165,000 of you. >> but that say big improvement over yesterday when 400,000 people were out of power. let's take a look at new york's times square here. cold, cold today. could actually get a few inches of snow. >> the travel nightmare isn't over either. there are a lot of people stranded in the airports. you're watching from the airports right now, we're so sorry. 500 flights already canceled. you know what the roads aren't much better. >> a car rear ended me into another car, i spun and got rear-ended again. >> yeah, that college student said this 30-car pileup in duluth, minnesota, it was like bumper cars. fortunately, though, here's good news, no one suffered any serious injuries. >> 17 people were hurt in this 100-car disaster in north philadelphia. it shut down lanes on the pennsylvania turnpike. >> the accident actually brought out the best in people who

brought food out to people. you see someone bringing out a tray of sandwiches here. >> that makes it hard. >> jennifer gray got the answer to questions most people want answered. is there more on the way? >> i know. unfortunately, yes. at least it's not anything compared to what we saw a couple days ago. we are seeing rain pulling into the d.c. area. the snow has not quite yet made it into new york. it is just to the west of you. it is going to be pushing that way through the next couple of hours. as we timed this out, know will be pushing into new york city, boston. there's actually a blizzard warning for the cape. not boston, but for the cape. otherwise, we're just seeing winter weather advisories all across the northeast. we could pick up a couple inches of snow, though. this is all going to be moving out by the wee hours of sunday morning. this one is going to be moving very quickly. it's going to dump some snow.

nothing like we saw, 2 to 4 across new york. to boston, 6 to 10. other stories today, the temperatures in the south, you're finally going to be warming up. look at these temperatures, atlanta, 64 degrees by monday. we are going to be warming up in the south. unfortunately, though, guys, the northeast dealing with the snow. >> good heavens. i'm amazed at the snow still piling up on the side of the road even with those temperatures. jennifer, thank you so much. we've got an update sfroech now. norway is tied with the united states for the most olympic medals on the day. day eight of the winter games. in fact, both the u.s. and norway have four, gold, three silver and 6 bronze medals. germany has 11. but the nation leads with gold medals with seven right now. >> there's one team that seems pretty far away from the medal. so far, not one american has finished better than seventh place.

and the world leaders are on the u.s. team. the skaters reportedly feel the suits, the suits, victor, may be what's slowing them down. >> and the maker of those suits under armour defended the products. they said the athletes tested the suits before the olympics started. >> we actually had the first athletes skating in the suit in november. every step of the way, the suit has been overwhelmingly positive. it's oh, my god, the suit is so fast, get it off of me before the competition sees it. >> rachel, what is this team going to do, are they going to switch suits, something? >> they're certainly trying to. apparently, there's a slight holdup with the paperwork. they're trying to get the requests processed. crossing the ts, dotting the is. they expect that to happen. they took a team vote, they had

to change as the entire team or not. and the vote came back they would change back to the old suits. the new suits have technological changes but one of the big one is they have extra venting on the back. the idea was supposed to release heat. actually make the skaters faster. some of the skaters found, hey, maybe there's a little drag being created back there. we're talking about a short where the difference is in hundredths of a second. even a little bit can make a difference. hey, you have the number one skater in the world suddenly placing seventh, eighth, 12th. they they there must be something going on. maybe it is the suit. now, we did have one of the american coaches come out and meet with the media today. he said, look, maybe it's not about drag. maybe it's just in these skaters' heads but he said once they think there is a problem. by definition, there is a problem. maybe switching back to the old suits is just mental. maybe it's about comfort level.

maybe security, but that's the reason enough they want to switch back. >> alrighty. so i want to switch sports here for a second here because one of the things that a lot of people are going to be looking at today is this cold war confrontation on the ice. u.s. men's hockey going up against russia. what are they saying there. >> yeah, this is the game everybody has been waiting for, no question, if you'd like to feel old, i can tell you none of the members of team usa were even born for the miracle on ice back in 1980. but there's no question it influenced them. it influenced both of these countries' programs. and there's a lot of pressure on russia to win this game for the home country. and really win this tournament. they and the canadians are considered the favorites but i've got to tell you, the americans have shown a lot of meddle here. they won their first game 7-1 over slovakia. and slovakia is not a teach of

slouches. those are nhl. they scored six goals in that game in four minutes. we'll show they may not have the slashiest player, russia has alex ovechkin, but we'll see what happens. >> rachel, thank you so much. we're looking forward to that. in fact, so much so. i'm so excited about that. in the next hour, we're talking to michael eluzione. he was the captain of that team in 1980. in the murder trial, a juror asks a bombshell of a question. >> jurors are back. in less than four hours. michael dunn could get life in prison. that's what's on the line here. if he's convicted of murdering jordan davis at 2012 in that gas

station. >> martin savidge is there with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, victor, good morning, christi. it's going to be a very interesting day here today with the proceedings. we should point out that jury deliberations are going to begin in just a couple of hours. they're set to begin at 9:00 a.m. the judge said if the jury shows up earlier than that, they can begin deliberating earlier if they wish. but it's the way it ended yesterday that had many people shocked. essentially the jury saying they had hit a wall nap was the last thing they told the judge before he dismissed them and let them go home. well, back to their hotel for the evening. but it was the question before that shocked the courtroom, is it possible that they might not render a decision on one count, but could render a decision on other counts. and that, of course, brought to the forefront what many people had been thinking as the day dragged on that it appeared this jury was growing more and more

deadlocked. the issue what of the a deadlock. if you asked most people, they'd say it's got to be the murder count. that is one that is directly tied to the death of 17-year-old jordan davis. it's a possibility it could be other charges. most people think it's that one in particular that the jury cannot reach a unanimous decision on that. if they do not, that means they would consider a hung jury on that particular charge. but that's the way it ended. maybe the jury comes in much better, rested. maybe in a different frame of mind. they go at it once again. they'll simply have to see. yesterday, we should point out another milestone has passed. this jury has now deliberated longer than the jury for the george zimmerman case. you'll remember that one, and then lastly, tomorrow would be jordan davis' 19th birthday. victor and christi. >> martin savidge, of course, in

>> reporter: the report says richie incognito, along with veteran john jerry and mike ponzi engaged in the harassment. the report agency says that an assistant trainer was the subject of racial slurs. in the fall, richie incognito defended himself. >> i'm embarrassed by it. i'm embarrassed by my actions but what i want people to know is the way jonathan and the rest of the offensive line and how our teammates, how we communicate, it's vulgar. it's not right. when the words are put in the context, i understand why a lot of eyebrows get raised but people don't know how jon and i communicate to one another. >> reporter: according to the report, martin says he was driven into depression. and believed his failure to stand up to his teammates was a personal short coming as he tried to fit in. he considered suicide twice in

