in the jury. it seems like they were a very unified bunch. so perhaps it's not surprising that it took them less than two days to come to agreement on this very, very complicated case. >> stand by, casey. let's try ted again. i imagine many, many people are on their cell phones so it may be tough to get a signal oust the courthouse. ted, let's try this again. if you can, just reset the scene for me in that hallway inside that courthouse. >> reporter: well, we have heavy security here. the sheriff's department is here he in force. we just saw a member of the prosecution team, actually the lead detective in the case, he's made his way to the ninth floor here and everybody is lining p up and following the orders of the bailiff. basically, with any jury decision, you know, incredible anticipation no matter where you are in terms of the stakeholders. i just talked to one of the defense attorneys, he is obviously not allowed to talk but he raised his hands up as if to say, this is it, this is all the wo

seal until the jury is seated. we will not see the jury today. what will we see? we will see michael jackson family. we will see the lawyers on both sides and the doctor at the defense table and the judge and we will hear i believe the court reporter, the court clerk read the verdict and it will be very, very quick. >>arthur: usually we have a little checklist with all the charges but there is only one charge and the reason there is only one charge no one is alleging any intentional act, of physical injury against him, to cause serious physical energy. this is a pure, like you just messed up your job, like you just got up and left and had a cup of coffee. that is the degree of negligence they allege this doctor participated in or, whatever, that is what happened, and that is what i think the jury will find. doctor you should not have given it to him. >>shepard: i believe he had three girls, but dr. conrad murray called one of the girlfriends and said she testified, you may remember her, his girlfriend, and she is i

paul wagner was in the courtroom all day live in rockville with more. >> the jury went into the jury room at 5:50, just a few minutes ago. let me give you highlights, mary beth ayers, second chair for the state gave the rebuttal close in this case and questioned the jury. said was this a woman out of control? meaning brittany norwood. she said no, she's coming up with a story immediately. ladies and gentlemen, use the evidence of all the manipulation. the key thing to remember here is the defense has already admitted that brittany norwood killed jayna murray. the only thing really here for the jury to decide, is this second degree murder or first degree premeditated murder? let me show you sketches from earlier in the day. this was the closing argument from state's attorney john mccarthy who said that jayna murray was lured back to the store by brittany norwood. this killing began, he said almost instantaneously. the only reason to bring her back to the store was to kill her. he then called brittany norwood an actress and manipulator, reminding the jury that brittany norwood was aski

jury and the other from the judge. >> the jury sentenced him to life in cent -- in prison with possibility of parole. that was for his first-degree murder conviction. >> we had a fair trial. i am happy we have the opportunity. i accept what they say. >> absolute relief. these cases are very stressful and so much on the line. it is difficult to think any jury should be in the position of having to decide whether someone lives or dies. >> the judge gave bishop another life sentence for conspiracy to commit murder, plus 20 more years for a hand gun offense. all of the sentences to run consecutively. >> our understanding is that would make him eligible for parole in about 50 years. >> it has been very difficult. that is really all i have a. we appreciate all of the support of gone and the job that has been done. >> in a videotaped confession, he admitted to shooting him three times in the head. he claimed the victims wipe supplied the handgun, pressured him into committing the crime and promise to pay him $9,000. the bishop told detectives he believed she was being abused by her husband. the d

make up the jury. so, now to trace live in los angeles. trace, what do we know? >>trace: she have been described as very diverse cross section of los angeles, everyone from a college professor to an actor to a woman who was shot and wounded in a drive-by shooting. take a look: seven men, five women between the ages of 32 and 57. six are white. five hispanic. one is african-american. and nine of the jury experience. one woman a native of spain served on five juries all of which reached a verdict. now, by all accounts the group is very focused, very attendive, and some say they pay extra special attention, and one time when a scientist was on the courthouse floor doing some experiments the jury was on top of the jury box so they could get a better view of this thing. >>shepard: did they ask, trace, how many of them say they are michael jackson fans? >>trace: all of the information is coming to us because the associated press got hold of the lengthy jury forms and that is a dead split. six are michael jac

