you know, kerry sanders said that at this diner people started crying. crying when this verdict, and i'm not suhuure tears of joy or anger. >> right. well, this is one of the cases where there is a real disconnect between people who are watching or hearing about it, and watching it on of the and watching the commentary versus those actually sitting inside of the courtroom and those charged with having to determine this woman's fate. i mean, it is one thing to talk about a criminal case like this around the kitchen table with your friends to speculate about it, and it is quite another to be a member of a 12-person panel who actually carries this life and death decision. so that is one thing to remember. and the jurors also that the evidence they heard and the information they had was curtailed to a certain degree. there is issues of admissibility and not everything that the rest of us out here know about the case came before the jurors. >> right and they have been sequestered which is going to be fascinating as they learn details that they were not privy

kerry? >> indeed. at times during this trial when the jury was out of the room show was seemingly nonchalant. at other times when the jury was in the room she was with her head bowed or in tears or she was crying. i'm sure that her lawyers had told her that a quick verdict would not be good. she has been held when she is not in the courtroom in a jail cell here just outside the courtroom. she'll be brought back in to the courtroom in looking at the picture of the courtroom now in a short period of time. you know, the thing that struck me in that closing argument was that one of the prosecutors did a very effective presentation because it was the state that got the final world. and she played that audiotape, that phone call, the very first phone call that casey anthony made home after she was arrested. it was almost as if she let the jurors have only one place to look as that call was playing because the prosecutor was standing directly in front of the jury box and behind her was casey anthony. but as t

kerry: mr. president, i would just ask the senator again, what i'm trying to do is help us get out of this predicament we've got where we've got a couple of days before the united states defaults. everything the senator has said is worthy of inquiry, but isn't it true that if we could get -- i mean, part of the reid proposal and the boehner proposal proposes a joint committee that will be structured somewhat like a base closing commission that will require the senate and the house to vote in expeditious fashion on these kinds of proposals, whatever the joint committee proposes, and if the joint committee doesn't succeed in proposing something, then hopefully either the gang of six or the simpson-bowles commission. so isn't it key now to resolving this crisis and not defaulting our ability to be able to come together on a sufficient trigger or some sufficient mechanism that guarantees we're actually going to deal with the things similar to what the senator is raising? mr. coburn: well, i would no

>> nbc's kerry sanders in orlando tonight, thank you so much. for more on today's closing arguments, we're now joined by kendall coffey, a former u.s. attorney in florida, who has worked on many high-profile cases. he has been closely watching this trial. good evening to you. as you look back, which side has the stronger case after a month-long trial? >> well, the prosecution has a strong circumstantial case based on plenty of forensic evidence. but the question is, do they have without any smoking gun, evidence enough to prove premeditated murder by a mother who apparently loved her child beyond a reasonable doubt? that's why i think in the final analysis, the first-degree murder charge, premeditation, is going to be a close call. >> how important are closing arguments? today's closing arguments? is it your experience that generally jurors already have their minds made up by this point in a trial? or can they be the clincher? >> well i think plenty of the jurors have got very strong feelings before today, as to how this ought to turn out. the c

kerry sanders in orlando. kerry, thanks. >>> the jury has spoken. so many questions remain that some of them kerry brought up. the biggest of them all, what were jurors thinking when they let her off for first-degree murder? this morning on "today," an alternate juror on the case tried to shed some light. >> that's the $64,000 question. but what you have to also remember with casey is the lies just didn't start with the death of caylee. these lies have been going on for two years previously. and so i think it was just the way this family operated and how i personally think the family was dysfunctional. that was the way she had always acted and had continued, you know, with the lies. >> and we're learning more about the makeup of the jury as well including some actually had run ins with the law themselves. we want to bring in our legal panel to break everything down for you here. in burbank, california, we have carl douglas who worked on the o.j. simpson defense team. and in orlando, meg strickler. carl, let me start with you. marcia clark came out t

nbc's kerry sanders is live in orlando to tell us what happened in the courtroom on friday, and kerry, it seemed like yet another bombshell. >> a big bombshell. remember here, casey anthony is accused of the first degree, premeditated murder of her daughter, 2-year-old caylee. and prosecutors say that she used duct tape and chloroform. and a big piece of evidence that they presented during this trial was searches on the home computer in the anthony home for chloroform. those searches were made three months before little caylee died. well, during this trial, cindy anthony, casey's mother, got on the stand and she said, you know what? i made those searches. i wasn't at work that day, i remember the day, i was looking for some information about the plants in the backyard, and whether they might be making my dogs sick, and that was me. well, the prosecution, using this time leading up to their rebuttal case, pulled the records from cindy anthony's employer. they got those records off the computer, they had a compliance officer come in from atlanta and lo and behold it showed not only did

