Impeachment of President Trump. The House Judiciary Committee proving ground rules for impeachment hearings which chairman jerry nadler says are set to start next week. To be clear, this is a technical step. Chairman nadler says the hearings will help lawmakers decide whether to recommend articles of impeachment for conduct he calls a threat to our democracy. With these new procedures, we will Begin Next Week an aggressive series of hearings investigating allegations of corruption, obstruction, and abuse of power against the president. The investigation will go well beyond the four corners of the mueller report. Shepard republicans on the committee called todays vote charade. They point out the entire house has to vote to begin impeachment inquiry into the president. The Judiciary Committee has become a giant instagram filter to make it appear something is happening is not. Shepard the resolution lets President Trump and his legal team respond to Committee Proceedings in real time. I let chairman nadler decide which hearings are part of the investigation which some democrats say could speed up the process. It allows staff attorneys to directly question witnesses in those hearings. Chairman nadler calling this a necessary step in the months long investigation into President Trump. Chad pergram is with us. Hes our senior producer for capitol hill. What does this mean . It sets the parameters of the investigation. Impeachment is a radioactive word, something democrats are struggling with want to come to the vocabulary. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was tired of getting peppered with questions about the semantics of impeachment earlier today, and she shut down impeachment questions at her press conference this morning. A followup, are you uncomfortable with the term impeachment inquiry . Is there another term we should be using . Thank you all very much. Why is it that you are hung up on a word over here when lives are at stake over there. Thank you all very much. Its an issue democrats are struggling with. Nancy pelosi trying to pivot the conversation back to guns and the environment and other issues the democrats are working on. You could see a risk for democrats here, especially liberals, if they view with the democrats on the Judiciary Committee are doing as a panacea. Imagine a scenario where they never get to impeachment and those liberals think they been thrown under the bus. Shepard the juggling of the semantics here really has most to do, chad, with those democrats who won in sort of trumpish districts. They are afraid about impeachment, the i word. Anthony ran d. C. As a freshman democrat from upstate new york. He flipped estate from red to blue last cycle. Concerned at all about, you represent a swing district, democrats, the leadership pushing too much on impeachment . I would say as a democrat representing a modern district, the voters back home sent me here to get things done. I talked last night with a freshman democrat from southern florida. She is concerned about this. She also flipped a district. Heres what she said. It is sucking all the air out of the good things were doing. You can see during the markup ascension, tom mcclintock, republican from california said i double dog dare you to impeach the president. Thats the problem for democrats. Republicans are trying to portray the democrats as to extreme. They dont have to do too much ground work of democrats pushed too far. Shepard chad pergram, thank you. Gun laws and whether to change them. The white house now says President Trump is possibly open to signing into law legislation to expand background checks for gun sales. It notes he could talk about it with Republican Leaders this night during the g. O. P. s retreat in baltimore. The Development Comes as executives from more than 140 Companies Including big ones like uber and twitter and levi strauss sent a joint letter to congress and it those leaders urged the senate to pass gun Safety Measures that have already passed in the house. John roberts live at the white house. Since the el paso, dayton and odessa shootings, the president has said they be there as loopholes and background check legislation. Right now the ceos coming heres the letter they sent, they are looking to the senate o take action. A lot of people say the house has been taking action by the senate hasnt been doing anything. This ceo say we urge the senate to stand with the America Public and take a stand on gun safety by passing a bill requiring background checks on all gun sales on a strong red flag law. The president to support these red flag laws, as they are called, red flag protection orders. The question is how far is he willing to go on the issue of background checks . The white house is dont expect president to make any public announcements about that today. West virginia senator joe manchin who together with republican pat toomey and democrat chris murphy had put together a measure that would expand background checks, he says he may hear something by days end. Im encouraged. We will find out today. The president knows its all up to him. I think youll make the final decision how he will be involved, how much he wants to be involved in what type of piece of legislation he would sign on. President trump is under pressure from the National Rifle association not to give anything away but manchin has been counseling the president tell him theres things he can do. I said mr. President , there are strong gun groups who oppose you doing anything on bump stocks but you did it and it didnt harm you at all. It didnt hurt you at all with your base and this will not either. If anything, i think it would increase his base. Its a president ial moments and im hoping he takes advantage of it. This is a president ial moment and i hope he takes advantage of it. The president s supporters say they do believe that he will throw his weight behind something that can garner bipartisan support. South carolina senator Lindsey Graham earlier today. I think the president understands the nature of the problem and with his leadership, i think we can get a compromise. Our democratic colleagues have been pretty reasonable and if the white house doesnt sound off, its not going to go anywhere. Like the ceos, democrats in congress are pointing fingers at Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell urging him to bring background check legislation already passed by the house to the floor. Listen to what the Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer said earlier today. After saying that the issue of gun safety would be front and center when congress returns, leader mcconnell has given no indication when the senate might have a debate. Instead, he has suggested its up to inconsistent white house to determine what if any legislation reaches the floor. We are not likely to hear anything from the president on this today. Its possible will hear something tomorrow. Will he will likely embraces a range of measures. Something on closing some loopholes in background checks but the president also wants measures to address Mental Health issues to make sure people who are mentally ill do not get their hands on weapons. The red flag protection orders. In the issue of making sure that all of the relevant information possible is in the background check database. The president pointing to the dayton shooter, saying if his juvenile record had carried over and not been expunged when he turned 18, he likely wouldnt of gotten his hands on the gun that he used to kill so many people in dayton.

