for breakin

jared and ivanka were expected to at least temper the hard right policy positions being pushed by other presidential advisors. if this indeed is what they are trying to do, they've had a negligible impact to date writing in "time" henry kissinger wished well, quote, in his daunting role flying close to the sun, unquote. jared and ivanka have first class educations, gene writes, they know how the icarus story ends. gene, it's filled with more than just irony that jared kushner is now actually the pivot point of this probe thus far. >> there is something of a greek myth in all this, isn't there? i mean, the background jared and ivanka, son and daughter of famous successful men. jared son of a real estate developer who went to federal prison for his transgressions. both this new generation sort of in a sense being the socially acceptable generation, redeeming their fathers in a way, yet here they are in the middle of this mess. and jared kushner especially, i mean, he is -- recall that he forgot or did not list that meeting with the head of a mobbed up russian bank that's under u.s. sancti
