a verdict in the loud music trial. a family seeking justice a defendant in shock. hln's jane velez-mitchell joins me to break down what happens next. will u.s. skier bode miller make a comeback in the olympic games? we'll tell you how he did today coming up. rescuers in colorado have located the body of two skiers that went missing after an avalanche. searchers had been warned by beacons found on the bodies. others caught in the avalanche sent to the hospital with broken bones and a collapsed lung. stephanie elam following the story today. they found the two skiers, their bodies today, this is an area of steep terrain. have they been able to retrieve the bodies? >> reporter: that is what they are working on, fred.

they have a race against time. once the sun goes down they have to clear out of there. it's very steep terrain we're talking about. those two skiers that died are part of a team of seven skiing in the back country of aspen. two made i out, three sent to the hospital, one released and now they found these two others. this all happened yesterday evening, at the end of the daylight hours. now the rush today was to go out and see if the search and rescue could get to them. once they got to them figuring how to work this part out. take a look at susan matthews from the lake county office of emergency management. she talks about getting to these two people. >> the two persons missing were wearing beacons. the ground crew was able to find the beacons on them. the first team that went up had

to wait for safety clearance. then they had to weigh wait for a pass for the second team to go. >> officials say beacons are so key for skiers in deep terrains where avalanches have been a key this winter. they are not fail-safe. that's what happened today, fred. >> what about the skiers sent to the hospital with injuries. what do we know about them? >> we understand two of them went to different hospitals because their injuries are more severe. one may have a collapsed lung and broken bones. one who initially went to the hospital was released. we have two patients we believe are in. we also still don't know identities of two skiers that died. >> stephanie, thank you so much. keep us posted. onto florida where both sides in the emotionally charged loud music trial dealing with a mixed verdict.

they found michael dunn guilty of four out of five charges, four of attempted murder. on the most serious charge the jury deadlocked. listen to the judge before the verdict was read. >> all right. we have verdicts in counts two, three, four, and five. based on the jury's inability to reach a verdict as to count one, i would declare that mistried. >> mistrial on jordan davis. martin savidge live in jacksonville. he's facing a lot of prison time but what happens with that first degree murder charge? >> right now it's a mistrial which means there is the potential we could do it all over again at least on the charge of murder first degree and michael dunn. that is a formality yet to come. after the verdict, immediately a news conference held by the prosecution and defense. it was the defense attorney who pointed out and said, look, my

client is going to go away for a long time. you could retry him but why would you? after that you hear the prosecution. >> looking at 60 years because of the aggravating fact a firearm is used. it could run consecutively with judge healey. again, 60 years. i don't think miss corey will recharge it thinking i'm going to tack on more time. i don't think that will be her mind-set. i don't think that was her mind-set in the beginning. i think you still have to talk to the davis family, see if they want closure, want to go through another trial. >> retrying a case is something we've all had to do and will continue to have to do and we'll give it the same full attention. we don't back off having to retry. >> the davis family says they still want to seek justice for their son. angela corey is implying they will go forward with a second

prosecution. if they do that, they will ask for a change of venue. fredricka. >> thank you so much in jacksonville. this trial that ha people across the country talking. jane velez-mitchell in new york. chicago criminal defense attorney stephen greenberg. good to see both of you all. stephen, you first. if the prosecutors decide to retry michael dunn on first degree, what's the risk of doing so? >> i don't know there's any risk to mr. dunn because he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail either way. he's 47 years old. he's going to get out if he gets a minimum sentence when he's close to 70. it's a political decision in my opinion. there's no reason to retry this case. i think the jury did the right thing in this case. you had someone who hadn't been in trouble before. he opens fire. he claims he saw what he thought was a weapon. they couldn't reach a verdict on that count. at other counts where he's

firing at a car fleeing from him, clearly he's guilty. there's no reason for that. there's no reason to retry it except for political reasons. >> how do you see this, no recourse other than fire a weapon. while the jurors -- >> stand your ground is a license to kill, especially young black males. it's outrageous to say this was the correct decision, far from it. this was a tragedy and a miscarriage of justice. i think it sends a subliminal message out there, there's more than 300 million guns in this country. it sends a message to somebody, anybody, oh, you see a young, black teenager and you think he looks skrary to you, there's a preconceived notion you can blow them away. >> if that's what they thought, jane, they would have acquitted him of the counts of shooting at a car as the car was pulling away. if that was the message the jury

