returned a partial verdict. >> mr. dunn, you having been convicted of counts two, three and four by a jury. >> reporter: guilty on four counts, including three of attempted second degree murder in the 2012 shooting outside a jacksonville gas station that killed 17-year-old jordan davis. but on the murder charge, no verdict. >> based on the jury's inability to reach a verdict on count one, i would declare that mistried. >> reporter: vowed to keep fighting. >> we will continue to stand and we will continue to wait for justice for jordan. >> i feel michael dunn has a minimum of 20 years and another 20 years on another count so he's going to learn that he must be remorseful for the killing of my son, that it was not just another day at the office. >> reporter: during the trial,

has said that she has every intention to retry that first degree murder charge. victor and christi? >> thank you. now, if that mixed result of the guilty verdict on three counts of second degree and mistry on the first degree result in dunn trial, disappointed some people in the courtroom. the expert observers seemed unsatisfied, too. listen. >> what i find so appalling is that they could not reach a verdict as to the first count, which is first degree murder. >> i think that the defense clearly raised sufficient reasonable doubt as it related to the justifiable use of force. >> yes, i'm happy dunn's going away. he's going away and it's a life sentence, but, still, that count one is just hanging there in the air. >> angela cory, with all due respect, in deep denial.

>> when she said they put on everything they did, no, they didn't. >> he's going to die in prison, mission accomplished. i don't know what trying the case will do. >> if the roles were reversed and a black youth gunned down a 45-year-old white software creator that was unarmed. we wouldn't even be talking. it would be over. >> let's not be embarrassed that we all have issues with race. let's talk about it and come together on this. >> now defense attorney jose baez one of the voices you heard there. he's joining us live in the next hour to talk more about the dunn case and where we go from here. all right, let's go to sochi where the u.s. now leads the race for the most olympic medals on day nine of the winter games. >> if you're not ready to find out how team usa got its edge,

"is there a hope you will not tie sports with politics?

is there that hope? i think there is." it was basically his way of saying, i don't want to talk about it. well, senior international correspondent nick payton walsh is in sochi and let's put the question back here to mr. putin. can he separate politics from the winter games? >> well, i think in many ways those might say that he's actually introduced it in some ways. the olympic charter says there should be no discrimination against individuals. now, before the games started he said homosexuals are welcome here as long as and he did in the last few days say that he hopes towards the cold war would no longer be influenced by cold war ideal. suggesting old tension from decades ago persists. so much of the leadp has been characterized in a global, political context. this has been about vladimir

putin and returning russia to its soviet glory. political for him. and he would enjoy the games and enjoy the spectacle ahead of them but the decision to introduce that anti-gay legislation and allow it to persist throughout the time the olympics run. there was a specific piece of legislation preventing the adoption of children by same-sex couples. just in the last few days while the games were happening here, politics is always there. it's always about the home country, what kind of condition it's in when it hosts the games and it being on very much show at that particular moment and his comments more about frustration than anything else. victor? >> nick paton walsh in sochi. few days left in the winter games this year. still to come on "new day" buried under mounds of snow. can new englanders dig out? we have something coming. we'll take a look at it. i'm beth... and i'm michelle. and we own the paper cottage. it's a stationery and gifts store.

at least 14 others were injured. witnesses say the wave was so big, it smashed the windows of a restaurant three quarters up the way of the ship. and number four, take a look at this. 17 feet 8 inches long and 150 pounds and it's one enormous snake that is now in the record books. it's the second largest python ever caught and killed in florida. wildlife experts say she was about 15 years old when she was shot by bobby hill who apparently kills pythons for a living. i don't know how you get that job. that snake now on the university of florida to be studied. number five now, 60 years in prison. that's the anticipated sentence for the florida man convicted yesterday in the so-called loud music murder trial. michael dunn was found guilty of three counts of attempted second degree murder, but jurors deadlocked on the sole count of murder. prosecutors say they will try dunn again for the first degree

murder count. >> for more on that exclusive trial and really the unfinished business of it now, we want to turn to cnn legal analyst paul callan, thank you so much for being with us. >> good morning, christi. >> out of the gate, give us your -- are you surprised? >> surprised, shocked, stunned. i prosecuted murder cases and i've defended murder cases. this was a very weak defense that was put up on the board and the fact that a jury bought into it or at least that some jurors bought into this self-defense claim is really shocking to me and i think a lot of other observers of the trial. >> paul, here's what i don't understand, maybe you can reconcile these for me and this is what we're seeing on social media, as well. how is it possible that the jury convicted michael dunn of attempted second degree murder of the three he did not kill, but did not convict him of murder on the one person he did actually kill. >> i think people are going to have a lot of trouble understanding how that can be.

