lilia luciano in orlando. coming up we'll take a look at the legal battle that casey anthony is still facing at the moment. and you can keep up with the latest developments surrounding her release by going to our website at msnbc.com. >>> we'll take you to politics right now on this sunday. the white house budget director saying he's confident lawmakers know how high the stakes are in the debt debate. >> what is encouraging is that the leaders in congress seem to all agree that we can't push to a default, that we need to have a path to make sure that the united states can keep its obligations and pay its bills in august. >> nbc's mike viqueira is live at the white house. so vic, as we take a look at this, and everybody's hopeful, does this mean a deal is around the corner? >> reporter: well, we can't say that for certain. we know that all the leaders do agree on the urgency of getting something done before a possible default, really the first one in american history. and of course that would be on august 3rd.

nbc's lilia luciano is live at the courthouse and joins us now. i understand we've seen the prosecution come in with what could be a fairly long sentencing hearing today. >> that's right, chuck. it should take around an hour or so. this is the average time we've been told. however, our producers inside the courtroom tell us that there are at least two people waiting in the area where they usually keep witnesses. the speculation is those may be either psychologists or just some type of expert to tell or testify that casey anthony may not be ready to incorporate herself into society. now that's inside the courtroom. outside the courtroom, chuck, we're seeing a group of protesters gathered around claiming what they call is justice. they say that caylee anthony did not get justice. now in terms of the police and law enforcement, we're seeing sheriff deputies y ies on horse foot, on bike, just previewing what might happen if casey anthony walks out, which is a likely possibility since she's already served some time in jail. if she gets just time served

and now to nbc's lilia luciana with the latest. hi, lilia. >> reporter: how are you, richard? we were all surprised to see casey anthony walk out that door. there are serious security threats against her online. her attorneys have expressed that she has received some directly. although the spokesperson at the jail never said that any threats were made toward the jail. in other words, she never got any letters that they should have been addressing. but it was surprising to just see her walk out. the spokesperson at the jail said she was not going to be given any type of special treatment. she was treated as any other inmate. of course this was a special release due to the public impact of the verdict and the people who were waiting outside protesting. >> what do we know about her demeanor? we're watching some of that video, that 15 seconds of her walking out the door. what did she appear like? what was her condition? >> reporter: only three people have been able to talk, richard, and those are the a.p. journalist, the still photographer for the "orlando sentinel," and of course

she has been identified as lilia whitfield of landover. >> we do not know at this time if she was in the crosswalk or not. >> people who live and work in this area tell me that they're not surprised the somebody was struck and killed. people drive down this suburban roadway as if it were the beltway. >> it is not the beltway. >> police feel that they do not feel that speed or alcohol were a factor in this case. the have not filed any charges against the driver. they are asking everyone to be more careful. >> it is a busy time. it is still dark. people are rushing to work whether it is vehicle or pedestrian. we do want people to be careful whether they are walking or driving. >>> typical summertime here in washington. it is hot and humid and we are monitoring a chance for storms. >> good afternoon to you watching at home. we mainly have garden variety stuff, just a few downpours and very slow moving systems. there is a much better chance of widespread rain tomorrow. otherwise, it is hot and humid day. it is 90 degrees in the district and at the dulles and culpeper. you will feel that

so they're quite calm right now. >> reporter: thanks, lilia, for that update. i'm sure we'll watch this in the hours ahead. >>> let's bring in our mega panel, karen finney, republican strategist susan del percio and our d.c. insider jimmy williams. welcome, guy, from across the country and across our new york studio. susan's in the isolation booth. not to have an unfair advantage. i want to put up a couple quotes from alan desch rshowitz. a piece entitled "the system worked." he said a legally proper result may not be the same as a morally just result's in such a case, justice has not been done to the victim but the law has prevailed. then dershowitz had another line. a criminal trial is not a search for truth. scientists search for truth, philosophers search foremore rate. a criminal trial searches for one result. proof beyond a reasonable doubt. karen finney is professor dershowitz giving us the right big picture? >> it is one of the big pictures. a couple of thing. a lot of people compareds they case to the o.j. simpson case, which i really take issue with a

