the phoenix area swallowed up by a giant dust storm packing 60 miles an hour winds. flights are grounded. power is knocked out to thousands. what a mess "early" this wednesday morning, july 6th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs thanks for joining us here on "the early show." beautiful wednesday morning out there in new york. i'm erica hill. >> i'm chris wragge. where do we begin? >> the casey anthony came at 2:00 eastern afternoon. folks wakiing up and talking about and so are we. three years after caylee anthony was reported missing her mother was found not guilty in a florida courtroom and we begin our coverage with correspondent

troy roberts of "48 hours mystery" who is outside the courthouse in orlando. troy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. against all odds, casey anthony beat the most serious charges against her. tomorrow, she will be sciencent to lying to investigators but may be released on time served. after 31 days of testimony, 91 witnesses, and less than 11 hours of deliberation, the jury deciding the case against casey anthony finally reached its verdict. >> we, the jury, find the defendant not guilty. >> reporter: as the 25-year-old wept in court, the jury cleared her of all three charges related to her 2-year-old daughter caylee's death. first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse. after a moment of celebration with her defense team, anthony's lead attorney jose baez said justice was served. >> casey did not murder caylee. it's that simple.

today, our system of justice has not dishonored her memory by a false conviction. >> reporter: it was a trial that captivated the media and much of the nation. across orlando, bars and restaurants were packed with viewers. while a passionate crowd of hundreds reacted to the not guilty verdict outside the orange county courthouse. >> justice for caylee! >> the most well documented liar ever seen in a courtroom! >> reporter: sdordistrict attor pend their case on casey's pathological lying and but no dna or fingerprints linking casey to the crime. >> this was a dry bones case. very, very difficult to prove. our mountain of evidence did not illuminate in the jury's view every reasonable doubt. >> reporter: her defense team claimed the 2-year-old

accidentally drowned in the family pool and that george anthony, caylee's grandfather helped cover it up. an allegation he denied. after the verdict an attorney for george anthony released a statement saying despite the baseless defense chosen by casey anthony, the family believes the jury made a fair decision based on the evidence presented. the jury of seven women and five men declined to comment on the controversial decision. >> show us how caylee died and that was important. no one could answer that. >> reporter: an alternate juror said something didn't add up and called the anthony family dysfunctional. >> the family knows a lot more than what came out at the trial. >> reporter: george and cindy anthony's attorney says the family has received numerous death threats and unclear whether they will attend their daughter's hearing tomorrow.

>> also in the courthouse is vinnie politan, an anchor for "in session." ear in the stued is jennifer barringer who has been consulting with the defense team during the trial. good morning. >> good morning. >> i start with you in new york. jennifer, were you confident all along the prosecution was never going to be able to directly link casey anthony with the death of her daughter? >> i knew they wouldn't be able to actually link her, but i was a little concerned that maybe a jury would not apply the law as properly as this jury had. i mean, oftentimes, it's a very emotional case and, of course, a tragedy. if they became emotional, there is no way it know which way they would go. as you can tell, everybody has a big stake in this case. >> reporter: vinnie is a former prosecutor. you seemed fairly confident the prosecution had done a really sound swrob. you mentioned the way the jury was reacting to the defense giving you an idea maybe this would not be good for the defense. of course, things happened

otherwise. anything as a former prosecutor you think the prosecution should have done differently? >> reporter: not at all. not at all. it comes down to reasonable doubt. you know? this is a criminal defendant's best friend. it's our system, it is the foundation of our system, reasonable doubt. this jury found it reasonable to believe that a grandfather would see his granddaughter drown in an innocent matter with no criminal liability and take that innocent accident and cover it up to frame his own daughter for first-degree murder and watch her have to battle a potential death penalty. they found it reasonable. under our system, she's not guilty. >> jennifer, jose baez took his fair share of criticism throughout this trial. but in the end, really kind of emerges as a guy who really played this, an attorney who played this very well. you mentioned the court of public opinion had convicted her long ago but he was able to provide enough doubt in the jurors minds that they were able to respond the way they did.