2013. and sought treatment for emotional distress after leaving the team midseason. the report also says martin struggled with emotional issues since high school. incognito's lawyer said investigator ted wells' report isle replete with errors adding, quote, it's disappointing that mr. wells would have gotten it so wrong. but not surprising the truth that jonathan martin was never bullied by richie incognito or any members of the defensive line. in a series of tweets before the report was released incognito lashed out at martin claiming, quote, the truth is going to bury you. an on friday, after this report was released came this. please stop the hate. happy valentine's day. >> all right, let's bring in cnn's nick valencia here. so the miami dolphins coach and the front officer they will hear

>> and some nfl players take that side. they say this should have stayed in the locker room, they think jonathan martin was responsible to that fault because he went out and took this to the public eye. there's some that don't agree with what jonathan martin did, owes, though, have his back. >> thank you, nick. so retired nfl player darren sharper is fighting multiple rape charges in southern california and he's being investigated for sexual assaults in three other assaults. alleged sexual assaults. >> los angeles county charged the five-time pro bowler of drugging and attacking two men he allegedly met at a west hollywood nightclub. they're looking into claims he raped five other women in arizona, los angeles and new orleans as well. still to come on "new day," paula deen launches her culinary comeback but are her fans ready to take a bite?

iced over for the first time in 20 years. the buildup forming ice caves. >> these were something special. i've never seen anything like it. they were as big as a garage. >> reporter: so many people in different regions said they've never seen weather like this winter's. over the past week we've reached a point where 49 out of 50 states had snow on the ground. we've seen so-called thunder sleet. captured in this ireport video from a backyard deck in grand meadows, new jersey. but also a punishing drought in california, people in more than a dozen towns in danger of running out of water. again that refrain. >> this is the worst year i've ever seen. >> reporter: these weather patterns are severe, crazy and connected. this winter, a high-pressure ridge of stable air blocked precipitation from coming in from the pacific ocean causing california's drought. then it pushed the jet stream further up into canada than usual which led to a deeper

trough in the east pushing farther south. that's why those areas got hit by cold weather from canada. >> they are associated with that one-way pattern so they are connected in that sense. >> reporter: experts say that no of the jet stream that's driving those severe weather patterns into the south and dumping piles of snow here in the mid-atlantic is also slower moving this year than in you're past. holding those severe weather patterns longer over this area and in places like great britain which caused severe flooding there. the wettest january in 2 1/2 centuries. >> whoo! >> reporter: and, yes, that same wave pattern is what's affected the winter olympics, making it almost summertime in sochi. why is it all so slow-moving this year holding those severe weather patterns over us longer? >> that's an area of research that we're currently investigating. we don't have a clear cut answer to that question. and if we did, we would have a much more skillful prediction in the longer time scale, say, out

to one to two months. >> reporter: another mystery, whether all of this is connected to climate change or not, bill lapenta from the centers of environmentalle prediction says they're still trying to crack that code, trying to find out if climate change impacts that crazy weather. christi and victor. >> thanks, brian, so much. we're coming up on a new era in late night. >> i know. >> jimmy fallon is getting ready to take over the top late night show in america. and he's being paid a pretty penny to do it. coming up, the business of being jimmy fallon. ♪ so wake me up when it's all over when i'm wiser and i'm older ♪ the volkswagen passat against all comers. turbocharged engines against...engines. best in class rear legroom against other-class legroom. but then we realized. consumers already did that. twice.

not on the home shopping channel but on the weather channel. it hasn't shown up on youtube with a cat with a shark on board chasing a duck. or a cat swiping at a dog. but we digress. the remote-controlled snowplow lets you plow from inside your toasty warm house. it's six-wheel drive. runs for two hours on two car batteries. an air compressor lowers and raises the blade with a pneumatic his. charlie payne's company supertroid robots it with s.w.a.t. team for police and fire departments. showing the strength and feats like pushing around parrotts or even pulling a pickup truck. but meteorologists on the weather channel seem smitten. >> that is beyond, and i want

two car batteries, i said that's not cheap. >> neither is the $8,000. >> i thought, well, if you got $8,000 i guess you got the money for the batteries. >> kids don't go around with shovels anymore, 15, 20 bucks to shovel the driveway. you know, $8,000 paying a kid for four or five winters. >> there you go. hey, we're so glad you started your morning with us. >> next hour of your "new day" starts right now. association listen if you're in boston or new york and you're still digging out from this week's snow, we've got some news for you. it's about to get a whole lot worse. >> we're sorry to tell you. also, the jury is resuming in about just two hours in the deliberation of michael dunn. according to a late note friday

165,000 power customers, they're still in the dark. they're still waiting to get the lights back on. of course, that might be better than getting stuck in traffic. look at this 1 so-car pileup yesterday. it blocked one side of the pennsylvania turnpike near philadelphia and 17 people were injured. >> folks, who are not traveling by road but by planes they can expect the word "canceled" next to flights at the airport. more than 500 already canceled today. as cnn national correspondent susan candiotti explains a lot of travelers are running out of patience. >> reporter: as airlines work to clear cancellation and delay boards and get passengers back on the move this morning, madison wolf and her mother who have been stranded and sleeping at charlotte's airport hope to get to their final destination, the junior olympic competition in portland, oregon. >> it's very frustrating, i've been preparing for a long time. it's frustrating not to get there for this. >> reporter: their story was

repeated at airports. 6500 flights were canceled thursday. 1700 flights on friday. >> that's what was necessary because this storm was so broad. and impacted so many key cities, and so that's really why those numbers get so big. >> reporter: add to that, thousands of delays. >> our original flight was earlier this morning and was delayed and still is, apparently, but it won't let us get a ticket because our connecting flight out of the philadelphia is probably rescheduled. so we're in line to actually talk to an agent. >> reporter: from charlotte and newark hit with the most cancellations from philadelphia, new york and washington, d.c., airports are trying to get back to normal for the long holiday weekend. airlines are trying to catch up. some passengers are frustrated. >> we're trying get our flight rescheduled to atlanta which has been canceled like three or four times, you know. and, basically, we're going through helle trying to get another flight. >> reporter: while others are

taking the situation in stride. >> it is what it is, we prepared for the worse. the other flight, we'll be ready to go. >> susan joins us from laguardia. susan we saw madison and her mom were sleeping there at the airport. what are the airlines doing for the people stuck? >> reporter: well, you know, the days where they used to give you vouchers to stay at a hotel, get discounted rates, those are more rare than they ever have been before. the airlines are trying to head all of this off by giving you notice ahead of time that your flight is going to be delayed to give you the opportunity to reschedule. more often than not, they're waiving any change fees so that you avoid that. and if you can't make the flight at all, you should be able to get a refund. if you can't, don't take no for an answer, push it, push it, push it. victor i'm happy to say, and christi as well, a lot of people i'm running into this morning are on regularly scheduled flights, these people, i'm so

