for a conviction. he is a teacher and believes anthony is a liar but does not believe that makes her a killer. >> there was some type of horrific accident to caylee but the family, whatever happened i think more than one person knows and i think that was possibly george. >> defense's argument caylee drowned makes sense to him. >> but for some reason, the prosecution was right they made an accident look like a murder scene. >> public opinion mostly disagrees the family of a second alternate juror is wrestling with this. >> i am a mother the mother in me putting emotions into it, disagrees with it on some level but i know they were instructed to take their emotions out of it. >> this one has a lot of people talking our facebook fans are speaking out. fran says okay, michael vick

thunderstorm activity, this is hanging together pretty well we are now looking at it, as it moves to the north and east, south of front royal in the direction it is going it could impact lees burg places like that it does appear to be hanging together we will keep our eyes on it there is a lot of cloud to ground lightning associated with this area of storminess that is the only area we are seeing thunderstorms close to us this morning. let's look at temperatures across the region another warm start 78 degrees washington 77 annapolis, culpepper 73 off to the east annapolis did i say that already? i think so. partly sunny skies, scattered afternoon showers, thunderstorms possible high today, 93 degrees for tonight we will see another warm night overnight lows mid-70s early shower, thunderstorm possible here and there not everyone will get it some of you will. five day forecast tomorrow, 90

scattered thunderstorms, friday, that is a cooler day, 85 degrees, afternoon showers and thunderstorms the weekend looks good hot but good mostly sunny skies temperatures right about where they should be for this time of year. that is a look at what is happening with weather now an update on traffic from julie. >> all right tony, checking out the drive in virginia, so far so good incident free on the inner loop as you travel from bradock as you head out toward 66, robinson terminal, toward 66, 95 cleared out for the mornings drive, no problems reported along this stretch, 66, centerville, at fair oaks, leaving vienna toward the tollway, route 7 to the belt way outer loop no problems reported, montgomery to fairfax. inner speed, lanes open, north capitol out towards the third street tunnel that is a check

of your fox 5 on time traffic. >> back to the white house a meeting there is crucial to getting some sort of action from preventing the country from going into default next month. good morning jim. good morning. >> his usual sparring partner we say it in love, peter is off today we welcome ellen former advisor to nancy pelosi and a democratic strategist nice to see you. >> good morning. >> let's first talk about business here at home we are talking about the debt ceiling debate less than a month away now, let me start with you, what can we expect these two sides seem to be a little movable right now, what will happen? >> well, okay, from my perspective, one side has moved pretty far because there is a $4 trillion problem we need to deal with over the next 10

years democrats in closed door negotiations over the last several weeks came with almost $2 trillion on cut smarts, we can't do it on the backs of college students and seniors we need the richest of the rich and corporate tax loopholes closed to lower the tax rate and make america more competitive there has been a stand off because the republicans have interpreted out of election last year no taxes can be on the table at all. so, that is my perspective going into the next 48 hours now we have the president calling everybody, the white house, republican and democratic leaders and we will see what comes out of that i think americans are looking towards july 22nd date, where we are supposed to begin to default as a nation and you know, again from my perspective that is scary. >> let me ask you, the vice president was put in charge of

this, the spokesperson for this, if you will has he done a good job convincing both sides to come together? >> since some walked out maybe -- eric canter lead to house and so the president has taken it up himself. >> what is your reaction? can we bet this business done in time? >> i fink this the president is -- think if the president is sincere we will. if you look at last week he pretty much admonished republicans now all of a sudden he is bringing republicans in. i think he is trying to set himself up he is a good guy republicans are the bad guy let's look back at the history of this, last two years democrats controlled all three houses they didn't pass the budget you know, republicans hasn't lad their victory they had last cycle -- had their victory they had laisses =, we

would have -- cycle we would have had the debt we have. i don't know what is actually going to happen to be honest with you, i would agree, it would be hopeful something would happen but there is a lot of political gains man ship going on. >> it has been talked as a temporary fix american people don't seem to be too warm on that idea i don't know if we understand what this means but seems like if congress can't get the budget in order, how we expected to get our bank accounts in order, seems that is how it trickles down what is the perception here if this business is not taken care of? >> well, i think first of all the president and speaker boehner said they were against a temporary fix they want at least a two year fix on the debt ceiling, i think that you know, i've heard some republicans question whether default means anything and there will be any consequences but i have heard a lot of smart