the the jury deliberated over two days. they began on friday, deliberated for about seven or eight hours on friday. and then there was another hour or so this morning. and that's when they gave that three-buzz signal. the court had set up a signal for them to give the court when they had finally reached a verdict. so just before 11:00 here, they gave those three buzzes and now we've just been waiting to hear what that verdict is, again, just moments away here, dylan. >> and if you were to look in the context of the carnival that can occur outside of a los angeles courtroom, almost uniquely in american culture, is a courtroom in los angeles quickly turn into a carnival of sorts. o.j. simpson's verdict, perhaps, being the most obvious of that cultural phenomenon, just as we pay attention, obviously, to the gravitas of the situation of the death of michael jackson, and for that matter, the existence of all sorts of pharmaceuticals inside of our culture, on many levels. give us a sense of how los angeles is this afternoon outsi

i am addressing the grand jury report, which i applaud the grand jury on giving the report, on item 29. the mta said they had no plan to implement the recommendations of the grand jury, which was they are going to reject the high priority we have placed on improved surface and bus operations. the mta refers to a transit- effective plan study of 2008. they completely ignored that plan. they also referred -- the m.t.a. refers to a chinatown area transportation study of 1996. once again, the mta completely ignores these reports. mta did not report the day the mti reported in 2002, which was brought up by many of their experts, the fact that they included stockton street traffic signals, transit stop for spacing and relocation be completed in three years. it would have cost $9.1 million. they ignored that. instead, we are looking at $1.62 billion expense. i think the mta has not played with a full deck all along. when it comes to the subway, the subway itself will take longer travel time than the surface by an average of seven minutes, no matter which plan you look at. given this controver

all were emotional when the jury reached this decision. the verdict to convict her of broughtgree murder emotion, hugs, and relief to the family of jayna murray. >> hearing that we got a first- it wasmurder verdict, very pleasing. >> the last seven months has been stressful. last two weeks has brought focus in a tighter. numbness but gratefulness to the jury. >> that is coupled with sorrow david called the normal. >> the new normal will come in time. to an individual family member for that newoking normal. are also trying to some normalcy. the crime that happening inside captivated this community. richard dudleye felt the need to be in the courtroom. >> they did a wonderful job convincing the jury. >> the community will try to move forward, residents say murray will never be forgotten. >> i am happy it was over foundy and she was guilty. >> as for when the family will begin at noon normal and return not, they said they had talked about it. expect the verdict so soon. brianne carter, abc 7 news. could be a verdict over second-hand smoke tha

that is in the hands of the jury. we are live outside the federal courthouse where the deliberating started about 10:30 this morning. good afternoon. >> good afternoon. this trial is in the hands of the jury. the jury has a tremendous amount of testimony to get through before they decide of the senator is guilty. his fate is in the hands of the jury to decide if the 74-year- old sold his power. fbi agents raided his home and the offices of shopper's food warehouse. >> they carried out boxes. >>> they are accused of taking bribes for $245,000, including a deal to let the company transfer a liquor license and more on the grant money for a benefit. he always said he worked for the grocery store chain, but did not remember to put that in the state's ethic forms. they tried to show he was honest, but disorganized. >> but it was said to be intentional, his connection to the shoppers. he is facing nine counts, providing a false statement to the investigators and if found guilty on all of those, he could get 30 years in priso

the instruction and the prosecution's argument left a lot of confusion in the jury. they argued that the jury did not have to believe that conrad murray had actually caused the death of michael jackson. it was enough if he significantly contributed to it. and the jury may well have been very confused as to whether the propofol itself had to be the causative agent in the death. because there was substantial evidence that it might not have been the agent in the death or that he might have self-administered it. so it's a verdict that's not surprising, but a verdict that might very well be successfully appealed. >> were you surprised conrad murray didn't get released on bail today? because a lot of people raised an eyebrow at that given that he doesn't appear to be an ongoing threat to the public. >> it was completely his lawyer's fault. his lawyer was utterly unprepared to make an argument about bail. it was shocking to see that lawyer floundering like a deer in headlight. the judge said, basically, is that all you have to say? he made no argument for bail. what he shou

