Weight will come forward, we need a psychological evaluation immediately. he may not be competent for trial. he is not speaking to anyone. his lawyer is going forward. tomorrow will be the first day in court. he definitely won t. the defense is going to ask the government to pay for a defense psychiatric evaluation and a lot is going on before anybody enters a plea. what about doing a deal? death penalty, these are crimes that are death penalty eligible. would prosecutors ever do a deal to avoid a trial? that will be difficult. we talked a little bit about it. it qualified in a number of ways under the death penalty statute. you have arguably an enormous amount of premeditation but not just a cover-up but the
how does this end? reporter: it probably ends with rush limbaugh having his reputation a little battered but still on the air, and the democrats being handed pretty much of a presence here in which they can tie these remarks to radio talk show hosts to the republicans who are going to be running this forum. thank you. now this. welcome back, i m brooke baldwin. top of the hour. it is super tuesday, after all. republicans voting in ten states today. primary caucuses. we ve got you covered. time to play reporter roulette political style. in ohio, big, big state for mitt romney and rick santorum. dana bash is there for us. dana, the race is down to the wire. down to the wire, and right now it is a dead heat in this very important state of ohio between mitt romney and santorum. they are tied for 32%, according to our latest poll. this state is not just important in terms of the primary because it has very delegate rich, 63 delegates at stake, it is also symbolically imp
And now i don t think she ll get the charge of perjury. gregg: this was important, the issue of chloroform, goes to the issue of first degree murder, death penalty eligible, you ve got to perfect planning and premeditation and the searching in advance of her daughter s death, chloroform. yes, and also the testimony that they found chloroform. the only person who finds chloroform is dr. vass with his novel, unconfirmed sniffer machine he s trying to sell and which he uses divining rod to find bodies, too. and other people who examined the same specimen didn t find any increase in the background chloroform, didn t find any of the decomposition chemicals. so, i think, i think that that s an issue as to whether there s any chloroform to fin with. as a conviction this is a fatal flaw in the defense case. i was expecting before

From wrong test. i don t think he has the ability in this situation. and he s going to use it and mitigating factors saying look. he s got mental instability. should he be found guilty? shannon: do you think he will be facing the death penalty? do you think that is where prosecutors will go? if you look from a legal standpoint there is a federal area for trial and a state area for trial. and now, in other words he can be like tim think mcveigh charged in federal and state system. both contexts he s eligible to be charged with death penalty. i do think there is a strong probability and the defense attorneys are going to try to avoid the death penalty. we re going to use mitigating. you have aggravating and mitigating circumstances that you bring in and one of the things aggravating is that makes death penalty eligible