economists says the a catastrophe we saw three years ago $17 trillion in household wealth lost in retirement income and 401 ks from americans i don't want to mess around with my retirement, so i hope that they take it seriously. >> let's move on to the talks senate was supposed to take up talks about our action in libya, that has been shelved will we get back to that harry reed saying we need to deal with our business here at home. >> i thought it was interesting that that was the first thing they were going to talk about they shelved it when republicans said why are we here we are here for the budget, here for the deficit situation but libya is an important problem now because we are hearing more and more, that i think i heard something the other day that we have flown over 800 sortis. 800 planes into libya right now we have to resolve the situation either we are in

libya, and the president needs to get some resolution from congress or we are out of libya. we've got to have that situation happen but clearly, you know, harry reed tried to get that to happen but we are going to talk about the debt. libya will be put on the back burner again until we get something done. >> it was all the talk a couple weeks ago on the talk shows what are we doing in libya what are the answers here think it will come back up again? >> i think it will have to. i think what senate was trying to do in a bipartisan fashion with senator mccain and senator perry, was to try to put some sort of guidelines around what we are doing in libya again, aircraft, and what that resolution would have done is stipulate no troops on the ground unless there was a specific personal threat to u.s. personnel, somewhere in libya. and it would have limited the action to a year. so i think they will come back to that but i agree with senator reed and jim now is the time to look at the debt.

there is a big twitter party going on at the white house today, and in all seriousness it is a town hall meeting of sorts, an electronic one talking about jobs and economy is this a smart move by the white house? i would expect nothing would get through that is not of good nature, but what do you thing of this move? >> seems like they set it up fairly they are going to have twitter leaders, you know community leaders in the twitter verse, filtering questioning but hopefully he gets real questions he needs to hear real questions and real opinions but i also hope that he doesn't do the whole town hall if again the negotiations today on the debt ceiling take precedence. scheduled for 2:00 p.m. or someone in iowa saying what is going on here. 16-year-old man who doesn't have a job saying what are we doing today? a twitter party. >> well, that's right.

you know, where is the laser like focus on jobs, we will have a twitter party clearly this is a political campaign stunt, smart from a political perspective they will get all these e-mails and other things and capture people involved but in the meantime we are not working on negotiations and you know, we need to be focused on dealing with the debt ceiling problem and until that happens i think america is just going to kind of roll their eyes again one more time our leaders, don't seem to be leading. just following. >> a.m. son, twitter party -- alison this twitter party. >> it is a town hall meeting on twitter. >> in the same way this is a meeting. i think it is legit. americans need to hear what he is thinking he needs to hear what they are thinking. >> i think, i mean i would tend to agree with that if that were the case but right now i don't think he needs to hear from americans his numbers are bad americans are telling him, ellen, let's fix the deficit.

>> got the end it there i apologize. got your point out a twitter town hall meeting not a party jim we hear you too. hope you come back and see us some time steve. >> thank you very much. 7:42 a.m., up next update tiger wood's competitive schedule. back after this 

as expected tiger woods said he will pass next week's british open, he will miss another major because he has left leg is not healed he will have one final shot at a major title if he plays in atlanta but he said he will not do that if he is 100% recovered. it is questionable whether he will play the rest of the year. fantastically interesting development. >> it is only july. >> i know. >> we will see he is definitely not playing in the british open. >> some times you just got to heal do what it takes. >> exactly. >> i may be out for a good part of the year my finger that i

testified under oath he did not use performance enhancing drugs on his way to becoming a seven time cy young winner clemens former trainer says he injected the yankee pitcher with steroids and human growth hormone and saved the needles as proof. clemens says the trainer lied to save himself from prosecution. former teammates and major loggers are expected to testify, including andy pet it who told him that he took human growth hormones, but clemens claims that he misunderstood. a former major league outfielder is expected to testify whether clemens attended a party at his home where steroids were used he famously wrote the book juice claiming he used steroids and most other players did too. the trial is expected to take 4 to 6 weeks if convicted on charges, clemens could face up to 30 years in prison, and a

$1.5 million fine since he has no prior criminal record it is unlikely he would get any where close to that. that is the latest at the federal courthouse back to you. >> after 8:30 a.m., the former federal prosecutor will join us in studio what we should expect in this case. >> locally, embattled prince georges council woman leslie johnson is resigning end of the month this comes five days after she pleaded guilty in the corruption probe of her husband. her colleagues on the council have called for her to resign immediately though. in court last week she admitted to destroying $100,000 check from a developer and stuffing $80,000 worth of cash into her under garment. a special election will be held to fill her seat. national new s with the clock ticking down until the u.s. reaches its debt limit president barack obama is calling top republicans and democrats to the white house in hopes of reaching a deal there

we are continuing to watch this, slow moving, moving to the north and east, you will start to get shower activity moving in, culpepper, some areas of heavy rain and maybe thunder and lightning there right now leesburg may get a few showers moving in shortly. >> to the graphics, temperatures across the country we are up to 80 degrees, 80 here in washington going to be warm in the nations mid-section where temperatures already are in the mid-70s. 77 degrees dallas, out on the west coast l.a., 68 degrees at this hour. we are 1 degree shy of miami, 81 there, 80 here. your five day forecast look for a high of 93 degrees. showers and thunderstorms this afternoon not everyone will get them some of you may. more of the same tomorrow friday we cool down to 85, still a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, the weekend looks warm pretty good, not too bad at all. that is a look at the weather more coming up in a bit.