here's my theory, there were two sets of shots that were fired. the first set of shots that were fired were about probably four, pop, pop, pop sounds that you hear in a videotape that was taken from the interior of the convenience store. those were the shots presumably that killed jordan davis. the jury probably hung on the issue of whether he was firing those shots in self-defense or at least in a belief that jordan davis had a gun and it threatened him. the jury hung on that. however, after the suv that had the kids in it started to pull away. remember, three other kids other than jordan davis in the suv. he continues to fire. fires five more shots at the fleeing vehicle. i believe the jury found him guilty of the second volley of shots. finding that he was attempting to kill the other three occupants of the vehicle and that's why he you have what on

the surface appears to be a strange verdict, but it actually is logical on this fact pattern. >> okay, so, angela corey the state attorney is vowing to press forward for a new trial for this count one. being the fact that it's costly, for one. secondly, dunn's already going away for 60 years, it's expected. i'm sure some questions about an impartial jury and if they're able to find one. is it likely, do you think, that she will secure another trial? >> you know, i was surprised last night when she made that announcement that she would retry the case immediately. most of the time prosecutors will say, you know, we're going to have a look at the case and we'll make a determination about it to give themselves an opportunity to reflect and also to let public passions calm down a little bit. he's looking at 60 years in prison and i'll tell you something, he might be looking at 75 years in prison. there's a 15-year count

involving firing bullets into a vehicle that could lead to additional jailtime. so, if he winds up with 60 or 75 years in jail from a pragmatic standpoint, on the other hand if you're the parents of jordan davis and you believe, as well you should, your son's reputation has been by this defense-defense claim the family wants a retrial and that's something that a prosecutor has to consider carefully. hopefully she'll look carefully at the pluses and minuses of doing a retrial. >> we heard from the parents of jordan davis yesterday. we'll hear more from them, his mother saying that she will pray for mr. dunn. >> she's remarkable. just remarkable. >> we'll hear more about that. paul, callan, thank you for helping us unpack all of this. >> always nice being with you, victor. coming up on "new day" one

and you can imagine how shocked that such a hero could do such a thing. so, we know that he did kill her. the question is, was it premeditated as a murder or was it manslaughter. >> you spoke with reeva's agent and what did she tell you? >> she speaks about what an incredible person reeva was. she was so focused. remember she was only dating oscar since october. hadn't been a long romance and she wonders what the panic, what the fear, what was going on in her mind in those last minutes of her life. now, remember, she went to the bathroom with her cell phone which some people tell me is not unusual, but what is unusual is that oscar seems to have forgotten the code to his iphone. so, what has happened in the last few weeks is that the prosecution has solicited the help of the fbi to get apple to get access to the encrypted data. so, that's going on as we speak.

they don't have it as yet. the prosecution is hoping that by march 3rd when the trial actually happens that they do have this encrypted data. again, it's going to rely on ballistics, the angle of the bullet, did he have his prosthetics on. did he know if he had them on and the bullet would have been upwards, if he did have them on, it would have been downward. witnesses. some witnesses are coming forward are his previous girlfriends people who say they saw oscar involved in very violent activity. shooting a gun outside a restaurant and shooting a gun through the sunroof of a car. and another thing that happened this week is oscar just settled with another woman. he punched through a door, the door fell on her leg and he just settled that in 2009. so, clearly, a very volatile man and south africans very divided. he has very strong prosecution,

very strong defense. but either way, oscar pistorius and the steenkamp family's lives were forever changed a year ago. >> nadia bilchek, thank you. ice skating, as you know, has really taking center stage as it usually does at the sochi olympics. but here in the u.s. did you know girls from holland, new york, are just as passionate. >> indeed. one woman is helping them to break barriers on and off the ice. meet our first cnn hero of 2014, she's sharon cohen. >> i love the crispy feeling of the air. the sound of my ice skating on the ice-skating relieves me from everything. i just want to fly, i don't want to stop. >> i heard that there were some girls that wanted to figure skate in harlem. growing up i was a wumpetitive

that is enough so far as the british academy film of television is concerned. it is, therefore, a british movie in some parts and it's leading the way. if i were a betting woman, i'm not, of course, but if are were, i would say that "12 years a slave" will cleanup tonight. this is stuffed with british talent, even though, of course, it is about an american story. it's up for best film, best actor and, indeed, best director in steve mcqueen. as i say, if it does sweep the boards tonight t will be deserving of that. also as you suggests, "american hustle" with christian bale. two conartists that get entangled with the fbi. that has ten nominations so that equals that of "12 years a slave." for best film and also nominated in all the best acting categories, which means if i am lucky tonight on the red carpet i should sweep up christian bale