Hot air balloon crash near las vegas. Some seven people are hurt near good springs which is southwest of las vegas. Local media reports that emergency crews headed to airlift one person to a nearby hospital, three others taken by ground ambulance. The faa says it will investigate. A married couple accused of murder captured in the arizona desert after an intense manhunt. Investigator see these two, blane and Susan Barksdale overpowered security guards who were taking them in a van from a prison in new york to tucson. Agency the suspected killers were hiding out in a home in a remote area 50 miles outside phoenix. Deputies apparently had to tase and shoot plain barksdale Blane Barksdale. The couple is accused of killing a man and burning down his house in tucson. The body still is missing. Investigators say Blane Barksdale was affiliated with the brotherhood, a white supremacist prison gang. Alecia cuneo reporting, shes live in the Rocky Mountain newsroom. David gonzales says it was an intriguing tip that allowed them to the home where they arrested the couple. One person told authorities out of hundreds of calls that they should check out a place 90 minutes northeast of phoenix. Federal agents on local Law Enforcement surrounded the home. This show of force. They were possibly armed with a hundred stolen weapons. In a news conference, they said when confronted, the Property Owner and mrs. Barksdale came out without a problem but mr. Barksdale was not as compliant. Initially responding to commands to keep his hands up and get down but after a couple minutes, he became verbally abusive to the officers, flipping them the bird, not responding to their commands, and then the Deputy Marshal had to use a taser and what we call a beanbag round in the leg to take him down to affect his arrest. Police are still searching for the body of 72yearold frank bligh who they say they barksdales guilt. In addition to murder, they are accused of being involved an explosion and burglary and stealing a vehicle. They are scheduled to make a Court Appearance later today. Shepard we were reporting yesterday about the Police Accusations that they had help from somebody or some people. Do we know anything about that . The u. S. Marshal says they believe three or four people could have been involved and possibly helping them. Thats a part of this ongoing investigation. During the manhunt, federal agents had someone gave these to a truck along the way. Take a listen. There are individuals that assisted the barksdales from hiding from justice and we will transition to working the investigation with the fbi on however many individuals were involved in hiding them out. A reminder from the u. S. Marshal, its a federal felony to hide or assist a fugitive. Shepard they ran a meth lab . Yes, thats what they believe. It was part of a drug operation that they were involved in and the suspect was someone who really matched the background of the barksdales. They knew they were headed to arizona and they knew the type of people they were involved with. When they heard this tip, it made sense and thats when they surrounded the place. Shepard back to prison, new charges. There is more teenagers and young adults are possibly getting sick because of vaping.