alison back the you. >> as for the charge of first degree murder, verdict as to count one we the jury find the defendant not guilty. >> first, a little smile then tears as casey anthony hears the not guilty verdict the florida mother was acquitted yesterday of killing her 2-year- old daughter caylee, the verdict shocked many americans who have been watching this case closely. also watching this case, judge alex, host of the judge alex show on fox 5. he is a friend of the show and we appreciate you joining this morning you are live from orlando in front of the courthouse good morning. >> always a pleasure thank you. >> let's talk about this judge the country the reaction from a lot of people we are hearing is down right outrage and shock about this. is this a justified reaction here? >> yeah, i think it is justified, because you know now days, camera in the courtroom you get to see pretty much the same evidence the jury sees

people are speculating they saw the case presented i was surprised can't say i was shocked we see it all the time someone proven guilty even more so than casey anthony, gets acquitted by a jury. probably a whole lot of reasons why that happens, doesn't happen all the time but it happens often enough that you get a little desensitized to it jurors were trying to hold the state to a higher burden than they could ever prove motive. we all want to know the motive the only way to prove motive is have the defendant tell you why or a prior confession or crawl into their head which you can't do. so i think when they say we want to know why she did it, that is an impossibility for the prosecution they can theorize, say maybe for this reason but never prove that and to prove cause of death, as much as they want to know how some body died, it is not an element of the crime, baez said if you have doubts, if you have

questions, you have reasonable doubt that is misstatement to have law if you have doubts about elements of the crime, caylee anthony is dead, casey killed her caylee anthony is dead given, casey anthony killed her you put all the circumstantial evidence together points to but how is not an element husbands who murder their wives and dump them in the ocean or everglades some times they don't find the body. if you can't find the body you cannot prove if she was strangled, shot whatever but you can get a conviction. six week trial the jury took 11 hours to come back they said at the end of the day the prosecution didn't meet the burden of proof this is how it works this is the justice system. >> it is. i do not lose faith in the justice system i will tell you it is trite to say i would rather have a guilty person go free than an innocent person

convicted or a hundred guilty people go free i don't know if you would agree with that you would if it was your child innocent and convicted as long as we have a human system we will have mistakes it is unfortunate but you just have to say the prosecution i think did a masterful job, ashton was fantastic, they put the facts they have they can't create new facts they put them together and presented a powerful circumstantial case they don't have to convince all of america just those 12 people if all of america thinks she is guilty those 12 people are not convinced by law she is not guilty doesn't mean she is innocent not guilty just means they were not convinced beyond every reasonable doubt on evidence presented frankly i think she murdered her child. >> could have received a death sentence for that, a lot of people have that same feeling with you, now though, she might just be facing time served, what do you expect to happen when she heads back the court tomorrow? >> i think judge perry who by

the way did a fantastic job on the case he could go either way, i could see him say if i give you a maximum on the count i am punishing you for murders you were not convicted on she has been in three years, the most she can be in for this is four. you lied to everybody had everyone scrambling to find your kidnapped daughter all the time you knew you were lying, i am going to max you out, i would have no problem with either position he takes. >> pleasure to see you live from orlando, judge alex see his show each week day at noon and 12:30 here on fox 5. >> he has been down there following the whole case. good morning steve and alison we are checking out the drive northbound 270, north of where the lanes combine prior to montrose road, they have the crash moved it to the shoulder

measures humidity, low 70s. we are in the uncomfortable range. a little relief off to the north and west, pittsburgh 68, columbus 70, we are just not going to get a chance to get the cooler drier air in here, the warm front will lift through the area, that is causing the thunderstorm activity changes here in the way of more summary, soupy weather across the washington area expected next couple days, the five day forecast and again as we get into the afternoon, could be a scattered shower or a thunderstorm 93 degrees, wind out of the south, 5 to 10, later tonight, muggy, overnight lows expected to be in the 70s. 74 your overnight low, plenty warm out there, winds south, 5 to 10 your five day forecast again late this afternoon 93 degrees, thursday, friday, saturday, temperatures kind of summer range should be cool and dry, sunshine and slightly cooler temperatures. that's a look at weather let's toss it to you steve. >> jury selection for the purgery trial of roger clemens