. >> lilia is live for us in orlando. a good saturday morning to you, lilia. there was a lot of tension in that courtroom engine friday. what else did the prosecutors include in their rebuttal? >> reporter: there certainly was, alex. not only were they able to prove that she was at work and not at home when the searches were being made, but there were no searches for chloroform, bamboo or how bamboo would interact with a dog. there was no search for hand sanitizer along the days that cindy anthony said she was making those searches which is what she used to say that led her to the searches for chloroform. they explored to the lead investigator. he had the phone records for both cindy and george anthony's cell phones. as you recall cindy anthony said on the day that caylee died basically that now we know caylee died she found the pool ladder attached to the pool and she immediately called george to ask him. now they say there were no such calls made between the cell phones. we heard from a forensic pathologist who said -- i'm sorry a frepsic anthropologist who

lilia luciano is outside of the courtroom in orlando. this went pretty smooth inside that courtroom? >> reporter: it was, thomas. it definitely was. both sides are calculating, along with judge perry, how much credit casey anthony will get for the time served. my colleague, kerry sanders, was actually out there with protesters, still expecting to hear how long she will spend in jail, tells me that he's done the math over and over and he calculates if you take into account not only the time served but good conduct and the average time that somebody spent in jail for a misdemeanor in florida, she should walk today. he still insists that she will and he's there getting ready to see what will happen with the protesters who have been aggravated and angry ever since they heard the verdict. >> lilia, thank you. we want to get to the big questions of what is next for casey anthony. we want to bring in our legal team. i'm joined by veteran criminal trial lawyer, ricky, and wendy murphy, former prosecutor. i know we have a lot to talk about. wendy

lilia break down the estimated costs for us. >> reporter: they are high, richard. was a petition done by the prosecution they're saying we want far and beyond the limit that's legal for us to cover. the cost is $91,000 in prosecution's cost. and then there's $13,00,000 fro the defense. then there's $360,000 that took care of the jury, the room and board, the transportation for the jurors. it's a lot of money. then i've got to tell you, i'm sure casey anthony will get a few offers from i guess movie makers, publishers. there's a rumor running out there that apparently she got an offer from the "jerry springer show" for $1 million. the offer is contingent from cindy lantny and lee would appear with her. there's word on the street that she's been offered to participate in a pornographic film. so everybody's interested out there in giving this woman some money to cover those costs. >> we've heard that there's some signs in the county saying jurors you're not welcome. >> reporter: that's right. one in particular the first one had a big sign that says not welcome for a n

lilia has been covering this trial from the very beginning. you join us live at the moment. a lot of outrage yesterday as you were on the courthouse steps there, were any people outside that agreed with the verdict? >> reporter: there certainly were, richard, and thankfully nothing happened in terms of an outrage or in terms of a fight that might have broken out. just because so many people that were running back and forth. not only online but as you can see outside the courtroom, the one anonymous emotion is disbelief. even those who feel that casey anthony was innocent or the prosecution failed to show enough proof, were surprised at the verdict. most people were expecting at least for her to spend some time in jail or just get convicted of a misdemeanor -- she did get convicted of a disdemeanor, but a lesser charge related to the death of caylee. and that of course never happened. so a great deal of anger from some. but some are saying the constitution was upheld. there was not enough proof that's how our justice system works. >> we've gom to all of the characters. all th

let's go live to orlando's and nbc's lilia. what kind of legal action are we talking about here. >> good morning. casey anthony yesterday filed an appeal for the four can't for which she was found guilty of lying to law enforcement. you would think why would she do this? casey anthony for most people's understanding came out rather well or easily out of the charges of murder. she came out not guilty. however, legal analysts yesterday were telling me that that is just a strategy to make sure she doesn't have to testify at all after these civil lawsuits in the past few weeks. there's people seeking money for trying to find caylee for when she was not missing. she was already dead. there was a civil lawsuit filed by a woman a defamation suit. she claims that casey anthony ruined her life. she lost her job and home after casey anthony used her name to say this was the person responsible for kidnapping caylee. and other lawsuits that have come and might even come down the road. her attorneys are telling her now that there's a trial

lil lilia luciano has been following the case.

