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 i m 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. they ve only been deliberating a couple hours may have verdict already. shepard: we are told the verdict is in. sometimes there s a delay. the way it works in court as they bring the interested parties together, the defense, prosecution, the person who s 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. major retail stores closing down b
saying forever 21 is looking to file for bankruptcy this weekend. they possibly could be closing 700 locations. i reached out to the company hoping to get a response but they told usa today that s not true and they are not filing for bankruptcy but it s true they are suffering from high levels of debt. what could that mean for a lot of malls? shepard: excuse me, there s breaking news in the verdict is being read in the case against the teenage girl accused of killing her child purposefully. listen. communication or influence during the deliberation process? please hand the verdict forms in advance of the reading of the verdict. i want to thank you for each of you for your service. after this, you will be discharged from your service and you will be returned to the jury room, reunited with your electronic devices. i have a couple minutes that i would like to talk you and then we will get you on your way. you will be able to speak with anybody about the case that you would like. yo
i think it really fed into the defense s argument, what you re 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 didn t hit him first but applying the pressure, whether you know it or not, it s 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 i ve seen it in my career even as a prosecutor, it s almost unfathomable, the central park jogger case, you can imagine people and falsely confess to a horrific crime they didn t commit but there are people whose will can be over born where th
he is bulldozing his way running for a 78-yard touchdown, plowing through ten tackles and even taking a few defenders with him. the improbable touchdown helped the golden eagles won 15-0, and that s all the sports you re going to get today for me. thanks for joining us. shepard: it is noon on the west coast, 3:00 in the east where one state could become the first to ban all e-cigarettes. that is another state deals with a major black-market bust. tens of thousands of 8 pods stopped before they hit the street, and cops say the takedown began when parents rented out their teenage son. also the jury now has a case of a former cheerleader accused of killing her newborn baby. she says she didn t do it, and the defense claims she s a victim too. first, democratic lawmakers taking their most significant step yet toward the possible
that way? not necessarily. say that you can t prove cause or manner of death, someone gives a confession. anderson a small piece of evidence that supports it. that s not how the statement went. it was up and down and clear she was tormented. she was holding the detective s hand and crying and asking for her mother. gave multiple versions and in cross-examination by the officers, the officer said she gave so many different stories we don t know which one to rely on. prosecutors don t want to have witnesses on the stand saying we don t 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 it s one of the more fascinating homicide cases i ve 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 f
