mistrial in the penalty faze of the jodi arias trial. >> "starting point" begins now. all right, a bridge collapsed near seattle and send cars and passengers into the frigid river 40 feet below. miraculously there was no deaths. all of this unfolding last night in mount vernon, washington. an hour north of seattle. the bridge was functionally

obsolete. do we know what happened to make this one unsafe at that moment? >> reporter: the primary thing is probably it's age. it was built in 1955 and functionally obsolete does not me structurally unsound, it's shoulders and lower clearance, - and it could have been that clearance that triggered this collapse. it took a smooth rolling interstate into a crumple concrete and cars. a dramatic scene north of seattle. two vehicles were crossing the i-5 bring when it collapsed. the three people in those cars were tossed into the river.

fortunately rescuers arrived quickly. this man was on the bridge when it folded. >> there was a big puff of dust, and i hit the brakes. the weight of the trailer and everything else, we went right off the bridge with everything else. >> they're focus is on an 18-wheeler. >> for reasoning unknown at this point in time, the semitruck struck the overhead of the bridge and caused a collapse. >> authorities are determining what happened. they say the bridge was inspected twice last year, and they say it was in need of repair. this survivor says he is grateful to be alive. >> i'm surprised to be here this evening and glad. >> and many around the state are glad and relieved that this was not worse. some 70,000 cars pass this bridge each and every day.

i drove across it myself just monday of this week. so it's remarkable that only two cars went in in this collapse and three people escaped with relatively minor injuries. but there will be questions why this failed so spectacularly. >> we're so glad there were no fatalities. imine plunging into that icy water. >> amazing that everyone survived. overnight, breaking news, jodi arias' murder trial is becoming a obsession, and it's not going away. it was determined a mistrial in the penalty faze when the juror tried to decide life or death for jodi arias. casey wiam is following the developments, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, after

a five month long trial, jurors dead look 8-4 in favor of the death penalty. >> ladies and gentlemen, i understand you have reached a verdict? >> there was confusion and surprise, even in the voice of the clerk that announced the jury was hopelessly deadlocked. >> we, the jury, dually empanelled and sworn, having found all of the facts and circumstances, that the department should be sentenced -- no unanimous agreement. >> arias sighed as members of alexanders family began to sob. jurors who refused to speak were emotional and so was judge sherry stevens. >> ladies and gentlemen, i wish to thank you for your extraordinary service to this community. this was not your typical trial. >> that it wasn't. it lasted nearly five months

during which arias took the stand for 18 days and made one last plea for her life. jurors were allowed to ask more than 200 questions. there was sexually graphic photographs and injuries and gruesome photographs. including ones of the stabs, shot, body of travis alexander. prosecutors could bring up jodi's recent string of interviews. for example, this statement to a ksaz reporter minutes after her conviction. >> the worst outcome for me is natural life. i would rather die sooner than later. two weeks later, she told the jury a different story.

>> to me, life in prison was the most unappeals outcome i could think of. i thought i would rather die. but as i stand here now, i ask can't you to sentence me to death because of them. >> traifvis alexander's family will not be granting comments until the juror has come to a decision. >> reporter: there could be a negotiated settlement where prosecutors take the death penalty off the table if jodi arias takes a life in prison without the possibility of release. >> this ugly drama continues.

>> let's bring in nancy grace right now. emotions running very, very high here. family oaf travis alexander must be really upset about these developments. what was the most surprising thing to you about this jury being deadlocked? >> i was very surprised, although legally, if i was completely objective and had not listened to the testimony since january, this juror started back in december of 2012. when you look at the roadsigns, you can see the jury was having difficulty. even when you watched, and a lot of people don't think you can look at a jury and tell what's going on, i disagree. when they come stalking out of the jury deliberation room with their arms crossed. some set apart from the others, there's not the same comradery they had before, the fact that they kept having questions, that