jealous of them, are going on vacation to mexico. some to the dominican republic. some on skis vacations. so there is an indication that things are getting a little bit better. but there are still people who are held up. we're going show you it's kind of busy out here. and inside you can see as well, people are getting in line early. the earlier you get to the airport, you get those earlier flights, the better off you will always be because things always tend to back up as the day goes on. we are hearing the latest is that the backups are concentrated mainly in newark, at dull lus and washington, d.c. and in charlotte. victor. >> as least they're not as widespread as yesterday and thursday. susan candiotti, thank you so much. >> victor knows that because he just got back from the beach himself. >> yeah, i just got back from costa rica. it was good time zblpg that's what it was. jennifer gray, it was good

timing. while you and i are here -- >> i know. i'm so jealous. so is everyone in the east coast because we are seeing another storm. the good news is it's not going to be as bad as it's last one. yes, we'll see snow, we'll see a couple inches but it's going to be nothing compared to what we saw a couple days ago. blizzard warning for the cape. the rest of us are seeing the winter storm warnings. winter weather advisories. the rain is starting to push into d.c. keyword -- rain. it's going to be mainly a rain event for you. we're going to be seeing the snow push into places like boston and new york city as we go through the next couple of hour yous. throughout the afternoon, we see the snow on the coast. it's going to be a quick-mover. this is going to move on out by the wee hours of tomorrow morning, ending in northern maine where we're going to see quite a bit of snow there. sfors snow totals go, new york city, boston, 3 tole 6 inches, boston the cape, 6 to 10, the guyest amounts in northern maine

with a foot of snow. >> jennifer, thank you so much. >> you know, snow is welcome, of course, in sochi at this point. and the u.s. speed skating team, we understand now they have gotten the go ahead to switch suits. remember, some of emare blaming the mach 39 suits for slowing them down. this is why, so far no american has finished better than seventh place. and the world leaders are on the u.s. team. >> now the maker under armour defends the suits saying the athletes tested them before the olympics. >> we actually had the first athletes skating in the suit in november. and just every step along the way, it's been overwhelmingly positive. oh, my god, the suit is so fast, get it off of me before any of our competition sees it. >> cnn's rachel nichols, host of "unguarded" is live in sochi. rachel, so the speed skaters got the clearance, but will they actually switch suits?

>> reporter: yeah, they have to do it as a team. not just individual skater can do on their own. so they had a vote and there was dissension the president of under armour said, some athletes really liked the new suit. but majority ruled and majority decided to switch back to the old suits. one of the american coaches met with the media, he said, although be, whether it is a design issue or whether it's just in their heads, it doesn't really matter. he said once the skater thinks he's faster in the old suit that's the one you got to put him in, because, really, they have to be comfortable when they're racing around here. the coach said, look, it could just be a mental thing, but even if it is, it's an important change. >> let me ask you this, what reason are they giving for believing the suit is the problem? >> reporter: well, there's a lot of different versions that they go into this new suit. but one of main issue is that there's venting in the back of the snur suit. the new suit has this venting to allow heat to escape.

it's actually supposed to make you faster. and some athletes think it does. but other athletes are say that's creating a little bit of drag. in that venting some air is getting caught up in it and creating that drag in races that are decided by hundredths of a second. so that venting is an issue. one of the top skaters in the world worried about her performance ahead of this event. her name is heather richardson, she actually had them sew in some extra material to try to stop in that venting before her race. that didn't work. she's number one in the world and yet she still placed seventh here. all kind of adjustments and tweaks. nothing has helped them. so they're just going to go back to the old suits, whether it is the swreventing or in their hea change is good. they're in danger as the worst u.s. skating team in 30 years,

guys. >> rachel nichols, i hope they can turn it around. >> speaking of turning it around, do you believe in miracles? that was the question from al michaels just two seconds before the u.s. men's hockey team beat the soviet union. you remember it? there was more at stake than a medal. >> our next guest knows that better than anyone. mike eruzione joins us live to take us back to that miracle on ice. you do not want to miss this so stay with us. for retirement. but when we start worrying about tomorrow, we miss out on what matters today. ♪ at axa, we offer advice and help you break down your retirement goals into small, manageable steps. because when you plan for tomorrow, it helps you live for today. can we help you take a small step?

five seconds left in the game! do you believe in miracles? yes! >> whoo! >> whoo! >> come on, i got chills all over my body right now watching that scene from the movie "miracle." you know you do, too. it's based on the true david and goliath story of the u.s. men's hockey team beating the soviet union in the winter olympics. they went on to win the gold. the cold war was at its height. america and the soviet union were two of the most formidable enemies in the world. and facing a series of international crises. a lot of americans -- i shouldn't say americans, a lot

of people saw the u.s. as the underdog. it became the miracle on ice. captain michael eruzione made the winning score for team usa. to the americans the final horn was the sign of good beating evil. democracy beating communism. i know, it sounds -- right. mr. michael eruzione joining us live from boston. good morning, my friend. thank you for getting up early. >> thank you, christi. not a problem. >> let me ask you, i just noticed this morning, the "new york post" had a head line that said russia can never avenge miracle on ice. it's basically saying, look, i don't care how many olympics there are, nothing will ever be be the same as this one, do you agree with that? >> yeah, i do agree with it. and partly because it's a whole different world that we live in now. we play russia, we don't play the soviets. there's not that rivalry between

the two countries from a political end. professionals play now versus the amateurs that we in 1980. i think the whole thing is very, very different from the players to just the scope of the game and what the game meant to a nation back in 1980 versus what it means today. >> here's the thing, we're about 20 minutes away from the puck dropping, again, between the u.s. and russia in sochi. you were in such an unique position as captain. if you had five minutes with today's team, what would you say to them? before this game, right now? >> well, i don't think they really want to listen to what i had to say. but if i had anything to say, just enjoy the moment. this is their team. our team is 34 years ago. create your own moment. have your own opportunity. it's a big game today but this is the first of many big games. they're going to have a lot more cals down the road. this is an important game to get your seeding in the right place as the tournament moves on. so i would just tell them to enjoy the moment, play hard, have fun.

and whatever happens is going to happen. >> let me read you something about what the gm said for team russia back in 2002. he says of russia, quote, they want to show everybody the country's great. thriving this has become like a former socialist/communist thing. all the tough jury reading, obama, edward snowden makes it seem like we're back in the '70s and '80s. are there political overtones, mike, in this game today, and as a player, do you feel that? >> you know, as a player, absolutely not. in 1980, we had no idea the country was watching. we were very surprised by the reaction after the games were over. and i think these players look at it the same way. they're not going to solve the world's problems. this is an opportunity for them to win a hockey game and move on in a tournament that's very important to them. how the country looks at it might be different. but as players, i think you want

to compete, you want to win. and you want to represent your country the right way and perform the best you can. but i don't think it's a political venue at all for the athletes. >> it's interesting because there have been so many columnists in the last couple weeks who have written about how hockey is all russia cares about. one had said if russia had won no other medal at the olympics, but they won gold in hockey, they would consider the olympics a success. somebody wrote for putin the olympics is a $50 billion hockey game. how much pressure, mike, is on the team for russia, for those players? >> oh, you know what, it's a ton of pressure. and actually too much pressure, i know tretiak the goalie in te became in 1980 said every game say gold medal game. it's hard enough to play in the olympic environment, let alone having that pressure on you.

