>> good morning, everyone, i'm ashleigh banfield, coming your way this hour. is this devout mormon an mother of seven and grandmother really a drug dealer? we will take you inside a mexican prison to get her side of the story in a tearful and telling interview with an arizona woman caught in an international legal nightmare. also, james holm, claims he's ensane, he says he shouldn't have to answer to the doctors who want to prove he isn't. is the theatre massacre

suspect trying to avoid execution? how much more can oklahoma and kansas take? tornado alley in the crosshairs again today. we will tell you who else is facing the threat of severe weather. we will go storm chasing with chatted myers, all that just ahead. first up this morning, after weeks of breaking news that has ricochetted between the cleveland house of horrors and a death deadlock case in california. a jury has been sitting by day after day in an l.a. courtroom listening to the lawyers battling over michael jackson and whether somebody needs to pay for his tragic death. somebody being blamed is the company that set up a block buster concert tour a. tour in which jackson would never even grace the stage. jackson's family claims the ting king of pop died because the tour company hired a doctor who did everything and anything to make him well enough to perform a break neck schedule. the company, aeg, says jackson was the master of his own plan and the one who hired the

doctor. cnn just obtained an exclusive video that the jurors have now seen for the first time. it's the deposition of that ceo from back in december. on the video, he is repeatedly asked about an e-mail he wrote, basically, warning the concert organizers that jackson's personal doctor better shape up. as john berman reports, the ceo's answers or lack thereof, the jury actually burst out laughing. >> reporter: a potential bombshell in the trial against aeg, the concert promoter managing michael jackson's "this is it" comeback tour. [ music playing ] >> reporter: aeg has long contended that they did not hire dr. conrad murray. the physician convicted offed a machinestering the lethal dose of the propofol to jackson. instead, aeg maintained it was the king of pop that hired murray. but in an e-mail the jackson

family attorneys are calling the smoking gun, co-ceo of aeg live allegedly pressured murray into having jackson ready for rehearsals despite his ailing health. he write, quote, we want to remind murray that it is aeg, not mj, who is paying his salary. we want to remind him what is expected of him. he says he doesn't recall the message. >> i don't remember this e-mail. >> cnn has exclusively obtained his videotaped deposition that was shown to the jury. >> based on the assumptions that aeg is your company and mj is michael jackson, do you have an understanding of what that means? >> no, i don't understand. we western paying his salary. >> so why would you write that? >> i have no idea. >> let's go onto the next sentence, when you say "his salary" who were you talking about? >> i don't know. >> the cnn reporter has been in the courtroom since the

beginning of the trial. >> reporter: to watch him try to dance around it and explain this e-mail, it was very interesting in court. at times today there was laughter because of his the perception of hills evasiveness. >> the jackson family is suing aeg stating they negligently hired and supervised murray, who was serving time for envoluntary manslaughter. if aeg is found liable, it could cost the company billions of dollars. >> again, our thanks to john berman for that report. our cnn digital reporter jones me like right now. he has been in the courtroom throughout the trial. also with me is lisa plume, a legal analyst for avo.com. she is kind enough to join me by skype. slays is an attorney. he is admitted to practice in several states and california as well. alan, you are a reporter watching this first hand. alan, first to you, the jury was actually laugh something. >> yes. well the judge actually laughed,

too. they made jokes at the end of the day. the judge referring to the i don't recall answer says, we've had enough of those. she says said that outside the presence of the jury. it was somewhat comic am. but this is a very serious subject because michael jackson died. the family claims it was the aeg execs liable in his death. >> well, there are times when laughing does happen. lisa, you will attest to that. we see moments of levity, even in first-degree murder cases. not when it comes to the way the evidence is actually unraveling in front of their eyes. i want to play one moment on the tape that seems fairly perplexing when it comes to the facts. >> when you say "his salary," who were you talking about? >> i don't know. >> how do you know you weren't paying his salary if you don't know who you were talking about? >> i don't remember this e-mail. >> didn't you just testify that

