Blake, thanks. This morning the jury in bill cosby Sexual Assault case is entering a 6th day of deliberations struggling to break a deadlock. Will the case end in a mistrial . Ron is in norristown, pennsylvania with more. Good morning. Good morning, its been a very dramatic and intense standoff. The jury deliberating some 50 hours and thats longer than the entire trial and long after the jury said it was deadlocked some two days ago returning to the courtroom more than a dozen times to ask questions of the judge or ask testimony to be read back. A majority of the jurors is pushing for a conviction while a smaller group, a minority holds out. Perhaps sensing that cosbys jurors asked time and time again that the judge declare a mistrial but the judge is pushing back saying the jurors can deliberate as long as they want according to the law. If there is a mistrial theyll have to decide whether to start the case all over again. He left thanking his supporters and the jurors for their hard work. He stands accused of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. A former Temple University employee. If he is convicted he faces up to ten years in prison. Dozens of women have come forward to accuse cosby of Sexual Misconduct but this is the only time that he can Face Criminal Charges and when the jury reconvenes this morning we can have a verdict at any moment or the deliberations could continue all day and into the night. Yet again. Ron allen, thank you. Katie is a former prosecutor and now a legal analyst. Good morning to you. Good morning. Lets take this a step at a time here. These deliberations have lasted considerably longer than the trial itself. The judge has already the jury has already told the judge they deadlocked once. Do we see a mistrial here . I dont think so. I think youre going to get a verdict today and the reason why i say that is 52 plus hours of deliberations, those jurors want a result but what is interest as good the continuous read back of the testimony not only from the trial but from prior deposition testimony given by cosby. You have to be able to read tea leaves to see how its going to go. Whoever is holding out is standing their ground and theyre not backing off what their convictions are in this case. Based on some of the questions that these jurors have asked the judge and theres been a slew of questions. Yesterday they asked about the definition of reasonable doubt. They have reviewed every key piece of evidence presented during the trial. Based on that information alone, what do you surmise is happening inside of the jury room . Whats happening is i think the jurors expected to hear from bill cosby. I think they wanted to hear from bill cosby. It was a defense decision not to have him testify because his exposure on crossexamination would have been profound considering his previous sworn testimony. Youre not going to hear another allen charge from this judge. Thats also called a dynamite charge. You want to blow up whatever that road block is to getting to a verdict. No matter what happens today f. The jury comes back and says theyre continuously deadlocked youll not hear the judge go back for more deliberations. I think its done today no matter what. How far is too far for the judge to push the jury to reach a verdict. You could do a second allen charge. Sometimes even a third but the risk is you start to look coercive when you are the judge demanding that the jury go back and reach a decision. 52 plus hours of deliberations youre not going to hear another allen charge today. Theyre going to come to a decision today. Good discussion. Well check back in with you in our next half hour on another high profile case. Lets get a check on the other headlines this morning. Cape cod, a major rescue operation. 57 passengers and crew pulled from a ferry boat taking on water. The boat ran in late last night near massachusetts.