>> joining us from clarkeville, tennessee. good morning, heidi, how are you? >> good, how are you? >> good. i have to tell you, you are one brave woman because i'd love to see mars, right, but i don't know that i'd be willing, essentially, to give up my life for it. which is what you're doing. what do your family and friends think of this? >> my family and friends are very supportive. this is a dream, like you said, i had for a very long time and they understand the sacrifices i'm going to make. they knew that one day this might possibly come up, they didn't realize it would happen so soon. neither did i. very supportive and just very excited to be part of this, just like i am. >> this mission, if you're selected, one, you're going forever. you're just going to leave earth and you'll be on mars. but you've got several years before you leave earth to go to mars. what if something happens in the next 11 years you marry and have kids and you find a career you

want to dive into here on earth. >> well, part of this process is actually training. so, by the end of 2015, they're going to select the first 24 to 48 candidates and those people are going to become full-time employees at mars one. they're going to begin their training phase to prepare for this mission. so, we're going to be fully emersed with each other and figuring out who our crews are going to be. we're going to create our own family that will then extend on to mars. i'm not that worried about the next ten years because a very exciting time in my life. i'll be learning how to live out my dream. so, by creating that new family, i think i'll be self-fulfilled enough to continue on with my mission. >> so, what, you know, we look at people on earth and we get bored here and what exactly will you do there? >> right now the main mission is going to be science. there's a lot of science that we could do on the surface that robots can't do. so, by going outside the habitat

three times a week, we can find answers to the questions that we've always been wondering. questions that we have spent billions of dollars sending robots to the surface. robots that can only go 13 miles at one time. so, by sending humans, we'll be able to go and explore and be able to find new things. a lot of the things i do here on earth. i'm an avid hiker and backpacker. >> heidi, i only have a couple seconds left. i want to ask you something. some scientists have gone on record saying the gravity and exposure on mars preclude the possibility of permanent or even extended human habitation. how long do you expect to be able to live there? >> well, according to the data that was collected by the mars science laboratory as it was traveling to mars with the meter that was onboard, we have the radiation limits wi s within

acceptable limits. so, radiation is a big, major factor, but it's something we won't know the answers to until we actually send people there. >> all right. >> heidi beam emer, all the mor power to you. she has not been chosen yet, we should point out. the next hour of "new day sunday" starts right now. >> the people united will never be defeated. an emotionally charged case ends with a controversial verdict after 30 hours of deliberation. the jury in the michael dunn trial reaches its decision. just not the one that was most serious of those charges. murder. >> there was no winners. everybody lost something in this. >> we intend to retry him, retry michael dunn on first degree murder. >> retrial or not, michael dunn is headed to prison, possibly

for the rest of his life and for the parents of jordan davis, some sort of closure and a vow to continue the fight for their son. >> i'm remorseful for the killing of my son that it was not just another day at the office. good morning, everybody. we're so glad to have your company, i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. this is "new day sunday." this is what a lot of people were talking about. the prison? yes. closure? maybe. but deadlock on the most serious count facing michael dunn means the so-called loud music murder trial is apparently, if you listen to the state attorney there angela corey headed for retrial. >> that has some experts and other attorneys really surprised. so, remember last night an attorney in jacksonville, florida, convicted dunn on three counts of attempt eed murd eed

degree murder. dunn was also convicted of firing on an occupied vehicle, but jurors failed to agree on that big charge everybody was watching. murder in the killing of jordan davis. >> davis was 17 when he was shot to death in the parking lot of that gas station in jacksonville. today would have been his 19th birthday. the lack of a murder conviction sent davis supporters to the streets. you see him here. outside the courthouse calling for the state attorney ouster. >> the attorney representing the davis family ask that everyone leave the family alone today as they celebrate what would have been davis' 19 birthday and as

they process the verdict that came down here. after about 30 hours of deliberations, the jury in the michael dunn murder trial returned a partial verdict. >> mr. dunn you having been convicted of counts two, three and four by a jury. >> three of attempted second degree murder of the shooting outside a gas station that killed 17-year-old jordan davis. but on the murder charge, no verdict. >> based on the jury's inability to reach a verdict on count one, i will declare that mistried. >> davis' family expressed gratitude but vow to keep fighting. >> we will continue to stand and we will continue to await for justice for jordan. >> i feel this michael d nuunn a minimum of 20 years on one count and another 20 years on another count and another minimum 20 years on another count. so, he's going to learn that he