you western paying his salary? >> aeg? >> yes. >> no. >> no, you testified "we western paying his salary." you just testified to that a few second ago, right? >> i guess. >> well, whose salary are you referring to, dr. murray's? >> ah, yes. >> okay. lisa bloom, you can get away with i don't know a lot and i don't remember and that happens. it's legitimate in a lot of case but when you don't know who he is after having just referred to who he is. is pretty troublesome. that's not lost on the jury, is it? >> so in my law practice i prepare witnesses for trial all the time. this is a perfect example of what not to do. high ranking pple in the corporate world tend to behave this way. they're not going to answer any question. they don't remember anything about anything. jurors do not like that. when i get a jury laughing along

with me, i know that i've got them. this looks very bad for aeg. >> and alan due, when this transpired, i just said to lisa, it happens a lot in case, there are thousands of questions asked, busy executives handle thousands of e-mails, freakily, people will say, i don't recall that. how many times did this executive resort to the answer i don't remember and i don't recall? >> yeah, it could have been a record number. i've not began to through the transcript and counted a lot of them. some of the lawyers said they've never heard it like this. frankly, i have been covering case in northern 30 years. i never heard anything like this. yeah, it's very, very noticeable that he is not really wanting to answer these questions. >> all right i'm going to hold it there for now. we are in the plaintiff's case.

things always look rough when the plaintiff's prevenlt then you get the defense. things will possibly change. we will see how they battle that one out. alan duke, thank you for your reporting as well. in other news now, preliminary tests show that ricin was found in two letters sent to new york mayor michael bloomberg this past weekend. bloomberg says one of the letters talked about his anti-gun records. he says there was quote a pink-orange oily substance inside the letters. the fbi told us that it's working to find out where the letters were sent from, then, of course, who sent them as well. a 22-year-old who sells sodas and waters at disneyland is instead today behind bars on a $1 million bail. police in anaheim, california say he set off a dry ice bomb in a trash can in mickey's tonight

town section on tuesday night. fortunately, nobody was hurt in all of this. but it did really scare a lot of people. it was loud. it startled us. you kind of ducked, looked up. i looked a little higher than the ground to see what was going on. it's unfortunate it was something on a small kail instead of something more sinifter. i will be going back today, tonight town is not my favorite. i wasn't all that sad we evacuated it. >> there was a president is incident on sunday this one just bizarre, a grandmother found a gun aboard the dinosaur ride at the animal kingdom. a man told the orlando "sentinel" that it had fallen of of higgs pock and he had no idea disney did not allow guns on that property. a mormon mom locked in a mexican jail accused of carrying

marijuana. >> people are doing this work. this is not right. >> cnn goes one-on-one inside the jail to get her side of the story. the day my doctor told me i had diabetes, i remember thinking there's a lot i have to do... check my blood sugar, eat better. start insulin. today i learned there's something i don't have to do anymore. my doctor said with levemir® flexpen... i don't have to use a syringe and a vial. levemir® flexpen comes prefilled with long-acting insulin taken once daily for type 2 diabetes to help control high blood sugar. dial the exact dose. inject by pushing a button. no drawing from a vial. no refrigeration for up to 42 days. levemir® (insulin detemir [rdna origin] injection)

. for an american mother of seven and a devout mormon, a trip to mexico to attend a funeral of an aunt has turned into nothing more than a journey to hell. investigators are accusing yanira maldonado of smuggling 12-pound of marijuana when she was coming home. the pot was allegedly found under her bus seat. now she is sitting in a mexican prison. her family is convind, she was set up, framed for this. even a mexican state official, although anonymously, says he disagree, this was wrong. in a tearful interview, yanira maldonado repeatedly insists she is innocent and her nightmare is all a big mistake. >> reporter: yanira maldonado was emotional from the moment she saw us, escorted into the

administrator's office to be interviewed. >> i'm not a criminal. i'm here by mistake because people are not doing their work. this is not right. i need to be back with my family. i need to be out of here. i need help. >> reporter: maldonado and her husband were returning by bus from the funeral of her aunt when mexican soldiers stopped the vehicle at this checkpoint. passengers were taken off and the bus searched. the soldiers said they found several packages of marijuana unher seat, 5.7 kilos, more than 12-pound. she says asked her to pay $5,000. >> it's a lie what they are saying. they say they found something under my seat. i never saw anything. they didn't show me anything. it was just amazing all that what they did. >> reporter: maldonado says authorities did not make it clear at first she was a