wanted to send, they would have acquitted him on all counts. >> didn't say a word with him. only jordan davis had communication with him. >> was the message not sent, steven, justifiably michael dunn fired a weapon that killed a 17-year-old boy? >> no, the message wasn't sent because they didn't acquit him of that count. they just couldn't reach a decision. he claimed he saw a weapon. there was a tripd, maybe they could have made a bigger deal than that. >> nobody corroborated that was waved, used as a weapon. >> fredricka, here is the point. the defense managed to put the victim on trial here. this is exactly what's happening again. it was all about jordan davis, did he have a gun? did he threaten? did he advance? even though the prosecution made very good arguments that's all nonsense, a lie perpetrated by the defendant, the point was he

seemed like he was the one on trial, a young man who couldn't speak for himself because he's dead. if time around if they do it again, and i hope they will, they have to put the defendant on trial. the prosecution has to get control of the debate and around what michael dunn did and what his motivations were. >> maybe that's what they did do. that's what the defense did, jane, and the jury focused on that. >> explain what you mean by that. >> the defense, here is a guy, in a good mood, coming from a happy event. there's no premeditation which is what they needed for first degree, no explanation for his actions other than the explanation he gave which he felt like he was threatened. you have to quite frankly look at the makeup of this jury which was at least nine or ten nonminority jurors. that i think also. >> i have to respond to that, if

i may. this is a perfect storm. i don't care if he was acting happy at his wedding. he had three to four rum and coax, which by the way he did not admit on the interrogation tape. this is a son getting married, he's seen three times in 15 years. that is a time of turmoil whether you put a happy face on it or not. buzzed up, maybe drunk, he pulls into a convenience store and a young african-american teenager has loud music and mouths off to him and drops an f bomb and it's a perfect storm. either there's racial animus or there isn't. either there was prejudice involved or it wasn't. maybe the next time around they have to charge this as a hate crime. >> stop right there. i want to talk about racial animus and whether that can be defined as premeditation. that's an argument people are making, perhaps the prosecution didn't go far enough to try to corroborate michael dunn had a problem with race. we'll talk more about that, steven and jane, right after this.

all right. lets talk more about this loud music trial. back with us jane velez-mitchell in court and in chicago criminal defense attorney steven greenberg. lets talk about was this a hate crime. did the prosecution kind of miss the boat on that. will the defense appeal. if so, on what grounds. steven, lets talk about the issue of premeditation. you said that's exactly why it was a hung jury on g murder. there was no premeditation established. however, had the prosecutors tried to better substantiate michael dunn may have, in fact, been prejudicial, had a problem with race, after all it was his fiancee who testified. as soon as he rolled up, he said i hate that thug music. if the prosecution had painted a more broad picture, specific picture about michael dunn and

his hangups about race, would there potentially have been a different outcome? would this have gone the way of a hate crime? steven. >> one of the things judges have to do in trial, they have to keep out evidence so prejudicial and not probative -- prejudicial value outweighs probative value. in this case, i don't think they would have gotten anything in. saying it's thug music isn't a racist statement. it's just a commentary on the kind of music being played. there's nothing racially motivated about this crime. he could have pulled up, seen four white males sitting there listening to eminem who is a white rap artist. >> i don't think anybody knows of a term where music is thug music. >> sure, rap music. >> his jailhouse letters reveal his racial prejudice. he wrote jailhouse letters and

everybody acknowledges. >> why is the truth not admissible. half measures do nothing. the real reason why -- he said terrible things about african-americans he was jailed with, and he disparaged the victim. he said they were all thugs. essentially he said maybe if other people stop taking it and pull out their guns and shoot them, too, they will get the hint. that's essentially what he said in jailhouse letters. >> a hint about the music. >> no, he was talking pout thugs in general which he equated with african-americans. now, if that isn't a motive for what he did, i don't know what is. >> once that -- >> you're saying essentially he went out hunting that day? >> no, i'm saying it's a perfect storm. no, don't miss characterize what i'm saying. i'm saying he had a pre-existing racial prejudice, it would seem,