This morning a massachusetts teenager is facing up to 20 years behind bars after being convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter in a very high profile criminal case. She was on trial for urging her boyfriend over the phone to kill himself. Morgan has more on that. Good morning. Good morning. This is a tragic tail of depression and teen suicide. After six days of he said she said testimony a judge made a controversial ruling that one person can be held legally responsible for the suicide of another. Reporter a bombshell verdict. Now find you guilty. Reporter Michelle Carter wiping away tears after a judge convicted her of Involuntary Manslaughter saying she encouraged her 18yearold boyfriend conrad roy to drive to this kmart parking lot outside of boston and suffocate himself with Carbon Monoxide leaving his family shattered. This has been a very tough time for our family and we would like to just process this verdict. Reporter the familys lawyers argue that roy could have been saved. But not for the actions of Michelle Carter conrad roy would still be alive. Reporter she waved her right to the jury sending the decision to the judge. At the heart of his verdict was the moment when roy expressed doubts. Im freaking out again. Im overthinking. Carter responded i thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and youre ready. You just need to do it. When he got scared and left the car carter texted the friend. I told him to get back in. I couldnt have him live that way. This court finds that instructing mr. Roy to get back in the truck constituted wanted and reckless conduct by ms. Carter. Her defense team stunned. Beyond saying im disappointed im not going to comment further. Reporter they argue that roy was determined to kill himself with or without carters help citing a 2012 Suicide Attempt and chilling videos he left about his own depression. You dont have to be happy. Reporter carter now faces up to 20 years behind bars. The verdict sending a strong message about the power of words. One of the concerns that some people might have is the slippery slope concern. Michelle carter, horrible actions. What about the next case. Will it be so horrible . Or will prosecutors also be emotio emboldened to file manslaughter charges. Even though the incident happened when she was 17 years old. She is not allowed to leave the state of massachusetts or have any contact with the roys. That family made a final employplea to anyone struggling with depression asking them to get help before its too late. Lets bring back in katie. Good to have you again. Thank you for being back. So this verdict surprises a lot of folks because suicide is generally thought of as an act thats done with ones own free will under ones own free will. What does this case mean moving forward with regards to precedent. Its a huge precedent setting case craig because right now the judge has determined by way of his verdict of guilty for Involuntary Manslaughter for Michelle Carter that words are now weapons. Just like bullets in a gun. If you use the right words and you are actually using those words, a prosecutor uses those words against a defendant you can be convicted. Now guys we heard from morgan, two critical determinations made by the judge to support his finding of guilty. One, she ordered to him to get back into the car when he texted her and said i cant go through with it. She texted him and said go back and do it. Two, she could have called 911, she could have called for help and she never did and thats what the judge said was wanton and reckless conduct. But as deplorable and disgusting as it might be, how does encouraging someone to commit suicide not fall under free speech. At this point legally all the elements of Involuntary Manslaughter were met by the prosecution meaning that if you know theres a substantial likelihood of harm to a victim and you do stuff by way of reckless conduct as evidenced by what she did then you can be found guilty of that crime. So looking forward she is looking at 20 years in prison. What do you expect her sentence to be . Her range could be anywhere from probation to 20 years. I expect a sentencing on august 3rd of some type of jail time followed by lengthy probation but i also expect a serious appeal that could go as far up as the Supreme Court because this is a new construction of the law of Involuntary Manslaughter in the state of massachusetts. That would be the sole basis for the appeal. Its so new and so Ground Breaking it has to be construed by a higher court to determine if everything was done properly by the trial judge. All right. Thanks so much. Thanks guys. Dylan is back with another check of the weather. What are we looking at here this weekend. Dangerous heat in the southwest. Were looking at perhaps record breaking high temperatures. We have excessive heat warnings all through the southwest including most of california down through arizona and even over into texas and oklahoma sbup the midwest we have heat advisories so 5 Million People will see some extreme heat.

This morning on rossen reports update a safety alert before you head into the water this weekend. Shark attacks are on the rise this year with people spotting them even in waist deep water. What are you supposed to do if a shark is approaching . Today jeff rossen with some life saving tips. Hey guys, good morning. Already this year theres been a Record Number of shark sightings with temperatures on the rise and so many of us taking our kids out to the beach, we all need to be ware but turns out theres things you can do to protect yourself before and even during a shark attack. From how you pack for the beach to the one color experts say you shouldnt wear. Yes theres a color. This morning im going in to show you what to do if you come face to face with a shark. The latest attack making headlines just this week. A giant shark targeting this mother of three as she snorkeled in the bahamas. It honestly felt like i had bumped into something. It just turned casually to see what i bumped into and when i turned i was face to face with a shark. The shark bit her and took off her right arm. Its just a limb, i mean, im here. My kids have me as a mother and i have my family and im alive. Its happening more often than you think. Worldwide. 40 unprovoked shark attacks reported so far this year. 4 of them fatal. And the sharks are out in force. Heres the finn in the water. Do you see the finn in the water right there. Theres the shark right there. We already spotted several off the coast of long beach, california just weeks ago. Its right there. The shark is right there. This is where we swim. This is where our kids swim. This is about as far out as i would come with my kids. Were very close to the shoreline. Its scary. How can you protect yourself if you come face to face with a shark. Theres things you can do before you even get in the water right . Yes. Were on the beach with steve kessel a shark scientist. First thing is avoid wearing lots of shiny jewelry. The sun reflected off the jewelry could make the shark mistake it for the scales of fish. Theres a color you shouldnt wear in the water. Theres a theory that sharks are attracted to dark colors so dark plain swim wear is favorable. Avoid swimming at night and particularly at dusk and dawn as this is the time that sharks are most active and most likely to be feeding. If im in the water and i see a shark i know myself i would do one of two things i would be paralyzed by fear or be frantic. The worst thing you can do is start frantically swimming. If you run away from a dog its going to chase after you and bite you where as if you face the dog it will keep its distance. Face the shark. Keep it in eyesight and back up as calmly as you can to shore. What if the shark gets aggressive or even bites you. I heard youre supposed to punch it in the nose. You want to attack the shark but attack the eyes and the gills theyre more sensitive than the nose and youre more likely to ward it off. So get the eyes and the gills. Yes. Heres another interesting fact about sharks, experts say their metabolism speeds up in the summer. That means theyre more hungry. Why wouldnt they be . And with more of us in the water you have seen what can happen. Not great timing for their metabolism to be speeding up while were at the beach in the water. Thats interesting. Face the shark and back up slowly. Thats the expert advice. Unless youre trained you would never think if a shark is coming toward you that youre going to stay this way and back away slowly. Dylan, would you . No, i mean, who does that. You have a jaw dropping shark story coming up too. Ironic this is the story were going to be talking about in a second.

