jurors will be allowed the see once testimony begins. 9news now reporter surae chinn is live outside the courthouse with more on the story in rockville. good morning. >> reporter: good morning andrea, good morning mike. yes, we are standing in front of the montgomery county circuit courthouse in rockville where the trial is expected to begin but first we have to get through jury selection, but according to the judge, it should be fairly quickly. but everything happening through those doors inside this building here in rockville. the judge saying it should only take about 30 minutes this morning to set the stage for opening statements. it's taken two days for jurors to be whittled down from 300 to 65. jayna murray was bludgeons to death back in march inside the yoga store after catching her co-worker allegedly stealing clothes. the accused her co-worker, 29- year-old brittany norwood now stands trial in her murder. friends of murray have been coming to the courthouse this week.

>> she was life with an open arms -- she lived life with an open arm you know. she embraced everybody and loved what she did and did what she loved. she was full of joy and i want to celebrate her life and carry on her legacy. >> reporter: 12 jurors and five alternates should be seated by late this morning. they've all been asked to arrive here around 9:30 this morning. the trial meanwhile is expected to last through next week. mike, andrea? >> the prosecutor wanted to show a number of very graphic pictures before the trial even started to the jurors. talk more about the judge's decision to only allow a few pictures to be shown. >> reporter: well, that's right. it was highly contested especially from the defense saying that these pictures are too emotional. that they were shown during opening statements that it would be prejudicial and too emotional and too distracting

but in the end the judge did allow a limited number, four photos including closeups of jayna murray part of her skull, her hand. and also one that shows her still alive. so it will be interesting today to find out exactly these pictures, to see them firsthand. back to you andrea. >> surae chinn reporting live from outside the montgomery county courthouse. two people are now in custody facing charges in last week's murder on the metro bus in southeast washington. police in orlando, florida arrested the suspects tuesday. d. c. police were searching for the men caught on surveillance video boarding the bus. the victim was 22-year-old demetrius thompson. he was shot just after midnight last thursday in the 2300 block of alabama avenue. those surveillance pictures eventually led to the arrests. keeping teenagers safe on the streets in montgomery county is the goal but should it be done with a curfew or an

anti-loitering measure? county lawmakers are at odds over which one to choose. two members proposed the antiloitering option as an alternative to a curfew proposed by ike leggett. they feel the antiloitering ordinance is less likely to lead to age or racial profiling. >> it should be based on behavior, not age and that's what the executive says he's trying the get at. this is a much better way to get at it. >> how much a spokesperson for ike leggett released a statement saying quote -- is similar law was taken off the books in 2006. a commission set up by the general assembly is recommending the state's gas tax be raised 15 cents a gallon and that's not all. the commission also suggests doubling the cost of emission

inspections, increasing car registration fees, and hiking m. a. r. c. and commuter bus fees all to help offset the shortfalls in maryland in transportation funds. 5:06. >> and jessica doyle is here with today's headlines, wall street, wow, not good. >> not good at all and more red arrows again this morning. some stocks down in asia overnight. europe though is making some small gains this morning and investors facing down major head winds today with worries about corporate profits and the economy here and the debt crisis in europe. these factors combined to spark a selloff on wall street with the dow which had gained more than 400 points in three trading sessions giving back half the gains. checking the numbers this morning --

as people leave in europe. >> what a bad decision. why in the world did they think people would take this lying down? >> this is going to be one of the stock cases that they teach in business school for decades to come. what do you have for us? >> two things we love. tech and our pets. we're going to combine those with some products and we'll show them to you coming up in about 30 minutes. and this is something we love. ben's chili bowl came out last night to feed the "occupy wall street" protestors camped out in washington, d.c. but a lot less friendly this morning out west. that's where police have been clashing with a persistent group of demonstrators, more on that side of the story next. the figure who is became well-known during the 2008 presidential campaign will be testing out the political waters as a candidate in 2012. we'll be back.

welcome back to 9news now. 5:15. here's howard with the forecast. we may not like. yes, especially into the weekend. we got the colder air moving in and some wet weather moving in. so saturday may be a loss. yesterday, we were thinking it was going to be all right. outside anyway. inside, be fine. go to a movie or the mall but outdoor weather saturday not looking autothat great. the bus stop forecast. partly to mostly cloudy skies and our sunrise not until 7:28 this morning. sets at about 6:15 this afternoon. day planner, little bit of sun this morning. but i think we'll have that with mostly cloudy skies today. noontime temps in the mid 60s. upper 60s at 5:00. may be seeing a shower or two

by then with a mid-afternoon high right around the 70-degree mark. this morning 57 down south in southern maryland. tappahannock is 50. richmond is 49 the morning. to the west, culpeper 56. cumberland 41 degrees but generally a southwesterly winds and that's going to keep us mild today. reagan national's at 54 be a south southwesterly winds at 10 and that dew point sitting at 44 degrees. much colder air not just in canada now but from denver north through the rockies. 20s and 30s and there's actually quite a snowstorm raging in and around the denver area. they had 80-degrees for a record high a couple of days ago. this morning, some of the forecasts just north of denver call for as much as a foot of snow and maybe 2 feet in the mountains to their west. it is snowing in the mile-high city this morning and it's headed east. for us we've got the showers this morning from new york and pennsylvania back through the ohio valley. that's moving east and i do think we're going to seal a few of the showers actually survive

