12:00 pm
you. happy 80th birthday. thanks for being part of the "the real story" today. i'm gretchen carlson. tgif. have a great weekend. >> russia is now accusing the ukrainians of committing a bloody crime and promisingiev will bay for it. the ukrainians say the kremlin is trying to start world war iii. talk about rhetoric. the russian leader, vladimir putin, said if he were drowning he thinks president obama itch he would save him. today a report asked president obama that very question. wait until you hear what he said. >> having a few drinks on an airplane is not a crime but getting to wasted you try to get into the cockpit and the pilots sent out a hijacking alert, now we have a problem.
12:01 pm
>> at long last, it's friday. smith. to the fox news deck. lawyers for the man who killed two teenage intruders are trying to convince the jury that any reasonable person would do the exact same thing. any reasonable person would shoot two teenagers nine times. that's despite the prosecution's claim he had it in for the teens, carefully planned the killings and waited not hours but a full day before he even called the police. the man's name is byron smith. he claims he killed the teens in self-defense when they broke into his moment in minnesota in 2012. his defense team is now making its case after the prosecution wrapped. their last witness was a forensicses expert. she testified the gunman shot these teamage cows south carolina total of nine times at close range between six and 12 inches away. state law does allow the use of deadly force in minnesota. to defend yourself and your home. but the prosecutors say this crosses the line.
12:02 pm
and this, they say, is murder in the first degree. they say the man parked his truck away from his house so it looked like nobody was home. they say he waited in his base up. with an audio recorder rolling, just waiting for the teens to break in. one of them reportedly had broken in several times before and, sure enough, it happened. prosecutors say he shot the first teen the moment he stepped into the basement. they say the man then shot him again. this time in the head. at close range. more than ten minutes passed before he reloaded his gun and that when the audio recording captured the second teenager call ought for a her cousin. he shot her. she tumbled down the basement stairs. you can hear her killer tell the wounded teen, sorry about that, and then, you're dying, and he called her a bitch. the forensics expert says the man then killed her with a close-range shot to the head. what he later told investigators war a good clean finishing shot. prosecutors say that is what makes this murder.
12:03 pm
that he killed the intruders after the threat was gone. that's against the law. the man told cops he fired the last shot because he didn't think the teens should suffer. vicky zigler, trial attorney, is here. lea, what ahead today. >> the defense teen making the case that buy rob smith feared for his life because of a string of four burglaries where some of his weapons were stolen. today the defense team called their first witness, a sheriff's deputy. he had looked into a burglary at byron's residence that happened less than a month before the shooting take place. he said they met mid-november and schussed surety cameras. a defense team also submitted two memos as part of the case today. they are memos that myth had written to local police asking for help and listing things stolen including two guns. >> a lot of evidence for the defense to deal with. >> that's right. basically the defense is saying that the prosecution has
12:04 pm
provided absolutely no evidence that shows that smith knew there would be intruders the day of the shooting. the defense -- i spoke with the defense attorney today by phone and he told me that the media mass been showing these nice pictures of the two intruders but that's not the image smith saw he day of the shooting. >> didn't see how they looked when they came in. he saw them walking down the stairway, hoods around their faces and gloves on their hands, and he did not see that surveillance monitor, according to the police, wasn't in that room. >> smith's attorney also told me that smith's adrenaline was pumping to sadr he completely lost track of the number of shots he fired. he said he just wanted to make sure the intruders couldn't hurt him and the defense plans to call a private investigator as their next witness. >> a bit to go there, lea, thank you. vicki zigler is with us, trial attorney and frequent on the program.
12:05 pm
the part i'm interested in, if i'm a juror, this part. he shot the girl, and she was down, and he called her a bitch, told her she was guying and then put the gun to her head and finished her off. between the first shot and the second shot, is that's where premeditation begins or is i this not a murder one case. >> it's a difficult case to prove as relates to premeditation but doesn't mean this is a murder case. the question becomes when -- you have self-defense claimed. what actually justified, what was reasonable? the first shot to each perpetrator? probably. that was most likely self-defense because you can -- you're allowed to kill somebody or at least try to protect yourself if you're in grave harm. the question becomes, nine bullets collectively. how are you in fear enwhen you going up to your perpetrator and shooting point plank range to kill them. even a most mortem wound. that's my biggest challenge. the question is not so much a
12:06 pm
premeditation issue as was it justified, reasonable, anyone else in that circumstance do the same thing? i don't know anyone on this jury could say they could actually kill two teen onliners. -- teenagers. it's a very complicated legal case. >> it's complicated and yet the jury is going to have to decide whether there was premeditation. >> they have to, right. they were already instructed on that. question question becomes he was lying and waiting in the basement. he had the audio recorder set up. had a candy bar and was waiting. waiting for them to do what? kill them or maim them? protect his own self and his house. that is what they have to really take a look at opposite they hear all of the evidence. >> you might ask, was he protecting himself when he moved his car away? was he protecting himself when he let the dead children stay in his house overnight before calling police the next day. >> moving the bodies. >> is that relevant? >> all relevant. all cumulative evidence they have to take into consideration.