begins today. clemens is accused of lying to congress about the use of performance enhancing drugs. we are joined this morning to talk about the case former federal prosecutor as well i can't get jacob to stop talking about what happened in florida. what is your reaction. >> very simply jury listened to this case for 33 days the only ones that heard the evidence they returned what they believed was a verdict consistent with the evidence passion no with standing i believe they wanted to convict her fact is the evidence was not there that is why they returned the verdict they did we have a judicial process we have to respect the decision i don't think any lawyer should say anything else then it goes to the integrity of the system. >> it is difficult for the rest of the country to understand that but they were not sitting there for 33 days. >> exactly. >> roger clemens might be in

the same situation except he may be facing up to 30 years in prison for lying to congress. this is an interesting case what are the keys to this case. >> one interesting thing is now we are shifting it into baseball, baseball is a game you play on the field roger clemens does not have home field advantage here. that could be one of the most interesting dynamics what we are dealing with here is lying to congress. the government, whether it is congress, department of justice, takes very seriously, lying in investigations and in this case we are tried in new york where he played, in texas also where he is a hometown favorite. very likely we could see a dynamic, call it jury nullification this guy is a hero, a super star no matter what you put in front of us, we are not going to tag him as a felon we are not going to call him guilty this case, he lied

to congress occurred in washington. you will easily find a jury that says roger clemens who they will listen to the evidence and it will be interesting to see ultimately how that plays out. >> not to mention his attorney is from texas as well that might not play as well here in washington as you said if the backyard of congress which is what is front and center in this case. so as an attorney whether you are prosecuting the case defending roger clement what is are your keys. >> the keys are who are the essential witnesses because when you are prosecuting someone for false statements for purgery the issue is, did he make a false statement on material issue of fact, to the tribunal to the body and the fact is, here he made out right denials, of use of performance enhancing drugs. and the government is going to put on the trainer who administered them. it is different than the barry bonds case.

>> the trainer is not reliable. >> they are going to try to slice and dice him in the end of the day, we see roger clemens has not been effective when he has spoken in his own behalf, and the question will be what happens whether it is casey anthony, where she chose not to testify, which was a good decision, that ultimately may be where this case comes out. is roger clemens going to take the witness stand and could he in fact be the decision maker, effect the jury's decision. >> his torn is saying he is not the bull in the bullpen you would not put him on the stand. >> it depends how the government case comes in and how effective they are on cross- examination. some believe bun of the most powerful -- one of the most powerful witnesses could be andy petit talking about discussions he and roger clemens had.

clemens is despite these allegations, this is a case about lying to congress about this drug use which he was implicated in but he never tested positive for drug use how big a factor is that? >> something that the defense will try to put into evidence or put into evidence, but ultimately it is about the statements themselves. because for the government, it is about the integrity of the process not lying in investigation and that is really what the government will be all about putting the statements and it has been all its time and effort showing why they are false. jacob franco we will see what happens alison. >> 80 degrees on this wednesday morning a nationwide shortage of medications is hitting hospitals hard. stay with us 

>> an alarming problem effecting everything from pharmacies to hospitals, critical medication in short supply or not vailable at all. drugs for cancer treatments, infections, heart disease, diabetes, adhd experiencing shortages, 211 last year, 300 medications by the end of this year american society of health

system pharmacists is trying to keep track. >> just about every class of drug has been effected in the past year a little less than half related to problems with productions in terms of keeping up with quality issues. >> some drugs are discontinued as they are not profitable to make others get hung up in the regulatory process and fewer manufactures to pick up the slack if a company goes off line. a mothers age and health might have more to do with a child's autism than first thought. >> stanford university researchers followed 192 sets of twins it found high rates of shared autism disorders for identical twins but relatively high rates for fraternal twins who don't share any more genetic material than normal subles there are genetic factors that may be triggered by environmental factors, like diet, age, medication, stress level but still does not nail down a cause. >> we don't know enough

unfortunately as to what these factors are there has not been enough research into it but stress hormone levels may be significant and this may have something to do with effecting the expression of genes that build functional connections especially between the two sides of the brain. >> study didn't try to determine exactly which factors increased the risk of autism. 8:42 a.m., whether it is a summer vacation or summer shopping, as we said, this may be a savings summer. >> still love how that sounds. we will show you three new websites designed to deliver deep discounts for the entire family holly good morning. >> as you look for fun for the entire family, world team tennis is where it is at. washington castles are back in their whole new stadium on the wharf we are serving up our own fun. getting a little serving practice in, the newest member of the team and back by popular
