we'll talk about jeffrey toobin and beth karas. she was in the courtroom today. d today, not before the prison guard testified that he heard one of the suspects tell another inmate that he thought dr. petit might have been in on the crime to get insurance money, but there's no evidence of that. >> oh, no. that was investigated and there's absolutely no evidence of it, and the family reacted -- dr. petit reacted angrily outside of court today and said he wasn't even going to dignify it with a response. there is no evidence. he was very severely wounded. he was tied up in the basement, and able to free his hands and hop out of the basement and rolled to a neighbor's home and yell for help. >> in fact he's the one to motivate the police moving in because that was the first indication anything was going wrong. basically, the defense for this guy, for hayes, seems to be pointing the finger of the real responsibility at the other co-defendant. >> that's the only defense because even hayes' lawyers are not asserting that he was not a participant, that he was somehow inno

beth karas, appreciate it. closing arguments are later in the week. >> friday, presumably a verdict relatively soon next week. and then, if it's guilty, as, you know, it almost certainly will be, the -- then there will be a penalty phase. that's why the gasoline is so significant. because it suggests premeditation. and premeditation is very important part of a death penalty consideration. >> even if they got the death penalty, it would be years before they're executed. >> connecticut has a death penalty on the books but there have hardly been any executions for 20 years. there was one. but -- so this is a beginning of a very long legal process, if the jury even sentences them. >>> thanks. >>> up next, one of the men suing pastor eddie long speaking out for the first time. his message for bishop long and why he has no reason to lie. >>> and why gloria estefan climbed out of a window at the miami dolphins game. investors are demanding more for their money. good. this time, i'm watching fees like a hawk. i hate hi

but, this has generated such emotional response, we heard beth karas say moments ago and betty in her connecticut basically voted to repeal the death penalty but the governor vetoed that and part was this case. this case, i've tried five death penalty cases, very different and very hard on everybody involved. this case is so atrocious, i think even some people who are opponents of the death penalty would have second thoughts about this. >> and do you think it will change the way things are done in connecticut? we all know as you pointed out, both beth and betty touched about this what the legislature voted and what the governor ended up doing and how hard dr. petit fought for that. moving forward, what effect could this have? >> you could have a bizarre scenario, they go through the trial of the two men and the juries will find them guilty, probably, and two separate trials within a trial, jury says guilty of murder or not guilty or giltd of something less. if they say guilty of murder they move to the penalty phase, another small trial within the trial and say whether they live or di