>> that's right. i think the problem that the state had was that you don't have a jury looking for a murderer if you can't prove murder to begin with. so, most likely -- we don't know what the jury hung on, but one of the alternate came out and even though he didn't deliberate, he came out and said they couldn't prove cause of death and if we're all talking about chloroform, the tape, all of these other things that were so salacious. but i imagine the jury didn't even get to discuss those because they couldn't get to murder. if you can't get there, you're not looking for a murderer. >> we will talk more about this. hang on for one veked. three years the mystery of caylee's death captivated people around the country. the reaction is incredible and no wonder so many strong reactions to this verdict. that was i think a collective gasp that we heard yesterday when the decision finally came down. i want to, right now, take a quick look at the reaction nationwide at this trial from

start-to-finish. take a look and then we will come back. >> i'm done. >> what is the 3-year-old's name? >> caylee. anthony. >> reporter: this case has stirred deep emotions here in orlando. >> oh, no you don't! >> reporter: the trial continues to captivate people following online and on television. >> i started following it the very first day. >> they were still just as eager to get an inside spot to see the courtroom drama unfold. >> people don't make accidents look like murder! >> justice for caylee! justice for caylee! >> will the defendant rise, along with counsel? >> as to count i we the jury find the defendant not guilty. >> oh, come on! that is not right! >> not guilty. this jury has found casey anthony not responsible for the death of her daughter caylee marie anthony. >> today, our system of justice has not dishonored her memory by a false conviction.

>> that poor little girl doesn't have justice. somebody murdered that child. >> she doesn't have to face the consequence. >> she deserves to rot in hell. >> this is like over and over again. >> my goodness! caylee! >> analysts believe it came town to reasonable doubt. >> we are disappointed with the verdict today and surprised. >> they did not prove their case. >> it seemed like the state just didn't connect the dots on reasonable doubt. >> almost certain on thursday, this judge is going to release her. >> a god up in heaven that is bigger than that judge up there! and that stupid jury! she can run, but she can't hide! god will get her! >> i mean, the raw emotion which you saw there which really has been with us for years at this point. i want to take a closer look at that angle of this. vinnie politan and jennifer barringer still with us. you're outside the courthouse covering this, vinnie. was it as raw and, in some cases, almost asbestos it seemed

in the tapes we saw? >> it was absolutely raw. that feeling continued through the night. i was at the courthouse when it happened and later on in the evening, i went to the site of caylee's remains and it was the same thing but a little bit more somber at night. you saw families with children and people all coming by because they couldn't believe what happened. number one. number two, they wanted to show their respect for this little girl. remember, this community searched for this girl because this little girl's mother said she was missing. and that is where the investment began. it began with a lie and, yesterday, it ended with this not guilty verdict. >> jennifer, like we have seen in the piece and like vinnie has mentioned, there is public outrage and this woman is reviled by millions of people and kind of the way it is right now. there is still a little girl here who is dead and that is what this supcenterpiece of thi entire thing. where does this go now? so many questions that remain. >> well, i think for casey, i

mean, that is the big question. why is she going to go and live? the family dynamics are now completely in upheaval. i was thinking about that myself last night. i mean, this is a girl who doesn't have a car or pair of shoes or anything. where is she going to go? everyone hates her so much. looking at that tape, it is amazing how invested everyone is, but they have really been following this and they feel very invested in it. >> the general consensus is probably that people feel she got away with murder. how do you overcome something like that? >> i don't know that you do. she's going to have a very tough time now, because, you know, people were very agitated to begin with. you know, the state really did not have an ironclad case. that was the problem like i said. it wasn't about whether she did it. it was whether it was done at all. was it an accident? was it murder? if you can't go there, this jury really properly applied the law and in a dispassionate way which is very rare for a jury.