Shepard oh officials in more states say they are looking into possible links between lung diseases and vaping. And that the patients are teenagers and young adults. This is happening in washington state, hawaii, and idaho. Federal Health Officials said they are looking into more than 450 cases of possible vaping related sicknesses and death in 36 states so far, half dozen deaths now confirmed in the states marked in red on this ma map. Many involving young people who were otherwise healthy. Yesterday i asked executive director of the weber Technology Association if ecigs are helpful. Heres that exchange. American Cancer Society says ecigarettes fall on the risk spectrum much closer to the patch and the gum and lozenge then they due to toxic cigarettes. Shepard heres what the American Lung association says. Ecigarette are not safe and can cause irreversible lung damage and lung disease. Thats what they say. Thats what the Lung Association says. The Cancer Society said something different. Shepard the feds is that people should stop vaping now while they investigate, and President Trump has announced yesterday a possible ban on the sale of ecigs flavored with anything other than tobacco. The American Vaping Association argues that its products can actually help people quit smoking traditional cigarettes. And that a ban would do more harm than good. Mike tobin reporting live with more. Weve got these cases piling up stretching from hawaii to the u. S. Virgin islands of suspected lung disease caused by vaping and deaths suspected lee linked to vaping. We have a state representative in florida proposing a bill that goes further than what we heard from the president. The bill that was proposed today would ban the sale of ecigarettes and baked products to anyone under the age of 21, also ban the flavors. Critics say the candy flavors make ecigarette attractive to kids and get them hooked on nicotine at an early age. As President Trump proposes efforts to combat it, he finds an unusual ally in democratic illinois senator dick durbin. An important step forward to spare these kids from this addiction. Merely announcing it isnt going to solve all the problems we face because of ecigarettes and vaping. We have to find a way to help these 5 million addicting kids stop their nicotine addictions. The new jersey senator says he is pushing legislation that would ultimately ban vaping products in the next few years. The problem with the flurry of illnesses is that none of the agencies investigating can point to a specific component causing the illnesses. New york Health Officials are investigating a vitamin e component used in some vaped devices on the American Vaping Association wants to dannon on blame it on the manufacturers making blackmarket devices. Shepard mike tobin, thank you. Parents in wisconsin are helping on have helped uncover a blackmarket vaping operation after they turned their son into police. They apparently thought he was telling thc vapor cartridges to high school students. Investigators say after some digging, they arrested two brothers for running what the cops are calling an empire of illegal drugs. Police seized about one and a half Million Dollars worth of drugs inside the home. The stash included, according to police, more than 31,000 vapor cartridges filled with thc. Thats the compound in marijuana gets you high. Police also found almost 100,000 empty cartridges and 57 mason jars like the ones you see here filled with thc oil. Worth we are told roughly 6,000 each. The labels on the cartridges read 5 milligrams of thc. Kenosha county sheriff david beth says the brothers were actually filling them with 1,00. The sheriff is joining us. It sounds like you fell into something a lot bigger than what you are banking on. Yeah, this was hiding underneath our nose on this one in waukesha, the parents thank goodness brought their kid to the Police Station up there and got the ball rolling. We are thankful they did and we were able to uncover this and we have many agencies right now contacting those looking to assist us and see how they can tie these cartridges that are being shipped out to the illnesses and deaths throughout the midwest in the country. Shepard it sounds like a lot of product for two guys. We know theres more involved here, and we are in the process of trying to hunt them down. Its our start. We were amazed they were doing this in an upperclass condo in Kenosha County and they lived with their mom and grandfather a couple miles away. They ran the separation for a little over a year and a half and it kept growing and there was enough, a million and a half in product is amazing to me that it was under our noses the whole time. Shepard its illustrative of the problems of the black market and they were labeled 5 milligrams of thc and instead there was a heck of a lot more than that, according to your reports. Well, thats exactly we sent the mason jars that you saw, we sent them to the lab to get exactly the contents. Our suspects believe its thc oil, its pure. If thats the case, its 150 times more potent than what the label says it is. It is labeled as candy. The average parent that would see this label, this product in their kids bedroom, it almost looks like its a candy product. Sour patch or cherry flavored. It has nothing to do with the fact that its filled with drugs. Shepard sheriff beth, whats the best advice you could give your parents to think my kids are fine. They wouldnt be involved in anything like this. What do you look for . We had a grade school last year that we had anywhere from ten to 13yearold kids that were all starting to take this up and parents were saying its just cherry flavored water. Its not a big deal. Right now, all of this is coming out of its forward and as a parent myself of two high school students, if i ever saw my kids, these packages with them more than friends or vaping at all, i would say dont do this. It is something thats going to hurt you. Just to our south, there is a story of an 18yearold boy who has been vaping for a year and a half and they said his lungs are those of a 70yearold. It is something that its extremely dangerous and extremely scary especially to our youth. Shepard sheriff david beth, kenosha. Good to see you.