the fate of michael jackson's doctor lies in the hands of the jury. he is accused of giving jackson an overdose of propofol and could face four years behind bars if convicted. the jury today were out for the whole day but haven't come up with a verdict yet. ted rowlands is at the courthouse and joins me now. no verdict. what does that tell you? we've had a full day of deliberations. clearly the jury are still thinking about this. why? >> reporter: well, seven and a half hours of work today piers. what we do know is it wasn't a situation where they went back, took a vote, and were all in agreement. now is there major discourse here? who knows? if they are going to come to an agreement, of course there is a good chance or a significant chance there would be a hung jury. likely what they're doing is taking their time. this is a jury we've been watching over the last six weeks and they've taken notes and they seem like a very serious bunch. not surprising that they would be diligent in their deliberations. >> ted, stand by for a moment. i'm going to bring

the verdict is in from the jury. guilty of first-degree murder. jayna murray's killer, brittany norwood now facing life in prison. we spent a lot of time chatting with juror number 15a. a man who is obviously very comfortable with the verdict that they came back with and a man who according to his explanation to how seriously they took this is very, very serious about being a jury. right now, we are preparing to go back live to the courthouse where we believe we will be hearing from the prosecution. john mccarthy. i'm sorry, this is the defense attorney who is speaking right now. we'll first listen to him. >> we had raised all the points we wanted to raise. we are disappointed and it's tough for the family to go through this. >> brittany has shown no reaction. >> i think it was a tough emotional experience for her to sit through that trial. i don't think that's what she wanted to be. i think maybe she became deadened do what was going on. certainly during the course of us representing her, she showed a lot of reaction. >> i think she has shown a l

to pay" issued by the civil grand jury. the first finding dealt with the practice of pension spiking. spiking is defined as instances when an employer's final compensation is increased before retiring, causing the increase in pension amount. in the prior report, the civil grand jury defines this as a salary increase of 10% or greater in one of the last three years before retirement. based on pension records supplied by the police and fire departments, the jury found evidence of an increase of over 10% salary during the last three years of service in 10 out of 47 fire department employees, or 21%. the corresponding figure for the police department was 10%. the mayor's office, fire department, and police departments all denied this practice occurred. i can suggest that the members of this committee examine the examples contained in our report and draw their own conclusions. the report also recommends that the salary increases during the three years before retirement that exceed estimates currently at 4.5% be reviewed by the c

i want to talk more about the members of the juries. jeff toobin, to you in new york, as ted pointed out, it's this up-and-down guilt or not with regard to this involuntary manslaughter charge. the crux of the issue is whether or not it was dr. murray who gave michael jackson that fatal dose of propofol or, as the defense argued, it was michael jackson himself who self-ed administered. >> right. was murray's conduct reckless? that's sort of at the heart of this case here. you know, it's important to remember this is not a murder case. this is an involuntary manslaughter case. so there isn't an issue of, did he intend to kill michael jackson? the prosecution didn't charge hill with intending to kill michael jackson. in essence, was he so eckless, was he such a bad doctor, that he caused his death? that's what this case is about, and at least from my vantage point i thought the prosecution did a good job of proving that he was just that bad a doctor. >> so, having listened to the closing argue thes last tuesday, you would give the win to

francisco mta to the civil grand jury. the first figure is $19.25 million. eight represents the annual loss of revenue to the city resulting from the exemption of vehicles with disabled placards from posted time limits and paying parking meter rates for on- street parking. 44% of that amount is due to fraudulent use of handicapped placards. in order to remove the existing financial incentives for motorists who fraudulently used disabled placards, the 2007 report recommended that the san francisco 28 request the city of san francisco's state legislative delegation to hold hearings on blue-collar abuse and consider updating the issuance and use. four years after agreeing with this recommendation, san francisco park has finally come out with a document entitled draft summary or proposal to improve the sensible parking. the key proposals are instead of unlimited exemption from posted time limits, it would reduce the exemption to at least four hours. san francisco mta proposes to major all parking spaces in commercial areas. se

the jury? >> i think it had to. i think it impacted anyone who listened to that audio clip of michael jackson's voice. i's so contrary to the michael jackson, the visual we know michael jackson to be. but, it begs the question of drug addiction. it begs the question of why a doctor would give narcotics and medication and the quantity given to michael jackson with who he was and what he was suffering from in his life. >> we have heard about the potential of probation all the way to four years. but, you compared it to something that another story we had on earlier, lindsay lohan, overcrowding. he may not see jail time. >> i think the reality is he won't see the inside of a jail just like lindsay lohan. california has a different system of calculating time and they have a policy in place about overcrowding. different from here. the likelihood of him going behind bars as we know jail to be is unlikely. >> the sen sense will come at a later time. you think there's more to come in profession here? >>