suspect, but she knew she was in trouble when federal agents started questioning her husband and her. >> i was in shock when they said it was me, first they said that it was my husband. >> taken into mexican federal custody, shelves transferred to a state prison last friday, where she is being held in a temporary cell away from other inmates. family members have been allowed brief visits. >> your husband gary and children will be listening to this an watching you. what do you want to tell them? >> that i love them very much and i'm going to let them know i'm innocent. >> that intleef held by a state official with extensive knowledge of the case who told cnn it would have been almost impossible for her to carry that much marijuana onto the bus without someone noticing. >> they have cameras on the terminal in the bus.

and they haven checked that. why they don't check for fingerprints? i don't have my fingerprints are not in those pack only or the pack only or whatever they're saying that they found. >> reporter: maldonado says she has not been mistreated but she is rethinking advice to friend about traveling to mexico on vacation. >> i used to tell people, come to mexico. it's not true what they're saying. i go every year to visit my family and look what's happening to me now. >> all this devout mormon can do now, she says, is pray. rafael romo, cnn, mexico. >> cnn's casey wian is covering this from goodyear, have you had a chance to talk to her family about this interview? >> reporter: i have, ashleigh. i spoke with three different family members this, mo. i can tell you, yesterday, when the family found out yanira was

interviewed by cnn him some of them were very nervous that she could say something that cowell jeopardize her release, anger officials. this is a delicate, sensitive time in this case. this morning, they're very happy with the way she came across in the interview. they say it's very obvious that she has been treated well. obviously, she's upset. some of those family members said they cried when they saw her on cam rachl they are happy to see she is strong in her faith. they say this has just increased their resolve to try to do everything they can to get her home. they say she needs to be home with her family. they say they believe she is 100% innocent ashleigh. >> what is going on in the judicial system there? are we had a standstill on the case? >> reporter: well, it's really strange. it almost seems that that's the way it is. first of all, mexican military officials at that checkpoint where yanira was apprehended

last yooek week were supposed to appear before this judge. they according to family did not show up. perhaps they will come in today some time and give their testimony. obviously, that's very key to the resolution of this case. we are expecting more of a formal hearing tomorrow. on the diplomatic side, according to u.s. state department as of yesterday, they are in close contact with mexican consular officials but they say they haven't spoken to yanira maldonado since friday of last week. they say they are trying to aarrange another visit. there is not a lot of movement that they can talk about right now, ashleigh is. >> do you know, i'm not sure if any 81 knows about her situation, is she incarcerated in a safe viemt in general population? what's the her setup? >> reporter: you notice, i don't know specifically. i think rafael romo, my colleague, who got that interview would have more information. i know he's going across the

border today. so we're going to have to wait a little bit more to get more specific information. but it does seem from all accounts that she has been well treated while in custody in mexico, ashleigh. >> it is a difficult situation, no matter how you slice it. casey wian thank you for that, reporting live for us today. this is a story that has a lot of people just, you know, really in amazement that that little baby is alive and well today after being cut out of a sewage pipe and the details that continue to emerge to how he got in that pipe are really fascinating. a little bit more about the mom, a little bit more about her parents and what's next for that baby next. we're at the exclusive el chorro lodge in paradise valley, arizona where, tonight, we switched their steaks with walmart's choice premium steak. it's a steakover! this was perfect. it was really good! one of the best filets i've had. see, look how easy that is to cut. these are perfectly aged for flavor and tenderness. you're eating walmart steaks.