Virginias governor fighting back against a report about accusations of Sexual Misconduct against him, demanding a payout of hundreds of millions of dollars. The decision is in. A ruling on whether the term taco tuesday can be trademarked by lebron james. But first. The israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu pushing back on report his country set up spy devices around washington, d. C. , including near the white house. The Prime Ministers office calling the accusation a blatant lie. Politico first report of the news after interviewing former senior u. S. Officials. Those officials had the government believes israel planted cell phone surveillance devices around the Nations Capital and the Trump Administration did nothing about it. So far, no official comment from the white house. Top stories, live from jerusalem. This politico piece claims stingray surveillance equipment was used together intelligence near the white house over the past two years. The way the stingray device works is by mimicking a real cell tower. It tricks phones into relying identification and location information. The Trump Administration reportedly has not taken any action in response to finding the alleged devices, as the Israeli Government is denying the allegations. Israels Foreign Affairs minister pointed out that israel and the United States actually share intelligence and work together. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu today called the report alive but didnt point out any part of the piece that he actually disagreed with. Providing no evidence to support his claim that it was factually incorrect. Shepard you spoke with the journalist on this story, right . I spoke with Daniel Litman about the piece. He says hes standing by his reporting and also added he found one part of the conversations very interesting and surprising saying some former u. S. Officials that he spoke with actually said the reason they felt so suspicious about israeli spying on them is that they had counterparts in israel relying information that took part in private u. S. Diplomatic conversations, certainly a red flag for those former u. S. Diplomats. Shepard live in jerusalem. Virginias Lieutenant Governor is suing cbs for 400 million for what he calls false accusations of Sexual Misconduct. The democrat Justin Fairfax has the company defamed him when it aired interviews with two women who accused him of sexually assaulting them more than a decade ago. Fairfax has cbs hired information indicating one accusation was false but chose to ignore it. He also said the network did not doing a factchecking on the other accusation. A spokesperson for cbs tells fox news that the Company Stands by the reporting and will vigorously defend itself in court. The feds say every single crewmember onboard the dive boat that sank off the coast of Southern California was asleep when the fire broke out and killed 34 people. The National Transportation safety board confirms is a the ship was required to have a roaming watchman awake at night. It comes after coast guard made new recommendations stemming from that fire. They include limits on the charging of lithiumion batteries and the use of power strips and extension cords. The Los Angeles Times reports investigators are looking into that as a potential cause. William la jeunesse reporting. He is alive in california 55 miles northwest of los angeles. Right now the currents are too dangerous so they are hour by hour. Let me bring you up to speed on the investigation you were talking about. Three crewmembers told the ntsb that they didnt believe there was any existing electrical or mechanical issues but by the time they woke up after sleeping, the fire was fully engaged in the galley, the second deck. They couldnt get in the door or window. The smoke was too bad and they jumped overboard. They indicated they sound no fire in the engine room, although crew heard a smoke alarm, they said to existed in the bunk room where passengers slept. Its not just about can you see your way out . Can you get up the ladder, over the bunk, find the emergency escape hatch and get up it. Its difficult to maneuver. The ntsb said today they would examine an older boat the smoke alarms as well as the exit routes because we knows kind of compromised. We got a statement from the attorney representing the owner of the boat and he said their family is reeling from this tragedy and support the investigation and wonder why transportation authorities, if they knew there were problems with lithiumion batteries on planes, why they did not apply to charter boats. Shepard any progress on getting the boat out of the water . The currents are really strong and they dont want to risk it coming apart as they bring it up so they have a barge out there. I am the closest to santa cruz island. They are planning to put it on the bard, bulletin by tugboat and then they will examine it for evidence, basically the fire. We are told it is one piece of the puzzle. You have the testimony of the crew, the owners records and logs, interviews with exemployees and then you have the physical evidence with which is the boat. The team has a number of experts. They will take it to an offsite location, secure it and enabled the investigators to start reconstructing what went on with the fire. The National Response team will look at the cost and the origin of