"cnn this morning" continues right now.

guilty verdict. signed by the forelady, 3/2/23. >> we had no doubt that we had a chance to present our case in a court of law they would see through the one last con that alex murdaugh was trying to pull and they did and we are so grateful for that. >> prosecution team in south carolina feeling good this morning. they got that verdict in just about three hours. now we are waiting for them to be back in the courtroom this morning because the sentencing hearing will be underway. good morning. alex murdaugh has been found guilty on all counts in the double monitored of his own wife and son. we will find out if he is going to get life in prison. the attorney general is going to join us lufb as the judge is preparing to sentence murdaugh. emotions high in east palestine east palestine last night demanding to be relocated after last month's toxic train

derailment. two families brought together by tragedy. the parents of television journalist and 9-year-old girl killed in last week's shooting spree near orlando. we begin with the news out of south carolina. alex murdaugh has been convicted of murdering his own wife and son. the jury finding the disgraced lawyer guilty on all counts. one of the jurors just spoke to "good morning america" said it only took 45 minutes of deliberating for the entire jury to agree he was guilty. >> when you first got in the room you took a vote? >> it was two not guilty and one not sure and nine guilty. >> what was your vote? >> guilty. started deliberating, going through the evidence. and everybody was pretty much talking and about 45 minutes later after all our deliberating

we figured it tout. >> inside the jury room. here is what that juror thought about alex murdaugh's tearful testimony when he took the stand. >> i didn't see any true remorse or any compassion or anything. >> even though he cried a lot. >> he never cried. >> he never cried? what could you mean like that? >> all he did was blow snot. >> no tears? >> no tears. >> dianne gallagher, it's remarkable to see after days and weeks of testimony all of a sudden this verdict came down in less than three hours. now letss than two hours we wil find out about the sentence. what are you seeing on the ground? >> reporter: that's right. that sure said it was that key piece of evidence, a video found on paul murdaugh's phone six

months after he was murdered that featured his father's voice, putting him at the scene of the crime minutes before the state says maggie and paul were murdered that convinced the juror that alex murdaugh was guilty. you can probably see behind me there are people lined up ready to get in to see the sentencing. alex murdaugh showed no real emotion when the jurors read the verdict. we will hear victim impact statements to see today before the judge does his sentence. >> guilty verdict. verdict guilty. verdict guilty. verdict guilty. >> alex murdaugh, from a prominent local family of lawyers and solicitors, found guilty of murdering his wife and son after just three hours of jury deliberations. >> it doesn't matter who your family is. it doesn't matter how much money you have or people think you have. it doesn't matter what you think, how prominent you are.

if you do wrong, if you break the law, if you murder, justice will be done in south carolina. >> the jury was seen with their heads down, never looking in murdaugh's direction as the verdict was read. the prominent former attorney's only living son buster present in the courtroom while the verdict was read, appearing at times to wipe tears from his eyes. after the guilty verdict came down the vunl denied a motion from the defense asking for a mistrial and to set aside the verdict. >> the evidence of guilt is overwhelming and i deny the motion. >> reporter: the prosecution has indicated they will be seeking a life sentence without the possibility of parole. sparing him the death penalty. the case wrapped up earlier thursday with the defense's closing arguments attempting one last time to poke holes in the state's case. >> there the theory is that he slaughtered his wife and son to

distract from an impending financial investigation. he puts himself in the mid dle f a murder investigation and in the spotlight of a media firestorm. >> reporter: further slamming the investigation. >> we believe that we've shown conclusively that s.l.e.d. failed. >> reporter: the jury was unswayed, favoring the prosecution's argument that murdaugh was the only one with the motive, means and opportunity to kill his wife and son. >> he did it. nobody else could have done it. >> reporter: over the roughly six-week trial the prosecution presented its case featuring testimony from 61 witnesses with phone forensics and extensive evidence of murdaugh's financial misdeeds. >> our criminal justice system worked tonight. it gave a voice to maggie and paul murdaugh. >> reporter: you can see again the line getting longer here