it will be interesting to see what kind of pressure the players feel. when the whole country is making those kind of comments it's going to be hard. they're an awfully good team. they're not the favorite. >> everyone likes to use the word "miracle" when they talk about your team in the 1980s. do you think "miracle" is the accurate word? >> you know, it's kind of a nice catchy word. to me, i'm looked at miracles, you see the surgeries that doctors perform, and the first responders in 9/11, people like that, they're miracle people. they go out and save lives. we're a hockey team. it is nice to hear the word "miracle" to me it was a victory, a great upset a great moment. i use miracle in a different phrase than a hockey game. >> mike, i'm so glad you got up early for us and game in to talk to us.

i know you're watching today, but it's always good to get your perspective. go enjoy the game today. >> i will, christi. thank you very much. and, you know, like i said, it's a big game but there are going to be a lot bigger ones to come. >> good to know. good to see you, my friend. thank you. mike eruzione. >> take care. >> you too, thank you. in less than two hours, jurors in the loud music murder trial are set to resume deliberations. yes, they're still going at it, people. did a question that they asked the judge last night signal that they hit a wall? we have a live report for you on this coming up from jacksonville next. can i help you? hey, is it true we can get four lines, zblieming for gold. brought to you by at&t, rethink possible. for 160 a month? yep. at&t's new family pricing. that's 100 bucks cheaper than us. i know. are you guys with verizon?

good morning. it is 28 minutes past the hour right now. welcome back, i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. good to have you with us. five things you need to know for your new day. volkswagen employees who built the passat have spoken, they do not want a union at their chattanooga plant. three days of secret balloting endinging with almost 90% voting against the proposal that ended last night. the state republicans feared a union shop would drive business out of the state. number two, south carolina. yes, people. south carolina got shaken last night by a 4.1 magnitude earthquake. the epicenter was near the town of edgefield. no injuries or significant damage thankfully has been reported so far. number three, the second round of peace talks to try to end the syrian civil war has gone nowhere. syria's foreign minister expressed this, quote, deepest

apologies for the lack of progress. the two sides have been meeting in one room with a u.n. intermediary. and talks started last month. next month will mark the third year of the war which has killed more than 100,000 syrians. >> number four, president obama is going to ask congress to loan $1 billion in aid to jordan. the president pledged a loan guarantee to jordan's king's abdullah ii. the aid package would last for five years. number five now, if you're at the airport today, we feel for you. >> uh-huh. >> already, 500 flights canceled. >> ouch. >> hopefully, yours is not one of them but there could be more on the way because of the snow in the northeast. airlines are struggling to get everyone on their destination on this busy holiday weekend, if you count valentine's day as a holiday. >> a holiday? what did i miss?

>> most single people don't. on the ground, 165,000 homes still without power. a big improvement over the 400,000 out of power yesterday. >> i'm married, what does that mean for me? less talk about the miami dolphins. because they're in the spotlight again and it is not one they want to be in. more allegations of harassment here. i want to tell you about this new report. according to did, player richie incognito is not the only bully on the team. yesterday, the nfl released more than 140 pages from its investigation. >> the findings, multiple players used racial slurs, homophobic names and inappropriate touching let's bring in cnn's joe carter and nick valencia. joe, what else have we learned? >> a 148-page report. ted wells was hired by the nfl to investigate this the situation that was going on within the miami dolphins locker room. really reading through the report yesterday the findings are quite disgusting. the take-away, their workplace

environment is much different than our workplace environment. i've been in many nfl locker rooms, it's vulgar, racists, at times it's homophobic. they slow around slurs like game towels. it's commonplace. the findings are they crossed the line. it wasn't just one victim, three, two players and an assistant trainer. and they did it to the point where jonathan martin, sort of the face of this, felt that he not only had to leave the team, but he felt his life wasn't worth living not once but twice. he considered killing himself not once but two different times. it got that bad. coaches didn't know it apparently. the offensive line coach apparently did have some sort of idea what was going on. the head coach, the assistant coaches and general managers in the organization weren't aware of what was going on because jonathan martin never felt like he should report it. >> joe, luke at the report, part of the interesting point is the mental health issues in the report. jonathan martin saying he had

mental health issues going back to high school and he had a bipolar friendship with richie incognito. sometimes, they were on very good terms and sometimes, not so good terms. it seems from this report, the culture a locker room it's what you'd expect the culture of the locker room to be in the nfl. this is a brutal sport. these are gladiators so to speak. >> beyond the typical racism and homophobia. >> they would berate his sister. they were saying he wasn't black enough. there are offensive linemen, the coach, implicit in this bullying, he knew what was going on and culture and let it happen. >> we'll have to see what happens. >> the combination of a perfect storm. you're looking at somebody like richie incognito who they're calling the ring leader but there are two offensive linemen named as well, john jerry and mike pouncey. here you have the ultra alpha male. he had trouble in college, two

universities and in the nfl. you've got that alpha male who everybody has said say sensitive person. it's the combination of a perfect storm of two people going against each other. where at sometimes, jonathan martin felt like he had to join in that vulgar joking and he felt like he had to be accepted and it would lessen the harassment. >> wee want to move on to this other big story. darren sharper yesterday charged in the alleged drugging and raping of two women. and he's also being eyed for crimes three other states. joe what else do you know about this one? >> well, according to court papers as you said, charged with two rapes in california. under investigation for sexual assaults in arizona, nevada, louisiana. in california, according to the court papers in october 2012 he met a couple of women in a nightclub. all three of them went back to his hotel room. the women allege they were given a shot of something. they passed out, one woman woke up and believed she was raped. and other woman said she

interrupted daryn sharper's actions. we don't know what those were. now there are two other women who met him in the same club of january of this year. same exact pattern happened. they went back to his hotel room. they received a shot of something. they passed out. one believe shed was raped. >> because of that, the other cases that prosecutors found in other states that they're trying to get his bail increased to $10 million. like joe was saying, it's this pattern, meeting two women, takes him back to the hotel room, gives them something to drink and that's when the alleged sexual assaults occur. this is a serious thing for this nfl star. >> if convicted he's facing up to 30 years in prison. prosecutor is seeking two counts of rape by drug. >> i want you to stick around for one more we have. a bit lighter. 63rd annual nba all-star game in new orleans. the jazz for the conference