the fire and as you mentioned, the coast guard has already told all existing boats, commercial boats nationwide to look at the power strips because these older boats are not meant sl bringing on board. Shepard william la jeunesse, live for us. Fox urgent, waiting for a verdict in the case of a former High School Cheerleader accused of killing her newborn baby. And burying the baby in the backyard. Brooke richardson faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted. Her face is in the hands of a jury in lebanon, ohio, north and east of cincinnati. Richardsons lawyers there argued the child was stillborn. They say investigators pressured the teenager into a false confession but prosecutors say the baby didnt belong and what they describe as richardsons perfect life. They said she did an internet search for how to get rid of a baby and they say on the day she buried the child, she texted her mother and boyfriend about how happy she was that my belly is back. Defense attorneys say richardsons life was not perfect at all. Yesterday in court a psychologist testified that richardson said she was sexually abused as a child, battled an eating disorder, and had a personality disorder that made it hard for her to stand up for herself. Defense attorney, former prosecutor. There is more to this than i just laid out and that is in one particular area there is a distinct lack of there there. Ive never had a case where i cannot prove the cause of death. The prosecutors admit we cant prove the cause of death. Its essential because youre saying somebody purposely killed a living bd. The biggest piece of evidence the prosecution has is the statement she gave. Ive been covering this case and watched every piece of it and the statements are all over the place and clearly they are using an investigative questioning technique called the reid technique where they are feeding her false data and accusatory, she is sitting there almost like a 12yearold kid saying maybe i heard some gurgling. I dont know. But when the baby was born, she was clear in the beginning the baby was born stillborn. Didnt have a heart beat and didnt have any breath. The question becomes if the baby is stillborn, then its not guilty. If the jury cant come to the conclusion that even if it was born alive but died because of medical reasons, it still could be not guilty. Prosecutors are going on a wildly circumstantial case. Shepard i just got word as you began to speak that there is now a verdict. Reporters are in the courtroom. The verdict has not been announced but there is a verdict and well have it in just a moment. We will have it when they release it. That said, whats the wisdom and i have no idea here. I am asking. What is the wisdom of filing purposeful murder charges when you cant prove the cause of death . Is that unusual to charge and that way . Not necessarily. Say that you cant prove cause or manner of death, someone gives a confession. Anderson a small piece of evidence that supports it. Thats not how the statement went. It was up and down and clear she was tormented. She was holding the detectives hand and crying and asking for her mother. Gave multiple versions and in crossexamination by the officers, the officer said she gave so many different stories we dont know which one to rely on. Prosecutors dont want to have witnesses on the stand saying we dont know what version of the defense statement we can or cannot rely upon. All of us that have been fascinated by this case personally i think its one of the more fascinating homicide cases ive dealt with in a long time in terms of covering it. Wondering or whether not the jury is going to say we think something went on here. Maybe not proof beyond reasonable doubt for purposeful murder, which means she intended to kill that baby. But may be plead or find her guilty of a lesser charge. Shepard they did allow lesser included. Involuntary manslaughter and just before the verdict came out, the jury asked the judge for a definition on one of the other charges which is abuse of a corpse. They wanted a morse implicit definition and the judge set im going to give you the definition that the law gives. The question becomes may be they are convinced she desecrated the corpse which is maybe obvious in this case but not convinced beyond reasonable doubt. Theyve only been deliberating a couple hours may have verdict already. Shepard we are told the verdict is in. Sometimes theres a delay. The way it works in court as they bring the interested parties together, the defense, prosecution, the person whos been charged and other parties, they get them in the courtroom and normally they read it out. We should know in just a few minutes. We expect to know before the end of the hour. Will you hang around . Absolutely. Shepard thank you.

If you follow him on social, you have likely seen his posts posting about his love for the food. He loves tacos. According to the report, the Patent Office deemed the phrase a commonplace term which mightve been the idea. Apparently thats what the superstar wanted all along. A spokesman for the lakers told espn he filed the trademark to protect himself against being sued for saying taco tuesday. Meantime, trademark lawyers says the Ohio State University lost its fight to trademark the word. It is only that school might attempt. I am just saying. I mean, you either love them or you dont.

