. >> ken davis is a spokesperson for the georgia emergency management agency.much on the ground and what are you dealing with? >> we are holding our own right now. but just say it is icy and very cold. >> ken, what are you doing differently this time around than two weeks ago? >> this time around, we just have a lot of people on the ground ahead of time and we are continuing to field request for assistance. fortunately most of the people in georgia heeded the messaging from the local and state authorities to stay off of the roads and so crews are able to get out and about. and treat the roads and respond to downed power lines and trees and so forth. >> are you in atlanta. the town has been shut town. most schools and dpft offices are closed. do you stand by that reaction? >> that was a opportunity move as proved by the conditions of the roads and the situation with power out ages and we have approximately 200,000 customers without power statewide. that number is expected to grow later today and early morning on thursday as wind gusts increase to 20 miles per ho

davis. >> all right. ken, your reaction to the verdict. >> well, justice was not completely served here. we have a stand your ground law in florida which trips up juries. it creates violence out on the streets. it places our young men and women in danger. and when it comes time for justice at a courtroom and a trial, the stand your ground law is inserted into the law, and it makes it more difficult for juries to understand how to apply this law and how to get to justice. when the evidence is as clear as it is in this case, and this was a very strong, very clear second-degree murder case. when you have a case like that, and then you insert this law that makes it very difficult for jurors to apply and to understand and be able to not be confused, you lead to problems where you can't get a verdict and you get a hung jury. and then on top of that, a prosecution team where the jury makes the same mistakes. it was clearly a case of being overcharged. it was clearly a second-degree murder case in my mind, and the time and energy should have been spent on explaining to the jury the application o

davis is running. >>> the creation museum and founder ken ham in in genesis say they have finally raised enough moneybridging in the building. they are making a noah's ark theme park. the 500 acre park will feature live animal shows and a first century village. it will open the summer of 2016. >> my little boys would love that. >> nearly breaking a show record ar sha arkansas cha -- he wouldn't kno 58,000 dollars. it is the second biggest amount ever won in a single day. the record stands at 77,000 dollars. strategy of picking the high dollar amounts and seeking out dale will he doubles 230,000 dollars total. critics say that strategy he uses is simply unfair. >> you better bundle up before you leave the house. millions waking up to windchills below zero. >> tracking another storm. >> busy couple of days here at the weather center. we have a storm system impacting the west today and over the next couple days it produces all kinds of weather for the planes and eventually in the northeast. the current temperatures you mentioned them below zero. 23 degrees below zero is what it feels like currently. we

ken. when we talk about a mistrial on the most important charge here, that's the shooting of jordan davis, and does this amount to a prosecutorial fail. >> it is. because the whole purpose of having a trial is to seek justice, and justice is interpreted as having a resolution, and in this case, there's no resolution october first count of first-degree murder. and there's no resolution, so there's a fail on the part of the prosecution, and now they have to use taxpayer's money and retry this case, and try again with a jury of 12 people, and it's a first-degree murder charge. >> is that a strategic charge? going after the murder 1 charge? >> absolutely, i continuously said that this is a very weak first-degree murder case. it's a much stronger second-degree murder case. and in fact, this is a textbook law school second-degree murder. you have spite. and ill will and cop tempt. and you have it happening in the matter of second. and it's opposed to coldblood with first-degree murder, hours or weeks ordeals of planning. and florida law does not less a time period, so technically, they have a fi

meantime, davis's parents told news, they believed the jury acted in good faith and hope to have justice for their son. >> ken padowitz joins us from davey, florida. we couldn't get to, couldn't understand what the jury was thinking. if you thought that this individual was guilty of attempted murder how can there be no decision when it involved an actual death of the individual? mr. davis? was there an answer from what the juror said? >> well, this juror gave everybody a lot of insight into what went on in that jury room. you had 12 people that had to deliberate and listen to the evidence and then apply the law to the case. and what we hear from this juror is that two and then eventually three jurors were convinced that they had a reasonable doubt about self defense. in other words they bought this self-defense argument which includes the stand your ground instruction. that was what was preventing them from coming back with a guilty verdict. so you ended up having a hung jury. so the insight from this juror is very helpful to the defense and the prosecution, the next time that this case gets retried in front

ken padowitz joins us again from florida. appreciate you being with us again. >>> we talk about a mistrial on the shooting of jordan davis, theling of him, that's the mistrial here, does this amount to a prosecutorial fail? >> it is a prosecutorial fail, because the process is to seek justice and justice is interpreted as having a resolution. in this case, there is no resolution on the very important first count of murder. there is no resolution. so yes, there is a fail on the part of the prosecution. no now they have to use -- now they have to use taxpayers money and attempt again with a jury of 12 people since it's a first degree murder charge to convict said -- >> is that a murder charge that first charge? >> i have continued to say this is a very weak first degree murder case. it is a much, much stronger second degree murder case. this is a textbook second degree murder. spite and evil intent. that really goes to what's called hot blood as opposed to first degree murder, cold blood, where most people think of premeditation as taking days or weeks or hours of planning. yes florida law does not list a specific time period s