must be remorseful for the killing of my son that it was not just another day at the office. >> reporter: during the trial, jurors heard from the three teens who were in the car with davis the night a confrontation over loud music turned violent. >> what did the driver do with the gun when he grabbed it from the glove compartment? >> reporter: dunn, himself, took the stand in his own defense. >> i'm looking out the window and i said, you're not going to kill me you [ bleep ] and i shot. >> reporter: surveillance video where you can hear the gunfire was requested by the jury during deliberations. jurors also had several questions, including this one. >> is it possible to not reach a verdict on one count and reach a verdict on other counts? >> reporter: suggesting they were having difficulty reaching a unanimous verdict on the murder charge as early as friday. the tension in the courtroom palpable. >> those 30 hours were probably the most stressful hours of my life. i cannot even imagine what mr.

dunn was thinking because he was the one that was facing the verdict. >> angela corey has said that she has every intention to pursue another trial on that first degree murder charge. christi, victor. >> alina in jacksonville, thank you. stick around, we'll talk much more about this case and the verdict of what's happening with the attorneys at the bottom of this hour on "new day." the mixed result disappointed some people in the courtroom, obviously. several expert observers who were confused and not too happy about it, as well. take a look. >> what i find so appalling is that they could not reach a verdict as to the first count, which is first degree murder. >> i think the defense clearly raised sufficient reasonable doubt as it related to the justifiable use of force.

>> yes, i'm happy dunn's going away. he's going away and it's a life sentence, but, still, that count one is just hanging there in the air. >> angela corey, with all due respect, is in deep denial. when she says we put on everything we possibly could. no they didn't. >> he's going to die in prison. mission accomplished. i don't know what trying the case would do. >> it's my firm belief if the roles were reversed and a black youth gunned down a 45-year-old white software creator that was unarmed, we wouldn't even be talking. it would be over. >> let's not be embarrassed that we all have issues with race. let's talk about it. let's come together on this. >> and, again, we will have more coming up on this in the next hour and a half, of course, as we continue the conversation. a lot of questions that we need to ask. if you have something you want us to ask some of the experts we

have coming on, let us know, tweet us. >> we'll pass those questions on. >> i don't know if you've seen this video yet. some people just want to sit down and have a meal but good heavens, clearing snow from the streets of new york led to this freak accident. take a look at this. surveillance video in queens. you see that snow plow there barreling through. apparently it was doing so with such force, it threw heavy snow and ice across the sidewalk inblowing out the store front knocking over a customer seated inside. this is frightening for them. >> the manager of the restaurant said the customer who was blown out of her seat checked out of the hospital and appear toz be okay. and, you know, further north, blizzard warnings issued off the coast of massachusetts. let's go to jennifer gray now. jennifer, this video from this restaurant. i think people, the most we've ever experienced was making the snow blocking car doors. but go through the window of a restaurant. i think people are surprised.

i'm surprised by that. the force of the snow. >> i'm very surprised, you know. we had a couple accidents with those snow plows this winter season. a lot of snow and, luckily, no one was injured seriously in that. because that could have been really, really bad. we are still watching the snow come down in the northeast. luckily, it is moving on out off the coast of maine, northern maine pushing into canada this morning. we had about 11 inches of snow in massachusetts. a couple little systems that we're going to see coming on through, once moving through and not going to cause much snow at all later today and into monday. then another one in the midwest. cause a little bit of snow, places like chicago, minneapolis and your snow totals through monday, four to eight inches in minneapolis and three to six in milwaukee and chicago could pick up an inch or two. so, nothing major right there. here's your good news of the day. we are going to see a shift in the jet stream. you could thank the jet stream and its ride to the north for the warmer air that will start working in mainly to the south,

but the north will actually feel it, too, in the coming days. atlanta 61 today and 64 tomorrow and then by tuesday, temperatures will be at 66 degrees. new york city will be at 38 degrees on tuesday and then in the 40s on wednesday in d.c. even at 61 degrees wednesday. so, guys, things are really starting to change but i was reading some things in the midwest they're starting to worry about some of that flooding. they had so much snow and temperatures start to warm up and flooding is going to be a concern in places like the midwest in the coming weeks. >> right, right, that's always a concern. jennifer gray, thank you so much. the latest from sochi and who has been helping to boost the u.s. medal counts. president obama is weighing in over twitter about team usa's big victory on the ice. spokesperson: we decided to settle this. a steel cage death match of midsize sedans. the volkswagen passat against all comers.