i know a lot of people say this is very common but it's not. >> especially in a case like this people have been invested so long and despite the fact they were brought in from another area and is a questioe sequestered. we will look at this closer. jennifer, great to have you in the studio today. vinnie, thanks for your time. >> thank you. more coming up. a look at whether or not the system worked. there is a lot of that in terms of questions this morning. so we will check in with jack ford on that a little while later. jeff glor is standing by with a check of some of the other headlines on this wednesday morning. good morning. president obama wants congressional leaders at the white house tomorrow to work on a budget cutting deal that would raise the nation's debt limit potentially. cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plante has more from the white house this morning. bil bill. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. the president is trying to raise the heat on congress to get a deal done in the next two weeks. the main point of his briefing

yesterday was to voice his opposition to the idea of a short-term deal that is gaining a lot of support on capitol hill. >> i've heard reports that there may be some in congress who want to do just enough to make sure that america avoids defaulting on our debt in the short term, but then wants to kick the can down the road when it comes to solving the larger problem of our deficit. i don't share that view. i don't think the american people here sent us here to avoid tough problems. it's, in fact, what drives them nuts about washington. >> reporter: the president said he had talked to members of congress over the holiday weekend and made some progress. he insisted again on what he calls a balanced approach, which he defines as cuts in domestic spending, defense, and entitlements but includes eliminating some tax breaks and deductions for high earners. >> this will require both parties to get out of our

comfort zones and both parties to agree on real compromise. >> reporter: house speaker john boehnerers response, i'm happy to discuss these issues at the white house but such discussions will be fruitless until the president recognizes economic and legislative reality. everyone's public position remains the same. in private, there is some progress being made on both sides. the president hopes everybody will leave their you will mateums at the door tomorrow. >> bill, thank you very much. now believed an poil in montana's yellowstone river spread up to 240 miles. the government says exxonmobil must fix the ruptured pipeline and follow strict safety rules to restart it. cbs news correspondent barry petersen is in laurel, montana, with the latest on this. barry, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. well, the river is cresting which is sending more spill to oil downstream. and into the marshes and small areas, fed by the yellowstone.

exxonmobil says nearly 300 people are working on the cleanup from the burst pipeline that dumped some 42,000 gallons of crude into the yellowstone. >> we understand this is a very serious event. we understand that we need to get our full arms around where the areas are. >> reporter: exxon is facing pressure from angry politicians, including montana's governor who toured the river. >> some of that water that is containing oil is already in north dakota and those low lands are a treasure trove of biologies for the yellowstone river. >> reporter: in may, they raised potential concern about the pipeline of a speed and rising river swollen by a record snow melt amount. exxonmobil closed it briefly but then said its assessment showed the line would be okay and reopened it. indeed, it's now believed that the strength of the swollen river and the debris it carried may have scoured the pipeline until it ruptured.

oil is big business here. it's one reason montana has escaped the worst of the recession. that said, there's growing resentment that exxon was so slow in telling people how big or how bad the oil spill was. jeff? >> barry peterersen, thank you. arizona waking up this morning after a wild scene yesterday. a massive sandstorm rolled through phoenix more than a mile and a half high. and 50 miles wide! the dust forced drivers to slow down a lot and it did ground some flights. time lapse video actually shows that storm descending on phoenix. the national weather service says that storm was driven by winds of more than 60 miles an hour. enveloping the area yesterday. 16 minutes past the hour right now. marysol castro is here with our first check of the weather. >> crazy pictures there.

good morning. we start off with a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. a stall on the incline section of the bridge about one-third of the span up. so it looks like it's still there possibly blocking one

lane. bridge crews are aware of it and are working to clear it now. it's backed up to the macarthur maze. southbound 680 before north main street, we have an accident here in walnut creek and it is blocking a couple of lanes. so traffic is growing stacked up about a mile and a half according to members of the kcbs phone force. we just took calls from shawn and george letting us know about the backups there. san mateo bridge westbound looks okay but eastbound 92 a stall approaches the toll plaza so it's backing up. that's a look at weather. let's check on traffic with elizabeth. >> thank you. thanks, shawn and george. great for you to call in. hope you enjoy the weather out there. cooler temperatures outside patchy fog in the bay but that's compressed right down to the surface so it's going to be hot inland. 90s well inland, 70s and 80s around the bay, 90 in san jose today. 60s at the coastline with the patchy fog. looks like temperatures slowly cooling over the next couple of days. cooler over the weekend.

