you to places where you can see snow. amelia earhart is going to join us for a live look around the metro area. >> good morning. anytime that cold air circulates underneath the bridges and ramps, that's when we see the ice stick around on the drive. for the most part, it's been really low. let's go up to i-25 and 104th. yes, it's a typical delay. it's worst than usual. near 104th itself, it's going to take you about 22 minutes to transition from the north end at u.s -- i would say e470 to u.s. 46. accident wise, we have a spin- off reported along the northbound stretch of i-25 and castle pines parkway. fairly light because the crash is off the ramp. right at the i-25 split. we're looking standard across 270 for the most part, not seeing too many extensive delays.

that's a sticking point for the prosecution and defense. depending on what the jury decides, she could be found guilty of that, not guilty of that. or guilty or not guilty of a lesser charge. a jury has to find intent in order to convict lane of attempted first-degree murder. in other words, they have to find she planned and attempted to kill michelle wilkins when she took that unborn baby from her womb. now, if she did not plan it, the conviction, if there is one, could be for attempted manslaughter or a lesser charge. that's why lane's lawyer had been arguing that she did not plan this attack. now, while they made that argument, the prosecution said that lane did, in fact, plan pregnancy.

she lured -- the attack was not premeditated was the argument. >> 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? in this case, at the end of the day, the defendant didn't care what happened to michelle wilkins. all she cared about was getting a baby and having a baby to prove to david ridly, to her family, that she had been pregnant. >> we did hear from a doctor at a hospital that the defendant spoke with after this incident, trying to pass that baby off as her own, originally saying it was a stillbirth. we also heard from police who responded to the scene, saying just how badly of a condition that michelle wilkins was in and it's amazing she survived. these jurors deliberated for six hours yesterday and did not come back with a verdict. they will be back at 9:00 this

happened and if these 12 jurors -- seven women and five men, if they come back with a verdict, we'll have that for you as soon as it comes down. 9news. >> tarhonda, thank you. a man has been missing for nearly two weeks. 49-year-old michael edlin was last seen february 10th. he was running near his home on jewel avenue on south union boulevard. he was wearing blue jeans and a burgundy sweatshirt with a picture of grumpy on it. they say police don't suspect foul play, but they say he does have a medical condition and needs his medication. >> a denver police officer is recovering this morning. she was shot yesterday afternoon going after a burglary suspect in the highlands neighborhood. noel brennan is following this for us. sch's expected to make a full recovery. >> she was in fair condition. she is expected to recover from

the 45-year-old man briefly appeared in court by video link. he was charged monday with six counts of murder. two people were injured, including 14-year-old abigail. >> everybody needs to get that straight, my daughter is not dead. she is alive, and she's fighting for her life. i want everybody to understand that. abigail is strong. she was a vibrant, beautiful young lady and did not deserve this. neither did her grandmother or those other victims. >> vicki said the moment her daughter squeezed her hand when she was believed dead was, quote, breathtaking. the teenager is still in critical condition. uber says they got several complains saturday night about the admitted shooter, but the company said they had no reason to believe anything was wrong with him at the time.

that the driver was driving erratically. this was more than an hour before the rampage began. uber says he cleared a background check and was approved to be a driver on january 25th. he had given slightly more than 100 rides by the night of the shootings. it's 6:41. it's pay sickly a legal and privacy -- basically a legal and privacy dispute, but the battle between apple and the government, some survivors and victims of families affected by the mass shooting will file documents supporting the feds. they want apple to help the fbi hack into a locked iphone used by one of the shooters. an attorney who represents several families will file briefs on the issue next month. apple supporters across the the country are planning to pro test. they're planning to demonstrate in apple stores across the country. >> today voters will caucus in nevada again.