baez in new york. paul, let me start with you. i know you have a theory to how dunn could be found guilty on the attempted murder of jordan davis' friends, but not of murdering jordan davis, which is the thing that people are having such a hard time wrapping their heads around. how did this happen? >> you know, christi, people are stunned by this verdict and i think they're particularly splized by tspliz surprised by the finding that dunn acted in self-defense in shooting and killing jordan davis, but how could he be guilty of attempted murder if that's the case? remember, two volleys of shots. pop, pop, pop. four shots first. those presumably were the shots that were fired at jordan davis. now, the jury hung on those counts. the other attempted murder counts had to do with the three other young men, teenagers who were in the vehicle. he was charged with attempted murder on each of those counts. now, the jury, i believe, fougu on those counts because the

vehicle was fleeing at that point in time. he wasn't acting in self-defense. he had no reason to be using that force. so, i think that's why what appears on its face to be a strange verdict is actually probably pretty logical with respect to these facts. >> so, jose, with the three counts of second degree attempted murder, there's 20 each that have to run consecutively. 15 years minimum. 15 of the additional and 75 years in prison. michael dunn is going to die in prison. are you surprised prosecutors are already announced they're going to try again to convict him on first degree murder. what's the point if the man is going to die in prison? >> fiscally, i don't know what the point is. however, if you look at the situation, they've got three counts that are one right after the other. he's going to die in prison. and the main question is, what was the split? how many jurors were in favor to acquit? how many were in favor to

convict? we really don't know that answer yet and until you get that, i think it's premature to say what mistakes the prosecution made during this time that they can correct the second time. the likelihood of a conviction, those are things they need to consider. aside from that, it's a prumature decision. >> a lot of people are thinking that the fact that dunn testified might have been a game changer here. i had a lot of people, i was covering it when it was happening on twitter and some of them were saying, i want to hate this guy. but i'm finding myself believing him. what do you make of that? did you find any part of what he had to say believable? because his girlfriend, his fiancee still, i think on one of the major parts that's hard for people to understand was completely, had a completely different story. she said, he never told me about a gun. that he saw a gun in his car.

>> we're all stunned by this verdict and i think even people who have been involved in a lot of murder cases as i have through my career, i was quite surprised by the verdict. particularly, christi, the point that you raise. you know, after firing these shots, the fiancee gets in his car, they go to a bed and breakfast where they order pizza and spend the night like nothing happened but she testifies he never said anything about seeing a gun in jordan davis' car. now, wouldn't that be the only thing you're talking about? they pulled a gun on me, they tried to kill me. you'd be obsessed with talking about it. he said he never raised it. hard to believe that any of the jurors might accept the self-defense claim. now we get to your point about how did he do on the witness stand. jose will agree with me on this. it's rare that you put a defendant on the stand in a murder case, especially a murder case that goes in weak, but sometimes you do. you think he's going to do well. and he did very well on the

stand. and, you know, they did something subtle that i thought was very helpful. they put him in a sweater, which softened his look and made him look like sort of a nice, ordinary person. and he came across as soft and kind of likable as opposed to, you know, someone with a temper who would just open fire and kill a teenage boy. obviously, he didn't convince all the jury, but he convinced enough that this was a hung jury on that critical first degree murder count. >> jose, you mentioned that it is premature for the state to say that it's going to retry dunn on the first degree murder charge, partially because they haven't identified any mistakes that the state has made with its case. have you identified any mistakes in the state's case? >> well, this kind of goes back to what paul was saying. i'm not surprised by the verdict and that's because we have such a terrible time being able to cover these trials that there are things you see in the courtroom that the camera does not catch. and that the camera does not see. and that is the subtle nuances

of when a lawyer makes a point that the jury is able to identify with. the repore that some -- that the camera just simply will not pick up. so, i don't know if the prosecution made any mistakes here. i think they will if they're truly self-evaluating will be able to sit back and make that decision. but to make it right off the bat like that, i think was really more a play for the cameras than it was anything because simply not knowing what the split was should tell you that they're making this decision based on emotion and not something that they actually thought through, whether they can actually accomplish. >> we'll see if it actually happens. jose baez and paul callan, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks, gentlemen.