welcome back to "the early show" here on a wednesday morning. coming up, a new tabloid battle in britain. the public and the prime minister taking on the biggest sunday newspaper, the "news of the world" is accused of hacking and tap tampering of phone messages of a missing girl later found murdered. >> authorities want to find out if the alleged hacking hampered the investigation. they are looking into reported police payoff by the newspaper. we go to london for the latest op. the case and we'll speak with hugh grant who had his voice mail hacked by "news of the world." he'll join us later. first president obama meets with congressional leaders to break the log jam over raising the federal debt limit. the president wants a long-term

solution for the government's budget problems. >> i've heard reports that there may be some in congress who want to do just enough to make sure that america avoids defaulting on our debt in the short term, but then wants to kick the can down the road when it comes to solving the larger problem of our deficit. i don't share that view. >> joining us this morning to talk about how maybe something can get done here from capitol hill senator dick durbin of illinois, number two democrat in the senator and i think we're finalizing some mikes there. we should good to go. senator corker i want to begin with you. what will, there's been so much talk yesterday from the president saying everybody leave your deals at the door.

>> i believe the cap act and senator durbin has been working with bipartisan groups, most of us see this as a tremendous opportunity for our country to really change the level of spending that we have and really reduce deficits in the future. >> if this is a tremendous opportunity, why has it taken so long? why are we facing this limit which is an extended limit and so many people looking at the 112th congress and say what have you been doing? why not take that opportunity months ago to prevent being here? i couldn't agree more. i've offered something at the beginning of the year with claire mccaskill from missouri. we haven't had a budget for 798 days. we haven't gone through the budget process so look i couldn't agree more. it's the most dysfunctional place i've ever been in, in my life and my hope is over the next month or so we can rectify

that, move ahead, do some great things for our country while we have this wonderful opportunity to do so. >> senator durbin i want to bring you in, member of the gang of six, working on this for a long time. the meeting tomorrow with the president what is going to be different this time? house speaker john boehner questions the usefulness of the meeting. >> i think it's a good, valid question. i've been involved in this for a year and a half, the whole year on the president's deficit fiscal commission, three republican senators vote with us, a buy-in, bipartisan buy-in for a way to reduce the deficit. the gang of six got with us, unfortunately senator coburn walked away from it. we tried to engage other members, democrats and republicans. we both have to sit down and be honest. each side has to give. to say there is no person so wealthy in america that they couldn't pay a penny more in taxes and no special interest

tax deal so good in america that it couldn't be examined and perhaps reduced is not a good starting point. we've got to be honest, whether it's entitlements or taxes let's be honest. >> the president was clear saying both sides have to leave their ultimatums at the door but he's not budget on the mini deal calling it unacceptable. senator durbin does the president need to leave his ultimatum at the door to set that table for compromise? >> if the president said he would agree to a mini deal the folks would say let's have a mini, mini, my know deal. let's follow the deficit commission which was $4.5 trillion with a bipartisan basis with everything on the table. >> we talked briefly about what has not been done so far by this congress and also looking at the constant back and forth we need to compromise and saying look it seems like a lot of politicians are politicking, they don't want

to be the person who says i'll compromise on that because it may appear unpopular in their party. couldn't that be popular with the american people? if that is incentive senator corker would there be more of a chance of someone standing up saying i'll give you some revenue? >> look i think actually some of the work that senator durbin and others, i agree with hey let's do away with most if not all the $1.2 trillion in tax expenditures and lower everybody's rates. there are two ways of lowering revenues. one is static and one is dynamic. if you make the tax code more simple it creates tremendous economic growth which creates revenue. that is something many of us would be able to work on. i think we have an opportunity. i think the best way for us to reach a deal is both sides to quit bashing each other and let's sit down and have a real

