loved ones close to the case and willing to comment along with the heartbroken residents of nearby haden township. after being stoic for six weeks, he let out a deep breath he looked up as if in prayer and looked to his parents for their reaction to dead locked jury of his peers. >> d.j. is upset. he wanted to go home today and be with his family. it's a tough case. they gave it their all. >> not the boy's mother, nor prosecutors nor the parents. >> any relief? sdwl no comment right now. >> reporter: could put their emotions into words. we asked the defense attorney why he thinks the jury asked repeatedly to see the police interrogation and then got stuck unable to reach a verdict. >> these are such sense ty facts. i understand. >> reporter: a quick ten minutes from the courthouse blue ribbons still hang on homes along cooper street and people here mourn again. >> it's just a shame really. just for justice for brendan. i went to school with sam. >> reporter: one woman learned the outcome when she saw something beside the bench. >> there's a decision made and i'm scared to know what it is

kind of a background is naive and, you know, i have to agree with the former cia director michael haden, naive to a point where it is really discouraging. >> i want to ask you think, because you are listening you have been listening to all of this. do you go it was knew eve to put someone in such a senior role and to possibly have these sort of relationships or communications with foreign adversaries? do you think it was naive of the president to do that. >> he could appoint whoever he wants. >> any president always people around him he can trust but you have got to give them appropriate roles. in this case, it's somebody who has never had a security clearance, never really worked in diplomacy. didn't really understand the structure of the united states government or the pattern of activities or your adversaries. and throw him into the middle of it -- it would -- it's a mistake in judgment in my view. he shouldn't do that to someone. >> kim, lots have been talked about back channel, cnn sources say back channels are set up to discuss matters. explain them. >> they are usually a quiet li

you were on cnn this morning, general haden, talking about this topic exactly, about kwhyo previous option to such special prosecutors but now perhaps you're somewhat changed view because of the events of the last 48 hours and the need for what you called, quote, extraordinary structure to uncover the truth and impose accountability. so with that long-winded buildup, and i apologize for being so long-winded, let me ask you, general clapper, and the rest of the panel, maybe beginning with general hayden -- >> i'll go first. you quoted me from a couple hours ago, which i said instinctively i oppose these sorts of extraordinary structures go longer, deeper, broader than you want and they become destructive in their own right. but i've been disheartened by the events of the last 48 to 72 hours and i'm very close -- i'm not yet decided, senator. as i said on cnn. but i'm very close. i have a far more open mind than i did before lunch two days ago. and we'll see. now, whether the ordinary structures can give the nation sufficient confidence that they will not be impeded, they will be enthused, a