recordhat case, kerry's was an exemplary. there is just enough wanting in the obama record so far that he gave romney a slight opening for his exaggerations' and characters. tavis: you have a lot of words in the new peace. what is it that obama has not done that has led to the failure of righting the wrongs, specifically about the crash? >> the two biggest things is that nobody who created the circumstances for this crash has been punished. low level con people have, bernie madoff has, the people who made the housing bubble have not. they took their fortunes and left while america was holding the bag. that is a failure in law enforcement. obama pledged to do that. he started a task force within the justice department called operation broken trust. it has never had any significant prosecutions or any significant investigation of what went down. the second is a failure to reform wall street. the dodd-frank bill was not great to begin with. poorly staffed agencies have to implement the rules that are besieged by lobbyists. that

as my testimony recounts and senator kerry has noted, there are various leaders of this congress who have indicated they do not believe that the u.s. military operations in libya amount to the kind of hostilities envisioned by the 60-day poll of provision. we believe that view is correct and confirmed by historical practice and the historical practice which i summarize in my testimony suggests that when u.s. forces engage in limited military mission that involves limited exposure for u.s. troops and a limited risk of serious escalation and employs limited military means, we are not involved in hostilities envisioned by the war powers resolution that was intended to trigger an automatic 60-they pulled out. let me say a word about each of these four limitations. first, the nature of the mission is unusually limited. but presidential design, u.s. forces are playing a constraint and supporting role in nato-led multinational civilian protection mission. this circumstance is virtually unique and not found in any of the recent historic situations in which the hostility question has been deb

kerry, amazing story. i don't know if you could write a book about this. must be so flabbergasted by everything that's happened, and i guess -- kerry, let me ask you about this case here. you're smiling, but i don't know. what do you make of it at this point? she's out next wednesday? >> reporter: it's -- it's a remarkable story. the journey is a book, and you're right. i have writ an book. that's why i was smiling and will hopefully have it available as early as next week. i'm waiting for the final chapter to be written. you know that wednesday date, it's a moving target. even though they've done the calculations it's not set in stone. she may leave earlier. i think they're doing a lot of that simply because it's possible that her departure from the jail could become a spectacle and they're concerned about even her safety. just having her leave the jail and return to the jail today an return to the gym today was very difficult. the jail guards and the officials there, corrections officials, brought in their sru, which is their s.w.a.t. team, and they were

lucas energy director at the independent women's forum kerry welcome back and thanks so much for having me on tom thanks for being here why are republicans manufacturing this debt limit crisis this isn't a manufactured crisis and while you it's interesting to see the polls of people who are concerned about it's the at that moment situation that people are just as concerned about runaway government spending and the debt itself when a family is buried under a credit card that the answer isn't always just to keep raising the maximum and trying to increase the amount you can borrow sometimes you've got to take a hard look at the budget and start making some cuts and i think this is a moment when the american people can look back and say hey it's time for us to get serious about budget and care if this was a real crisis if there was a debt load if there was a debt crisis we would be paying more interest for people to buy our bonds right now all over the world who want to buy our bonds and we're paying two percent interest well there is no crisis time to what it will there is if there is a cr

only a few people -- nbc's kerry sanders is live in orlando. kerry, you know, there were tons of people out there when she was released over the weekend. how did she in the end here manage to actually disappear? >> reporter: well, you know what, it's really amazing because she spent three years and one day inside the jail cell here and then she exited the jail on sunday morning just slightly after midnight, walked out, took her about 15 seconds. then she got into a waiting suv. they closed the road, she took off down the road. news helicopters were chasing her. but somewhere shall as they were speeding down the road in and amongst the buildings, poof, she disappeared. flanked by her attorney, casey anthony wearing a bright pink shirt, skinny jeans and sneakers, mouthed a simple "thank you" to one of the armed officers at the jail and in just 15 seconds, she was out the front door. amid protesters' cat calls, casey made her way to an awaiting suv, where she flashed a slim smile and then she and her crew sped off. some of those who gathered here

. >> nbc's kerry sanderers joining me live from orlando, and kerry, many people would like to know, and if there is even an answer at this point, who is helping casey anthony beyond the legal team who has supported her since she was found not guilty? >> i think that cheney mason said that there is no truth to that at the moment that he was saying that. i'm not sure if there is a deal in the offing, because, as you pointed out, here is a 25-year-old woman who has no source of income, can't really go back into society and necessarily take a job, and i have spoken to security experts who say that she is in many ways a target, because of her notoriety, and so, she has to find a way to find income. she left the jail here in orlando with little over $500 from the commissary account. if she got on a private jet which is what we believe she may have done after she left the jail here and got into the suv and the suv sped down the street, and some news he helicopters pursued it, but in the downtown area that suv somehow lost the cameraman in and amongst the buildings and then a short time later,