[ music playing ] almost a year after a gunman fired off a volley of bullets inside a crowded movie theatre in colorado, the accused killer, who claims he was insane, now has a problem with the rules that govern how you are allowed to claim are you you are insane in that case. he does not like that he has to appear to scientists and answer their questions. he says that interferes with his fifth amendment. he wants to plead insanity, he doesn't want to be questioned. the only way to get a conviction is to prove he is not insane. i know this is insane, joining us to sort it out is christine grillo in king's county, better known as brooklyn in new york. lisa bloom is here as well, legal analyst for avo.com. christine, are you a prosecutor.

in. co the burden is on you to prove that man is, in fact, sane and not insane. are you being told, i'm sorry, are you fought allowed to question his sanity? >> as you put that, is inshayne sane. he is now saying he did not know right from wrong. that is the insanity defense, he is so basically out of his mind, he did not know his actions, were right, didn't know whether they were right or wrong. i should add that colorado adds something else to it making it more difficult for the prosecution. because the defense can also claim he could not control his impulses. he could now say i do know right from wrong. i know the act i was about to do was depravd, however, i could not control my impulsings because -- impulses bus of my mental illness. >> isn't it not an entire defense? >> they add to the insanity defense, colorado does, that the

defendant can say, he doesn't have to prove everything, he can say, maybe i wasn't that crazy, maybe i know about my actions, but i have this irresistible impulse also. it's making a prosecution's job more difficult that. i have to prove his sanity beyond a reasonable doubt with all three of these qualification. >> they may be making it difficult, but, lisa bloom, i have seen you cover enough cases to know it is very, very difficult for the defense to prevail. as the percentage that is miniscule of people that actually mount an insanity case that actually win. >> that's right, ashleigh. a lot of people raise the insanity case especially in high profile case, it seems, because it never almost works. jury ris don't want to -- injuries don't want to come book and say, yes, you killed 12

people, we will let you go, you can go to the mentally ill and you can maybe get out later. by the way, we all have a fifth amendment right against self-incrimination. ordinarily, we cannot face questions that law enforcement poses to us. i don't think his position is crazy. i do think it is unlikely it would prevail in court. >> what i don't understand is if a doctor shows up at your doorstep, you gone get to not commit, what's to say he could keep his mouth south shut? >> yes, this becomes the battle of the experts t. prosecution has the right because they have the burden to put on proof. the only way to get to the proof is to examine the defendant. if you tell them they can't investigate the defendant. it's like saying you are if a boxing match, you can't raise your hands. is not very fair and just.

criminally responsible for how they carry their babies. it involves a woman naked nina buckhalter, 33-years-old. prosecutor say she used illegal drugs while she was pregnant and caused the stillbirth of her baby. now they are trying to figure out she could be charged with manslaughter for this. does that mean there could be others that suffer a miscarriage or a stillbirth? joining me is lisa bloom, analyst for avo.com and prosecutor christine grillo from the brooklyn da. lisa, let me start with you. yikes, wow! the autopsy apparently revealed there were methamphetamines found in the fetuses system. the m.e. ruled the death as a homicide, which is unusual in itself. don't you need a cause and a manner of death and just finding

the presence of methamphetamines. how do you know that led to the stillbirth? >> you put your finger on the aspect of this case. the american medical association has filed briefs saying exactly that. you can't prove cause and effect so clearly. we all know drug use is a very bad idea for a pregnant woman. it isn't necessarily the reason for this death. taking a step back, ash lee, i would like to see the money on these prosecutions to go towards prenatal care, towards educating and courage. i think this is a fetus. it's not a baby legally. we have reproductive rights in this country. this is a dangerous expansion of fetus rights to the detriment of a woman. >> no one is arguing it is wrong with a capital "w" to do this kind of thing when you are

pedestrian. i'm learning about the legal precedent that's set here. can't you then extent the behavior of this mother, whether it's drugs or drink or having a glass of wine, going into early labor, running marathons, that kind of behavior. isn't that all the kind of thing, ec posier and -- exposure and recklessness. >> what if that causes you to go into early labor and that wasn't healthy for your baby. this is a slippery slope. they are exposing issues they haven't chipped away at the danger they are exposing with imto by prosecuting this woman. do i agree with it? absolutely not. is it appall something absolutely. it comes down to the question of intent that you must be able to as a prosecutor approve the intent of a crime, especially when you are charging them with an intentional crime. here, there is nothing to prove this woman intended to kill her