proposal before us, hash it out and do something great for our country while we have this opportunity. >> senator durbin lastly to you, when and we hope it is a when,

britain's tabloid newspapers are known for sensationalism and doing just about anything to get a story. this morning widespread disgust over hacking into the phone messages of a missing teenager who was later found murdered. mark phillips is in london with the latest on the story.

good morning. >> good morning, chris. this is a story about intrusion into celebrities' privacy into the intrusion of a tragic death of a young girl and there are revelations about how far one paper will go to get a story. now it's the families of the victims of the july 7, 2005 london terror attacks who appear to be the targets of overzealous tabloid reporters. one family's unlisted phone number and other in particular found in the notebooks of "news of the world" reporters. the fear is the newspaper was eavesdropping on the desperate emotional conversations the family was having with the police as they tried to determine if their missing son was dead or alive. it started as a scandal about celebrities people like mick jagger, eric clapton, gwen it paltrow, hugh grant, but it was

millie dowler that sparked outrage. the sunday paper is accused of not just listening to her voice mail while she was missing but of deleting messages so that other desperate relatives to be heard. >> it's devastating. >> reporter: the family were given false hope millie was still alive. she was found dead six months after her abduction. at the center of the ugly storm, rebecca brooks, editor of "news of the world" at the time and now runs the murdock newspaper "empire". >> it is absolutely disgusting. >> reporter: the stain of the scandal is seeping into the prime minister's office and there are now legal issues about paying the police for information. people have already gone to jail earlier in this story and' not over yet. >> mark phillips in london thank

you. as you just heard from mark the same tabloid already admitted breaking into the voice mail of a long list of celebrities including actor hugh grant who joins us from london. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> it is public outrage as a result of the case with this missing little girl here. that's what it's going to take to take tabloids like "news of the world" to kind of clean up their act? >> is that what it's going to take, is that what you said? >> public outrage. like you mentioned it was all about celebrities before. now when you're bringing in missing kids is that what it's finally going to take to get something done here? >> i think that's right. yeah i think that's right. this is the watershed moment when finally the public starts to see and feel above all just how low and how disgusting this particular newspaper's methods were and what will emerge shortly is that it wasn't just this newspaper. it was pretty much all our british tabloids i'm ashamed to

see who were keen phone hackers and what's even more -- >> not just "news of the world," this is widespread you're saying? >> that's correct. i bugged back a man from "news of the world" who had phone hacked me. i pretenned i was having an innocent conversation with him and bugged him and got him talking about the whole thing. one of the many interesting things he told me which i wrote up in an article in the british magazine called "the new statesman" which anyone can read online is that it was in fact all the tabloid newspapers were very enthusiastic phone hackers, and then he told me some of the even more chilling stuff about the sinister relationship between particularly the murdock tabloids, news international ones and the metropolitan police who were meant to be investigating phone hacking and basically dragged their feet for a long time, he admitted that money changed hands between the two organizations and he talked about the very unsettling cozy

relationship not only between this prime minister and the murdock news organization but basically all our prime ministers going back to margaret thatcher who realized they can't get elected unless the man who controls 37% of our powerful print media in the country is on the side and they will go through the humiliating hoops to keep rupert as their puppeteer. >> the prime minister condemned the practice and british politicians are debating it in parliament. is this kind of just window dressing are you saying? >> is this what? >> more just window dressing? is there not real merit to their umbrage? >> it's the job of those of us who really care to try to make sure it isn't window dressing. >> the politicians will try to push it into the long grass. this is an enormous national

