guandique who has claimed that guandique confessed about killing chandra levy. prosecutors say that levy's death fits the pattern of other crimes that guandique committed back in 2001 and two attacks he's been convicted on in rock creek park. so the jury now has to listen or take into account both sides of the argument here. they'll take a look at witness testimony, evidence that has been gathered over this almost decade investigation they'll looking at. so they'll have two counts of felony murder that they have to decide whether or not he is guilty on. only two counts of felony murder. at this point there were other charges as well in this case. an attempted sexual assault charge being one of them. those charges were dropped earlier on so it is the two fell counts of murder that they are looking at and trying to decide if he is guilty on. and paul wagner will be down here throughout the day as he's been following the trial and we'll have latest out of what comes out coming up on fox 5

[ music ] [ singing ] >> the power of forgiveness is when you release the unforgiveness, the healing begins. >> forgiveness comes from a deeper understanding that when you hold the resentment, or when you hold a grievance or when you hold the need to get even or vengence or even so- called justice in the name of wanting to get even, it's like what nelson mandela said, it's like drinking poison and hoping it will kill your enemy. it's the worst thing you can do

for yourself. >> reporter: more and more evidence is pointing toward the healing power of forgiveness and the medical environment is taking notice. >> there are a few things i feel strongly about and the number one is the whole issue of forgiveness. and forgiving yourself and the people around you. and you have to allow yourself to make mistakes and get past those. and we look around the world at a place where people live a long time, we see patterns of humility, compassion, and forgiveness and it was part of their culture and it's what we need in our nature as well. >> angry emotions are shown to be what are called inflammatory emotions create inflammation in the body and in flammation is the background in a lot of diseases and possibly even in cancer. so forgiveness is the best way not only to heal the world, but to heal yourself.

other person's wealth any way and so that's why there has been huge stories. and keep in mind, queen elizabeth is worth a reported like $450 million, so there is a lot at stake here. well we hear that prince william will still do a prenup because a couple of months ago there was a divorce where the person actually had a prenup and it went through and it was successful and so that may change the game over there in the courts. i don't want to think cynical. i hope this lasts because this is a huge deal but we have to talk about the facts here too. >> the money. >> and the ring, dax. will he get the ring back if it doesn't work out. and by the way, kate was looking good yesterday. >> and i have to say that is good. to get princess diana's ring on your finger, for kate middleton walking around with her ring, that is some history there. >> and the palin sisters up to