Swimming legend Michael Phelps will take part this year and your jaws will drop when you find out how. This is wild but when youre the worlds most decorated athlete competing against mere humans can get boring after awhile. At least that seems to be the case for Michael Phelps thats making a splash during this years shark week. He will be the firstperson to race against one of these guys a great white shark. The event is titled phelps versus shark. Great gold versus great white. The logistics are still unclear. Theres hope i would say that theres more than a lane marker separating these guys. Phelps is already getting to know his competition. He posted this i was able to do something i had always wanted to do, be in a cage and dive with great white sharks. Seems like he is living the classic retired life style but still dont know how this whole race is going to pan out. I respect Michael Phelps.

Now this is not his tax return. Hes still refusing to release any of those but there is some new information about his wealth. Kelly thank you. The shooting of congressman scalise provoked a protest.

I was a salutitorian. Look at you now. The tradition itself maybe a thing of fasz. Ranking students based on grade point averages has been failing for the past decade. The National Association of secondary School Principals reported half of all high schools no longer report class rank. In some cases schools recognize a large number of students like one school in tennessee that had 48 valedictorians this year. Thats like a participation trophy. Whats behind the change . Schools want every student to feel special and they should all be held to the same high expectations. They also believe rankings can create unhealthy Competition Among students. Competition is healthy. I disagree 100 million percent. A lot of these students that are valedictorians. Victoria. You just name checked the value kick to value ki val valedictorians. Victoria worked her hiney off. Whats wrong with everybody else trying a little harder. We should keep it. I will say one thing in terms of using it to factor into college acceptance. Right. I remember when i got to northwestern on a 3. 96 gpa. Its the second time we heard her high school gpa. Then i got to northwestern the girl in my suit was like i had a 4 history to hit 25 and theyre like i had a 4. 1. How do you go above the 4. They do. A different scale. Im not bitter at all. What did you get in college. Dont know. Okay. Lets move on to pop start. First up has she or hasnt she had them . Thats the question.

We travelled to hawaii to meet one of the youngest recipients ever. Quick feet, good hands, great workout. He wants to be that best on the field. He pushes every single day. All traits that show star making maturity in an 11yearold athlete and its that eye catching ability thats landed him a full Division One College offer to the university of hawaii after just finishing the fifth grade. He is tweeting his gratitude to hawaiis head coach. I think its overwhelming but at the same time its pretty exciting just to get a college when im just 11. He may be one of the youngest players to ever receive a Football College offer to a big Time University but the move is part of a larger trend. Florida atlantic head coach recently made similar offers to 6th and 7th grader which leaves critics asking how young is too young for College Teams to come knocking. Hes easily the best player on the field. The issue is that hes the best 5th grader on the field and we have no idea what hes going to grow into it. And that its too much for athletes this young. When hes focussing on football that can take away from the opportunity to experience life as a child. His dad and head coach calls it a once in a lifetime opportunity. Were all crabs in a bucket, man. Were all trying to get that one, 250, 350,000 scholarship. You know . And when its offered to you, you take it. He says no matter what happens in the next 7 years before hes able to play college football, his son will take it in stride. We all know an offer is an offer. It can be pulled today. It can be pulled tomorrow. A lot of things can change, you know . But we take the opportunity as it comes. Do you ever get tired of football. No. Never . You never get tired of football. A College Level offer in the hands of aal lenlted grade schooler ready for the next play. For today, steve patterson, nbc news, hawaii.

The university of hawaii would not confirm the offer but the family insists its real. Does that put a lot of pressure on a kid. Absolutely. Absolutely it does. In fact i would argue it puts too much pressure on a kid. From here on out he is constantly reminded. Or he feels like he is. You never want to stub your toe or twist an ankle. But its almost like we think youre talented were over here remember us. And keep working at it. For me as long as the kid still has joy about it when their face is still bright and kpietd.