scandal. the government will try to push it into the long grass because they need murdock on side. without murdock they're sunk, the end of the government. >> hugh, thank you for your time. we'll continue this conversation at a later date. >> sure. >> stay with us. this is "the early show" on cbs. that lasts all day with breakthrough 24 hour hydraiq technology. ♪ absorbs in seconds. ♪ lasts for hours. ♪ new express hydration with hydraiq. part of the essentials range. nivea. a hundred years of skincare for life. nivea. ♪ that comes from a leaf sweet surprise ♪rue love ♪ ♪ it's natural, guilt-free no artificiality ♪ ♪ it won't land on my hips or my thighs ♪ [ announcer ] truvia. honestly sweet.

good morning. traffic is is a mess in both directions through walnut creek. we have had two separate accidents both in different directions on 680 so northbound

and southbound 680 a couple of lanes blocked in both directions. it's especially slow especially southbound towards creek and the 24 interchange. elsewhere san mateo bridge another traffic alert. it is going against the commute. it is eastbound 92 right before you reach the toll plaza. we have a stalled big rig blocking two lanes. it's a slow trip coming out of foster city heading towards the eastshore freeway. the bay bridge we had a stall and an accident cleared but still backed up into the macarthur maze. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's lawrence. >> elizabeth, i have a nice live cam to show you. patchy fog out there right now. you can see it in the bay. notice how thin it is. you're only going to see cooling along the immediate coastline significant cooling anyway. temperatures still going to stay hot inland but no hot 100s. 96 in livermore, 94 in concord. about 90 in san jose. 71, comfortable in san francisco. cooling temperatures for the next few days. ,,,,,,,,

poor lite somebody murdered that child. >> she doesn't have to face the consequences. >> she deserves to rot in hell. >> i can't think about my mom killing me. i mean, she loves me so much. >> wow. jury or no jury, a lot of people still think casey anthony did kill her little girl. you heard it right there. even from kids. coming up, more reaction to the verdict in that murder trial. we'll take a look, too, at why there was such a reaction to it. why people were so attached to it, especially compared to things like the o.j. simpson trial, michael jackson, other high profile defendants who were not convicted although in the court of public opinion, some people had different ideas on those cases as well. welcome back to the "early

show." i'm erica hill along with chris wragge. >> she could be out of jail tomorrow. we talk to troy roberts of "48 hours mystery" who is live in orlando. good to check in with you again, troy. >> nice talking to you, chris. this verdict is a stunning victory for casey anthony but also her attorney jose baez. he was often ridiculed for being in over his head and no match against seasoned prosecutors. he proved his critics wrong. it was a verdict almost nobody expected. >> we the jury find the defendant not guilty. >> reporter: after less than 11 hours of deliberations, a jury cleared casey anthony of all charges related to her daughter caylee. anthony embraced lead attorney jose baez, a former dui attorney, who had practiced for only three year when he was picked at random to defend the 25-year-old murder suspect.

>> while we're happy for casey, there are no winners in this case. caylee has passed on far, far too soon. >> reporter: having spared casey anthony the death penalty, baez said afterwards that justice was served. >> i know i can go home and my daughter will ask me what did you do today, and i can say i saved a life. >> reporter: the verdict and the attorneys' bold statements drew gasps from spectators while a crowd chanted outside the courthouse. the trial, like caylee's 2008 disappearance, captivated the media and the nation. prosecutors stood by their case arguing that anthony murdered her daughter to free herself of the burdens of motherhood. >> we're disappointed with the verdict today and surprised because we know the facts and we put in absolutely every piece of evidence that existed. >> reporter: her defense team claimed the 2-year-old accidentally drowned in the family pool and that george