based on those letters and the testimony, commence of a former neighbor who told me in an exclusive interview he was very racist. because of drinking, because of an emotionally charged evening, it was a perfect storm and that was the wrong night for jordan davis to drop an f bomb and play that loud music is what i'm saying. >> that may be true but that's not premedication. that's second degree under florida law. maybe the case was overcharged. >> if this were to be retried, the prosecutors were to go at it again, is this the kind of information that would be taken advantage of this time? would those letters be used? would it be admissible? or would it be best for the family of jordan to pursue a civil suit and more likely make an impact on michael dunn's life that way. steven? >> i'm sure they either have filed a civil suit or they are

doing to file a civil suit and they will get whatever money this guy has. i don't know what he's got. they shouldn't retry the case. he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail. everyone should move on with their lives. >> it's not just about this family. it's about america. >> if he is a racist, the inmates will take care of him. >> will this case help provoke some kind of change or reevaluation of this florida law? clearly there have been parallel made of trayvon martin and george zimmerman case. the same argument made under the same law, stand your ground. jane, do you see this is setting the way, paving the way, perhaps, for a reexamination of this law? >> it has to be reexamined. it's a license to kill. essentially it is. ening the bigger cultural issue our addiction to violence. i wrote a book calledsome

addicts nation." addicts will justify, rationalize their behavior. this is what's happening, rationalizing this violent, unnecessary act. >> jane velez-mitchell, we have to leave it there. steven greenberg, thanks to you as well. appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up, we're going to talk about politics and beyond. we know bill and hillary clinton made names in politics but what about their daughter chelsea? we'll show you what's next to her as she takes the stage in las vegas. a big day for american alpine skier at the sochi game. hey kevin...still eating chalk for heartburn?

all right. to the olympics now and today's spoiler alert. here is the latest medal count. mute your television if you don't want to hear this. the netherlands now leads with 17 total medals. team usa and russians tied for second with 16 medals including four goals each. after a series of disappointments, team usa is back on the podium in alpine events. it was a record setting day for american skier bode miller. here is rachel nichols. >> u.s. skiing bounced back big today taking silver and bronze in the super g. a particularly special bronze for bode miller.

it's a lot tougher when you get older. no one over 34 has ever won an olympic medal in skiing but miller did it today at 36. another record in his lustrous career but also first olympic medal since his younger brother died last year. he said it was an emotional day. >> losing my brother was hard, attached emotion to this. he wanted to come to these games. i thought he would have a chance to make it. to have him pass away the way he did really kind of connected with my sort of journey coming back. i felt that was all connected and raw for me. >> his younger brother was a snowboarder who had a chance to make the olympic team himself before he passed away. bode said for him it felt like he was skiing for both of them.

bode skied. it went off okay in the morning but by the evening they had to cancel the biathlon. this is where you shoot at a target. they couldn't see what they were shooting at, which isn't good. they had to postpone the games. bill and hillary clinton made a life out of politics, now some speculating about the future of their daughter chelsea. she just wrapped up a speech on gay and lesbian issues sponsored by gay rights in las vegas. she's scheduled to make another high-profile speech in missouri. so is she emerging from the shadows. erin joining us today. today chelsea is alone addressing this lgtb audience. what is going on here? >> fred, chelsea clinton is

making the rounds now that she's taken over vice president of the clinton foundation. today's speech is equality, inclusion for the young gay community. here is just a little bit of what she said a few minutes ago. >> changing laws and changing the political dialogue while necessary is insufficient to ensure bullying stops, to ensure every young person is supported by their parents and teachers as they question who they are and discover who they are regardless of their sexuality. now, we'll also see chelsea a week from monday in kansas city kicking off a brand-new hall of fame for children in that region at the university of missouri and she'll be at south by southwest in austin to share insights on how you can best transform the world around you. she was on table with her mother hillary clinton at new york university for an aptly named program no ceilings project to promote and empower women. what mrs. clinton said was

revealing. >> one of the best pieces of advice i ever heard from anyone is eleanor roosevelt in the 1920s who said women in politics or public roles should grow skin like a rhinoceros. i think there's some truth to that. >> now, chelsea clinton has become very protective of her mother. it's interesting we're seeing her step out with this series of speeches as hillary clinton is onstarting to come under fire from republicans again, fred. >> among those republicans apparently mitt romney said something recently about hillary. what? >> that's right. he was on "meet the press" earlier today. he was asked about senator rand paul's comments who said monica lewinsky scandal will weigh on hillary if she runs for president and here is how he responded. >> i don't think bill clinton is as relevant as hillary clinton if hillary clinton decides to run for president. in her case, i think people will