9,999 on their point, but let me tell you. i can't get past the second thing. it's interesting to see what's happened. we've heard reports that they are starting petitions on whitehouse.gov to bring the game back and, of course, there's also all of these games that popped up that are carbon copies of flappy bird, but still, not the same thing. like new coke. doesn't taste the same. looks the same but doesn't taste the same. >> new coke is now old coke. >> gone coke. >> gone, yeah. >> there were these phones that people could buy pre-programmed with the game, that you could buy on ebay. >> right. >> what happened with those? >> ebay yanked down a lot of these bids. we saw these phones were getting like $100,000 bids from people just to get flappy birds, and i thought, well, i should -- i mean, i could get a down payment on a house if i just sell my cell phone. there's some technical ramifications on this. you may not necessarily get the

phone with flappy birds on it, because one you put on all your user data, a lot of times the phones need to be reset and in doing so you would have ended up losing the game. wasted money. >> let's talk about twitter, shall we. because we hear changes are coming. >> yeah. >> people don't like change so much. facebook has been criticized for it, so what's going to happen? who is affected. >> right. it's a slow rollout here. it's popped up. it happened to a gentleman who writes for mashable, so, of course, it immediately got noticed, that they are changing the way that your profile page looks. now when you go to twitter, it's got you kind of front and center and then a list of tweets down the page. in this instance it looks more like your facebook time line where your picture is off to the side, and your tweets actually show up in boxes, very much more like an online magazine format. it looks great, and it definitely embraces the fact that twitter is more than just tweets and is now a lot more

photos and video, and with the photos and video this layout actually makes a lot more sense so i definitely see this as something they will probably roll out to more users as the months go on. >> okay. >> that's good. >> with the cell phones, depending on where you are, you can shop for a pretty good deal. t-mobile, what kind of incentives are people offering now? why now, why this push? >> why has it taken so long? we have four national carriers, and they are still fighting with each other. it's interesting. t-mobile is definitely trying to break the trend here. they are going against the grain. you know, we're not going to make you sign a contract. we'll pay your early termination fee if you decide to switch. it's interesting to watch because they are on a national scale, they are the smallest of the four, sprint, at&t and verizon, verizon being the large f-. what's been interesting to watch is at&t was the first to kind of shake a little bit and say, oh, you're going to pay early termination fees to steal our customers. we'll do the exact opposite, but what t-mobile is trying to push

is unlimited data which a lot of people now that we've got our iphone 5s and android devices that are really data hungry are finding these data caps that cellular providers are giving us. just don't work anymore. we want that unlimited data and access like we have at home. verizon finally just thursday said, all right, fine. we'll lower the prices just a little bit, and we'll throw in some extra data for you. they are still toeing the line. still have to have a contract. still more expensive than anyone else. still definitely resting on their laurels that they are the largest and most preferred carrier nationwide in most consumer surveys so they still got that going for them, but if you are not happy with your service or you feel like you're paying too much, now is a great time to start shopping around. >> good to know. >> brett larson, good to see you. >> great to see you guys, too. thank you. >> coming up in the next hour of "new day," the florida man who turned a teenager who did not want to turn the music down may

today. >> the avalanche happened yesterday evening. three other skiers are hospitalized with broken bones, a collapsed lung. of course we'll be following the developments on the story all morning and bring you updates as that happen as that search begins at daybreak. let's go to florida and the strong reverberations for what some have called the loud music murder trial. >> late yesterday, after four days of deliberations, a jury in jacksonville convicted michael dunn of three counts of attempted second-degree murder, each of which carries a minimum 20-year sentence. those have to be served consecutively so that means 60 years in all. >> dunn also was convicted of firing on an occupied vehicle, another 15 years possible there. but jurors failed to agree on the big charge, murder in the killing of jordan davis. davis was 17 when he was shot to death outside the convenience store where he and his friends were parked next to dunn who asked them to turn down the music. dunn swears he feared for his life, but police and prosecutors say the teens were unarmed.

today would have been davis' 19th birthday. >> a lack of a murder conviction sent the young man's supporters to the streets though. this was outside the courthouse, and they are calling for the state attorney's ouster. >> hey, hey, let's go. mccarthy's got to go. >> let's bring in somebody who knows florida law so well, attorney and cnn legal analyst mark o'meara. >> mark, good to have you with us. >> good morning. >> you defended george zimmerman successfully in the trayvon martin case, but you always said the dunn case was different and are you surprised by the verdict from this jury? >> it's different in a number of ways. primarily it was different because there was absolutely no altercation or argument or fight, physical fight between dunn and jordan, and that type of evidence that existed in the