outside the courthouse. we have seen this each morning starting around 4:00 a.m., sometimes earlier, because of all of the different interests around the entire country, especially here in the lowcountry in this case. this is a day that i talked to some of those trial watchers who showed up every day. they wanted to see, many of them surprised the jury came back with a verdict so quickly. interested to see how judge clifton newman delivers this sentence. alex murdaugh facing between 30 years and life in prison on those murder charges. he does have a reputation for giving stiff sentences. we anticipate hearing victim impact statements. the attorneys will make their cases on what the sentencing should be and then alex murdaugh will go to prison for the death, the murders of his wife and his son. we don't know who is going to be in the courtroom, whether or not we are going to see his son buster again, how that is going to sort of work out with the murdaugh family. but we anticipate all of that,

kaitlin, to happened around 9:30 this morning. i spoke with the defense attorney jim griffin last night. he said they wouldn't comment fully on the verdict until after the sentencing. but he told me they were very disappointed in that verdict. >> yeah, it's just been a trial that captured the nation. i feel like everyone i know has been watching this. people lining up outside. a lot of people watching it on television. we know you will be watching it as well, sentencing getting underway this morning. in a few moments, alan wilson, south carolina's attorney general about his view. frustration in east palestine, ohio, last night. >> i'm begging you by the grace of god please get our people out of here. [ cheers and applause ] >> those are families demanding to be relocated from their homes at an emotional town hall meeting. they are afraid their kids going to get cancer.

this is after the toxic train derailment spilled chemicals and burned a month ago. last night norfolk southern's company representatives tried to reassure everyone there but they just got an earful. >> we understand. we are sorry what happened. we feel horrible about it. we have a plan to do that. we are ready to start tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. we are going to do the right thing. [ people shouting ] >> we are going to clean up the site. we are sorry.

>> live in east palestine, ohio. that said everything. it sounds like anything short of enough money to leave and live somewhere else and get a job, et cetera, is not going to be enough? >> people are absolutely upset, angry. they want certainty. they want absolute answers. there are people who live near the tracks. unfortunately, many people are not going to hear the answers they want quickly enough. i want to show you sort of we are as close as we can get to the derailment site here and work is starting. one thing they talked about last night, this will be a major piece of the cleanup here, there are two tracks, at least two tracks that run through there. today they have already started as there is heavy equipment on the south tracks right now. they are going to start pulling up those south tracks, excavating those hundreds of thousands of tons of toxic material under those tracks, lay down new soil and put those tracks back on and then do the

same thing on the north side. that is going to take some time. testing for dioxins is also being to happen. this is something people asked for. epa and the state's environmental protection agency have been testing for the k chemicals on the train but not dioxins. it is harmful to humans and people have been very concerned about that. epa now has a plan to test for dioxins, which is difficult to do because they are everywhere all the time but they will test a very wide area to esee if thee is a higher level here. all of this takes time. the tracks themselves, officials say it will take to the end of april before those south and north end tracks are pulled up, soil removed. after that there is going to be monitoring and continued cleanup for quite some time to come. >> miguel, thank you.

appreciate your reporting throughout this disaster. now to the weather system hitting a big part of the south. look at these live pictures from little elm, texas. these are live from our affiliate ktvt there. this is where heavy winds damaged a shopping plaza and vehicles in a parking lot there. looks like you are looking at a storefront. again these are from the chopper images from our affiliate there and they are live pictures. unbelievable with the storm, powerful storm packing a triple threat of large hail, damaging winds and tornados tearing through the south overnight and into the morning and in louisiana a twister touching down overnight. louisiana state university campus there was damaged. some homes and businesses destroyed. look at that. you can see the rolling through there. 4 million people under a new tornado watch in the mississippi river valley. carlos is in shreveport, louisiana.