matchup, and tnt sports, barkley landed in an exclusive interview with president obama. >> it turned into a bit of a lovefest. >> little bit. >> watching lebron james play at the peak of his superpowers, it's an amazing debate. i never thought i would say somebody like -- this guy might be as good as michael jordan. >> you know lebron, i know lebron. when you're standing next to him and then you watch him close up i've never seen somebody that size, that fast who can jump that high, who's that strong, who has that much basketball savvy, all in one package. so we don't yet know where he's going to be. now, i'm a chicago guy, and mike will always be the guy for me. just because, you know, that was a magical moment for the city. and, you know, he was a champion. but, you know, mike's now

retired. lebron, when you look at him, you think he might be able to play at a high level for another seven, eight, ten years. he's 29 years old. in terms of every aspect of the game, lebron has a chance to be, you know, as good as anybody. >> that's probably the most relaxed i've seen the president in quite some time. >> well, charles barkley -- >> you know. >> they're talking sports. >> that's right. >> nothing against charles, he's talking sports. >> who wouldn't be comfortable around charles barkley. >> yeah. >> you can watch more of the exclusive interview during pregame coverage of the nba all-star game that starts tomorrow night 7:00 eastern on tnt. joe, nick. >> thank you, guys. still to come on "new day," actress ellen page holds back tears during i speech at the human rights campaign. what she said that triggered a standing ovation from that crowd. plus, a step towards marriage and equality in virginia. but same-sex couples who want to wed may want to wait a little

[ cheers and applause ] and because -- and because maybe i can make a difference. to help others have an easier and more hopeful time. regardless for me, i feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility. >> well, the 26-year-old actress said that she's speaking out now because she's tired of lying by omission. >> yeah, i know, it's -- it's -- i encourage you to go online and watch the whole thing because the whole speech is so compassionate. >> yeah. >> and it really gives a sense to people who wonder why they come out -- why they do come out. because authenticity, it's hard to stay there and get there especially in that world and hollywood, i'm sure. so cnn.com you can find the whole thing. >> so many people ask why come out, why make an announcement, why do a magazine cover? because there are people in places maybe not as liberal as hollywood or new york city who don't see people who are out and

happy with who they are. and to know it is okay to be exactly who you are and where you are. >> yes. it's an important message. and she really does put it in terms that i think will give you a new way to look at it. a new perspective. we encourage you, cnn.com. in fact, the legal victory as we continue on kind of this topic for same-sex couples in virginia here. a federal judge has struck down a law that bans gay marriage. >> virginia is just the latest state. new mexico, kentucky, oklahoma are all challenging laws between same-sex couples. joe johns has the latest on that virginia ruling. good morning, joe. >> reporter: victor and christi, the virginia ruling is only the latest challenge to state law restrictions on same-sex marriage. these cases are now in the federal appeals pipeline. and the question which one, if any, willnd up at the nation's highest court. >> in the sight of god -- >> reporter: the value to

virginia's same-sex marriage ban were brought by two men denied a marriage license. >> we are no different than anybody else out here. we just want the opportunity to be recognized the same way everyone else is. and to have the same benefits that married cubs have. now. >> reporter: and two virginia women whose marriage was formalized in california, but is not being recognized in the commonwealth. >> as parents, we want the best for our daughter. and we know that it would mean a lot to her if our family was treated just like every other family. we want that for all virginians. no matter who they are and who they love. >> reporter: the ruling by federal judge arenda wrig wright ellen, ellen writes, the declaration of independence declares that all men were created equal. surely, this means all of us. in kentucky, this week, a federal judge ruled the state

must recognize same-sex marriages legally performed in other states. 17 states recognize same-sex marriage. six other states that restrict it are in flux. including pennsylvania, ohio, utah, oklahoma, kentucky and virginia. in flux because of recent federal court rulings. or politicians who have refused to enforcing the restrictions. the newly sworn in governor and attorney general of virginia both democrats are among them. >> marriage say fundamental right protected by the unites constitution. >> reporter: it's an issue most likely to be decided right here at the unites supreme court. the virginia is in focus because the case for marriage equality was argued by two american superlawyers, ted olson and david boies. their opponents say the courts are overstepping their bounds. >> there is not a due process or equal protection right to redefine the very nature of what marriage is.

marriage is the union of a man and a woman. >> reporter: opponents of same-sex marriage are fighting back, even pushing laws to protect those who object to making wedding cakes for gay couples. state lawmakers in kansas have drafted a bill that would protect people who refuse goods and services to same-sex couples. but as far as the legal issues that have a chance of being heard by the supreme court anytime soon, this week's virginia case stands out, if only because of history. it was an appeal of a virginia case in the 1960s that led the court to declare interracial marriage the law of the land. victor and christi. >> joe johns in washington. we'll expand this conversation throughout the morning with two political commentators. >> still to come on "new day" -- a mega merger could usher in a new era in cable tv. >> here's the question, are you the consumer the one who is goating to get short-changed? we'll talk about that in a moment.

♪ beautiful day and i can't stop myself from smiling ♪ >> good morning, new orleans. on the corner of bourbon street and st. peter's street. people were there a couple of hours ago and they thought it is time to get to bed. >> they just went to sleep at 5:00. >> nice day. sunny and high of 57 degrees. sounds lovely. what happens when the biggest cable company in the u.s. buys the second biggest cable company in the u.s.? >> it happened this week. comcast announced to buy time warner cable for $45 billion. if it is approved by the federal

government, it would be a massive cable giant serving one out of every three homes. >> you are sitting at home and wondering what does this mean for me, the customer, and are there any political implications. i spoke with the world affairs correspondent with the miami herald. she is helping us understand this. she had fascinating points. listen to this. >> it is really hard to argue this is good for consumers. i think consumers have seen the trends in the united states. prices are getting higher. choices are diminishing. no way to argue having fewer companies with the biggest and second biggest cable companies joining is goes to make that any better. >> you wrote a great op-ed for cnn.com. americans should resent politicians who made this possible. >> in the united states, people hate their cable company. they hate their internet

company. they hate their phone company. very often the three are the same. the companies have earned that sentiment. customer service is notoriously terrible. we need to look a bit beyond what the companies are doing and why this is happening. we have a political system that has permitted this state of affairs not just to develop to the place it is now, but continue moving in the wrong direction of fewer choices and very bad service, very bad quality service and prices that are really absurd when you compare them to the rest of the world. >> what is the solution? can government do something about it or are we edging in on the capitalistic premise we're founded on? >> we have made certain adjustments on the capitalistic system for the benefit of the country. the united states decided it wanted everybody to have telephones. the united states decided it wanted roads everywhere.