child by dog such stupid things when she was pregnant. >> i know they go after other people who do things with pregnant women with that intent. it's never applied to a woman, herself. great questions. we will have interesting answers. lisa bloom with aco.com. christine grillo. thank you. when we come back, a teacher who became a mother and got fired by it. fired by her catholic church school. and all of it because she got pregnant and wasn't married. get this, there was no prepare tal sex involved. yeah, those answers coming up next ♪ [ engine revs ] ♪ [ male announcer ] just when you thought you had experienced performance, a new ride comes along and changes everything. ♪ the 2013 lexus gs,

sharyia law and stone me, they can't do that either. >> don't sign up >> but protecting you from stoning you to death and protecting you from your ways to conceive -- actually, no one even mentioned the sexuality. that i'm surprised that they didn't even go back to her about the sexuality, if that's within the contract, i don't know. but just what you're saying, let's say that islamic school does not allow you to show your face, that you need to wear the appropriate garb required for islamic religion. and you decide that, no, i'm not going to do this anymore. you can lose your job. you must abide by the contract that you've signed up to work for. >> i could argue about this all day because if they force me to go get my driver's license and wear that veil, i'd say no. no, because the law won't let me. but you have to come back and we'll have to talk about this once they figure out where they go with this case. christine grillo from the brooklyn d.a. she is tough. >> thank you. >> okay. so, listen, there is a part of

america that has had it. rain and hail and wind and it just will not let up. these people, they need a break. our chad myers has decided to go there and experience a little bit of storm chasing to figure out how bad it's getting for people in oklahoma. he's going to be live with us next. ready? happy birthday! it's a painting easel! the tide's coming in!

video you just have to see. strong storms whipping through arlington, texas. watch this. as the workers on the field struggle to cover up the field, rain, wind, lightning tearing through there. look at them scrambling just to keep that thing down. it's like a massive sail. this was last night's game between the texas rangers and arizona diamondbacks. oh, man. clearly postponed. apparently the rangers ground crew was sent out to do this before they realized how strong this was going to be. no idea whether they were ever able to actually get anything down on that field and how long it's going to take to play that game, but probably better they weren't out there for the rest of it. so there's another round of very severe weather that's expected today all the way from minnesota and wisconsin right down to north texas where those rangers played. take a peek at this. yeah, unmistakable sound of

hail. the meteorologist that we love when it comes to this situation is chad myers. he and our cnn crew out in oklahoma where the worst weather's expected. it doesn't look bad behind you right now, but is it always sort of the calm before the storm there? >> you know what, ashleigh, it looks very bad to a weather man behind me. because you don't want the sun out. you don't want that blue sky. you don't want it to be six degrees warmer where i'm standing today than it was right here yesterday. and you certainly don't want blue skies for the rest of this afternoon because that makes a lot worse weather than we had yesterday. i know we had our share of tornadoes, most of them up in nebraska. but today, because we're not going to see the cloud cover we saw yesterday, the severe weather will be right back here in oklahoma city, back here into guthrie, maybe on up toward el reno, into piedmont, it's that right there, it's that sunshine that's really going to make a severe weather day for us here in oklahoma. we'll be out with storm chasers

today. we'll be out with professionals. now, i don't have that vehicle that can go in the middle of it, and i'm glad of that because it keeps me away from the storm. we got hit with hail yesterday. i'm surprised, ashleigh, that there are any windows left in our car. we were in a 20-minute hailstorm. and the hail would not stop. and it was hard. sometimes hail's not very hard. it kind of hits and smashes. this stuff was just whack, whack. you could hear it on the video. i couldn't talk to my photographer who was sitting right next to me in the driver's seat. it was that loud in our car yesterday. and i expect it to be worse than that today. >> you are a braver man than i. when i saw you out there and heard you talking to wolf blitzer, i thought, chad myers, come on, you know better than that. stay away from those storms. keep us posted on today. >> we'll stay away. >> stay where you are. exactly. and where chad is, oklahoma city, wow, they have really been tested. and they continue to be tested by the weather, but one bit of relief, a big concert, a huge concert last night.