they told the judge we're deadlocked, help us out on one occasion, should have pointed to the fact there was going to be a mistrial. >> i found it hard to expect because of the gruesome nature of the slaughter. that's what i mean, slaughter. he was slaughtered like a pig in the slaughter house. j. >> and the question now is what next? what are the challenges in retrying the penalty phase of a case. >> the good thing is the evidence is extremely fresh. i had to retry a case 14 years after the original trial lawyer tried it. it's hard to put that case back together. it will be easy to reassemble the evidence. here is the kicker. i think juan martinez, the prosecutor, will go forward

seeking the death penalty unless travis alexander's family begs him not to. they just can't relive six more months of looking at a picture of their beloved nearly decapitated and listening to jodi arias' lives. the good note, all those tv interviews, where she requested hair and makeup -- those are k be used. >> and we must note your button. >> last night i have a physical response, like a clench when i looked and saw that family. they panned down the front pew, and the men were just stone faced starring at the jury like they could not take it in. and the women who were very, very physically beautiful, when you see them the camera does not

do them justice, their faces were just contorted, crying and clutching each other. they told me it's very difficult. many of them live in california. they have to leave their jobs, families, children. have you ever had your kids say please don't go to work? they beg them don't go back to trial, but they go back every day to sit in from travis alexander, and it's all starting again. >> it's just amazing. we're going to continue to keep going on here as they empanel a new jury. thank you so much, have a great morning. don't forget to watch nancy grace behind bars, a two-night special event. she goes behind bars to talk to female inmates at the same jail where jodi arias awaits her fate. and this is breaking news,

hcm for short, it's a thickenning of the heart lining. it's also coined as the term athletes heart. so when you see 15 and 16-year-old kids playing basketball, they will pass out, and when they pass out it's because of this, and if they don't get help in time, their heart stops too long and they die. that's why they put defibrillators in the school in the first place. so i'm a lucky recipient of that defibrillator. >> when alana grows up, are you going to say i died to delivery. >> i have like the best ammunition for the rest of her life. she can never do anything wrong, ever. >> and if she does, do you know what we went through to bring you into this world.

vernon, washington, an hour north of seattle. we found katherine barrett there live. what can you tell us? >> as you said, there were injured in this, but very fortunately -- this bridge carries as many as 70,000 vehicles across this span. only two vehicles fell into the water. in these two vehicles, three people rescued fairly swiftly from very cold water and transported to local hospitalized where they are reported to be in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries. glad to have survived what could have been a much, much worse situation in terms of human toll. obviously, structurally terrible, and a main artery from the canadian boarder to the oregon border through the state, much commerce passes this way, a busy holiday weekend coming up, having this artery severed will have an impact on traffic. there aren't very good road

alternatives in this area. you can see on the bridge behind me, the whole superstructure, the steel superstructure collapsed and dragged with it the concrete base into the water. you can still see in the water there, the two cars that were -- that drove off the bridge. one driver described what it felt like at that instance when he saw a puff of white smoke and suddenly was launched into the air. all he could do is grip the steering wheel tight, hit the water and next thing he knew, car was filling with water. shoulder dislocated. managed to pop his shoulder back in. pull his wife to his side of the car. she was unresponsive at that point. they were rescued relatively quickly. and he was well enough to talk about his ordeal with reporters later in the day. again, the human toll could have been much worse, but there are a lot of questions of exactly how this happened.

as you said, the bridge has been -- had been declared functionally obsolete. but that doesn't mean structu structurally unsound. the state admits many of the bridges need help. another major story, a lot of people waking up to this morning. jodi arias avoids the death penalty for now. the jury that convicted her of killing travis alexander was deadlocked in whether she should receive life in prison or death. the foreman of the hung jury speaking publicly for the first time. casey wian live in phoenix. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, john. this deadlocked 8-4 in favor of the death penalty when that decision announced yesterday afternoon. the jury declined to speak with reporters, but the foreman of

the jury did speak this morning with "good morning america," began to give some insight as to why this jury was hopelessly deadlocked. >> i'm very sure in my own mind that she was mentally and verbally abused. now, is that an excuse? of course not. does it factor into decisions we make? it has to. >> do you think she did herself any favors on the stand? a lot of debate over whether those 18 days of testimony helped or hurt her? >> i think she was not a good witness. >> the big question going forward, has jodi arias done any favors in granting the television interviews she granted the past couple of weeks? prosecutors able to bring the contradictory interviews to evidence in a new penalty phase scheduled to begin in july.

