thank you for joining us. i'm jc hayward. the case resumes against brittany norwood. she's been charged with killing

her coworkers inside the lulu lemon shop in bethesda last marg. andrea mccarran joins us with the latest development. >> reporter: another interesting day in court. right now we are awaiting the judge's decision, a critical decision on whether the very gravity photographs, including autopsy photos of victim jayna murray, will be allowed to be introduced during opening statements. joining me now is our legal analyst jim shallic, best known for prosecuting the son of sam case in new york. jim, what is the significance of judge greenberg's decision here? >> very significant. he has to weigh whether these pictures are so prejudicial that miss norwood cannot get a fair trial against the government's right to introduce relevant evidence. this is a crucial decision. >> reporter: and even if these photographs are not introduced during opening statements, they can still be introduced during the trial, correct? >> yes, they can. but the judge has to make the

same decision. is it relevant and worth the evidence as opposed to the prejudice. >> reporter: let's talk about the real drama here and that is what will -- the defense strategy be? >> that is the real drama. we have no idea what the defense is. the questions the judge has asked the jury don't give us an inkling of what the defense is asking the judge to inquire about. like if it was self-defense they would ask the judge to ask jurors to follow a self-defense defense. but there is no question to give us a preview of what the defense is thinking. >> reporter: there have been no questions of a potential insanity defense. the perspective jurors have not been asked if they suffered mental illness, anyone in their family suffered mental illness? >> there is no preview of what the defense may offer in defense. and by the way, they don't have to give an opening statement. they can keep us on the edge of our seats until after the government rests. >> reporter: and very quickly,

is it even possible in your estimation that a jury could be selected today? the process has been very, very carefully and cautious? >> i doubt it. the judge is taking each juror individually into his came bers and asking them questions about their fairness. i don't think we can reach a jury today. maybe tomorrow -- maybe. >> reporter: jim shallic, our legal analyst, thank you so much. we'll have the latest for you tonight at 5:00. reporting live from rockville, i'm andrea mccarran, back to you jc. >> and andrea is following the trial very closely. she'll be providing live updates through twitter. you can follow her at andrea mccarran or through wusa 9. and we'll have the latest information on our website at wusa9.com. now we want to tell you about another a high profile

when 9 news now at noon returns.

in these dire economic times we're getting inspiration from one of the most famous ministers in the world. i'm talking about joel osteen. he's coming to washington in april of 2012. he'll be at national stadium and i had a chance to talk to him yesterday. >> there is enough already pushing us down with just life in general. we have the economy, there is always something. when i speak and able to minister people, i want to lift them up and make them feel better and let them know there

are brighter days up ahead and that's what our ministry is about. >> by the way, joel has a new book, it's called every day a friday. and i've been looking through it. he said how to be happier 7 days a week. every day a friday by joel osteen. now go to my website at jchayward.com and you can see the entire interview. i have another book to show you right now. it's from paula shoyer, the kosher baker. she's my special guest today. and let me just tell you, these pies, the fragrance is just filling the studio. this is a beautiful book that she has. 160 dairy-free recipes so i want to promote her book. and what are you doing today? >> well one of the reasons i'm here is to talk about my appearance this thursday on a

food network competition show. >> that's right. >> it's called sweet jenus. and every day i go in the pitchen and bake for people with special diets and this is gluten free, this is sugar-free and this is dairy-free. and i thought being on a competition show where they give me challenging ingredients would be fun. but you have to move quickly in the kitchen, which i do. so today i'm going to show you the fastest pie you can ever make. >> and where can people see this? >> on the food network on thursday night at 10:00 p.m. and it's on for about an hour. >> okay. and they will see you. that must have been fun? >> it was fun. it was hard. i took risks i didn't need to. i made something on that show that i have never made before in my life until i was on that set. >> you are kidding? what was it? >> i can't tell you. back to the pie. so this is a frozen pie crust. i have a lot of homemade pry custs in my book, but sometimes you need to make it easy.

so here i'm adding lemon juice, a little bit of salt, cinnamon, sugar. >> that's cut up? >> raspberry, blueberry, and you can use whatever fruit you want and make the pie your own. and you just mix the ingredients together and mix this up until you don't see that much of the flour. you can use corn starch as well and in the summer i use peaches and plums. and then dump this into the pie crust. that's probably enough. >> you didn't bake your crust at all? >> no, this is right out of the freezer. and then all i'm going to do is smooth this out and take cookie- cutters and cut out circles and make a design on top. you can use different sizes, you've used stars or flowers or whatever you like and when you bake it, it looks like that. >> doesn't this look lovey. you can get the full recipe by

going to my website, jchayward.com. and let's talk about the other ones, we've run out of time, this is a french galette with plums and berries and this is a key lime pie. >> be sure to come back and visit us at 5:00. it's delicious. >> makes everybody happy. >> i like it. thank you. >> thank you.