the trip across the mountains later this afternoon and this evening. middle of the day mostly cloudy. isolated sprinkle in the mountains. as we go through the afternoon and evening hours look how the rain showers head out of west virginia and into virginia. this is by 7:00. so we may get through much of the daylight part of the day dry but by this evening a few showers. tomorrow morning, some more rain will be approaching the region with a front. front is going to slip through in the afternoon. the mild air will be replaced with the goldier air. that means a couple of snow showers potentially in northern pennsylvania, new york state and the cat skills, western massachusetts. this gets out of here though thursday night. so friday is chillier but see the moisture there? that heads this way for saturday. saturday, we may not get out of the 40s with the chilly rain and i mean mid 40s. today 70 and an isolated shower late. torrent we're going to be into the 50s again. tomorrow we don't recover much. 64. winds are going to pick up out of the northwest late in the day. it will turn cold and chilly on

most familiar faces won't be taking the field at all again this season. >> tight end chris cooley, he was trying to overcome lingering knee problems that forced him to miss the entire preseason when he broke his finger october 16th against the eagles. except in 2009, cooley has played in every game of his seven year career all with the redskins. now with more on the nba lockout situation, dave owens and "usa today's" jeff zillgitt. >> we will have an nba season. i can't tell you when it's going to start but at the end of the day there's too much money for both sides to let a full season go by the wayside. >> people are glad to hear that. players get 57% of basketball related revenue right now. how can they justify their stance? >> the one thing dave is they felt they already made concessions, they came down from the 57% to 53%.

which it amounts to about $160 million in annual givebacks from players to owners. the players felt they met owners halfway and that's enough right now. >> when we read the tea leaves, magic number 51%? you think that's going to get it done? >> it will probably be in the neighborhood of 51%, 52% to players, 48%. 49% to owners and that will be enough at the end of day to get a deal done. we're not there yet. >> we're certainly not there yet. so what's got to happen in the next couple of weeks so we don't lose more games? >> owners are going to continue to drive a hard bargain and players are going to have to give up maybe another percentage 2004 of the basketball related -- or two of the basketball related income and maybe do what hockey did. if it's not a good a year, revenues for players are not as high and i think that's the direction we're headed. >> you mentioned hockey and the nhl model. ted leonsis has been on both

sides. how key of a role is he playing on this thing? >> ted is not on the nba's labor regists committee but he hassen -- relations committee but he has been an important voice. to ted's case and owners, they know the precise cost/benefit of a lost season. and so owners want exact -- they know exactly what they want and i think at the end of the day they will get pretty close to it. >> prediction, in a couple of weeks or months maybe? >> i think games around december 25th, january 1st. enough to have maybe a 55, 60 game season. >> sort of like we did in 1998/ '99 when the spurs beat the knicks in the championships. >> jeff zillgitt. appreciate your time. >> thank you dave. >> coming up, we'll show you some new high-tech gadgets for you and your pets. plus, a report due out next week has some pretty disturbing news on just how much is getting past security at tsa's check points.

good morning, welcome back to 9news now, 5:47. it's wednesday morning. we're almost to the weekend. but, will we like it? here's howard. >> well, we'll be off for a couple of days and that's always a plus right? but saturday is not looking that hot right now. in fact it's looking chilly and damp. the storm system which yesterday thought might stay south of us, looks like it wants to come visit and that means potentially a cold rain on saturday. we might even get a couple of wet flakes north and west the mix in andrea. >> i knew you were going to say that. >> the terps have a home game saturday afternoon. sorry maryland fans, weather may not too great for you. this morning at the bus stop forecast, partly to mostly cloudy. 40s and 50s. so you'll need a jacket. sunrise not until about 7:28 setting at 6:15. our day planner, calling for a little bit of sun this morning. as we go through the day though

i think the clouds will thicken up. mostly cloudy by this afternoon. upper 60s by 1:00. winds pretty steady at 10 and maybe 15 at times so at times it will be a little breezy. 70 degrees by 3:00 and late this afternoon, we could get a couple of showers. this may even hold off until off dark for most of us and then tonight and tomorrow, a much better chance of rain. columbia is 53. it's 56 from croftton. westton also in the 40s. lovettsville 42. down south fort belvoir 54 degrees and bethesda this morning an even 50 also. national airport 54 with a south southwesterly wind at 10. dew point at 44. so that gives us a relative humidity of 69%. across the country we've got several storm systems, weaker one here and to the northeast and then out in the rockies, this one is doing a number on colorado. denver seeing snow. going to get anywhere from 6 to 12 inches, heaviest on the north side of town and maybe a couple of feet in the mountains
