. >> let's bring in "gma" legal analyst dan abrams.rned because the judges failed to say one word in jury instructions. you say it's more than a technicality. >> it's the ultimate legal technicality but really important legal technicality because you're talking about the difference between pregnancy being a motoring separating in why she was fired or not hired versus it being a substantial motivating factor. >> but isn't it illegal to hire or fire anybody because they're pregnant for any reason? >> well, not -- it depends on what level meaning in this case and in california based on this new ruling from the california supreme court has to have been a substantial reason meaning if it's one of a number of reasons saying, well, we believe it was this and this and this and this and let's say it was 80% -- >> why even throw in the pregnancy and just say it was this, this and this and the pregnancy had nothing to do with it. >> the defense is that. the can he is what does the jury find and the point is that in essence the jury played by the

let's get more on this from "gma" legal analyst dan abrams.he prosecutor didn't think much of the brief psychotic defense. >> tough defense. they presented two witnesses, a psychiatrist and a relative, and even though the prosecution still has the burden to say he was not insane, this is a very tough thing to get a jury to accept. i think the best shot that the defense has here is second degree murder which would mean that the jurors don't believe the prosecutors proved premeditation or extreme atrocity or cruelty. now, even that's going to be tough to get second degree murder here. but the notion that a jury would acquit based on a brief psychotic episode would be almost unheard of. >> might they just be reluctant to send a 20-year-old to life without parole. >> they might and why i think he has a shot at second degree murder, life in prison with the opportunity for parole after something like 15 years. sympathy for the defendant is the best he can hope for, i think, in this case, although, look, the defense is going for it all here and hopin

[ cheers and applause ] i want you to -- i want you to come back and do our show again. i want to show everyone a clip. >> oh, good. >> jimmy: this is next week's episode of "revolution." elizabeth mitchell. >> oh, gosh, they don't show me anything. good. >> sooner or later, monroe will find us. there's no home to go back to. >> then we leave the monroe republic. >> it's all going to be the monroe republic. >> rachel -- >> i gave monroe the amplifier, he has the helicopters because of me. all of this, is because of me. if it's not up to

and why are we giving f-16's and abrams tanks, and the president associated with terrorist organization and publicly called jews blood suckers and the descendents of apes and pigs. the president will be going to israel next week and it's important that the american people give him a message rather he give the israelis a message. mr. president, america stands with israel because it's a mirror image of freedom and democracy. before you ask israelis to give up land, ask the palestinians to give up terrorism. in the meantime, tell the israelis to build as much as they can and tell the palestinians if they don't like it, they can recognize the right of the israelis to exist safely and securely within their god given biblical boundaries. that's probably never going to happen so i say pour the concrete, build the houses and let israel be strong. [applause] a new poll shows the president's approval rating a 5% drop since the beginning of the second term just two months ago and the same shows 52% of americans disapprove of the way he's handling the economy. the president is now making an effort

this is jj abrams, one of the best director/producers out there. he did the unthinkable. he agreed to direct the new star wars. that started a revolt, a mutiny. listen to me. i certainly did not write this. will surratt is obsessed with star wars, star trek, and all things between. i had to practice it quite a few times because pop culture references aren't my forte, either. have a good weekend. anderson cooper 360 starts right now. >> erin, thanks. good evening, everyone. tonight, killer romance. how travis alexander met the woman who would one day stab, slash, and shoot him. were there warning signs? dr. drew pinsky and mark geragos to look at the surreal murder trial of jeodi arias. also, john mccain tell s me there's plenty of blame to go around for the cuts, and he said some of those cuts could put american lives at risk. >> we begin with a man who watched his brother swallowed up by the earth and the nightmare isn't over yet. the sinkhole that opened up late last night inside this home in a tampa suburb. that's right, a sinkhole inside the home. at much as 30 feet a