good morning to you. looks like you are seeing lots of damage there. >> reporter: that's exactly right. don, good morning. that tornado that hit the shreveport area was on the ground by all accounts for just a few seconds, well under a minute, but in that time it managed to damage several homes, several businesses. the worst of it that we saw on our drive in this morning is this landry mat behind me. you can see what this storm was able do in the short time that it was on the ground. you can see the roof of the building was just torn off. the front, the sign out here fell on top of these three cars. there was one line of storms that moved in in the afternoon yesterday. that's when this tornado hit. then we had a second line of storms that hit well into the night around 10 or 11:00 at night. but that line of storms only brought with it some more rain as well as some strong winds. cellphone video from this part of louisiana captured exactly what was going on. now, as of about an hour ago we

are told by the power company out here that about 1,000 people that live in this neighborhood are waking up without power. guys. >> all right. carlos suarez in shreveport, louisiana, thank you. in washington today president biden is preparing to welcome the chancellor olaf shultz to the white house after a transformative 12 months for germany and amid new concerns about ukraine's struggle to fight off the russian offensive. today the white house is set to announce another round of military aid to ukraine. m.j., the last time the german chancellor was where you are now, russia had not invaded ukraine. how different is this meeting going to look today? what does the white house want to have out on the agenda for them? >> it's really pretty extraordinary if you think about how much the last year since russia's invasion of ukraine be has transformed president biden's presidency, foreign policy and the united states'

relationship with western allies. when the german chancellor visits at the white house later today i think we will see all of that in such clear focus. you are absolutely right that the last time that the two leaders met here in washington the invasion had not yet begun and over the last year we have seen the two leaders at the forefront of trying to figure out this new world of the ukraine war and sort of staying together and working together to keep the alliance of countries banded together to support ukraine. they don't always, though, it's worth pointing out, see eye to eye on everything in terms of how to hand the conflict it particularly when it comes to what kind of assistance germany should offer ukraine and how much. and so that is certainly expected to be a topic of discussion as well as they try to figure out, well, what is sort of the path forward as this war drags on and particularly if they are open to having discussions as well about how possibly this war can come to an end. kaitlin. >> yeah. major questions.

of course, notable there is no press conference between the two leaders today. we know you will be watching. thank you some. unspeakable heartbreak in orlando after a gunman killed a young journalist and a 9-year-old girl. their families are here next. the only smart bed in the world that actively cools, warms and effortlessly responds to both of you. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more rerestful sleep per night. proven quality s sleep. only from sleep number. ♪ celebrate every kiss. with up to0% off engagement, wedding and anniversary rings. only at y.

i can't. >> boy, family members speaking out for the first time since their loved ones were shot and killed outside orlando last week. we told you about the killings of journalist dylan lyons and third grader tianna major. i want to remind you of the horrific chain of events that led to their death. the gunman's multi scene rampage started when he shot an acquaintance in a car. police say the gunman later returned to the same area and shot two spectrum news 13 journalists at the scene to report on that first incident. 24-year-old reporter dylan lyons was killed. photo journalist jesse walden was critically injured. after they were shot, authorities say that the suspect entered a home on a nearby street and shot a mother and her 9-year-old daughter tianna.

the accused gunman is 19-year-old keith moses. according to the orange county sheriff's office he has been arrested nearly 20 times before. he is now facing three first-degree murder charges among others. joining us now and speaking out together, the parents of 9-year-old tianna major, tokyo and brandy major, parents of dylan lyons, gary beth lyons, as well as dylan's fiance casey and their attorney, mark. good morning. thank you. i am so sorry for your loss. let's just get through this and honor your loved ones. so, thank you for joining us this morning. brandy and tokyo, i am going to start with you. tell us about tianna. tokyo, why don't you go first. >> she was my everything. hi, my name is tokyo. my dur was everything to me. also my wife and sop.

she was so sweet and energetic. she loved going on walks with me and mom and our dog. at the age of 3 we took her to try out for gymnastics. you see she loved it. so we kept her in it. she was great, as you can see. by the medals around my neck, a total of 26. she was smart. we read to her every night. s we studied until we got her grades up. she loved gabby douglas over a million titles. i named her my little gabdy douglas. i know she was going to be my little olympian. i miss her so dearly. i can't sleep. i am lost. feel like my heart and soul is

gone. she was my everything. she was may ma-ya. she cook with me. she was my whole world. i did everything in my body to make her happy. she made me a goodr dad, a gymnastic dad. i will always be her dad. yaya was strong. she was my world. >> that was my baby. she was my angel. she was my twin. >> brandy, i know you want to speak about yaya. you were shot as well. how are you doing? >> yes. i'm doing better.