and there has been a potential to negotiate a settlement where prosecutors might take the death penalty off the table to her agreeing to a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of release. very interesting developments, we'll have to see how this plays out, john. >> thank you so much. one reason they may strike a deal like that is to spare family and friends the pain of having to go through this again. we were talking to nancy grace about that earlier. if travis alexander's family were to plead and beg perhaps the court to say don't do this to us again, that might be a factor in causing them to perhaps not retry the penalty phase. >> the issue so interesting, so many aspects of arizona's particular legal system is that, you know, you have to have a unanimous decision either for life in prison or the death penalty. must be unanimous. so you have these jurors who must come to a decision one way or the other. this jury couldn't do it. the nightmare continues for friends and family of travis

alexand alexander, joining me now is julie christopher, a close friend of travis. what do you make of this? what are friends and family saying about this new leg of the legal drama? >> you know, it's interesting, because, of course, i'm extremely upset. i'm very upset. and no word for what's going on and then he made up a new word this is a travis-ty. it's a way that jodi now has more time to think, to be more in front of the camera, and she has what she wanted and that's what makes me so upset. you know, she's playing with people's minds and go this jury. and the subconscious mind can really turn on you and monkey mind, when you leave with somebody or you sit with somebody for four months, you somehow -- your subconscious will play on you and maybe you convert to maybe have feelings

for that person, and i really think she manipulated those poor people to the fact that they couldn't -- they didn't have a mind. they couldn't even think anymore and so that -- and that's like -- that's how she wanted it. she wanted to play people to the point where she's, again, on the spotlight and it's not over, and i thought for the longest time, i said this is not going to be over, you know. >> julie, given this, given that retrying the penalty phase might he give her another platform, do you want to go through this all again for another personality phase? >> this is just ridiculous, you know, it's like, okay. you know, stay tuned for the second, femme fatale is coming back. we're so tired of her and we need to see more of travis, we need to see the life of travis, and really put him more in the

light, because to be honest, you know, everyone is so tired of jodi and seeing her, and -- and, you know, and her lies. she keeps on going. >> what do you make of her behavior? some would say her performance over the past few weeks? interviews, courtroom behavior, what do you make of it? >> you know, this is someone i sat and had lunch with. realize, it's unbelievable. what i make of is she -- there is something in her that -- there are demons in her. >> you met her before all of this. you sat and ha lunch with her. jodi arias you see in court in these interviews, that the jodi arias you knew? >> absolutely. cold and calculated and she -- she is going to give you what you want to see. and either she's a good actress -- i don't believe she is sick in her mind.

i believe this is someone who absolutely knows what she's doing and she continues playing that role. she would -- she would shift to being the little, you know, cute fwirl, clean cut, and to something more sexual. she plays with that. and she tricks people. she's very good at that. and, you know, maybe a lot of people are not very centered and very grounded to see who she is, but come on, it's very obvious that she is, you know -- she's evil in my opinion. there is something about her that, oh, she just needs to stay away, and my -- my concern that she does prison, she would still do the arts and crafts, and why not? >> thank you so much for being with us this morning and sharing your views on this matter. we appreciate it. brand new video into cnn, an

president obama has vowed to close the guantanamo bay prison camp, not getting the reaction he hoped for. protesters repeatedly interrupted the speech. >> the pressure to close the detention facility at guantanamo bay didn't let up, even when president obama delivering his highly anticipated speech on national security. >> you are commander in chief! you can close fwaun tan month today! >> heckler medea benjamin, cofounder of code pink, interrupted the president repeatedly. >> once again, today -- >> 102 hunger strikes, these people are desperate. >> i am about to address it, ma'am. let me speak. >> reporter: the issues are worth paying attention to. but pointed the finger at congress. >> i tried to close gitmo. transferred detainees to other

countries before congress opposed restrictions to effectively prevent us from either transferring detainees to other country or imprisoning them here in the united states. >> reporter: the first first pledged to close gitmo in the 2008 campaign and again when he took office in 2009. it remains open and the situation more urgent than ever as detainees continue a hunger strike. to ease the way to closing the facility. president obama announced he's lifting a ban on detainee transfers to yemen. >> i know the politics are hard. but history will cast a harsh judgment on this aspect of our fight against terrorism and those of us who fail to end it. >> republican senator john mccain, which the president also reminds americans, supports closing gitmo, says there is a lot more than just shutting the door. >> they never came up with a coherent or cohive plan to close guantanamo bay. that's why it's still open.