in the jury's mind. if it was me, i would not have made an opening statement if i was a defense lawyer. i would keep the jury on the edge of their seats until the very end and see what the prosecution proved. >> now, even before the trial got started, the defense missed the deadline to put the insanity defense on. was that a critical mistake, maybe even an incompetent mistake? >> i think that might be an issue for appeal. whoever does her appeal, she'll probably get a different lawyer for appeal as a specialty, they'll look at that carefully to see whether or not there was competence of counsel. >> i suspect that the attorney that was brought in for the purpose, fine attorney. my thoughts are they couldn't find an expert to say that she was not criminally responsible. with that much planning, with that much staging, to say she did not know right from wrong, i don't know any expert that could get up there and say that. >> so they could have wanted to do it, they couldn't find anybody to testify to it so t

inside the jury room of courtroom one, six men and six women of the jury decided right away what they were going to do. >> initially, we came in there and that is how we started. we said which way are people leaning and everybody -- are people leaning towards first degree murder. all hands went up. >> donnie says the 12 then proceeded to discuss the case. within an hour, he says they had decided on a verdict. >> what made it such a quick verdict was that the number of injuries and where they were sustained and the fact that they were sustained while she was still alive before the final injury that killed her was struck. >> reporter: the prosecution showed the jury color autopsy photos of jayna murray's head covered with deep wounds, lacerations and bruises. although brittany norwood watched the jury as they returned to the courtroom, she had no visible emotional reaction. >> yeah, i think she has shown a lot of remorse. i think she has been remorseful since day one about this. we were able to show it happened in a very short period of time. those types of injuries i think are more con

so far, no word from the jury today, but yesterday we got one question from the jury. that could show us how they are leaning. >> senator, are you feeling confident about this trial? >> he is waiting to learn his fate to see if the evidence shows he was paid over a quarter of a million dollars in bribe mob from 2003 to 2008 as the prosecution alleged. he used his power and influence to benefit the grocery store chain, including rent at a mall and letting shoppers to transfer a liquor license and to get millions in state grant money to benefit the shopper's group. his defense said it was legal and he had paid taxes on the money and that he is an honest man that never appeared politically on the behalf of the group. his failure to show them on an ethics form add up to a mistake by his wife. that did not think that this started in 2008, the juries wanted to know if they thought that, could they found the defendant guilty on count one of conspiracy. they could find him guilty during that trim frame and no question from the jury today. >>> as we said, as soon as the jury re

reporting the jury has reached a injured. legal analyst ricki climan, the second day of deliberations. not even a full day. what is your take on the timing? >> one would think that the verdict is going to be guilty. it is hard to believe that under this much evidence for the prosecution that the verdict could be an acquittal in this short of a period of time. they took a full day on friday and that was good. that makes us think they looked at the evidence and certainly i suggested when i was in l.a. on friday they might want to sleep on it. if they had taken the straw vote and came in today, we have to remember with the time change here in new york, they are three hours earlier. they knew what they were going to do today. >> what are double is at the heart of the deliberations. we don't know what's going on in private room, what would have been the lingering information that lasted in your mind? >> this is a battle of experts. we had two different theories of the case as to who administered the fatal dose of propofol. it was

we also want to thank the civil grand jury. we verreally believed the disabled placard frauneeds to be better addressed. the mta's evaluations program has evolved over the years as we learn more about our parking. initially, mta had agreed with the civil grand jury that an independent review panel was necessary. having done our best practices study and our outreach, we believe that the independent review panel is not only administratively burnham some, but we also believe talking to the disabled community that they do not want to have another step for the have to come and demonstrate their disability. what we are recommending, the solution, is double prong. the first thing we think we need to do is understand -- if all the cities in california are asked to implement parking practices in the same way, for example, l.a., san francisco, and oakland have very different issues than vallejo and fresno. the first recommendation is to change the state legislation to allow individual cities and councils to pursue local solutions to the