but it gets better and better every day. my heart hurts more than anything. sometimes i just wish it -- i could have took every bullet for her and she could be here and still shining and showing y'all how great she is. it's so hard for me. i took her to school every morning. i picked her up from school every morning. i miss her so much. when we get in the car we would tell each other how much we miss each other and it was only a few hours. i'm just dying inside. i'm dying. >> i am so sorry. i'm so, so sorry. gary and beth, i see you are dealing with your own hurt and i

see that you are there trying to help another family. what do you want everyone to know about dylan? beth, why don't you go first? >> that he was the most wonderful person. the most wonderful son in the world. he what help anybody before himself. he wanted to get this story out ther there. didn't make a difference of your color k your religion, your money. he was there for everybody. he was just the apple of my eye. he was a mama's boy that would do anything for me. anything for me in the world. i was -- when dylan died, i died. i died. half of me died. he was just the most wonderful son, person in the world. and then when he met casey, he was so happy. he said, mom, i met my dream girl.

i met my dream girl. he wanted to marry her and have their children together. he was so happy after he met casey. he was the most wonderful son. and when he met her, he treated her the same way. it is just a heartbreak. he wanted to get the story out there for other people, for anybody. he would just do anything for anybody. and it's not right that i'm sitting here. it's just not right. >> it's not. i'm so sorry. >> he is supposed to be on tv. not us. >> right. that was his dream to make it to new york. and everybody said as a young journalist, he would. he was a go getter. a go getter. and he was so kind to people when he was interviewed. the day before he was killed, he -- someone said that they

have confidence in journalists because he was so kind, the way he interviewed the person. i don't know what else to say. he was just the most wonderful son in the world. >> yeah. casey, if you can speak right now. i know you lost your fiance, the love of your life. what do you want people to know about dylan? >> i'm sorry. it popped out of my ear. >> for casey. >> okay. sorry. it popped out of my ear. >> dylan was what i always dream of. i always wanted a man like him. and it took a long time to find him. and i'm just so devastated that it was ripped from me so, so early. we had so many plans and we were so excited just to live our life

together with our family and grow with that family, cadding a baby and another baby. we wanted to have three babies. we have the names picked out already. we just -- we were so happy. >> i know that you are going to try now, correct, to make part of that dream come true? >> yes. and i am completely devastated he won't be here with me. yes. it's all we ever wanted. >> gary, what do you want to say? >> i just want to say dylan was my only son. he was an exemplary son, brother, uncle to my daughter's children. he used to do everything in the world for them.

and it was taken -- he was taking care of casey. he was great to casey. loved casey. dylan loved being a journalist. he always wanted to tell the story for the people who weren't there, to tell them, to hear the story. it's about the bonding between our families. we are bonded forever because of this tragedy and we want change in america. we want change because this should never happen. this person should never have had a gun. our lives are forever broken-hearted. we have cried with tokyo and brandi, shared each other's lives, stories about our children. we are fathers and mothers and fiances who have lost such -- our lives will never be the same and we just want change this america. >> mark, you know, gary mentioned he should never have had a gun.

there are very strong reasons why you took this case to help these families. talk to us about that. >> thank you, don. the family all believes they have been political pawns and it's just a shame that people are exploiting their children's deaths. there has been a seemingly political vendetta going on by senator rick scott and governor desantis against a local prosecutor, monique worrell claiming it was because of her that he was on the streets. as we understand it, any of his prior juvenile offenses, none of which in florida are considered convictions, took place before her administration and the only case that took place during her administration was 4.6 grams of marijuana, a misdemeanor, which had nothing to do with this case. for them so seize and exploit these families' pain and misery

and avoid the issue, sane and responsible gun legislation in america, which we do not have. and we see those like desantis and those like scott promoting -- i mean, they are talking about open carry laws now in florida. that's only going to lead to more misery and death. this is the face of the victims who get routinely murdered in the united states. this doesn't happen anywhere else in the world. we've got to do something more than we are doing. and part of the reason that we're here is so that america could see the face of grieving families who have lost their loved ones. and we just have to stop this insanity and stop using children and victims as political pawns as these self-serving politicians seem to be doing. >> listen -- >> don, could i say something? >> yes, please.