there have been decisions that have been made to nudge the free-market system in the certain direction. the united states needs to have a high-speed fiber optic network. the united states is falling behind the rest of the industrialed world. it has a study of the forum of the competitiveness ranked 35 in the world in brand broadband band width. that is dangerous for the future. >> why aren't we further along in that capacity? >> because there has been a reluctance to get involved. these companies are making a lot of money from preserving the system the way it is. politicians that get lobbied or campaign contributions, they don't want to take on the massive companies.

the united states needs a policy of improving the internet network and improving the infrastructure of the internet in the country. >> let me ask you this, that sounds a very expensive proposal. who does that come from? the companies or the government or collaboration of both? >> a lot of different options. a lot of methods have been tried in other countries. it is expensive, but it can be very profitable. there are some cities that have taken on the challenge and what they can do is develop the fiber internet and fiber network and sell to consumers and allow the providers to market it and take a profit from doing the marketing and cities are actually making a profit for their taxpayers by doing this. at the same time, bringing the quality of service much higher. >> okay. frida went on to say this is not

an issue for the mid-term electio elections, but it should be. thank you to her. >> we will see the surveys where people are unfortunately unhappy with the cable companies. we will see and we'll be right back. ♪ it's a new day ♪ fruit chews. try new alka seltzer they work fast on heartburn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya! i'm feeling better already.

maine, guys. it's never going to end. guys. >> thanks, jennifer gray. the weather is not doing travelers any good. almost 500 flights canceled already today. >> we feel for you if you are watching us in the airport right now. we believe that 500 number could go up because we know airlines are struggling to get people to their destinations. we have cnn correspondent susan candiotti at laguardia for us. how are they doing this morning? good morning. >> reporter: good morning, christi. of course, they have 8,000 flights canceled over the past few days. slowly but surely the airlines are trying to alleviate that backlog. it is a busy morning at laguardia airport much like it has been across the couple tntr. as airlines work to get

passengers back on the move this morning, madison and her mother stranded at charlotte's airport, hope to get to the final destinati destination. the junior olympic competition in portland, oregon. >> i have been preparing for a long time. it is frustrating. >> reporter: their story was repeated at airports all along the east coast this week. more than 6,500 flights canceled thursday and more than 1,700 flights on friday. >> that was necessary because this storm was so broad and impacted so many key cities. that is why those numbers get so big. >> reporter: add to that, thousands of delays. >> our original flight was early this morning and was delayed. they won't let us get a ticket because the connecting flight in philadelphia has to be rescheduled. >> reporter: from charlotte and newark with the most cancellations, to philadelphia, new york and washington, d.c.,

airports are trying to get back to normal for the long holiday weekend and airlines are trying to catch up. some passengers are frustrated. >> we are trying to get rescheduled to atlanta which has been canceled three or four times. and basically we are going through hell to get another flight. >> reporter: others are taking the situation in stride. >> it is what it is. we prepared for the worst. we have a flight. we'll be ready to go. >> reporter: and christi, if you are one of the lucky ones whose flight hasn't been canceled, the o'briens are going to? >> miami. >> reporter: sunny miami. are you happy that you got on an early flight so you could get out? >> we are really happy. >> reporter: what do you think about what is happening? >> it is terrible. i got delayed a couple weeks back in san francisco. i had to stay overnight. we have a lot of friends who have been delayed for days. it is a terrible situation.

>> reporter: i'm glad you are going to make your flight now. just check out, follow me here in a second. we also have a lot of action going on inside, too, where people are following up to check in. if we can make it down here to the board, you will see that as you look at the flight schedule, here at laguardia, they look to be in very good shape. all those flights on time. we only saw one or two flights to miami, as a matter of fact, where they are canceled. the idea is to get here early and check with the airline before you head out. christi. >> susan, thank you. i love how they take the camera in places and people realize there is a camera and they back up. i don't want to get in this shot. day eight of the olympic games and the u.s. speed skaters is official. they are switching suits making

count, america is doing well with the overall medal count. team usa and norway tied for 13 total medals. netherlands and russia with 12 each and germany has won the most gold with seven. the next story is a spoiler alert. for those that do not want to know that do not want to know what happened this morning. american skiers. they missed the podium in the women's super-g. the strongest hope for medal was julia mancuso. she finished eighth. two australian skiers took the gold. it is a frustrating time for the team usa skiers. one medal for sochi as opposed to vancouver. and this morning, japan's figure

skater won gold. the 19-year-old fell twice in his skate routine. he had such a huge lead going into this, that he set a world record in the short program. that did it for him. as a result, he is the youngest skater in 66 years to take gold in men's figure skating. the ice dance competition, basically pairs without jumping, that will go on today and tomorrow. one of the most premiere events is the ladies figure skating on wednesday. team usa and team russia, knotted at 0-0 in hockey at the end of the first period. >> joe carter, thank you. still to come on "new day" the jury is continuing to deliberate at 9:00 this morning. have they already sent the message they are deadlocked? and cnn's chief medical

welcome back. we're just about 45 minutes away from the return of the jury in the loud music murder trial. michael dunn faces life in prison if he is convicted of murdering 17-year-old jordan davis in 2012 in a gas station. the jurors will pick up in the wake of the question they asked. a question some are describing as a bombshell, maybe? the judge read it aloud. listen. >> is it possible to reach a verdict on one count and not reach a verdict on other counts. the answer to that is yes. >> joining me now is defense attorney and former prosecutor tanya miller. what is this question, first, welcome. >> thank you. >> what is this question tell us

about where they are potentially? >> potentially. the key word is potentially. potentially there is a split back there. it could be 11-1 or 6-6. we don't know that yet. it seems they want to know, if we reached a verdict on some of the counts, but struggling with another, what can we do? do we have to keep going? what are our options? that could signal a hung jury at least with one count. >> some might consider maybe they made a decision about the attempted murder charges, but hung on the murder charge. first-degree murder charge. on a friday, if a jury has gotten the answer that, yes, you can be hung on one and come up with a verdict on the others, why not just deliver it on a friday and go home for the weekend? >> that is the thing that i was thinking. we were just talking about this off the air. listen, when juries have been deliberating for a substantial period of time in a case like this for the number of days they tried this, this is a substantial period of time. they want to reach that verdict

by friday and be done. it is valentine's day. they are sequestered. the fact they are coming back on saturday tells me they think there is a hope that they can bring this one person around or they are so close to reaching a verdict, they want to give it another shot or, you know, they just don't want to let go yet. it could be one person holding on. it could be a big split. we just don't know. they haven't given up. >> they made other requests. they want that dummy used during the testimony and more of the surveillance tape that was shown. what could they be doing with that? >> the surveillance video is interesting because it did not depict the parking lot. it depicted the sound of the bullets. i suspect, and i could be wrong, i suspect they are going through what michael dunn happened and going through what the witnesses said happen and figure out what the gunshots went and was it a

