trial for killing ken harris were convicted of murder. -- today, two of the three men are on trial. >> they were convicted of conspiracy to commit robbery and other offenses. it is clear the jury struggled with this case. >> i feel that today we have the victory. verdict offers some resolution to the tragic murder occurred of kenneth harris. his death in 2008 was part of the armed robbery of the new haven lounge. the jurors convicted 17-year-old jerome williams and 22-year-old charles mcganey on various charges. >> at the end, he did shake my hand and tell me thank you. >> prosecutors could not prove

who pull the trigger. surveillance video capture the last moments that harris was alive. as he left the bar, the robbery was announced. harris led to his car and was shot in the upper back. the juror apparently did not believe another defendant, gary collins, was guilty. their surveillance video shows two men wearing bandannas and another wearing a mask entering the jazz club immediately after harris was shot. they robbed the place and then run down a hallway, exiting out a back door. the prosecutor argued all three of men conspired to commit robbery and all were equally guilty for what happened. >> i honestly believe that it was something that occurred only at the moment. >> this is one of the largest

and most high-profile cases because of the fact that canada was a city councilman --kenneth was a city councilman. we all felt it very deeply, but we do feel all of the losses. >> only one juror commented, saying i am glad it's over. the defense attorneys said his client is disappointed, but it is clear juror struggled with the case. >> i watched the whole panel while the jury was being rendered. there was clearly descension. that ultimately agreed on the verdict, but i do think that some of the jurors were not satisfied with the outcome. >> prosecutors believe the strongest evidence was the dna of williams found on a mask and the dna of the other two found on bandannas and latex gloves located during the investigation of the murder and robbery.

>> this is a message to the criminals of baltimore city that they can just not get away with murdering someone and think that they are going to walk away free. >> mcganey, looms, and collins will be back in court for sentencing. the defense is considering whether or not to appeal the case. >> as one call wraps up in baltimore city, another begins in baltimore county. tracy testo disappeared in 2005, never to be seen again. our husband is on trial for murder. >> during opening statements, prosecuting attorneys acknowledge that tracy's body has never been found, but they told jurors that under the law they do not have to produce a body to prove that dennis testo

killed his wife. tracy's friends walked out of the courthouse in tears after the first day of testifying. witnesses told the jurors that tracy had already told her husband she wanted him out of the house and wanted to end the marriage when she disappeared in 2005. she was supposed to go to a concert in washington d.c. that night, but she never showed up. her car was found 11 days later in a glen burnie parking lot. surveillance video shows an unidentified person park and get out of the car. the defense attorneys said the state has only circumstantial evidence. >> our defense is that the state cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was even a murder committed, much less that my client was guilty of that murder. >> several of tracy's friends and family testified that tracy would not have just picked up , and theher likfe

marriage was strained. >> i am sad because we never found her. that is one thing that we wanted to find her, so i can get breast. >> the state has to prove that dennis killed his wife willingly and deliberately and with premeditation. the trial is expected to last for about a week. >> police discovered the body of a woman at the bottom of an elevator shaft last night. investigators say her body was found about 10:30 inside a vacant building on north tower street. authorities believe the woman was homeless and living in the building, but are not sure if she fell down a shaft or if she was murdered. >> following the murder of a

road, shutting down the area for nearly two weeks. >> you could say andy harris threw his hat in the ring for the first district house race, but he never actually took his hat out of the ring after the last election. he lost by less than 3000 votes in 2008. he never stopped running. >> andy harris has been campaigning nonstop for the last 3.5 years, but when 10-year-old danny needs help with his homework, his dad put politics on hold. andy harris is once again the republican nominee in maryland's first district congressional race. the 53-year-old father of five is also a three term state senator, a 70-ar commander in the naval reserve, and a doctor and professor at johns hopkins.