>> it's just that we have heard from politicians, heard from the sheriff, we've heard from so many people, yet we haven't heard from our governor or our senator who seemed to want to publicize it for their own ambitions or affiliations. they are fathers. they have children. how could they be socalous as to not even call us and extend their sympathy that we've lost, regardless if you are democrat, republican, white or black, doesn't make a difference. we lost our chirp and not have anybody to call us to reach out to say we are sorry i thought was so cold. >> if i could? the comments have been no comment. and they had a lot to say previously until they were called out. so we are just hoping that these lost souls, these children of these beautiful people who i have gotten to know and they are

just amazing. they are america. and we have to stop this. and they are brave enough to come forward and share their stories with the country and with the world and, hopefully, more sanity will start taking over where we have got to stop this love we have of guns. >> mark, thank you. i know that there is, you know, you mentioned the children and, casey, you are trying to carry on, as i mentioned, you want to have a kid without your loved one and you are able to secure that. so, hopefully, that works out. mark, you said there is a gofundme, right? >> yeah. what's happened is casey is beyond broken up. they were able to harvest dylan's semen. they had the presence of mind after he was killed. and so it's being preserved and

she wants to have their baby together. so she has gone ahead, casey fite on gofundme to secure funds so that that miracle could continue in his legacy can live on and all the families have gofundme accounts under the names of their children. and so we ask the public to consider because they have to move forward. so each one has a gofundme account under their name, under t'yonna and dylan and now casey. so thank you. >> thank you so much thank you, tokiyo, brandi, beth, gary, casey. be well. i am so sorry for your loss. i can't even imagine doing what you just did and what you are going through. but thank you so much. god bless you. >> thank you.

the man who has been accused of threatening to kill jewish state officials in michigan is making a court appearance in a matter of moments. jack carpenter made threats online and had plans to go to michigan to carry them out. the fbi also says that he wrote posts supporting an anti-government extremist movement, it's been classified as domestic terrorism. omar jimenez has this report. >> reporter: the threats were allegedly posted on the internet from out of state by suspect jack eugene carpenter iii. i am heading back to michigan now threatening to carry out the punishment of death to anyone that is jewish in the michigan government. if they don't leave or confess and now. later adding, any attempt to subdue me will be met with

deadly force in self-defense. court documents show his mother told investigators he had three handguns, a 12 gauge shotgun and two rieflts. a law enforcement source tells cnn among those specifically targeted michigan attorney general dana nessel. she says the fbi has confirmed that i was a target of the heavily armed defendant in this matter. she is the second high-ranking michigan official to be targeted in recent years after a plot to kidnap governor gretchen whitmer was foiled in 2020. this time it was allegedly about more than one official. >> this is in the wheelhouse of what the fbi and director wray have told us they think is the most dangerous, the most concerning threat it that they face on the counter terror side. >> reporter: the suspect allegedly posted a declaration of sovereignty claiming a country he called new israel according to the fbi, encompassing a nine mile radius around his home. because of this no one in the

government or law enforcement had authority over him. tweeting any crime that has been claimed i committed i am one, immune from prosecution anyway, two, all the evidence is fake. this isn't the first time law enforcement has seen a claim like this. >> it seems to fit the profile of a lone wolf. >> reporter: a former senior counterterrorism official for the u.s. government. whether this threat gets manifested by single individuals posting online like in this particular case or larger groups coming together like they did here in michigan with a plot to kidnap governor whitmer to the extreme end with the insurrection january 6th. we have seen different models of what this threat could look like. this isn't going away anytime soon. >> and that's the concern that officials have. thank you, omar, for that report. we will be following that court appearance today closely. we'll be right back after this.

wait. is it just me? they are doing it, too. >> no, we're not. >> poppy was doing it. >> i was. >> wordle, spelling bee, everyone with a phone was playing hk trivia. now glitch the rise and fall of hk trivia, the story behind the game show app and how it crashed and burned in record time. here is a preview. >> three, two, one. >> this is hq. i'm scott, the host. hq trivia was everywhere. >> you could actually win real money. >> it just got so popular. the app is not ready to work. >> and it crashes. >> that's when the cracks started showing. >> russ and colin were polar opposites. >> there was jealousy. >> it leads to chaos. >> so joining us now the director of glitch. good morning. >> good morning. >> good to see you.