forcing the lululemon executive to resign to keeping ken cuccinelli out of the governor's mansion in virginia and for making things like sandra fluke, wendy davishe plight of female sex assault victims in syria matter to the masses. the executive social editor, elizabeth plank, joins us now to talk about it. liz, thank you so much for being here. and you do go into 23 specific campaigns, but one of the things that i was thinking about too is i think there's been a broader awareness brought to society of what sexism looks like and what sort of things are going to cause you to become the focus of one of these campaigns. so it's caused a general shift. >> exactly. i think people are realizing that sexism is not just bad for women, it's bad for business. if you insult women, you're insulting the people who are making the major -- sort of like the decisions when it comes to the consumer market. who determines what we buy. who determines who's going to be online. it's 85% of the consumer that's driven by women. >> when you look at your list, so much of it is about corporate conduct. feminism has a cultural and political set of associations but corpor

as today or tomorrow, which as jordan davis' mother reminded us would have been jordan's 19th birthday. joining me now, executive director of the dream defenders. kenontinuing deliberation, we thought there might have been an answer yesterday. take us into the jury room and give as you sense of what it is you think -- what's making their deliberations such a challenge? >> well, we're always speculating in every single trial because the jury is back in the jury room and we don't have a window to see into what exactly is going on in that jury room. we can say from having observed this trial, it's a very strong second degree murder case. the prosecution has an indictment for first degree murder and you could make arguments there was a first degree murder, premeditation in the 15 or 30 seconds it took to get the gun and fire it, but in my view it's a much stronger second degree murder case. we do have a window unfortunately or fortunately today. the jury has asked some questions which give us an opportunity to know what's going on in that jury room. the questions go to whether or not they can find on one count that self-defense in fact applies and does

jordan davis's parents said they believe the jury acted in good faith and hope a new jury will bring justice to their son. >> criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor ken joins us from florida. this is what we couldn't understand, what the jury was thinking. if you thought in this individual was guilty of attempted murder, how could there be no decision when it involved a death of the individual. was there an answer from what the juror said? >> well, this juror gave everything a lot of insight into what went on in the jury room. you had 12 people that had to dlish rate and lisp to the evidence. problem listen to the juror, two and three jurors were convinced they had a doubt about self-defence. in other words they bout the self-defence argument, including the stand your ground instruction, preventing them coming back with a guilty verdict. the insight is helpful to the defense and prosecution, the next time the case is retried in front of a new 12 member jury. >> i want to read state government that juror number four said. she said: >> she did say that she felt that mr dunn was guilty of the murder, but also what she's referring to here has to do with

davis. if convicted, dunn could face life in prison. back with us tonight is former prosecutor faith jenkins and florida criminal defense lawyer ken padowitz. ken, it's been 11 hours, 11 hours so far. take us inside that jury room. what does this mean? what is your take on this? >> well, what it means is that they're being very thorough in going through that evidence, taking a look at it, and deliberating amongst themselves as to the meaning of the evidence, as to how much weight they're going to give the evidence, how much weight they're going to give testimonial evidence, how much weight they're going to give the physical evidence that has been entered into evidence in that courtroom. they're being very thorough. any other read, anyone who says that it means by the fact that they're out longer, it leans more towards one verdict or another is basically full of baloney. nobody can say if you have been a trial lawyer and you have tried more than a few cases, nobody can say which way this jury is leaning or what it means. they can be deliberating between first-degree murder and second-degree murder or they may be deliberating between second-

ken. i don't think that the verdict finding attempted second-degree murder is a dismissal of the first -- murder in the first degree because the intent is different. the intent that he had with respect to davis, the actual victim and the one that he fought with is one thing. the intent he had with respect to others in the car whom he confronted belatedly and probably didn't realize were there is a different thing. the fact that the jury did not acquit him of first-degree murder is telling. i'd like to know what the count was. i'd like to know how the jury hung. was it 11-1? was it 11-1 for conviction on first degree? we don't know that. but the fact that the jury left the first degree on the table and did not acquit him of it is to me evidence that they should proceed wit. i certainly would. >> now, ken, what do you think the defense will do differently? if you were defending dunn, what would you do differently? >> well, they're definitely going to do the same exact thing the prosecutors are going to do. they're going to wait to hear and see if any of the jurors speak up. if they give a window to both the prosecution and the defense as to what was going on in that jury room and in the minds
