[ crowd noise ] >> families come to blows outside the courtroom as a crime-fighting handyman is charged with murder. >> and what comes next for lance armstrong? >> cameras were there this afternoon when 49ers wide

receiver michael crabtree almost missed the team bus heading for the airport. tonight we know there is far more serious drama surrounding him: an accusation of sexual assault. julia is at the hall of justice in the city tonight. >> reporter: tonight, san francisco police are investigating the sexual assault allegation involving 49ers wide receiver michael crabtree. as of tonight, cbs 5 has learned he is in atlanta right now with his team. >> reporter: san franciscos me say the alleged -- san francisco police say the alleged assault involving michael crabtree occurred in a san francisco hotel room last sunday morning after the 49ers' playoff victory over the packers. today, he was practicing with the team in santa clara. our cameras caught him literally running late to board the bus as it was on route to the airport and then onto

atlanta. the police department said "michael crabtree has been interviewed with his lawyer present and has cooperated in this investigation. michael crabtree has not been detained or arrested and has agreed to make himself available." the 49ers are aware of the allegations and say they take such matters very seriously. the team has they have nothing further comment as the legal ares is ongoing -- process is ongoing. fans say no one should rush to judgment until the investigation is complete. >> i think she's lying. why would he do that? he comes to san francisco and he can get whatever he wants of the he's a hero here. >> reporter: the sexual assault allegation is being investigated by the special victims' unit and will be presented to the district attorney's office. but as of tonight, the wide receiver is in atlanta and is expected to

play in sunday's nfc championship game. >> it's really interesting, he's having such a great year. and 48 hours ago, the 49ers confirmed that crabtree will play in sunday's nfc championship game. the investigation comes on the heels of one of the best games of his career. he caught 9 passes for 119 yards and 2 touchdowns in saturday's win over the packers. but the former 1st-round pick has always been a mystery. he wears his sunglasses during postgame press conferences and rarely speaks with the media during the week. he came into the league with the reputation as a bit of a diva. he missed five games in his rookie season thanks to a holdout that required mc hammer's help to broker a deal. he's very

passionate about designing his shoes, and also would like to design clothes one day. but don't expect the nfl to pass judgment on him anytime soon until the investigation is complete. >> a whole process that's protected by the players' association. right. just 81 collin colin kaepernick indicated he is focused and ready for sunday's game. mark sayer is at the training facility. >> reporter: all eyes on colin kaepernick. here is the site of the new stadium. he answered questions about his love of football and fast food. >> reporter: he may be the hottest player in the nfl right now, but he certainly doesn't talk that way. >> this is 100% a business trip. i mean , this is what we work for all season, all

offseason. >> reporter: how about reaching his childhood dream of playing for the 49ers and going to the conference championship game after just two months as a starting quarterback? >> i don't have time to stop and think right now. too much work to be done. >> reporter: if the stress and the stakes of sunday's game are weighing on kaepernick, he doesn't show it. he appeared in a postpractice news conference in an under shirt, shorts and socks and talked about his admitted love of fast food. >> nef been a big nutrition guy. if i work out enough, i feel like i'm going to be all right. >> reporter: he used to really like big macs. >> mot so much mcdonald's anymore. >> reporter: the new favorite? >> i eat a lot of five guys right now. >> reporter: he was previously a baseball player drafted by the cubs in 2009. he passed on that offer to continue his football career at nevada. >> there's a passion about football that no other sport can

give you. in football, if one player messes up on offense, the whole play is done. >> reporter: will the coach be facing his older brother coaching the ravens in the super bowl? coach jim harbaugh was asked about that and he was told they haven't spoken in the past week. so there's been no discussion among the harbaugh brothers about meeting up in the super bowl. >> they're kin but they could be potential enemies pretty quick. >> all business. a coffee shop in colin kaepernick's hometown named a drink after him. the problem is they misspelled his name! colin has one l, not two! the drink is red velvet powder mixed with black tiger espresso. lance armstrong has been spilling the dirty truth.

the disgraced cyclist was more emotional in tonight's portion of his 2-part confession to oprah. he apologized to his fans and all those who believed in him. in part 2 of his interview, the disgraced cyclist spoke directly to those who wore his live-strong bracelets and stood by him during his decade of lying about doping. >> i understand your anger, your sense of betrayal. you supported me forever. through all of this, and you believed. and i lied to you. and i'm sorry. >> reporter: armstrong said his first wife knew about the use of performance enhancing drugs. he also said his lowest moment wasn't his being stripped of his cycling titles. it was when his own live-strong foundation asked him to step away. >> it was the best thing for

the organization. but it hurt like hell. >> reporter: he got emotional when talking about how one of his children had been defending him to kids in school. >> i told luke -- i said -- >> i said don't defend me anymore. >> reporter: armstrong's confession may eventually help him to lift a lifetime ban in competitive sports. before then, he will likely face several lawsuits that could wipe out his estimated net worth of $100 million. >> he concedes he has an uphill battle to get back into sports. the antidoping agency says to even consider it, he needs to confess under oath. was he simply protecting property or did he cross the line?

an apartment complex handyman who killed a suspected car burglar appeared in court charged with murder. outside the courtroom, the case boiled over. and as joe vasquez shows us, deputies had to jump in to separate two feuding families. [ crowd noise ] >> reporter: outside the santa clara courthouse, emotions boil over as a confrontation between two families breaks out into a fight. [ screaming ] >> reporter: cops surround the back in the black t-shirt and slap cuffs on her. she is the 18-year-old daughter of chris soriano, the san jose man shot to death on new year's eve. >> reporter: the folks in white t-shirts are family and friends of luiz ricardo hernandez, a handy man who is behind bars for killing soriano he want is charged with murder. his family believes he was simply trying to

make a citizen's arrest of a man he believed was burglarizing a car. >> the request is to let him go and to set a bail that this family can put forward! >> the man had an illegal gun. he had no right to kill my son! >> reporter: the people in black t-shirts disagree. they are family and supporters of sorian owner the man who was killed. >> how can you say somebody's a hero when they take the law into their own hands? he had an illegal gun and he killed a man, a father of five children. took my son away from me! [ crying ] >> reporter: hernandez's hearing today was brief, less than five minutes. as it ended, the two families left the courthouse together. and that's when the war of words led to the fight outside. [ screaming ] >> reporter: no charges were filed in the fight, but the da released a statement this afternoon about mr. hernandez.

"mr. hernandez had no legal excuse or justification for using deadly force on an unarmed man." the district attorney went on to say this will play out inside the courtroom. the woman whose cellphone video sparked a domestic violence investigation against a san francisco sheriff is filing a lawsuit. i've beenry madison who shot -- ivory madison is suing mirkarimi for defamation. she lives next door to him. as a bloody standoff continues in the sahara, america has a new terrorist enemy. what we know about the man known as 1-eye. >> and it's not just the 49ers on tap this weekend. what's new for this year's mavericks competition? >> and say goodbye to 2-buck
