tried again if he's acquitted in this case, even if new evidence surfaces, including sierra lamar's body. a lot of testimony in the trial was difficult to hear.fá prosecutors told about the dna found in garcia torres's car and his dna found on her clothing. that was graphic testimony. his lawyers tried to convince the jury that evidence was tainted, that investigators were sloppy when they cleblthed it, and they also tried to convince the jury the 15-year-old is home. that's why there is no body. the jury deliberated for just a day and a half, without testimony from garcia torres himself. and lamar's best friend says only one thing would be better than a guilty verdict. >> i would rather him talk. honestly, anything toht help u find where she is exactly would be more, i guess, fulfilling or like a better end to it than a

guilty verdict, because that's not the end, right? >> the jury of six women and six men will read their verdict at 9:00 this morning here at the hall of justice. and in addition to the murder charges in the case of sierra lamar, garcia torres also faces three attempted kidnapping charges in the cases of three ñ years befor lamar disappeared. two courtrooms are set up inside. we'll have crews inside there and bring you the verdict as soon as itsxozmes down. we'll break in live right here after today in the bay. in san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay. >> thank you. a lot of angles to the case. we have team cosage of the murder case. >> joining us live on set isçó r legal analyst, attorney dean johns a big day for the bay area. we have been waiting for this. the defense brought up the manner of cross contamination on the dna evidence found on garcia torres' car. they're saying that there was some contamination there.

is that enough of a defense? >> well, no, it certainly worked wellçó for o.j. simpson.q/+ñ yeah, cross contamination can be a good defense, but it's probably the weakest defense in this kind of case.t( what you really want to do is wrap a storyline around the prosecution's evidence and say, yeah, this is true, but it doesn't prove guilt. you don't have that alternative here. what you have to do is attack each piece of evidence on its own terms. and create a cloud of doubt around that. >> let me take the inverse of that question. how compel sg the dna evidence found on the trunk and the clothing? >> on the surface, it becomes very compelling. for example, you have a rope with the victim's hair found in the defendant's trunk. if you look at that just quickly, you say, geez, that'sra slam dunk for the prosecution. but if you look at it more closely, maybe not. because you can argue that=)ñ h was put onc later by accident, and if this rope was part of the

murder plan, it should have a lot of dna evidence on it, not just a hu)pr). coa double-edged sword. >> is it surprising the time that the jury is coming back at all? >> yeah, if i were the prosecutor in this case, i would not have slept a wink last night. usually, when%,'ñ jurors come b very quickly in a complex special circumstance murder case, it's an acquittal. again, o.j. simpson is a classic example. >> those are some of the early signs. if they find for a conviction here, whether it's a first degree murder or second degr-ea murder conviction, will it matter in terms of implication for capital punishment? >> absolutely. if it's second degree murder, the sentence is 25 to life. if it's first degreexd murder, plus at least one special circumstance, we proceed to the penalty phase and penalty is on the table. >> what about sierra lamar herself? her body never found. what if they are, could you explain possible double jeopardy, where he would never be tried again. >> hei/k could neverñno beúj tn

assuming he wasmy acquitted in this case. not inoothis court for this murder. he could be tried, for example, for a civil rights violation in federal court, but of course, that doesn't carry the kind of penalties that this case does. >> one we're closely following. us when the verdict comes down at 9:00 this morning. >>ño'>2ñ and dean, we'll be doi facebook live after our show. join us for that as well and stay with nbc bay area for continuing coverage of the sierra lamar murder trial.um we're expecting a verdict coming up here at 9:00 this morning. 7'd we'll bring into our coverage live and also be sending out a push alert if you have our nbc bay area app. >> we're following breaking news out of the east bay. a fallen tree causes power ñ e. pete suratos has been live at what's going on now, pete? >> good morning to you. what we know according to pg&e, there are 482 people without power in this danvilleó