Whether you decide to speak to anybody as a matter of your own free choice. With the defendant please rise . With regard to count 1, we, the jury, in the above case find the defendant brooke skyler richardson not guilty of the offense of aggravated murder. There appear to be 12 jury signatures. Verdict form 2, we, the jury, hereby find the defendant brooke skyler richardson not guilty of the offense of involuntary manslaughter. Count 3, child endangerment. We, the jury, find the defendant brooke skyler richardson not guilty of child endangerment. It does say we further find the defendant did not cause serious physical harm to the alleged victim but that finding is not necessary as a matter of law. Verdict 4, we, the jury, in the above case find the defendant brooke skyler richardson guilty of the offense of abuse of a corpse. Ladies and gentlemen, are those the vertex of the jury . You may be seated. You are now discharged from your services. Shepard there you go. Again, we laid out the case a few minutes ago and bob bianchi who has followed it closely, predict this was how it would go down. He looked at her quivering, knowing the background you gave us and that we read here, theres no happy ending here. There isnt but based on the evidence in the case, this is the right verdict. They dont know the cause of death, the statement. Look at her on tv. This is the way she was giving her interview. Av the statement is right. It wasnt enough to prove to 12 people beyond a reasonable doubt and may i add the defense team did an amazing job of putting expert witnesses, one of whom is the forensic pathologist in mississippi who works 99 for prosecutors. You could not make a determination on a case like this. For confession, experts talk about the reid technique. As far as the corpse was concerned, it was always my opinion after especially foreign half hours, it you are right on the money when you said its too quick for a guilty with the problems of the government has. With respect to the corpse, she buried the corpse in a shallow grave and left it there. That seems to me to be inappropriate guilty verdict. Shepard one of the arguments was looked, she was 1. She was 18 years old, had a lot of issues in life. All of a sudden shes got a baby here. She had a severe eating disorder, and her claim was that the baby was stillborn and the here. I think they looked at everything that went on with regard to the facts of the case argument was she panicked. And again, great job the defense she had a being that was not did of crossexamining the living and she buried it. States witnesses whom in my and she wished she hadnt. Thereg opinion fell apart. They jump to conclusions too quickly. When have you heard detective say she gave many different versions of events. We dont know which one to believe that we will believe this piece another rest. She had said from the beginning the baby was born stillborn in the medical evidence that the defense put on seemed to suggest based upon her eating disorder and the other conditions that this was a very real possibility. When you have to prove beyond reasonable doubt, its not a guess. Its not about a hunch. You need to prove the baby was born and then you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she purposefully killed the bab baby. The evidence wasnt there. Shepard careful to point out as you mentioned and as weve talked before, its not to say anybody involved in the process did anything wrong. The police went out and gathered what they could. Investigators did the same and forensic teams do the same and prosecutors came together and tried to make a decision about what would be serving justice and then two sides were presented in the jury of her peers made the decision and now its delivered. Nofault to the detectives. Shepard explained that, is basically peppering. Its not giving them an opportunity to answer. Telling them things like when they went back in the other interview, we have our scientist looking at this, medical examiner, people, we know that what youre telling us isnt true and they start, why didnt you tell us the truth. Tell us the truth and its going to be good for you and eventually if a person can be broken down i want to get out of here or i tell them what they want to hear, its going to go good for me. She says i am confused, youre mixing me up. You dont want target saying there being mixed up. It was in a sophisticated person, it wasnt organized crime. It was an unsophisticated young 18, going on 12yearold girl. You could see it in the interviews. She was a broken human being and i think it really fed into the defenses argument, what youre saying that she wound up in a situation and she was very mature and she did know how to deal with it. This is the manner in which they went about it. Shepard the technique is one that would potentially play itself after a bar fight. Two cops they are. Each are questioning someone, one a single case going to be fine. The other is going we know you hit him first. We are positive you hit him first. If you confess the truth right now, we will take you in. You didnt hit him first but applying the pressure, whether you know it or not, its legal to tell that fed. The Supreme Court has ruled the interesting thing is there been instances where we are talking about full confessions and ive seen it in my career even as a prosecutor, its almost unfathomable, the central park jogger case, you can imagine people and falsely confess to a horrific crime they didnt commit but there are people whose will can be over born where they sat had clients, defense lawyers, if theres thing i did it and they have evidence, i mustve done it. Its a strange phenomenon but its lead to a lot of false confession cases. In this case relying solely on false confessions. If they had forensic evidence in support of the confession, that wouldve been a different story. Shepard sentencing guidelines, six to 12 months for the crime for which she was found guilty. Sentencing would be later. We dont know specifically on that jurisdiction whether the judge can go outside but its likely its a possibility. Will followup. Bob bianchi, thank you. Appreciate it. Not guilty, aggravated murder. Involuntary manslaughter, not guilty. Child endangerment. Thats the end of that. The dow final bell is ringing. We are up. Mighty close to an alltime high. Less than 200 points away nef tonights big president ial debate, all eyes on what Elizabeth Warren, you know shes been surging in the polls and vk step with her plans for surgingn the rich today. We connect. Lets just see if you have some bucks, you might want to come out of the woodwork. Welcome, everyone, i am neil. And kingfisher tells me, you know what, im not worried. Other wall street types are and they are making it clear. They are worried that senator Elizabeth Warren could become president Elizabeth Warren and tax them out of the country. Dramatic, may become a real
