shkreli delighted. braffman a good result and the government coming out, not even focusing on anything other than the three guilty counts and the case itself saying that justice, as you said, kelly, has been served. >> again i think the tricky thing here is that there's a number of different types of, you know, issues that were involved, so by the way on the main issue which he has been convicted on securities fraud, that still does carry kwai potentially a lengthy prison sentence of up to 20 years that's why you can see a lengt of outcomes, it could still be from him serving no time to serveving quite a lot of it. >> meg tirrell has been covering this case from the beginning and is outside the courthouse in brooklyn meg? >> reporter: hi, guys. well, of course, as you know, three guilty counts of eight shkreli and his attorney just coming out and giving a statement basically claiming victory as has been pointed out here, even though there are three guilty counts, the government just giving a statement s

no word yet whether shkreli will be sentenced to prison. what's interesting about this case is that the people who were in these hedge funds actually didn't lose money, they made money, but you can't steal money from one organization that you run to pay off another. tracee carrasco was standing right there in brooklyn when this all came down, and he specifically mentioned count 7, that was the count of wire fraud, found not guilty on that one, they were pleased with that? >> reporter: he did, liz, said he the government, that was their attempt to say he robbed peter to pay paul, and now martin shkreli just left the courthouse right now, followed by a gaggle of cameras, and as you said, this has been a busy afternoon out here, but martin shkreli and his lawyer both just spoke, they are delighted and pleased overall with the verdict. we have five out of eight counts, they said that's a good verdict. five out of eight counts not guilty. i want to go through all of the counts with you. count one was conspiracy to commit securities fraud. he was

shkreli.the things that is interesting following this case certainly is the demeanor of shkreli in court. his lawyer, even the judge at one point said, that the behavior of ben branch man's client, martin shkreli was odd in the courtroom. prosecution using things he was putting on facebook and things tweeting out were sometimes odd. some people describe him as you hear words like autistic, somebody with as berger's. all that -- tracee carrasco outside the brooklyn federal courthouse with details on the verdict. tracee, what do you know? reporter: cheryl it has been a quiet day up until now. we haven't heard anything from the jury. they brought a note to the judge saying they reached a verdict. i want to go down the counts. count one, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, he was found not guilty. count two, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, he was found not guilty. securities fraud, he was found guilty. count four, conspiracy to commit securities fraud. also found not guilty. count five, conspi

let's get reaction to the shkreli case, bring in the legal eagles, leeza garber, shkreli and team acted like this is a big win, do you agree? >> i think this guy has a lot of issues and to call it a big win, we'll see what happens when sentencing comes down, could be up to 20 years, and this is a man that has already been judged in the court of public opinion, much more and, of course separate for the drug that it helps aids patients, cancer patients, pregnant mothers and he is not well liked. he's eccentric, i'm not surprised to hear he thought this was a good result. it's not a great result, and he deserves it. liz: shkreli said he got off on the most important count. take a listen. i'd like your reaction. >> we're, i think, delighted in many ways with the verdict, count 7 was the government's attempt to theororize that i robbed peter to pay paul, and the jury had spoken incluesively. some made ten times or more than that of the original investment after they did receive settlements. liz: the jury clearly not buying this line of argument at trial. he's convicted of three counts of sec

because he was martin shkreli. got reasonably fair peopl. whether their verdict is 100% accurate or not, we need to review the transcript and the verdict. but on balance, count seven was the heart of this case from the beginning. it was a complaint that martin robbed money from his own company to pay back people. and that theory was soundly rejected. >> [indiscernible] >> we're not going to discuss that. there were never any substantive -- >> [indiscernible] >> let me answer that. ok? forin has some work cut out him in terms of trying to undo he wasage which i think unfairly given when the whole came out, raising the price. no one has ever been deprived of of the medication. martin is a brilliant young man. it but sometimes, people skills don't translate well. so we will have some good discussions. but at the end of the day, i think martin has held his own in despite thend issues that travel with martin, we are here smiling even though it wasn't a clean sweep that we would've preferred. >> [indiscernible] >> i will