anthony, caylee's grandfather, helped cover it up. an allegation he denies. the jury of seven women and five men declined to comment after the controversial verdict was read. but an alternate juror said the evidence wasn't there. >> can i show us how caylee died. and that was important. no one could answer that. they didn't have any evidence to back up any of cl claims. >> reporter: casey anthony returns to court tomorrow to be sentenced for lying to investigators. she may be released on time served. chris? >> cbs' troy roberts in orlando for us this morning. thank you. now here's erica. >> the press coverage of this trial reached fever pitch on tuesday. the interest, though, has been building for years. as cbs news legal analyst jack ford tells us it is one more example of justice doubling as entertainment. >> reporter: as they had every day for the past six week, anxious crowds gathered outside an orlando courthouse tuesday

glimpse of one of the most captivating trials in recent memory. once again it was the relentless media coverage that in large part fed the fascination with media coverage that in large just minutes after the not guilty verdict, defense attorney jose baez took a swing at a familiar bad guy. >> we have the greatest constitution in the world, and if the media and other members of the public do not respect it, it will become meaningless. >> reporter: it's a familiar charge, and it has a long history. in 1935, a sympathetic public followed newsreel coverage of the first so-called trial of the century when a german immigrant accused of the kidnapping and murder of charles lindbergh's infant son. media coverage was so excessive, that cameras were subsequently banned from most u.s. courts for decades to come. >> should enter a plea of guilty or not guilty? >> not guilty. >> reporter: 60 years later it was newly created cable news

networks, hungry for compelling content, that drove coverage of the murder trial of o.j. simpson to unprecedented levels and created a new market for celebrity courtroom drama. in 2005 michael jackson was charged with child molestation. although eventually found not guilty, his high profile trial derailed his career for years. experts say the presumption of guilt is a hallmark of these media trials. >> they thought simpson would be convicted. they thought michael jackson would be convicted and they thought casey anthony would be convicted. in all of those case, despite a very oppressive media, the jirs followed the law, looked at the evidence and decided the cases were not proven. >> reporter: but the anthony case had one critical difference from earlier media trials. >> in the casey anthony case, there's no celebrities. just an ordinary little girl who was found dead, and a mother who is accused of her killing. >> reporter: still, whatever the circumstances, the public's appetite for these types of cases, fed by ever-expanding

media outlets only continue to grow. >> jack ford is with us now along with criminologist casey jordan. good to have you back to talk with us. from day one, you said you think she'll be acquitted. clearly public perception did not agree with you. but that doesn't come into play here. >> not so much that i thought she'd be acquitted. but we said two years ago this would be a very tough case for the prosecution here. even the prosecutor acknowledged that because even though there is so much about casey anthony in terms of what she had despicable mother, was she a horrible mother here, and i think they proved that. still, to get a murder conviction, you have to prove that it was a murder. now, it's very difficult, not impossible, to get a murder conviction without proving a cause of death, but it's really difficult. and here that was the big hurdle for the prosecution from the very beginning. they couldn't prove how this child died.>k and if you can't, i don't think the jury even got to the point that they started looking at, you know, her motive. by the way, you don't have to

prove a motive in a murder case, but it's helpful. been i don't think the jury ever get there. what you'll hear is what we said from the very beginning, this is a very, very difficult case for the prosecution to prove. >> yesterday with the response yesterday, shock and awe. anybody with any bit of a legal background, are they surprised with this decision? because like jack said, you could not tie casey to the actual murder, you couldn't make that link. >> but even the legal analysts and the experts got caught up in all the publicity. and emotions ran extremely high in this case. that's what we've been seeing for the past few hours. the truth of the matter is jack is absolutely right. if you thin-sliced it and look at the elements for murder, you lean back and go, wow, the prosecution probably did overcharge. they didn't put death on the table because if you were thinking that this person that you convict may be put to death, then you really micro analyze everything. and i think the csi effect also

had a big impact as well. >> meaning that people expect things to be done so quickly and they expect all this fancy science. >> that's right. we had three or four weeks of hard core forensics. one of the oldest strategies in defense is if you can't convince them confuse them. i think that really did work in this particular case. >> was that -- jose baez, from the beginning when he brought in the child molestation issues with george, the grandfather, at the very beginning, was that kind of part of his plan to distract the jury to think so many different things? >> if you're a defense attorney, you don't have to answer anyñ/? questions. i don't think this jury agreed with jose baez, what he said in his opening statement, because there was no evidence about the fact that this was a drowning accident and they tried to cover it up. if you're a defense attorney, you just have to raise questions. here there were enough questions to start with that they accentuated those questions. that's why they're a success. remember, the jury didn't say innocent. juries don't say innocent, they say not guilty. not guilty can mean a whole lot of things.