pop, pop, long pause and more shots or sequence and happened quickly. that could be important to them in weighing the claim to self defense was credible. looking at the dummy with the dowels with the trajectory of the bullets, they are trying to figure out if dunn's version is credible. was he turning away? was he coming toward? it is a way for them to look at the testimony to try to figure out what actually happened. >> there are comparisons made to this trial and the zimmerman trial. a male who was shooting a teenager who dunn says jordan had a gun. the police never found one. first, is that comparison between these two men, is that comparison fair and accurate and also what are we learning or

glean from their deliberations in the dunn trial as opposed to the zimmerman? >> i think it is fair. when you look at the objective facts of the case, you have a 17-year-old african-american male in each case. they both had the right to do what they wanted to do. one walking home with skittles and one at a gas station getting gum. white males, armed and perceived the kids as threats and shot and killed the kids in self defense and they are being tried in florida. those are things that obviously make these two cases appear to be similar. i think that the zimmerman case, if you are talking about self defense, would have been a case that you would have deliberated longer on because you didn't have a witness who could tell you, like you do in the dunn case, what happened from start to finish. the dunn case is not even close. the fact they are deliberating

this long, it might not be they are thinking self defense is appropriate. it could be they are just trying to figure out second degree versus first degree versus manslaughter. >> tanya, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> christi. thank you both. miami dolphins not good news for them this morning. months after the team made headlines for harassment in the locker room, now a new report claims that richie incognito is not the only one to blame. plus, a plan to unionize the volkswagen plant in tennessee hits a speed bump. we will have the details next. 15 days, but not in a row. for the first time, you can use nicorette... even if you slip up... so you can reach your goal.

bottom of the hour right now. i hope the saturday has been good to you. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. here are five things you need to know for your "new day." first, it could be a frustrating day for travelers. more than 500 flights are canceled today after thousands of flights grounded this week.

a new storm an bearing down on the northeast. tens of thousands of homes in the east have their lights back on, that's good, but another 165,000 customers are without power. number two, the volkswagen plant in chattanooga, tennessee, will remain without a union. employees voted against the plan presented by the uaw. the uaw faced fierce resistance who feared the businesses would take their jobs out of tennessee. number three, california authorities have seized 2,000 pounds of illegal shark fins. 42-year-old michael wong was selling the fins out of his business in san francisco. the case was turned over to the district attorney. number four, retired nfl player darren sharper facing multiple rape charges in southern california this morning. he is under investigation for sexual assaults in three other states.

los angeles county prosecutors charged the 38-year-old yesterday with drugging and attacking two women he allegedly met at a west hollywood nightclub. investigators are looking into claims he raped five other women in arizona and las vegas and new orleans. and number five, ellen page makes a revelation she is gay. the star of "juno" made the announcement yesterday at a human rights speech. >> i am here today because i am gay and because -- [ applause ] >> the 26-year-old actress says she is speaking out now because she's tired of lying by omission. you know, it could be a matter of time now before same-sex couples can marry legally in virginia after a federal judge struck down the

ban as unconstitutional. pending any appeals, virginia could be next in line to legalize gay marriage. after the supreme court ruling in favor of same-sex couples in june, we have seen dozens of suits on the ban on same-sex marriage. in kentucky, a judge ordered the state to recognize same-sex marriages performed legally in other states. in nevada, the attorney general and governor announced they no longer defend the ban on same-sex marriage. and go to texas. a federal judge heard arguments in the case challenging that state's ban. one state is trying to buck the trend. kansas. it is on the brink of passing a law that would allow, listen to this, certain businesses to refuse service to same-sex couples. it is called hb-2453. it would protect anyone who refuses to serve a gay couple.

i want to bring in the executive director for kansas family policy tom witt and john nolan. we invited several lawmakers on this show, none of them wanted to come on. rob, you are a supporter of this bill. when we hear this, doesn't this legalize discrimination in the eyes of the law? >> no, i think what we have to look at is the reasoning for this bill to be considered as the fact that there have been lawsuits in other states where individual business owners, sincerely held religious beliefs, have been declined to services in relation to the homosexual weddings. the bill is very narrowly crafted to specifically

categorize these as wedding-related businesses in performance of a homosexual marriage. >> if a same-sex couple goes in for a restaurant to have dinner, no one can refuse them service based on this law? >> no. this is crafted to deal with the homosexual marriage industry. we know the story you just did on some of the states where the court challenges are happening. it is possible the tenth circuit or supreme court could vacate marriage amendments across the country. we think these are important at this time before that happens. we are not advocating anyone have separate facilities or water fountains like we had in the past. this is specifically for business owners with religious beliefs in relation to marriage. >> i want to say we wanted to see if sam brownback wanted to come on the show.

he declined. he said, quote, americans have constitutional rights, among them the right to exercise their religious beliefs and the right for every human life to be treated with respect and dignity. let's say a couple goes somewhere and they are talking in an environment about a wedding. we'll go to that. they are refused service. how is there any dignity in that? does this cross the line to protect religious freedoms? >> there is no dignity in refusing service to gay and lesbian couples. bob is sadly misrespecting this bill. and susan wagel agrees with our bill. it puts busineses in the position of not being able to control their policies. worst of all, it allows government officials to refuse to provide taxpayer services to

gay and lesbian kansans. this bill is so broad and encompassing that even the conservative senate has taken a look at this and said this bill is going nowhere this session. >> i would say, what are the chances this thing is going to pass then, tom? >> well, if senate president wagel says she will not let it on the floor of the senate, it is a slim chance it will have any passage. >> let me ask you something, robert, what brought it to this point? are we to understand that people are allowed to have their own religious beliefs and do what they want. what happened where you have to craft a law to protect them? >> sure. it is an argued question. this is what i alluded to at the beginning of the interview. there are lawsuits in states where marriage amendments in

place. colorado and oregon state where people have religious beliefs and have been targeted by lawsuits. i want to address something that tom mentioned. the protections for employers and employees in the bill are exactly the same thing that already exist in federal law. title vii includes the area protected in religious beliefs. this already exists on the federal level regarding the law in kansas. there is no change regarding what an employee can and cannot do in the workplace. >> go ahead. >> robert, kansas chamber of commerce and senate president wagel disagree with you. you know, one thing i would like to address here, this bill has nothing to do with cakes. it doesn't have anything to do with wedding pictures. under kansas law, discrimination

against gay and lesbian couples is already legal. the states that robert is referencing, those students were brought under the non discrimination laws that include sexual orientation. kansas law doesn't protect sexual orientation. if it is ruled that gay marriage is legal in kansas, all that happens is gay people get married. there will not be suits over wedding cakes or suits over wedding pictures or suits overflow overflowove over flowers. this bill is misrepresented. the point of the bill entirely is to allow government officials to deny serving tax paying gay and lesbian kansans. >> gentlemen, we have run out of time. thank you for taking the time to talk with us. thank you so much. victor. so this weather this winter has really physically taken its toll on people, but what about your mental health?