abrams is going to direct it.who's working with some of the folks who were involved in some of the earlier films. and when the story is quot quote/unquote broken, then we'll make decisions about the cast. >> is this something that you've talked to them about already? >> talking to the -- >> the actors? >> yes, there have been discussions already. >> let me ask you about "star wars" and the lucas acquisition. that seems so perfect for disney, given that you have all the fantastic characters out there in terms of animation. what do you envision the biggest opportunity with lucas on top of marvel, on top of pixar? >> well, it is perfect for disney. interestingly enough, we've had a great relationship with "star wars" for years. we have "star wars"-based attractions at a number of our parks, here and overseas, in japan and paris, in florida and in california. they've done very well for us. this is, you know, perfect for disney, because we manage great character franchises, starting with mickey mouse, who was introduce

in 2006 they pleaded guilty to charges from the jack abram lobbying scandal.ange for votes and served 17 months in prison. now he's going after his old buddy john boehner in a new book. nay accuses boehner of allegedly having an extramarital affair, heavy drinking, taking thousands of dollars in gifts from lobbyists and just being lazy. i spoke today on my radio show today. he thinks boehner's past has a lot to do with the gridlock in washington. >> as we talk about sequestering and fiscal cliffs, the advocacy money and the lobby money is flowing all thoefr place to make decisions. and at the helm is a person, the speaker of the house, that was involved in all of these things with abramoff. and i think people have a right to know what the third in line to the presidency is about. >> he also told me that boehner is concerned about one thing, himself. >> at no point in time have i ever heard in 25 years john boehner say, bob, that's just not good for people or, that is good for people. this is his personality. it is about his survival as speaker. so if he has to

. >>> for more, let's bring in dan abrams. you heard from the sentencing from alex. where do we go from here? >> mays has to serve a minimum of two years in a juvenile facility. richmond, a minimum of one year. i point out the minimum, because they both could serve up to the time that they're 21 years old. that's just part of it. both have to register as sex offenders. the remaining question is how long? could it be for the rest of their lives? that's yet to be determined. >> the judge has not ruled on that as of yet. >> correct. >> what was your reaction when you heard the verdict? >> i think that most people following the case thought this was likely to happen. not a sure thing. the lawyers, clearly for the two defendants, didn't expect this. remember, the big win came earlier when the case was moved from adult court to juvenile court. think about the difference. if this case had been in adult court and there had been a conviction in adult court, you would be talking about many, many, many years behind bars. here, you're talking about a minimum of one year in juven

for more now we bring in "gma's" legal analyst dan abrams. and, dan, the disdain and sarcasm.uple more. is arias taking medication for her terrible ptsd disorder? isn't it possible arias didn't write anything negative about the victim because there was nothing negative to write. >> they're mocking him. it's more than just sort of disdain and disbelief. they're overtly mocking an expert in their questions to him. sort of filled with sarcasm in the way they're asking him. let's say this, the fact that a juror, the fact that the majority of the jurors don't buy it for a second is not that surprising. this has been an almost impossible defense from day one. the question is, is there one person? is there one person who's going to hang up the jury is there one person who will possibly -- >> believe her enough. >> argue for a second degree murder conviction here. i think jodi arias' defense team has to know there is almost no chance, i would argue there is no chance that they are going to win an acquittal based on self-defense. >> this is one of the few states that allows jurors in c

. >> let's get more from dan abrams. you had to go back to the law books.ances she wiped away the debts? >> she won't be able to wipe iowa all of them. like lie she'll wipe iowa a lot -- wipe away a lot of them. any money she owes to people for services. >> that's a big chunk. >> they don't seem to care. it doesn't seem to me that the lawyers are expecting to see any of that money. the money she may not be able to era erase, criminal penalties or fins. irs money she owes depending on how old the debt is. what about the money to the sheriff's department and investigators she was ordered to pay. well over $100,000. is that viewed as a criminal penalty or fine? my guess is, probably not. it will be viewed as money she ode for effectively services. and as a result, that might get erased as well. the big question is the civil lawsuits. >> the lawyer fightsiing so har yesterday was the lawyer in the civil suit. >> i think that's the reason they're doing this. she wants to get window of the civil lawsuits. there's an exception for willful injury that would not all