look at her record as secretary of state and say during that period of time did our relation with nations around the world elevate america and el vase interests or were they reveeding. i think her record is what she will be judged upon, not the record of her husband. >> obviously there's a little debate about that but we certainly are hearing republicans go after hillary clinton on benghazi. >> thanks so much in washington. coming up next, buried five feet under an avalanche. you'll see how one man actually made it out.

today is an emotional day for the family of jordan davis, the teen shot and killed over a fight over loud music. today would have been jordan's 19th birthday. it comes a day after the mixed verdict and the man accused of his death, michael dunn. here is elena machado. >> reporter: after 30 hours of deliberations in the michael dunn murder trial, the jury returned a partial verdict. >> mr. dunn, your having been convicted of counts two, three, four by a jury. >> convicted of three counts including attempted second degree murder at a gas station that killed jordan davis. on the murder charge, no verdict. >> based on the jury's inability to reach a verdict as to count one, i will declare that

mistried. >> reporter: davis's family expressed gratitude to the jury but 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 on one counsel, another 20 on another count, another minimum 20 years on another count. so he's going to learn that he has to be remorseful for the killing of my son. it wasn't just another day at the office. >> during the trial the jury heard from the theens were in the car when the altercation turned violent. >> what did the driver do with the gun from the glove compartment. >> dunn himself took the stand in his defense. >> i looked out the window and said you're not going to kill me, you son of a --

>> surveillance video where you could hear gunfire was requested. the jury had several questions including this one. >> is it possible to not reach a verdict on one count and reach a verdict on other counts. >> suggesting they were having difficulty reaching a 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 can't even imagine what mr. dunn was thinking because he was the one facing the verdict. >> cnn, jacksonville, florida. jordan davis's parents sat quietly as the verdict was read. here is more of what they said after that tense moment. >> it's been a long, long road. and we're so very happy to have just a little bit of closure.

it's sad for mr. dunn that he will live the rest of his life in that sense of torment, and i will pray for him. i've asked my family to pray for him. but we are so grateful for the charges that have been brought against him. we are so grateful for the truth. we are so grateful that the jurors were able to understand the common sense of it all. and we will continue to stand, and we will continue to wait for justice for jordan. >> thank you all for being here.

it's been a long journey, about 450 days. me and lucy and our supporters have stood strong. i believe we stood strong in the eyes of not only jacksonville, not only florida, not only the nation but the world is looking at all of us here in jacksonville. it's not in my nature, actually, to not lash out and to not say inflammatory statements, whatever, but i have to hold that in. i think my son and lucy's son deserved the best representation he could have gotten as parents. i thank you all for saying that we as parents were good parents to jordan. he was a good kid. it wasn't allowed to be said in the courtroom but he was a good kid but we'll see he was a good

kid. there's a lot of good kids out there. a lot of good nephews, a lot of good grandsons, granddaughters, nieces, and they should have a voice. they shouldn't live in fear walking around the streets wondering if somebody has a problem with somebody else, i think the shot is collateral damage. there's no such thing to parents that their child suffered collateral damage. we as human beings love our children, we love our families. we don't accept a law that would allow collateral damage to our family members. we raised them not to fear each other we raised them to be good citizens in america. we expect the law to be behind us and protect us. that's what i wanted the law to do, protect jordan as we protected jordan. i feel this michael dunn has a minimum of 20 years on one count, another 20 years on another count, 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. my son will never be just another day at the office where i can leave the scene and be stoic. you know what, we're not stoke. we've cried our eyes out to you, the press, and everybody else, to the world, me and lucy and our families and supporters have cried our eyes out because we don't care about being stoic because we have love in our hearts. we want you all to love and have love in your hearts. i thank you for coming here today. thank you. >> there have been comparisons between this case and the george zimmerman trial. also in florida last year. tomorrow morning on new day, george zimmerman sets down with chris cuomo. don't miss that. new day begins at 6:00 a.m. eastern time. became big business overnight? ♪ like, really big...