>> reporter: other top republicans labeled the detainee policy a failure. the heckler whose organization praised her wants the same thing as the president, but has grown tired of waiting. >> i love my country! i love the rule of law! >> tom republicans say they are willing to work with the president to close gitmo. but wants to make sure detainees are kept off the battlefield when releaseded. >> this is something that has vehiclesed the administration from the very beginning, when he promised during the first campaign he would close it. >> candy crowley, this was a big part of his 2007-08 campaign. it dunt happen. he blamed congress. what will make it easier? >> nothing will make it easier now, except that there is a

general feeling that at some point they have to do something, and it isn't just the president promised in the campaign, remember, he signed that directive within one or two days in his first term that said we'll close guantanamo bay. the problem was, nobody in charge of doing this. kind of languaged after congress said you can't move them to the u.s., we don't want them tried in civil court. so there are so many different kinds of prisoners at gaughan tan month a small group. but some of them cleared to go home, but the president put a block on sending them back to yemen, where many of them are from, because they were worried they would go back on the battlefield. he has lifted that. but there are other prisoners that need to be adjudicated that they think they can take to court and the third set of prisoners that they think they can't release, because they are so dangerous, but don't have enough evidence to take to court, because it would compromise sources or got the evidence through torture, so

there are so many moving parts on top of this dreadful hunger strike going on, force feeding prisoners. this has hit critical mass here and what congress is saying, what's the plan? how do you keep them off the battlefield? what will do you with the prisoners that we can't release or try? they want something more specific based on what the president said yesterday. >> not just congress saying things right now. it also appears to be the american people. we polled this question. do americans support keeping the base open in guantanamo. 70% approve having the prison in guantanamo bay. the president will have to convince the american people as well. >> remember, george bush at the end of the section term wanted to close guantanamo bay, this is one of the things where the cliche works, it's so much easier said than done. >> this was a major policy speech by the president. really laid a lot out, talked about a broad range of subjects,

including drones. trying to put meat on the bones, tell the american people what the drone policy is. >> he did, although when -- it seemed to me there was a lot less there than met the ear. he said we're going to -- sort of preparing for the end of the war on terror. which this administration seems to define as 2014. that is when they expect troops -- u.s. troops to be out of afghanistan. how do you deal with these sorts of associated al qaeda groups? the president and white house feels that by the time the troops are pulled from afghanistan, pretty much al qaeda as where he knew it, 11, 12 years ago, has been decimated, pretty much doesn't have the capacity to reach the u.s. so what the president said was, listen, now we're looking at these lone wolfs and made the statement and this upset some republicans, that now we're back to what the terror threat was

9/11. not looking at the large-scale hit the world trade center, hit the pentagon, you know, crash a plane in pennsylvania. we're not looking at those kinds of massive attacks. we're looking at hard to track lone wolfs, so he's talking about both domestic terror, in the use of drones, said we have to make sure that almost zero percent that civilians are killed in a drone attack, imminent threat and no way to get the person. no feasible way to get the person, which, in fact, is pretty much what they have been dog. so in the end, this was a speech that set the table, but certainly didn't serve up a lot of specifics and that's now where the administration needs to go. >> i'm sure this will be one or several of the hot topics this sunday. don't misstate of the union, cnn, 9:00 a.m. eastern. thank you for being with us. ahead on "starting point," anthony weiner attempted a

pretty well. and i hope no teacher has to go what we went through. i can't imagine wishing it on anybody. >> janice, you followed the school's procedures on that morning. what went through your head as the tornado hit your school? >> the thing that went through my head is this, we've always talked about this isn't the real thing, that this is what we would do if it were the real thing when we were practicing. what went through my head this is the real thing, and it -- it was -- it was frightening, and i -- i felt what the children felt. but i didn't want to express it in any way. i wanted to be calm for them. >> tell me what you -- janice, what you said to the kids yesterday at school? was it just hugs? was it -- was it just being together again, saying good-bye for the summer? what was it exactly? >> it was great to see them.