12:07 pm
promeditation can take one sect. in that split second when he had one shot into the teenager, the female, then the next one, he could say, oh, my god, let me call the police. he didn't do that. moved the body, tampered with the crime scene, also, the neighbor called the police. he didn't even call the police. >> i spoke with the defense attorney today and they do have answers for this. he did say he wasn't lying in wait for them. he heard a window break and was scared. he said the audio roaring was part of the surveillance system put in after the string of burglaries. so i think we'll hear a lot of this testimony, a lot from the defense team that may answer those questions. >> and we'll look forward to that. i'm guessing when the prosecutor gets to closing that prosecutor will talk about the time between when the first shot went off. >> the ballistics and time frame will be crucial to determine if it was premeditation or lesser murder charge. >> thank you both.
12:08 pm
we'll have more on this on monday. >> more heartbreak now in south korea. divers searching that sunken passenger ferry say that last week, when it was packed with high school students, they say they've now found 48 bodies huddled together in a single room. each was wearing a life jacket. they were ready, they wanted out, and they cooperate get out -- they couldn't get out. meanwhile, the south korean government is admitted it accidentally sent the wrong remains to the wrong family. well, the right remains but to the wrong family. no one realized the mistake until the remains were at the funeral home. the government task force has an action plan to keep this from happening again. here's the latest on the search. divers have gone through 35 of the ferry's 111 rooms and recovered 183 bodies, 119 people are still missing. amid all of this, president obama arrived earlier today in south korea. he said his trip came at a time of great sorrow. he said he is donating a

between the west and russia of the crisis in ukraine. some analysts say missile interceptors is not the answer. jennifer griffin is joining us live from the pentagon. hello. >> hi. well in 2009, president obama scratched plans developed by the bush administration to put ground-based missile interceptors in poland and a sophisticated radar system in the czech republic in order to reset relations with russia which viewed the system as a threat. now some in congress want president obama to put missile defense on the front burner. quote, the obama administration has been unable to counter this escalate of putin's aggressive posture. they've have been defensive, unsure, and enable koko change putin's course of action. >> vladimir putin is not threatening to fire missionle at anybody. missiles might make us feel good
12:43 pm
but won't deter him from going into ukraine. >> in other words, missile defense, according to analysts, is the wrong tool to stop putin in ukraine where he deployed conventional ground troops. >> that seems silly. the tripes are less than a mail from the border. you don't need a missile. >> that's right. and they don't need missile defense. >> not going to use missiles, you don't need missile defense. it's nice to see you, jennifer. >> thank you. >> today a reporter asked the president whether he actually would save russian president putin if he were drowning. last week putin said he thinks president obama would save him. was he right? >> i absolutely would save mr. putin if he were drowning. i'd like to think that if anybody is out there drowning, i'm going to save them. i used to be a pretty good swimmer. i grew up in hawai'i. >> what do people expect him to say?
12:44 pm
i would let the man die. that would be politically brilliant. admitted he is out of practice. he says he is ready to slap russia with more financial punishment if moscow doesn't back dune on eastern ukraine. chris wallace is with us. i get it, little fun back and forthwith this guy messing with ukraine. surely more important things to talk about, for instance, ukraine. >> well, yeah. and what is very interesting is that a week ago, when we were talking, the u.s. had just work out the deal with the umpan union and ukraine and russia that would be a deescalation, see the pro-russian separatists pull out of the buildings they occupied in eastern ukraine. they were going to lay down arms. the ukrainians were going to create more autonomy in eastern eastern ukraine. nothing has happened. particularly the separatists have continued to maintain their occupation in the buildings.
12:45 pm
now the ukrainians are starting to move against the separatists. there's been a couple of firefights. the russian officials are threatening reprisal. they're up against the border so the situation is worse a week after the deal in geneva, not better. >> the rhetoric has turned up. the ukrainian leader saying that russia is trying to start world war iii, the russians say the ukrainians are going to pay. it's gotten really dicey and nasty. >> well, yeah. and we're so close to a miscalculation. one step by the ukrainians to try to take back parts of their own country, which they are supposedly in control of in eastern ukraine, and that could be the match that lights the fuse that sets off a russian invasion, and in this whole situation, some people are saying, where is the president? back a week ago they said it was a matter of days, and they made it sound sooner rather than later if the russians didn't keep up and the separatists didn't keep their part of the bargain, we would impose
12:46 pm
sanctions. a week later no new sanctions use, hey started talking about new sanctions today. >> yes. the president talked to some of the european leaders and even if they do impose sanctions, it's not not the sector wide sanctions, mining or energy, which would hurt their economy. it is individuals and individual banks that are having an effect on the russian economy but not much effect and not slowing down the russians or their supporters inside eastern ukraine. >> did you hear that -- earlier in this hour the pentagon informed us that defense secretary hagel tried to call his counterpart in russian and nobody can get in touch with anyone over there and i they won't return the calls. seems unusual. >> it has happened before, and it would hurt my feelings if i called my russian counterpart on the russian forks news sunday and he wouldn't take my call.
12:47 pm