zimmerman case suggested that there really was a reasonable fear for at least injury and not great bodily injury in this case. the problem with the dunn case is that although there was the verbal altercation, there was back and forth, there were so many opportunities to get out of the scene so certainly he could have backed up the car. one primary issue. probably the biggest issue and difference and what led to a differing conclusion was that dunn left and never called police. if there was one fact that gave the juries the concerns that they had to have in this case is if you shoot into a car with anybody, four males or anybody, you then call a copyright away. you don't wait a day so that's the biggest significant difference. as to the verdict itself, i'm not surprised with it. if you really look at it, and we can't blame the jury for not coming up with a verdict, because i think they did their job when they did everything

they could and could not come up with a verdict. if you analyze it this way. those three counts where they found dunn guilty of attempted second-degree murder is a perfect response to what he did. i think to focus on the last three shots saying nobody anywhere has a right to shoot at a car as it's leaving with three kids in it, and that's where you got the second-degree murder. it wasn't first degree because i do not think the state presented enough evidence of that pre-meditation. this was at best a second-degree case, and we have to look at it that way. as to why they didn't decide on guilt on the jordan davis case, i think we have to almost congratulate the jury because what they said to us with that failure to acquit or convict is that neither the state nor the defense came up with a sufficient amount of evidence to make a decision. >> knowing that and knowing people are calling for angela cory to step out of position.

they want her to lose her job, some people, and the fact that if you want to re-try somebody it's costly. dunn's already going away for a long time. there are -- i'm sure there are going to be questions about whether they can seat another impartial jury. do you -- do you think it's likely that they will be able to secure a trial for that first count? >> well, if we take away the emotions, and i try will you feel for the davis feeling now with this verdict and to not have the closure that they really need and to go on to the stage of grieving that they have, to but if you look at it purely analytically, an imperfect self-defense, which is what this is, overreacted to a perceived threat, quite honestly that's a manslaughter charge under our law, not just florida law but almost any law because when you do something without justification, that's manslaughter. this was never a first-degree case. i said that in the beginning when angela cory presented evidence to the grand jury to get a first-degree murder indictment, did it for the right

reasons. i think that was an overcharge and now realizing he's going to die in prison, that's a foregone conclusion with a 43-year-old man, he'll have to serve 60 years. maybe there's a way that we can start a healing process, work something out. the trial doesn't matter to anybody and maybe if dunn were able to acknowledge his responsibility for what he did to jordan davis, then maybe there could actually be a healing process without another three or four months of trial and what it's going to put the nation. >> all righty. it's interesting because cory strolla, the defense attorney says dunn was in disbelief. even as he sat next to me how is this happening? it hadn't set in. i don't think it will set in any time soon so whether he's going to acknowledge anything is still in question. mark o'mara, we thank you so much for being with us. >> let's get the latest on the games in sochi.

2-0. this should be an easy win for team usa which should give them a bye game next week which gives them a little bit of time to rest but slovenia definitely not great competition. i think an nbc announcer said slovenia is about the size of delaware so there's not a crop of hockey talent in slovenia. usa 2-0 after one period. >> thank you, joe. >> you bet. >> still ahead on "new day," mass graves, other evidence of sheer horror in a syrian town ruled by islamic militants. this is a cnn exclusive. you want to stick around for this report. >> heralding a new generation of republicans. meet a republican candidate running for congress and ask why he decided to put his same-sex partner in his latest ad. ♪ ♪ ♪ told ya you could do it.

[ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions,

jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto if you have abnormal bleeding. "new day." d to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto. once-a-day xarelto means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options,

happening today. chelsea clinton takes the stage in las vegas. the former first daughter is the keynote speaker at the conference for the human rights campaign. the event is called time to thrive, and it focuses on promoting safety, inclusion and well-being for gay youth. clinton currently serves as vice chair of the clinton foundation. well, a second round of peace talks on syria has really not gone very far. some lawmakers are calling for

more aggressive action as the humanitarian crisis as we know gets worse based on what we just saw from arwa. >> joining us now from washington is candy crowley, host of cnn's "state of the union." candy, you've got senator john mccain on with you today. what is he saying about all of this? >> he is blaming sort of the past policies of the obama administration. he's always been sort of the leading voice for helping to arm what has been called legitimate rebels in syria. part of the problem right now though is there are so many groups inside syria, including islamist militants, including those with al qaeda links, that they are beginning to fight each other, and it's very unclear that any additional assistance from the united states or anyone else would help rather than harm the situation, so, you know, we know that the senator has been very aggressive in his efforts to try to get aid to some of

these anti-government rebels. certainly he believes, as the obama administration has stated in the past, that assad should go, that the government of assad should go, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards so the question is what now? >> all righty. hey, candy. thank you so much. we'll be watching. stay here. "state of the union" with candy crowley starts at the top of the hour, 9:00 a.m. eastern, right here on cnn. thanks, candy. >> still to come on "new day," is the republican party reaching a threshold or a tipping point? we'll introduce one conservative candidate for congress who is shocking a lot of people with his campaign, and this ad. honestly? my kids were always on my laptop.