to explain how this happened, good morning lilia. >> reporter: good morning.out as a perfect family day at the beach soon became dangerous and now that 6-year-old girl is still recovering after that terrifying attack. the 6-year-old girl was swimming with her family at 5:30 tuesday evening. she was boogie boarding in just a foot and a half of water, her mother just 10 feet away, when witnesses say the shark struck seriously wounding her leg. witnesses here are steel reeling from the attack. >> i really wanted her to know she was okay. it really tore me up. >> reporter: the family asked for privacy saying the 6-year-old was in good condition and good spirits quotie ing her saying, i hate sharks, i like dolphins better. shark sightings are not uncommon and beaches are on high alert. >> stay out of the water in the early morning and evening. >> i feel sorry for her and hope i don't get bit. >> reporter: the shark attack is the second in less than a month in north carolina. this 10-year-old was bit by a shark twice in the leg and she was also in shallow water. >>

lilia, stand by, if you will, and we'll bring in our two attorneys sitting through all of this with us this morning. randy and jonnah. how important is this, the issue of sexual abuse, from george anthony, the father, none of which was proven. how important is the angle to the dmas terps in terms of the ? what does sexual abuse from a father to a daughter have to do with killing her daughter? >> a lot, jose baez said this is what happened, and why it happened has to do with sexual abuse. i don't think it's that important, because quite frankly, i think if mr. baez gets up on his closing arguments and goes back to this is what happened, they're done. so that's why i said earlier i think if anything, he's got to own it and say i probably shouldn't have gone there and focus in on the fact they haven't proven, a, b, c, d, the what, where, when, what. >> you, as awe juror hearing that, does that immediately give an incredible level of discredation to jose baez because you're thinking, are you kidding me? i would think off the bat, pal, you didn't know coming into the sensational trial where

lilia luciano. you can call me alice once, and i'll answer. sorry about calling you lidia. we'll see you next hour. thanks. >>> the anthony -- that interview just a few minutes from now. >>> and be sure to stay with msnbc for live coverage of the closing arguments. we'll bring them to you live tomorrow morning gavel to gavel. now the big break in the case against dominique strauss-kahn. he is still facing sexual assault charnlz, but he is no longer under house arrest. last night strauss-kahn was all smiles outside his apartment here in new york after the judge returned his bail. the case against him is in serious trouble. ron allen is right outside the strauss-kahn apartment. things went in strauss-kahn's favor yesterday, didn't they? >> in a remarkable way, alex. there's really -- there was only word there was going to be a court hearing late the night before, and then suddenly we're in court, and the prosecutors are making all these revelations, damning revelations, about the accuser. not about strauss-kahn. as they continue to investigate, they had found a series of inco

lilia, watching avery quiet outside of the courthouse today. before handing down casey anthony's sentence, judge belvin perry explained the reasoning behind what he was about to do. listen to this. >> as a result of those four separate and distinct lies, law enforcement expended a great deal of time, energy and manpower looking for young caylee marie anthony. >> very deliberate here. joining me now from orlando, former florida circuit court judge, alex ferrer, host of "judge alex." thank you for your time today. you just listened to what belvin perry said, the judge there, before he laid down the sentence. what do you think of his decision today? it seemed extremely deliberate. >> i have no problem with it at all. before he announced the sentence, i said i can certainly see a perspective that would go either way. i could see judge perry saying somebody who lied to the police, i typically wouldn't give them four years so i'm not going to do it just because you have been acquitted of murder because it would be vindictive and punishing her for the

. >> lilia luciano on verdict watch for us in orlando. thank you so much. >>> i want to bring in our legal panel to talk about deliberations and which side did a better job of proving its case. we have diane dimond and former prosecutor wendy murphy on the right side of your screen. thanks to both of you for joining us today. >> sure. >> before we get started, i want to play a bite from defense lawyer jose baez who on monday raised the issue of reasonable doubt, telling the jury they have it. take a listen. >> these are the facts that you have heard. and these are the facts that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that casey anthony is guilty of murder in the first degree. reasonable doubt lives here. it's throughout the case. it's right here. it's with these individuals. it's with those individuals. it's everywhere. you can't trust this evidence. you can't. >> all right. so we started with the prosecutor first. wendy, let me start with you. did the prosecution remove any reasonable doubt? many say that jose baez may have a point here that wi