it can mean innocent but it can also mean that jurors are saying in my gut, i think something happened. but you know what? you just didn't prove it to me. >> you didn't connect the dots. the burden is, in a case like this is on the prosecution. look at the system, though, overall. because as we hear this outrage from the public, they're saying a miscarriage of justice, how did this happen? did the system work as it was intended to? >> i think there are two problems here. ting justice system, i think you can look at it, even though you might terribly disagree with this verdict, you might be angry at it, then you can say this wasn't proven beyond a reasonable doubt. one of the problems was the coverage of this. you know, we all know that opinion has become an important part of news coverage. opinion is very valuable for journalism. it helps to shape and drive and direct conversation and debate. but what i think was missing here and why i think the public doesn't understand why this was such a hard case, there weren't enough voices of that objective and thoughtful analysis that says here's the strength and

weaknesses of both sides here. everybody doesn't have to take a side. >> and you had that, cheney mason brought that up yesterday because a lot of what they were talking about during the trial was the media assassination and every day was more who won in court today, more of a -- kind of playing this like a ball game type of thing a win and loss type of issue. that's a problem. because for 2 1/2 years this woman had been persecuted publicly by pundits out there that had their views. >> that's true. but cheney mason, he has to take the constitution with the first amendment, which does allow media coverage at these cases. we have public trials so that there are no spanish inquisitions. he can call it a witch hunt, but he should be very happy that the media got what it wanted and he got what he wanted in tend so he can walk away with the idea that the system does indeed work. >> does she walk away tomorrow? >> i think she does. she's done three years ago. even if he stacks it up and gives her four years, time

spent. >> thanks. >> great to be here. >> jeff glor standing by at the newsdesk with a check of the other headlines for us at 11 minutes past the hour. >> an accused terrorist was very quietly taken to new york to stand trial in a civil court. akman wasani was captured in the persian gulf region, then questioned on a u.s. warship for two months. military officials say he provided military intelligence about operations in yemen and somalia. now he's here in new york. lawyers for dominique strauss-kahn will meet with prosecutors today.

>> thank you. ,,,,,, 3q while there are some home disasters you can't avoid, there is one you can. septic system breakdowns affect 1.2 million homes

in the us each year. septic backups can cost about six thousand dollars in expense, and countless hours of repair. rid-x costs only six dollars, and the advanced natural bacteria generate powerful enzymes, which accelerate the waste digestion. use rid-x once a month, and help save yourself from disaster.

crossing the bay bridge into san francisco there is a big backup behind the pay gates due it a series of problems all

of which are now gone. unfortunately the backup extends into the macarthur maze. westbound 580 jammed solid from highway 24. commuting down the eastshore freeway heavy from berkeley all the way on down through emeryville. pretty heavy ride up the incline. we are seeing some improvements now for the san mateo bridge. we had a stalled big rig blocking -- partially blocking the eastbound labels. it caused slow traffic in the westbound lanes, as well. still about a half hour drive though from hayward towards 101. that is your traffic. for your beautiful weather forecast, here's lawrence. >> it is beautiful, elizabeth. it's going to be fantastic out there around the bay area. not quite as hot although it's still going to be hot enough. temperatures well into the 90s in the valleys, but we have seen more fog moving along the coastline a little finger sticking inside the bay as well so temperatures will be coming off, still hot 90s inland, about 74 degrees much more comfortable in oakland, 74 in

san francisco. more low clouds and fog this weekend. ,,,,,,,,