not a lot about political ads that surprise people anymore. >> except maybe this one from california. look. >> our future is bountiful with the possibilities of a better day. there's a new way, a new approach for a new time. he believes in equality and diversity, and is a defender of our personal freedoms. >> okay. did you catch that? that was carl demaio, an openly gay republican running for congress in california. he's holding hands there with his partner. >> joining us now from his home

district in san diego is the candidate, carl demaio. good to have you, carl. >> good morning. >> so why did you choose to put your partner, i believe his name is jonathan, put jonathan in the ad? >> well, i don't see what the big deal s.straight candidates for office have been putting their spouses, their children, their household pets in ads for many years. it gives you a glifs you a glimpse of the person as an individual and what they stand for. this ad is 88 seconds, covers my experience in saving the city of san diego from bankruptcy, getting pension reform done and getting it done on special interests. it also highlights my commitments that we respect people and stand up for personal freedoms. so i think the ad covers a number of topics, and like any candidate ad, it gives you a glimpse into who i am as a person. >> okay. so i know that we've seen a lot of laws regarding same-sex marriage shifting across the country, gay marriage ban

overturned in virginia recently, but then in kansas we have this proposed law that would protect businesses who want to discriminate against gay couples based on their own religious preferences. first of all, i'm assuming, i could be wrong here, so i want to ask you, do you support same-sex marriage itself, and how do you view this changing political landscape these days? >> well, of course, i personally believe in marriage equality, that people should be treated equally under the law, and i think that we are seeing sizable change across the country where people are concluding that this is simply not an issue for us to fight over in government but that we should allow individuals to make their own decision. in the context of their own family beliefs and their own faith, and that's hopefully where we're going to head in the future. i'd like to see our elected leaders not fight over divisive social issues but instead focus on the national debt, the poor economy, holding government accountable. these are issues that we elect

people to solve in government, but they have been distracted, and they have been fighting on these divisive social issues and not getting things done for american people i think we need to change the conversation and refocus our efforts. >> carl, you might have heard this, that the president of the national organization for marriage has said that you're a trophy candidate that they, republicans, can point to and say to the media, see, we're progressive, too. we're evolved. i know that eric cantor has donated to your campaign. other leaders in congress. what about it that sentiment that you're a red herring to solve a problem for the party at large? >> well, you know, i think that the most unique part of my candidacy is not the fact that i'm gay. i think the most unique element of my candidacy is that i've gotten major reform done in government. politicians talk about reform all the time. i've actually been able to turn the city of san diego around from the brink of bankruptcy, get national attention for my pension reform plan, so, you know, i think that really what

i'm trying to do is change the culture of the republican party so that we're a party that stands on principle, is positive and constructive with solutions and actually gets reform done, doesn't just talk about it. we need to shake things up in washington, and i think that's the biggest element of my candidacy that i'm most proud of. >> so what kind of support have you had? >> you know, the support has been pretty overwhelming. obviously within san diego, this has not been an issue. i've had the support of social conservatives and also a good number of democrats. nationally we're seeing growing support of people who recognize that the party has to change its tone and its tenor, that we've got to get off the divisive social issues. let people decide those on their own. get government out of way on that issue, but focus on fiscal and economic reform and offer a constructive message. so so far the support has been pretty overwhelming. there are some nay sayers. we fully expected that, but we don't let that get us down.

we stay focused on positive messaging. >> carl, thanks so much. >> thank you for starting your morning with us. >> yeah. "inside politics" with john king starts right now. make some good memories today. first, conservatives call for a coup against speaker of the house john boehner because of his surrender in the debt ceiling showdown. >> don't have 218 votes, you have nothing. >> tea party darling ted cruz forces a senate vote that could cost his boss gop leader mitch mcconnell his job. nasty public battles in the tea party versus the establishment civil war. why do so many republicans feel better than ever about 2014? and it's back to the future week for hillary clinton. >> i suppose i could have stayed home and baked cookies and had it's. >> an insight into clinton's take on her
