the mom and dad are on one side of the screen and you can see casey on the other. if they do ask for those we ll also all be brought into open court where they will then play the video clips. that, what you see there is the actual axillary room which will be the post verdict news conference room for the jurors. you see the 12 seats. they are numbered one, two, three up to 12 for the jurors. all jurors who are willing to participate in that post verdict news conference will do so after this verdict is read. martha: and nobody knows what the verdict may h-b, and they are deliberating at this moment. they ve got a very serious decision before them in this death penalty, potentially this case, phil, thank you. obviously we ll get back to phil as soon as we get that word that that 30-minute warning has come down that they indeed have reached a decision. one question right now is where is casey anthony while all of this goes on? as the jury is deliberating she is being held in the courthouse
thought the prosecutor did a great job wrapping up the definition of it yesterday, which is, and this is if you think she wanted to give her a little chloroform to put her to sleep so she could go out partying and she died. that s felony murder. we ll find out in a few minutes. martha: quite a moment that we are about to witness here for casey anthony. you know that is the question, why has this case garnered so much attention of the nation? we all remember those 31 days when casey anthony for some reason could not find her child, and then the day that the body was found not far at all from the anthony home. geraldo rivera has been covering this from the gentlemen beginning. he joins me now from outside that courthouse in florida. geraldo your thoughts on the fact that this jury without asking for a single reread of any of the testimony, or a single question of this judge has now reached their verdict. reporter: well, martha i think let me tell you what jose baez thinks because i
watchful eye of a female sheriff s deputy. she will be there, the defense attorneys will be there. the prosecution, all the media. they will hand their checklist on how they find the defendant on all seven counts to the clerk of courts, and the clerk will read it allowed. it will be a 30 of my minute process. if the jury comes upon a need to ask a question to the court they will pass a neat to the deputy outside the deliberation room and the media will get a 20 of my minute notice for that and everybody assembles in the courtroom and the judge reads their questio question aloud. the jury has all the evidence in the deliberations room. the only thing we know for certain they have not asked to look at or seen is any of the audio or video recordings that were submitted as evidence during this trial. that could have been the telephone call that casey anthony made to her parents at their house, it could have been visitations in the jail where
it s so true, and again, you wonder how that s playing in the jury s mind. regardless of how you feel about cindy and george, whether they told the truth, what s going on, they were doting grand parents. this man, by all accounts, wanted to kill himself over his granddaughter. casey could have left a note saying, i m gon see ya. martha: it appears that way. you think of the video of cindy anthony helping the little girl into the pool, and i thought to myself okay, here we go, folks. let s listen in. you let the record reflect that the defendant is present along with counsel for the defendant. both sides ready to proceed? it s been brought to my attention that the jury has reached a verdict. state? the state s ready to proceed, your honor. defense? defense is ready. to those in the gallery, please, do not express any signs of approval or disapproval upon the reading of the verdict.
i covered lisa steinberg, the joel steinberg murder trial. i covered others where children have been tortured over months, sexually abused over months, chained to cold water bathtubs, burned with significance ritz. aggravated child abuse, you know it when you see it and i think that has certainly not been established by the state in this case. however, the quick return of this jury, i have to come back to that, is clear to me that they did not want to consider how many moggots they were, the dna or absence there of, the fingerprints, was the heart-shaped sticker 30 feet away from the tiny tragic remains of this child, all those things. it just really seems that they went through it a through z, one swipe. they had already appointed their foreman, now they are ready to go home. i think the results will be for casey anthony the worse possible