listening to kids differently because of what they have been through? >> we've all been changed because of what happened on monday, and i think now when our kids, we say we're going to tornado drill or to fire drill, or to lockdown, it's going to be a lot more real to them, more -- some of them will be very scared when we do it, we'll have to be more reassuring, it is a drill, we have to repractice them and remind them why. >> thank you, both. for doing your shirt in such an exemt lear way. parent, teacher, everyone in the country, when you see the video, hear the stories of how you laid down on top of these kids, told them it's going to be okay, and i love you, it breaks our heart and makes our hearts burst at the same time. thank you to both of you. best of luck this summer. >> you're welcome. 2008 cnn hero and nonprofit

why. why did you choose to do that? i went back to chicago, sat with my doctors and walked through why we made that decision. i also talked to a young girl, the youngest ever to have a double mastectomy because she carries the same brca gene. >> it starts with a lump or shadowy figure on a black and white screen. >> this, we know is cancer. >> that's how it happened to me. >> any other spots in either breast can be the same thing, they can be benign, malignant, we really don't know. >> all the doctors know for sure, this one dot of my left breast has encapsulated cancerous cells. called ducto carcinoma incite. the most common form of innovative breast cancer. all of the white blobs and blue blips could signal more cancer or be nothing at all. >> you have a four to five times greater risk to develop breast cancer than the average woman.

>> it's that uncertainty that led me to choose a prur increasingly done by women fearful of getting breast cancer. i will undergo a double mastectomy, not only removing the cancerous tissue in the left breast, but the suspicious tissue in the right breast. >> this is my great grandmother lillian and my mother sandra. died a week apart of breast cancer. >> lindsey had no signs of breast cancer when she underwent a double mastectomy. when i was 12, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and then ovarian cancer. thee diseases have stalked my family for years. >> genetic testing showed that she carried the same gene found

in angelina jolie. >> waiting to get cancer instead of reducing the risk of developing it prompted me to have the decision of having a double mastectomy. >> lindsay's foundation, bright pink, advocates being proactive. removing healthy breast tissue is more complicated. >> we don't have any evidence that removing a healthy breast will help a woman prolong her life or live a better life. a lot of what drives those decisions related to anxiety about a new tumor on the othered side. >> a lumpectomy followed by radiation is the most common way to treat my type of breast cancer. the survival rates are similar to those who choose mastectomy. not comfortable with so many suspicious areas on my scans. i want to show everybody the mris. i didn't want more biopsies, potentially missed cancer and

screenings. would you recommend me to have a double mastectomy? >> only because it was your choice. >> dr. thomas witt counsels patients to make decisions based on facts, not fear. that doesn't mean personal consideration doesn't play a role. >> the fear factor. >> one is the fear of having a cancer and there is the fear of intervention itself. the fear of losing your breast what will my husband or boyfriend think about me? what will i think about myself? how will my sexuality be affected. in women that have a strong fear in that direction are more inclined to save their breast unless they have a diagnosed cancer in it. >> such a complicated decision to make. the breast cancer surgeon who raised concerns will be performing my double mastectomy on tuesday and another doctor will perform reconstructive surgery on the same day.

i had give you a window once women face once they go up against breast cancer surgery, specifically a double mastectomy. a couple of things i want to point out in this piece, i really wanted to focus on this dense breast tissue, my issue. a lot of women say i have the exact same breast tissue that you do. talk to your radiologist about that. ask your radiologist, once you have the mammogram, put it up on the screen, show me exactly what is wrong. a radioologist has a breadth of knowledge and lindsay avner, the young woman you saw in this, she has the opportunity to change lives. one of the things she does, go on our website and take a look, she tries to empower young women to start self-exams at an early age and walk you through, what should you be feeling? we're told an an early age, do yourle is breast exam?
