i begin with rikki klieman you have what is this? >> this is the verdict form. it is 32 pages. it's one of the largest and most complex i have ever seen in a criminal case. there are parts to each count. so it is not just only answering yay or nay guilty or not guilty on 30 counts there are 99 decisions this jury had to make because of making a decision of guilt or not as to each of the subcounts. the jurors took a day and a half to do it. i think that it probably was an adequate period of time because the defense said to the jurors he did it it was him he should help -- >> opening and closing like book ends. so it wasn't that this jury had to really think about whether he was not guilty. they only had to think about whether or not the government proved each element of these counts. >> rose: does this surprise you at all dan the way this verdict came down? >> no. as rikki points out. when the defense is basically coming forward and saying my client did it it is not a very tough decision that they have to make. it was complicated in the way that rikki is describing. but it wasn'

we're joining by rikki klieman.g. >> good morning. >> states are starting to legalize it. what does the employer do here? >> that is the ultimate question. we ear dealing with the use of marijuana outside the workplace. everyone agrees you're not able to use drugs or drink alcohol while you're at work. so outside the workplace what you do the workplace can have zero tolerance and just say, i'm sorry, i don't care if you did it saturday or monday or tuesday. when you come to work on friday organization view to be drug-free. so practically, what should an employer do? >> a employer should do exactly the following. number one, talk to a lawyer. number two, make sure that that lawyer and you understate law and your policies are in conjunction with both. also communicate with your employees. let them know what their risks are, that if they're going to take marijuana recreationally where it's legal or illegal and certainly if they're going to take medical marijuana legally, they really have to know what their rights are a

cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> only fours withes? >> four ones and i was frankly surprises they called any, because they had admitted that dzhokhar tsarnaev was a participant in these terrorist bombings. what they called were evidence gatherers, people who got cell phone records, people who looked at the computers. people who looked at fingerprints. just to show again, it's tamerlan tamerlan tamerlan the older brother. why they called anyone is how the government ended. ending with autopsy results, photos and descriptions of the death of 8-year-old martin richards. where you had a witness who said that every part of his body was damaged. this boy was 68 pounds. even reading the testimony would bring a tear to the eye of any person with a soul. >> and now -- >> showed pictures of his clothes and everything. >> embedded in his body. they had to do something. so they did objective evidence. >> now the jury has a week off. is there risk in that? they're told do not discuss, but you're

. >> rikky klieman joins us at the table.ood morning. >> good morning. >> how much trouble could they be in and could they be in trouble? >> they could be in serious trouble. say someone goes into criminal court and the case is found guilty or nolo plea. same here. it's like thumbing the law when you're under this sword of dam clees for a five-year field. >> is it illegal? >> no. maryland law says a child must be accompanied by 13g years or older. inside or in a car. there is nothing on the books about a child being accompany beaen doesn't so this there's this beg look hole in the join. >> obviously child protective services believe if you leave children outside, they must follow the law and look into the kids and take them into custody. >> i would think that's more traumatizing telling kids you're taking them home and instead taking them to police safers. >> this if parenting group hat a plat of door dlars. in essence it's like a faulty imprisonment. remember it's hours where the parents dmoen where theirkys are and kids don

rikki klieman is with us, good morning. >> good morning. >> how did they do in their summation? >> the prosecution's case was absolutely devastating. we have to remember what the jurors have heard and seen are things that no human being have to live through. it's as if the jurors have been part of the carnage, have been victims of the carnage. they, too, may be suffering from this evidence. so to overcome the prosecution's penalty phase borders on the impossible. >> some of the most difficult testimony came from witnesses for martin richard. >> they wrote a letter. it was on the front page of "the boston globe," not in the opinion section. there have been other victims who have supported life in prison. the jurors should not know about that. however, you have an interesting question here. jurors probably won't make any different to them that the richards parents did not testify in the penalty phase because they've heard from martin richards' father in the guilt phase. what is the defense to do? should the defense dare to ever call martin richards' parents in the penalty phase, i
