so if olivia newton john is telling him to go kill, he knows it's wrong, even if it's still olivia newtons not guilty by reason of insanity. the fact that he rented a car beforehand. he's wearing a hood. that it seems that there was premeditation to avoid detection is very bad for him. it shows some degree of understanding that what he was doing was wrong. >> the claim of the affair with the victim's wife. the prosecution and the defense say it was happening. she denies it. >> it is by star. both prosecutors and defense saying, as if it was a given, yeah, there was an i fair between them. and both of them sort of using it for different reason. then you have the very first witness in the case testifying for the prosecution saying, no, there was no affair. and then the prosecutor is cross-examining her about it. it doesn't really matter that much. the defense would have been better off if their position was, well, he was delusional about the affair. and so, no, there wasn't actually an affair. he thought there was. >> everything is just made up. >> that could have set into the insanity defe

he said he did it because he had gone insane, that he was visited by an angel, olivia newton john, andy white, who instructed him to kill. i'm a little confused. does this, is this -- is this -- do you get a sense, how do you know if someone's insane? this is almost so insane as to be fake insane. >> exactly and that's my thoughts. in georgia now, they're standard is could this person dif wrennuate between right and wrong so the mental illness portion is separate. whether the person is mentally ill and in this case, they're saying he's bipolar. you can be bipolar and have delusions, but still know who's right or wrong. >> one of the problems, too, that i think the defense has with that argument, that this guy was guilty by reason of instanty is that this was a man operating at a high level. he was a high level operations manager at general electic. managed about 5,000 engineers and managed a budget of $800 million, so it's very difficult to have someone come from that back ground, no history of mental illness. >> how do they test someone to be insane? could you fake it? >> well i'll te

is the latest twist in a trial that's already made claims of seeing an angel that looks like olivia newton johnnd a demon that looks like barry white. we're not talking about some random witness who was tossed out of the courthouse. this woman is integral to the trial, she is the victim's widow. i can't imagine this happens very often. >> it really doesn't. this is just extraordinary, brooke. it's remarkable, and it doesn't happen because witnesses listen to the judge, they listen to prosecutors when they were instructed not to have any contact with other witnesses. well, this witness, andrea sneiderman, as you mentioned, the widow of the victim in this case, doesn't seem to get it. she doesn't seem to listen. perhaps she doesn't want to. but right there in the courtroom after one of her friends testified, she hugged her friend in front of the jury. you see it right here. but then, brooke, she follows it outside and says to the woman, you are no longer my friend since you don't believe me. and that is because andrea has just completely, completely stated and denied that she did not have an affa

and one controlled by a demon in the form of barry white and an angel looking like olivia newton-john. >> has he spoken to you about any dilution s delusions he had having? >> no. >> near the end of the day, another witness testified how newman bought the murder weapon from him and gave him money to keep quiet about it. >>> this cat will tell you when you're done petting him. this kitten just apparently can't get enough attention and if you dare to ignore him, he won't let you forget about it. this video has wrapped up 1.3 million hits since it was posted just a couple of days ago. hopefully that's enough attention for the feline and this attention we're giving it awell. very cute. it is now six minutes past the hour. some more, please? let's go out to al for a check of your weather. awww. >> natalie, i have to do the same thing with our camera man, i have to -- and then he pets me. >> it works! >> prrrrr. thanks so much. hi! >> hi. >> where you guys from? >> buffalo. >> buffalo, all right. shuffle off to buffalo. >> my mom's tummy. you're from your mom's tummy. very good. how do you

. >> especially when you hear olivia newton john, barry white. >> they're going to focus on an dee ya sni -- andrea sneiderman. they're going to say there are experts. this is really tough to demonstrate that he didn't understand what he was doing was wrong. if he didn't understand, why didn't he admit it after the fact. why did he try to wear a disguise, cover up what he was doing. that makes it a harder case than many insanity. i think some people have this impression that people get off all the time in insanity defenses. they almost never win. >> thanks, dan. >>> sam, you looked great out there on the water yesterday. spectacular. sfwlit was so fun. beautiful yesterday. a perfect day. in case it comes up today, leap day, here's kind of -- how it works. so 365 days in the calendar. the trip around the sunday takes 365 days plus six hours. so every four years, we add a day to make up for the fact that we haven't counted those six hours before. >> thank you, mr. science. nice, well done. well done. >> the math that was going on in the weather area just moments ago was like, phew, i'm
