executed. >> he's never been in trouble before. you know, he's never been arrested for anything before. you know? and he just got caught up in something that he shouldn't have been caught up in. >> and the jury will begin deliberating a sentence tomorrow at 9:00. if he does not receive the death penalty, bishop will spend the rest of his life in prison. reporting live in harford county, weijia jiang, wjz eyewitness news. >> weijia, thank you. carla porter's trial is scheduled to begin next week. if convicted, she could also face the death penalty. >> major developments in the case of a woman accused of murder inside an upscale yoga shop. mary is live in the newsroom. >> britney norwood's attorney acknowledged his client killed her coworker during an angry fight. he told the jury that norwood, quote, lost it during a heated argument with jayna murray. but the defense argues the killing lacked premeditation. and therefore, norwood should
