what i've seen in this downtown golden area. give yourself some time to brush that off and get yourself ready for a safe, morning commute. i just spoke with dispatch. they tell me they're on accident alert right now. they had one little incident this morning. i-70 and c-470. that person was not injured. they're still on accident alert for the morning hours untilled for notice. so, just keep that in mind if you're headed into this area. the intersections have a lot of buildup too. slushy roads. good morning, colleen. let's get out and check. as you see across the road, we have a lot happening. splashback. for the most part, you're not going to see -- a couple of

boulder county courthouse. >> the defense wants to find there's no intent in this case. >> if the jury finds no intent, they cannot convict her on first-degree murder. they can convict her on manslaughter as well. yesterday in closing arguments, you just heard one side of that argument, that lane left that victim to die, intending the entire time to take the baby from her, not caring whether she lived or died. the defense says this was a hasty decision. they made that argument in their opening statements this week. however, the defense never brought the witness to the stand. the prosecution brought 16 witnesses to the stand starting last wednesday. michelle wilkins, being the

this semis back to 2015 when wilkins lured -- lane lured wilkins to her home by posting the craig's list ad. when she was in her basement, she attacked her. take a look at what defense had to say about if lane had any intent to kill. >> if her intent was that i'm going to kill this woman, to cut her baby out, why wouldn't she have one weapon on her? any way? why would she do this in her accessible things? why? because it was a hasty, impulsive, and reckless act. there never was any intention. >> now, that, of course, being the argument of the defense, the prosecution does not agree with that at all.

faked her pregnancy for months and months and had to prove to her husband that she was having a baby, her boyfriend, rather, that showed the intent and the planning to take this baby. that, again, is the argument of the prosecution. so there's so many things for the juror to consider. they deliberated for six hours yesterday. they will reconvene at 9:00 this morning. we'll continue to follow this case and let you know if there is a verdict. >> 5:38 right now. denver police officer recovering this morning in the hospital after she was shot chasing down a burglary suspect yesterday. at last check, the officer was in fair condition. they caught up with two suspects near 37th and grove in the highlands neighborhood yesterday afternoon. that's when the officer was shot in the lower leg. one man was arrested. the second suspect got away and carjacked a woman.
