is debby hines. she's former baltimore city prosecutor. debby, just to put this in context, officer porter was charged with indangerment, failing to call for a medic and for not buckling mr. gray into a police transport van. based on these charges and these allegations what do you make of the hung jury? >> well, you know, it was a very difficult case for the prosecution. it's always been a difficult case for the prosecution. the reason is that improving in this case they had to prove in action. and in most manslaughter cases you're proving an action that that someone did. in this case they had to prove that he failed to have his feet down and he failed to call the hospital and medic for mr. gray. that just made the matter an uphill battle for the prosecution. >> the failure to take certain actions as opposed to taking direct action that you could say led to his death. given that uphill climb as you described it, that does not change in a second effort to try mr. porter, what do you do with the decision to move forward with a second trial?

debbie: yeah.: one of the benefits of designing a new space is your ability to add more chairs. with the new, updated design, we should be able to add eight new chairs and eight new stylists to go along with it. if each stylist can generate approximately $1,500 a week in sales, on an annual basis, those eight stylists would generate $576,000 in additional gross revenue. the styling of hair and hair color is our core focus. we need everything else that goes along with that. whether that's fixing the product or adding other products and services, we're gonna do that. so, a big chunk of the money we're gonna spend is to build a new color bar and really increase our distribution of the product. in order for this business to be successful i want to make sure that we have clarity in the end on who's in charge of what. who's in charge of this location? raise your hand if you know who's in charge. see the problem? for the next period of time, there will be no question i'm 100% in charge. all right, we have

. >> immediately after weaver's press conference dnc party chair debbie wasserman schultz, if sanders files had been accessed. the problem is that dnc chair's alleged conflict of interest. debbie wasserman-schultz in addition to being dnc chair, is one of hillary clinton's toughest supporters. limiting the number of democratic debates, most of the few debates that have been scheduled have been scheduled for weekends. that means fewer people watching and less of an opportunity for clinton challengers to break through. the fight with the dnc comes as bernie sanders appears to be gaining some momentum. his campaign has now collected more than 2 million individual contributions averaging less than $30 each. sanders says no other candidate who is not a sitting president has ever received 2 million donations at this point in a white house run. hillary clinton has received a smaller number of total contributions, but her average is higher and when you look at how much cash on hand clinton and sanders appear to have it's nearly even and sanders is already starting to blanket the iowa air wave

this is the second year that they have helped out debbie' s treasure chest. the charity doubled the number of toys available to give to youngsters. debbie' s treasure chest was founded by three children and provides clothing, supplies, and holiday gifts. bob: and paying it forward. pam: a young girl has her bicycle stolen. luckily, police wanted to give her a bike back. >> i have never had something stolen from me. pam: she now plans to find a way to pay it forward to someone else. very nice. bob: that is a real lesson of giving that she will keep with her forever. s right -- that' s right. so what is happening in sports? rparis: there's a lot to do on a dairy farm. nobody's gonna do it for you. ryou have to get out there and do it yourself. p bernie sanders is a well-known friend of family farms. bernie cannot be bought out by big money. bernie's opinion cannot be purchased. pit's time for our next president to get in there, r roll up his sleeves, take off the gloves, and take on wall street, take on big business, take on big money, and get the working class

you can just tell actually by congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz. she has already been feeling the heat. they are going to get heat if this goes on awhile. my guess is the pound of flesh, they fired one staffer, sounds like the chair would like to see a little more flesh before they give access. i bet you they work -- my guess is this gets worked out before the caucus. >> at this hour there's no evidence that sanders or the high command knew anything about it. >> you don't want this hanging over the debate if you are either candidate. i don't think the clinton campaign wants it, i don't think sanders, they do have a debate tomorrow night. and i don't think she wants -- i don't think the chairwoman wants to be -- she already got raked over the coals during one of these debates over the debates so my guess is this gets resolved pretty quickly. >> one other thing that has been acknowledged by other senators on both sides and actually most of the other senators are in the clinton camp, that he has been very respectful to hillary clinton, not taking off

i'll get reaction from dnc chair, congressman debbie wasserman schultz. she will join us in just a few. first, let's bring in msnbc political correspondent and host steve kornacki for more on how this potentially could hurt sanders in the final weeks before the first votes. so, bottom line, let's talk about first, when we say database and this information, as i understand it, this is information on voters' buying habits, consumer information so that the campaigns can strategize how to reach these important voters. is that the case, steve? >> well, yeah. when you're the bernie sanders campaign and you are relying on a breakout showing in iowa or new hampshire, those first two states, it's all about grassroots outreach, it's all about personally identifying these voters, getting volunteers out there to talk to them, to motivate them, to get them out to the polls, to find out who they are. that's all the information you get from a file like this. to have that access shut off, if this turns into a long-term shuto shutoff, this is a very bad-timed thing from t

debbie smile. smile through highs and lows, but it's more than that. debbie also gives them pictures, family pictures, moments, emotions, forever captured by her lens. >> i way she expresses her feelings towards the babies is unconditional and i'm very thankful for that and measle, very blessed to have her in my life. reporter: she gives her time not just here but at katie's clinic which serves girls with a neurological disorder. >> she has been volunteering in our clinic for longer than i've been working there. reporter: she takes pictures there, bringing calm to a difficult and stressful blame and for our girls, they have a lot of motor difficulties. it's difficult for them to respond to a command on cue. that makes it hard to get a good picture. >> it is not always an easy job, but she does it all knowing how important pictures are. even in the heartbreaking moments. her close friend lost a baby years ago. >> on his last day, they took a polaroid and that was their only family picture. it's fade

debby johnson and jerome keever started their tradition last year -- and spent christmas eve with some furry friends. the two along with a few volunteers wore santa hats and handed out dog and cat treats. jerome is a volunteer at the animal foundation. he and debby felt they had everything they needed - and wanted to put the giving spirit in another direction. "we have everything. i mean when it comes to christmas we were giving things to each other that just kind of sat around the house. so it was time to stop giving and find another place to give." they visted with the animals and some new pet parents as they handed out goodies. jerome said the animals needed a christmas treat. one of the most popular last minute gift ideas is card... and this year the popular coffee chain expects record breaking sales. one in seven people are given a starbucks gift card for the holidays. last year more than two and a half million gift cards were sold on december 24th. customers say they're not surprised. "i got one, so yeah, i'm in there." the coffee chain expects gift card sales to hit a record on