okay. this one is a head scratcher for people. when the president of paypal, yes, paypal, the company that touts the safer and easier way to pay announced his own credit card had been hacked. >> david marcus said his information got skimmed from a hidden device attached to an atm or merchant's machine. it is a scam we are all vulnerable. >> what is really scary is marcus' credit card was equipped with the chip and pin technology. the so-called future of credit cards. this technology is supposed to be a fraud deterrent. the question is why didn't it work? >> joining to us give us answers, security expert and former fbi crime chief scott larsen. scott, let's start with the pin and chip technology. the technical name is emv.

it is used in europe and other parts of the world. soon to come to the u.s., right? >> yes, in october of 2015. today, we have a few cards in existence. >> okay, this is an encrypted chip as i understand it. it sounds safe and secure. what are the vulnerabilities of the technology? >> it does have an encrypted information on the traditional credit card on a magnetic stripe and can be easily counterfeited. the chip is encrypted and better technology. in the u.s., we are using the chip and signature instead of chip and pin. it is still the same to the consumer. it is a little more secure where it cannot be counterfeited as easily. >> so the president of paypal, david marcus, is using this experience to talk about how paypal can help the world do business. could people start using paypal

in stores? >> sure. paypal has a point of sale application. they are widely used out on the web. paypal doesn't use their credit card in each transaction. it is like you with online banking. >> you said something that i thought was interesting. you said right now, we have that strip and we have our signature. what good is our signature at this point, really? do people check it? >> that is on a case by case basis. we swipe it and nobody really looks at it. they are handing us the receipt and saying good-bye. it is a convenience to the consumer we see. >> so our signature is not protecting us at all right now? >> not at all. >> scott, you know, after we talked about target and neiman marcus and those hacks and now we talked about the head of

paypal and his information skimmed. the overridding question is simple. what is safe? >> what is safe? when we use our credit card, we have some risk. the whole credit card electronic payment is about risk. anybody can be hacked. unfortunately with the current technology from the criminals, it is cyber olympics. they have the advantage if they get into a big database like target's database. usually you will be safe. we all know people. somebody may have been a victim of identity theft or credit card theft. by and large, people don't experience credit card fraud. it is a cost of doing business. it is part of the consumer in america. we like that convenience. >> all right. you know, scott larson, we

appreciate your perspective. thank you for taking the time to be with us this morning. >> all right. thank you. still to come on "new day," this is an amazing stunt. the most impressive part of this is the finish. this is just giving you a hint. you have to see the rest of it. stay with us. what you wear to bed is your business. so, if you're sleeping in your contact lenses, ask about the air optix® contacts so breathable they're approved for up to 30 nights of continuous wear. ask your doctor about safety information as serious eye problems may occur. visit airoptix.com for a free one-month trial.

gas station in 2012. >> let's talk with orlando amara. >> great to be here. >> before jurors adjourned yesterday, this is interesting. jurors asked the judge if it was possible to reach a verdict on some counts, but not others. he said yes. first of all, from an attorney standpoint, what does that tell you about the thinking? >> you know, the obvious thing is they decided on the counts. it may be lesser counts. they are having a difficult time with one of the counts. if there is one count, it seems as though the primary count, first-degree murder, they may wonder about self defense as to defense to first-degree murder. maybe thinking first-degree murder or second-degree murder. it is always, i call it, a false folly to see what they are thinking. it is like watching an oven

bake. to think they are deciding on one or more and the self defense issue maybe to the defense of the first-degree murder case and a question of any defense to shooting the second and third round of fire. >> mark, you waited in the court rooms for juries to come back. most people know in the zimmerman trial, we know they work late into the evening yesterday. back to work supposed to start at 9:00 this morning. does that mean they are close to a verdict when they worked so late in the evening, especially after that question? are you expecting to hear something before noon? >> you know, i want to say yes, because obviously they are getting to the point where they are focused on one or two counts where they cannot come to agreement. understand that a jury is a very organic entity at this point. you want to be very careful pushing them beyond their comfort zone as far as talking and interact properly. you don't want them to get so tired that they start separating

and going to opposite sends of the sand box because that can lead to a hung jury. then they have to try this again. >> that is what i want to ask. the judge gave them clearance. if they come out and they decide on some, and let's say it is guilty hypothetically. if the fact they could not decide on some counts favor the defense in an appeal in any way? >> here is the way it goes. they have to come out with a final decision. they cannot come in and say guilty like you say on counts two, three and four. once they are fully deliberating, we are hung up. those are the counts and they can be retried by the state. the appeal for the other counts can go forward, but decide to have a new trial on the counts they could not decide upon.

that might mean a second trial on those counts. >> i wondered if those counts could be thrown out or favored in an appeal. >> they come back. i will say it favors the defense to a certain extent. if they cannot prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt to one jury, that could impact a future jury. you figure they put on the best case now. they work out on the counts they were hung up on. >> we received word that the jury is not yet in the courtroom, but the judge is en route. cnn legal analyst, mark o'mara. >> thank you. just when you thought it was safe to step outside. just this close, people. >> you will see your shadow. much like punxsutawney. another storm is expected to hit the northeast today and we are barely finished digging out from

totals. 2 to 4 inches around new york city and around the boston area, 6 to 10 inches of snow. in northern maine, that will really get it. we could see a foot of snow for you. temperature wise, we are going to stay cold, guys. temperatures in the 30s. dropping to the 20s monday morning in new york city. a very different story in the south. this is good news. we are finally warming up. atlanta, you are going to be 64 degrees on monday. how about that? >> people were literally raising the roof here in the studio. i have not seen any one do that in a few years, but apparently, it's warranted. >> our team is happy. >> it is the little things, guys. >> when the team is happy, everybody is happy. thank you, jennifer. the storm is quick, but that is cold, cold comfort for travelers. you saw the guy with his head in his lap.

p.m. >> reporter: did that cost you money with the flights canceled or delayed? >> no additional money. just time and headache. >> reporter: that is just as equally troubling. today, what does it look like? >> so far, so good. everything is on time. i hope to get back in to california about 5:30. >> reporter: only possible hitch, you have to change planes in chicago. >> and there's snow. right now, everything is saying it is on time. we will pray for the best and hope everything is on time. >> reporter: isn't that the truth? thank you very much. everyone has their fingers crossed. as you heard gina say it, so far, so good. christi. >> thank you, susan. when it comes to the olympics, you know things move fast, right? they move quickly. in the last hour, a new nation now leads in the medal count. >> how the heck did that happen? >> and is it the u.s.? >> and i want to thank our twitter folks apprised of the
