o.j. simpson case, in cases that went much, much longer. so statistically, this is a very lengthy deliberation for a very short trial, and a relatively simple fact pattern. so i'm kind of surprised that it's gone this long. i mean, either he saw a gun or he didn't see a gun. either he had a right to shoot or he didn't, and once you get nast question, the rest of it kind of falls into place pretty easily i think, but these jurors are struggling. i think you've got a faction of jurors holding out against the majority of jurors and they're having a dispute about what's the appropriate thing to do. >> all right. paul canallan, thank you so muc. keep us posted. we'll check back. >> thank you, fredricka. always nice being with you. >>> all right. for those just joining us, welcome to the "cnn newsroom." i'm fredricka whitfield. right now sections in the northeast bracing for yet another winter storm. coast massachusetts is under a blizzard warning. boston as well as all the way up to maine could see 12 inches of snow or more. new york city could

o.j. simpson, i actually feel like race is just critical, period.'re not allowed to strike because of race. but you know what, it's critical in jury selection, and attorneys get around it in all sorts of ways. you don't think that race is critical, like number one critical in cases like this now? >> i do, but i don't think for the obvious reasons. i think race is an issue, because it's weather those young wlak women on this jury will take a look at it from michael dunn's -- not necessarily michael dunn's perspective, but saying i know kids like this. i know they're up to no good, and i know they can be threatening, and i know kids who will ditch a gun like that. or whether they're going to say, here's another example of a white man just making an assumption about that. and that's where you have to really look at where these -- where race is the matter. what their experience is, and who they're going to hold it against from that experience. >> and so the experience and the life experience is what i'm g e getting at here. it's not your color, it's you

o.j. simpson told us of his single minded determination to find the real killer, or when richard nixon assigned john dean to find out why someone broke out into the democratic headquarters at the watergate. it explains at least to me why first the mayor of hoboken and now the mayor of ft. lee have refused to let christie's lawyer dig into their documents and possible testimony down the road. why would they, of all people fall for the ridiculous argument that governor christie's out there trying to find the real culprit when he himself is the appointor in chief to every one of the people involved in the deliberate bridge jam-up itself? don't forget, what ties wildstein and baroni and stepien and bridget kelly together is that they're all people picked by chris christie. does anyone really believe he still doesn't know what they were up to? in fact, what exactly is he investigating here? or is he simply trying to bully the potential witnesses against him? loretta weinberg is the new jersey state senate majority leader and co-chair of the select committee on investigation. brian murphy is a former

o.j. simpson case.seven pieces of evidence, none of which alone, proves her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, every piece of evidence points in the direction of her guilt. if you have a dna that is 20% likelihood it is her or 20% likelihood it is the boyfriend. you have a false alibi. if you add those together, you have a compelling circumstantial case. for me, the great concern is the media has presented this case as if there is no evidence and if this is a poor woman who has been falsely accused. never any mention of the victim. the victim has been ignored by the american media. in italy, it is the opposite. she is al capone. she is the worst murderer in history. a little nuance and calibration and little understanding that gray area exists would help both sides of the case. >> paul, what are the options here? she will appeal. it is not like this will be over tomorrow. >> you know, it is astounding how long these cases take. the case went to the intermediate court and convicted. then acquitted. then th
