10:07 am
situation. should the negotiations with iran be conditioned on their sponsorship of terror and recognition and future recognition and previous threats against israel. and imprisonment of americans and the list goes on and on. and in this case you have a bipartisan fragile coalition that is broken up. and you will so democrats peeling off that bill and what that goal is that want congress to have a role in the deal and say in the final outcome to deep this together and get the 67 votes. no matter what president obama does there is a veto majority. >> and you will so the democrats peel off they will not have that anymore and not have a strong hand against this. this is a tricky process. you will see a lot of amendments

10:36 am
someone is sane? >> it is going to be expert driven. they will present it to them on the mental state. the case turns on whether or not the jurors believes he was legally sane at the time of the killing. colorado is unique. the burred ep is on the prosecution. if you look at legal insanity is not a successful defense. and less successful when you talk about a murder case. if you couple that with with pre-meditation evidence you will find he was sane and pre-meditated and not a psychotic break. >> we tonight know what the prosecutor has planned. but what would you imagine they will do? >> the prosecution has to hit home. all of the planning that went in the episode, and when you look
10:37 am
at month and weeks of planning and stock piling of ammunition and purchase of the guns and booby trapped his own apartment and law enforcement would find them and they would blow themselves up. this is a journey of an evil person and if i am prosecuting the case i am holding up the picture of the victim. 12 people who he killed and a six year old child and 70 people he injured. did he have it after this person and one logical conclusion. he deserves the death penalty. >> what does the defense have to do at this point? >> the defense is obviously going to argue that he had a psychotic break and couldn't formulaate the intent because he was crazy. there is a difference between
10:38 am
mentally ill and legally insane. he is mentally ill. and he has a documented history. and looking at him in the first few court appearance. and eyes were glades over. and he was looking out in to space. and it is that the jurors find he was mentally ill. if they knew he believed the difference of right and wrong. >> what if he is found not guilty by reason of insanity. >> he will be housed in a state run mental facility probably the rest of his life. but legally until he is no longer insane. chances of that are slim to none. not as good as being behind bars. >> say he is given the death
10:39 am
penalty can the defense appeal? nabsolutely. and i can tell you the grounds for defense is that they he did not get a fair trial because the judge did not order a change of venue. the state ordered 9000 prospective jurors. bow know that everyone questioned the jurors and the issue is not if they heard about the case or not. everyone has. even if move it to a different jurisdiction. the question is can they look at the evidence? >> and if that is what occurs how long could that be drawn out? >> the appeal process could be drawn out 20 years if necessary.