. >> you can see already the reaction, folks we saw with lilia outside the courtroom, with twitter and on the web. people drawing analogies to the o.j. simpson trial. a lot of people feel that justice has not been served. >> amazing the reaction. talking about this quite a bit off camera. the reaction in the community there, across florida, across the country and even internationally to this case, and it's really hard to understand why so much passion is engendered mostly against casey anthony, but quite a bit in her favor as well. a lot of it has to do with the digital age. people are really invested in the case online, on twitter, on facebook. there's a whole community that's grown up talking about this case online. i think a lot of the passion is because the child was missing, and for 31 days, this mother took all of us on a wild goose chase and she's admitted that much. that's why she was convicted on those counts and then everyone became emotionally invested in the case and found out they'd been lied to. right there, she starts being behind the eight ball and then, of course, the

for "today," lilia luciano, nbc news, holiday, florida. >> reporter: cathy and her daughter are hereood morning to both of you. thanks for coming on. >> good morning. >> reporter: cathleen, first of all, tell me you didn't see an alligator. >> no, i didn't know about that until three days after the hospital. >> reporter: so we hear about this incredible story. you don't know how you end up in the swamp. once you're there, how did you assess your predicament? did you think you could easily get out? >> i tried to at first, but then i realized real quickly i couldn't. i was getting all caught up by the brampgs and the thorns so -- >> but you knew where you were at that point. >> i knew i was in water. i didn't know exactly where i was. >> and remarkably, had you the wherewithal to try to mark the days, the duration of your predicame predicament. how did you do that? >> every morning when the sun would come up, i would take two leaves out of the water, and i could reach two branches. one was for daytime, one was for nighttime, so in case i forget or whatever, i would know how long i was

nbc's lilia feliciano is at the orange county jail for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, ann. we have just received notice that casey anthony has filed an appeal for the four guilty charges of lying to law enforcement. this all comes as security here at the orange county jail is reinforced pending her release on sunday. casey anthony's attorney visiting her on thursday is giving no hint on where casey is going as a free woman. deputies from the same orange county sheriff's team that arrested her over the disappearance of her 2-year-old daughter, caylee, will be in charge of keeping her safe from people outraged by her acquittal on murder charges. >> we, the jury, find the defendant not guilty. >> reporter: many believe there's a real reason for concern about casey's safety. >> there has been a plethora of chatter in the social media circles where people have expressed their displeasure over the verdict. >> what? not guilty? >> god going to get you for that. watch. >> she got away with murder. >> reporter: casey does have a f

lilia just reported on that.here a takeaway after all you've been through that i suppose to some degree compensating for you? is there any sort of peaceful place you can get to based on what's happened? >> yes. just the fact that the judge exercise such leniency in a situation, it gave me a hope that the justice system may not fail and the outpouring of support and everything has really been excellent throughout the situation and has helped hold me up and my family up. no one should go to the bottom. you have to go up. >> so you're going up. >> yes. >> how long do you have to make your decision? >> i think a month. >> 30 days. >> yes. 30 days. >> all right. well, i guess we'll find out what you have to say. we look forward to hearing what your decision is. but no matter which way it goes, i can see that there's a smile on your face. >> yeah, yeah. >> which people have been wishing for you. raquel, thank you so much for speaking to us. loret loretta, thank you for speaking to us. now, let's get a check of the weat

lilia in orlando for us this rn morning. thank you. who was once engaged to casey anthony testified at her trial. he's with us exclusively along with her bodyguard. good morning to both of you. jesse, let me start with you. just your reaction to the verdict. what was your response? >> i was angry and shocked by the verdict. it's obvious from the evidence that was presented that casey was the last person to see caylee alive and her body was dumped in the woods. by saying -- >> tracy? >> i was also shocked. i couldn't believe it. >> you said you actually got ill. >> i felt sick to my stomach all day yesterday. >> jesse, i know you feel one of the mistakes that the prosecution made in this case was to try to present the anthony family as a cohesive, loving group. why is that? >> because the fact is, matt, they are not a cohesive loving group. that family was a carnival of dysfunctionality. most families in america are dysfunctional and have their problems. theirs was worse. all it took was a defense to show a little bit of how dysfunction

nbc's lilia luciano is in tampa with details. good morning. >> food morning to you, arne.hey said they came here no a o tampa to explore the country and to learn a new language. in the shower, in the bedroom, in the privacy of their own home, somebody may have been secretly watching. these students came to sunny tampa, florida, for the summer from their native bulgaria. their goal, to practice their english. but they never expected a peeping tom. until a friend grew suspicious about what the women thought were smoke alarms, objects which turned out to be hidden cameras who could have been watching their most private moments. a trail of wires to the camera went into a locked closet, inside a junction box and transmitter. >> this is the cable for the camera. >> reporter: the cameras have been removed and the hillsboro county sheriff's office is investigating who owns them, if they were rolling, and, if so, who was watching. the cameras could have been spying on them in their bathroom, in the living room, and even in the bedroom. now they fear some of their most intimate mome