>> when you are trained to be a position, you are trained to do what it takes, sleep or not. >> harris is this election is about winning control of congress. >> they are talking about raising taxes january 1, and we are in the middle of a recession. to me, that is crazy talk. >> his father spent 1.5 years in a concentration camp. >> their experience is that there are places in the world where, when the government gets too powerful and gets out of control, that people suffer. >> the candidate says he never would have voted for healthcare reform, the stimulus, or the bank bailout. he wants a vote in washington to cut taxes and spending, create term limits, and balance the budget. >> it gives me a lot of energy. >> harris says he will keep running the 2010 trail towards washington.

>> stay with us, there is more news ahead on 11 news at 6. >> to baltimore city teachers share their views on a new contract proposal just days away from a ratification vote. that story is coming up. >> if the ravens we see it is a letdown after the big win. >> the weather is going to cooperate for football and anything else you want to do an outdoors this upcoming weekend. we will check out the details, coming up.

so who is "making stuff up"? the news media say it's bob ehrlich... with attacks that have been called "false" and "misleading." made up attacks bob ehrlich knows aren't true. but here's what's not made up. bob ehrlich's $3 billion in taxes and fees. the $2.5 million he got paid working at a lobbying firm. or the fact ehrlich worked for the casinos to put slots at arundel mills mall. now, bob...that's all true. i'm frank kratovil and i approve this message. the real andy harris. buried in his website - a promise to replace the tax code with a 23% sales tax and eliminate the mortgage

interest deduction. a bush tax panel said families would pay $6,000 more a year. a reagan tax advisor calls it a very dumb idea. but that's not his only bad idea. harris was the only senator to vote against expanding the child care tax credit and against the state's cancer treatment program. andy harris' extreme ideas will cost us.

>> a new teacher contract is still on the table in baltimore city, and in a few days, 6000 teachers are set to cast their ballots. >> it is a situation, no predictions on the final outcome to tell you about, but to teachers agreed to give us their opinions. >> teachers have been doing their homework for -- what is not clear is whether they will agree on all they have read about this new contract. it is contract with plea of strings. some of them tied to a bigger paycheck, based in part on student achievement. peter redgrave, 32, and carla mccloy, who has been on the job 26 years, say it is not just about dollars and cents. >> they are trying to tie that to the work that people are doing both inside and outside the classroom. it is unclear to me at this point exactly how that is going to match up.

they have been using the phrase achievement units, but how those are going to add up and help people climb the career ladder -- >> my salary will go up. before, we were stagnated, and when she got to the top, you stay there. there were 21 steps, and traditionally people teach foreign additional 10 years, sometimes 50 or 20. >> the three-year contract proposal includes a 4.5% raise and health benefits that will stay the same. it is details beyond the pay and benefits that teachers are still sorting through. >> you are thinking you don't want to be a situation where you have to go to school anymore, because it is just another commitment. >> i still have some serious

questions. i believe the intent of the contract is worth while, but it is a matter of hiring out the details in a way that makes sense to me. >> the teacher wrote is set for next wednesday and thursday. to learn more about the contract and read a copy of the proposal, law on to our website, wbaltv.com. -- log on to our website. >> now, your insta-weather forecast with chief meterologist tom tasselmyer. >> shelley this morning with temperatures in the 40's in most of the outlying suburbs -- chilly this morning. we went from 44 at the airport in the morning to 76 the afternoon. that is what you get in these dry, sunny, quiet weather conditions. the record high for today was 91 in 2007. the record low was below

freezing, 31 degrees on october 8, 2001. around baltimore metro area, we are seeing temperatures in the low to mid-70's. heading west into frederick county, it is cooler out in allegheny and eric cantor. b.g.e. in allegheny and tarrant county. you can see clear skies all across our region. we are going to stay clear and cool overnight with flows from 47 in the suburbs to about 54 at the inner harbor. strong high pressure over our region will produce another day like today for saturday and for sunday and at least part of monday before some of the unsettled weather al west can reach you. tomorrow we will be watching this front come out of northern new england. the showers will dissipate and