kerry: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts is recognized for -- is recognized. mr. kerry: mr. president, i ask simply to be recognized to complete my comments. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. kerry: and i would ask -- there is a time, however, we have a time limit? the presiding officer: ten minutes. democrats have the next 30 minutes. mr. kerry: i would ask if i could be informed when i have five minutes -- when i have -- of that 15 minutes, if you would let me know. thank you. mr. president, when harry truman served in the seat that senator mccaskill of missouri holds today, he used to sit back over there in the back of the row where a lot of the newer senators sit and he from that vantage point would often watch the great debates of the new deal. and he listened long into the night and he used to frequently write thoepl his wife -- home to his wife. one night he wrote about his experience of serving in the senate -- this was early on -- and the awe that he

kerry, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning. the last confirmed citing was right here at the jail. sunday, just after midnight when she emerged with her attorney, jose baez, walked out through the lobby, just as any other inmate would be released out the front door. of course this was a little different with all the cameras and more than 100 protesters outside. there were mounted patrols to keep some of the angry back. she got into an suv. they closed the main road out here. she sped down the road in her suv with helicopters in pursuit. news choppers with cameramen trying to follow her movement, but there were several different choppers following several different cars. all those little gray suvs heading down the road. so it appeared downtown in the buildings that she was lost. then a short time later, it surfaced that she might be at the municipal airport where there was a waiting private jet. we saw somebody get out of a car, run to a hangar and then the jet took off a short time later. the faa list said that it headed to colu

let's bring in the chairman, the former democratic presidential nominee, john kerry. plan is coming over. speaker boehner says, here is a plan. pass it, send it to the president and we're done. >> well, the speaker knows that is not the way it's going to work. the house knows it's not the way it's going to work. because his plan is fundamentally flawed. he was put on notice yesterday with a letter with 53 senators signing it saying, we are not signing it. but they took a whole day, to make a political posturing position. now, the reason it's noft going to pass is because it's not in the interest of the country. it has a short term debt ceiling. and that could result in a downgrading of our credit and it doesn't provide the serenity to the marketplace that republicans have been saying we need to give the marketplace. for that and other reasons, it requires the passage of a constitutional amendment. it's not going to pass. and we will be in a forced grid lock. >> let me stop on that. reid's plan would raise the debt ceiling through the presidential election mvb and jeff

they're looking at a investigatery that looks much more like -- and a map that looks like the kerry/bush 2004 race. a lot of states they won before that were swing states they might not win again. it will be very, very close election. so all of those categories year talking about where there's been a decline worry them a lot. there's a fourth category that they look at being also extremely important. they have to try to rebuild in all of the areas you talked about but also hispanic voters, where the president still has very, very high support but because of the growth in that population if they do well there, it could offset some of the losses and some of the other key demographics. >> certain categories? >> sure do. state by state and in those categories. >> joe? >> the most important step of rebuilding the enthusiasm is getting a republican candidate. as soon as they have someone to fire at, they can build up the base. but like youth, the beggest problem is whether they're going to be enthusiastic enough to go back and vote at the same historic level that they did last time. >> let's g

kerry: will the senator further yield? mr. rubio: yes. mr. kerry: i would just say first of all that everybody understands the danger of the rating agencies right now. the problem is, we got to reach across the aisle and negotiate. we've got to come to agreement. right now there's not a lot of negotiating going on. i would ask the senator, if he doesn't agree that there is an enormous difference between -- the senator a moment ago said if he had gotten his way. the whole point is, everybody knew he wasn't about to get his way. that was a truly symbolic vote. today, however, is it not true we are on the brink of a default and the absence of negotiation or the absence of a settlement presents us with a far more serious consequence to the unwillingness to raise the debt ceiling today? mr. rubio: to the senator from massachusetts i would say it's impossible to negotiate with someone who doesn't offer a plan. the finger pointing of who has a plan and who doesn't have a plan is relevant but it's not the central issue here. by also say in march of t

absolutely kerry the scene that unfolded yesterday was one of a quiet sunday afternoon river cruise along the volga many many people do this is very popular among tourists in the summer to travel along the volga in pleasure cruisers because down the upstream was its final destination and then around two pm the ship got into difficulties and whatever happens the ship actually sank within three minutes it was such a fast sinking that the chaos that ensued on board caused much of the problems that we see now. there were many children on board the ship it seems maybe a third of the passengers. on board the ship were children just hours just before the ship began to sank a single group of about thirty children had gathered on one of the upper decks in the play room to hold either a party or gathered to play together in the play room a lot of the eyewitnesses reported that those children because there were so many of them in various parts of the ship they struggle to get out and some of the eyewitnesses accounts have been extremely harrowing of families torn apart in the struggle to try and esc
