the jury said they were deadlocked. we are following the developments from court house east. him?d, the only word from the jury was the message to the judge saying they are deadlocked on two charges. the judge ordered them back into deliberations to try to come to a consensus. >> obviously, they are considering the case very seriously. that is all anyone could ask for. it could be that 11 are holding out in favor of acquittal. it could be another number. >> there are a lot of unknowns about what is going on in the jury deliberation room. what we do know is around noon wednesday the jury sent a message to the judge saying they could not reach a unanimous verdict on the counts of felony murder and conspiracy. the three defendants, charles mcganey, gary collins, and jerome williams face three charges related to the murder in september 2008. attorneys do not know whether the jury has already reached a verdict on the other charges or not. >> they may not have gotten to the rest of the case or they may have already decided. >> in the first days of deliberation, the jury asked a number o

is sending a message he is up for the death penalty and the same jury will come back and decide his fate. they will decide sentencing in another hearing to immediately follow this. so the same jury that will decide guilt or innocence will decide whether he should be put to death or not. we have a sheet with all the different counts on it. as this is read i'll be going through it to figure out what's the regular murder charge versus the capital murder charge and we'll get a quick read about whether he faces the death penalty or not, contessa. i'm seeing more and more security guards coming to the courtroom now so we believe this is getting close. >> so you were explaining to me earlier in this process and, again, we were talking about whether this was considered a quick decision or a slow decision and a lot of watchers thought the jury would be in and out because there was a lot of evidence in this particular case but what are some of the questions the jurors wanted answered in order to -- wait, wait, wait. we're getting it in. count one guilty. >> repor

would that argument sway the jury? here is dennis murphy. >> the world of pills -- prescription medicines, pharmaceuticals, is where he made it big. >> he was moses. he was walking on water. everybody loved him. >> paul seemed to go straight from a college intern job behind the druggist counter to the big money lifestyle of a pharmaceutical executive. on the way up, he struck so many bosses as a natural with innovative ways to make money out of medicine. >> he could do almost anything. >> for years, this hard-charging golden boy seemed to have all the perks and bennies an executive could want. a million dollar paycheck, beautiful house in the suburbs, wife and kids. just like that it all slipped away. there wasn't a pill on the shelf to reverse the dizzying decline. >> he did say, you know, everything that i've worked for, you know, is gone. my reputation is -- i'm struggling to hold on to that. >> someone was siccing industry watch dogs on him, slurring his name with innuendo about shady deals and kickbacks. as it turn

what's going to go on, star, inside the jury room? ey have heard horrific testimony, seen horrifying pictures. >> i have no idea how they've been able to sit there. i could barely read the account of the testimony. >> i'm with you the ex-prosecutor in me says kill them now, do not pass go, do not collect $200, push the plunger, want your hands, go home and kiss your children. they should be gone. this specific defendant, mr mr. hayes is responsible for every aspect, either as a principal or accessory. >> which is not what his lawyer says. his lawyer says, dan, yes, he was there, yes, he did strangle the mom, but he did it under duress, because the other guy, he knew, was wielding a baseball bat and, frankly, he was sort of portrayed as this guy who was a petty thief who got caught up in this horrible event the problem with that, it's not a defense to the charge, meaning when talking about felony murder, all he has to have done actually intended to do was one of the felonies, which could be the rape, robbery, arson. >> does it have to b

i don't know how the jury will react. penalty cases. you don't have patterns for knowing what jurors react to in death penalty cases and not, but the jurors -- one thing prosecutors always can say in a case like this is, if not the death penalty for this case, then for what? >> sunny, we've seen the pictures of this guy buying, i guess it was hayes, buying gasoline before they even did this job. you know, did the robbery that then turned into the murder. that seems to show premeditation to at least want to burn down the house, which seems to indicate they maybe were planning to kill these people. >> well, certainly, and i think that's been the question all along. did he have the intent to kill? because in his statement to the detective that interviewed him right afterwards, he said i was just in this for the money. the plan changed. things got out of control. but the fact that he was caught as we're showing on tape buying gasoline and he also admitted to pouring gasoline on the staircase which was the only exit for the pet

the judge charged the jury going over the instructions, that the jury needed to come in for clarificationtorneys in this case wanted clarification on one of the counts and wanted to talk about how the exhibits would work as far as how they would be brought into the jury deliberation room and what they would see. 200 pieces of evidence that were shown during the trial will be brought into that room. we know from watching the jurors in this trial that a lot of those exhibits for hard for them to watch. specifically the crime scene photos that we'll pass around were too gruesome and heartbreaking to show in open court. that of the bodies that were found on the bed. we have seen the pictures of the burned out beds that were inside the petit home. the jury had a difficult time seeing that. a couple of them did cry. but they are in there now, they have begun deliberations. we'll bring you the latest from the courtroom when they start asking questions. megyn: what a task they have before them. the terror threat overseas, security tight in europe now a brand-new country is urging caution. details

but they do have a chance i will discount that. >> the other issues jury instruction the case should be overturned and prior to oscar grants anything significant? >> not significant but you never know what the judge will glove onto and find some important. one of the things are talking that is the use of the weapon being inconsistent with the involuntary manslaughter verdict. so with that that goes more to sentencing. if they're successful in that argument i think the judge will not grant the new trial and say i'm not going to sentence him on the gun used and i will only sentence on the involuntary manslaughter which is a two, three or four year sentence. >> all of this coming up in november. thank-you. yesterday we reported the caltrans is considering cutting service in grazing fees. now we have learned that caltrans administrative payroll has grown 14 percent over the last three years. when benefits are added and the total compensation jumped 34%. this pay raise comes as the transit agency grappled with the $2 million budget deficit. as caltrans spokesperson explains those numbers