head off shore, but the front will be heading south. you might not even notice the front going by, but as we get into monday, you then see showers coming out of cleveland to pittsburg which will make its way south and east. until they get here, it is picture-perfect october weather. partly cloudy and mile tomorrow, highs ranging room 72- 77. on the bay tomorrow, west winds at five-to-10 knots. a water temperatures will be in the 60's. it is the autumn or festival out in garrett county. started thursday and continues through the weekend. they timed it perfectly this year. 65 for the afternoon highs saturday. around the bay, beautiful weather with sunshine and a few

clouds and a high of 75. sunny and mild on the lower eastern shore up to ocean city. we have a hurricane in the atlantic, not too far away. it is southeast of bermuda and getting stronger as the wins have come up over the past 24 hours. you can almost see an eye of the storm trying to form in the satellite tracker. the good news with hurricane otto is that it will not come close to any major land masses. on this track, that is good news for us and also for bermuda. it is staying out in the open waters of the atlantic. 75 tomorrow and 72 on sunday, a great weekend. a chance for a shower monday night into tuesday morning. by wednesday night into thursday, there is another chance for a few showers moving in.

>> the ravens talked all week about respecting denver's ground attack. their top that has been ruled out of sunday's game, so what about -- what a letdown. john harbaugh describe the victory as the best he has been part of in 28 years of coaching. denver does not strike the same kind of fear or rivalry. we have seven days to engage. john harbaugh also dismisses the theory. >> it is denver in baltimore. every game, every challenge stands on its own 2 feet. we love playing pittsburg. pittsburg loves playing the ravens. it is probably the greatest

rivalry in the nfl. our guys are wrong to be very excited to play on sunday. they know what the challenge is and will have to be up for it. >> it is purple friday, part of which is purple passion. if you want to tickets to the ravens came sunday, watch and win on purple passion tonight for the details. the senior players championship continues today in potomac. the defending champion will be putting from the rough. maybe we should try it. he somehow rose again for a birdie. russ cochran, lucky all day.

the campaign season rolls on, and we already recall the year of the picture. robin williams on hand, nothing funny about trying to hit team linthicum. the outcome was predictable. codey ross driving in the only run of the game. there was plenty for linthicum. he finishes with 14 strikeouts. cincinnati's brendan builds when deep in the first inning.

highlights of that coming up tonight at 11. stay with us. we'll have a check of the forecast coming up right after this.

telling us "maryland is moving forward," "and moving maryland forward" this jobs report tells the truth maryland's economy stalled "we face an uphill struggle in trying to regain the jobs lost" o'malley attempts a cover-up, falsifying the jobs report to help his campaign. "whatever we can do to make it disappear, we need to do it. that's coming straight from the top" martin o'malley, first he makes stuff up, when caught, he covers stuff up. we need a governor who tells the truth. i'm frank kratovil and i approve this message. the real andy harris. his past attacks have been called deceptive, his new attack, false.

harris voted for deregulation increasing our electric bills by 72% it's not surprising, harris always sides with the big guys. he opposes cracking down on wall street and supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. harris even opposed making big insurance cover cancer screenings. andy harris' extreme ideas will cost us. >> the push to keep slots out of anne arundel county heats up. pirelli is happening now, and what it could mean for the planned casino. -- a rally is happening now. details from wall street and the state of the economy. state of the economy. we will

i think we need tax breaks to send kids to college. so i worked for a $2,500 tax credit to help pay for college. fought to get pell grants expanded and insisted that college loans go directly to kids instead of through banks. i'm barbara mikulski. i approve this message. because it's not about the next election, it's about the next generation. right? yeah!!!

two governors, two different approaches. even in good times bob ehrlich didn't make education a priority. he increased college tuition by 40%, cut school construction by $200 million, and ehrlich voted to eliminate the department of education

while serving in congress. but in the toughest of times, martin o'malley has made record investments in public schools, new school construction, and o'malley froze college tuition four years in a row. with martin o'malley, our children always come first. >> you could not ask for a nicer day. >> let's not be greedy. >> a beautiful saturday and sunday, nothing to complain about. seven's for high, low humidity, comfortable temperatures and sunshine for the weekend. monday begins a transition and a chance for showers monday night into tuesday. >> where was this weather in august? >> nbc nightly news is up next.
