. >> well, i strongly believe in the jury system. i am a jury traveler. that is all i have done for 45 years. my personal experiences that i have seen the collective wisdom of a jury actually be one of the most beautiful things you can witness in achieving justice. sometimes, the jury, still following the law, can see through a lot of legal arguments and do what is right, legally right, and that is a beautiful part of the jury system. i have been involved with a magnet part of a celebration, which is going to go into its 800-year anniversary in 2015 that is the genesis of the jury system. surprisingly, england has virtually no jury system left as part of its justice system. we're the last bastion of the jury system. however, japan just recently decided to inaugurate the jury system. we're working with the japanese, who culturally, historically, are not comfortable with the jury system, because they don't usually have discussions about a different point of view. we actually show the movie "truck -- 12 angry men" to demonstrate how one

when the jury form read the verdict, mrs.erson cried and another key revelation came out from april, and just before the jury was deliberated the defense attorney displayed notes from the assistant to the technical police chief saying it was he who told the vice president of student affairs the information of one student being killed and another critically wounded should not be released to the campus or the public. according to this, he passed the message on to emergency policy group meeting in the president's board room and the group followed that advise and revised a dailied proposed notice. in other words they were going to give detailed notice. there was a way to send that out by text. and that is what they were planning to do. but, instead, according to what happened in court they revised that and the group followed the advice which referred only to a "shooting incident," and was sent at 9:26 and the jury said you should have done more. you were negligent. went way above what they asked for $100,000 each and gave $4 mill

>> yes. >> reporter: andrea offered juicy testimony for the jury to ponder. at the accused hemy neuman had become obsessed with her weeks after she started working for him in april 2010, that he had stalked her and her family, she said, and finally gunned down her husband. the unwelcome courtship began at ge, she said, about six months before the shooting. >> how much time would you spend with him on a regular basis? >> there were meetings every other day, constant e-mail communications about work and projects, constant phone calls. we spoke with work things constantly. >> reporter: hemy neuman quickly became a fixture in her life. >> extremely friendly individual, caring or pretending to be very caring individual. >> reporter: but one night during a business trip to lake tahoe, she testified, hemy neuman stepped over the line. >> did the defendant ever express his feelings for you? >> yes. >> reporter: outside a restaurant before they had dinner together, he read her a poem. >> the insinuation of the poem to me was that he had deeper feelings for me than just

we have the jury coming back in? on't have details of specifically when the judge will be reading the verdict. we'll have more on the breaking news once again that the jury has returned this morning on the third day of deliberations on the rutgers case. this is going to get you, moms and dads. they're call the boomerang kids. young adults that find living with the parents is a better financial option. parents understand how tough it is for young workers. nearly 75% say the relationships haven't turned sour. kim parker is a senior researcher with the project and joins us to talk about this. they're probably going to look at this. they'll be hot or cold. excited to think the kids will stick around longer or really upset they were looking forward to the empty nest. and what about the social stigma that used to be there. >> i think the spike we've seen over the last five years is probably linked to the recession and to the fact that young adults really have a hard time in the labor market and very high unemployment rates.

the jury clearly not buying it. we are going to have much more on this in just a little bit right here as "kelly's court" takes up the final evidence that the jury listened to that apparently put them over the edge toward a guilty verdict. keep it right here. we have much more right after the break. we are going to talk about the rising surge in gun sales in this country. why? stay with me. you can't argue with nutrition you can see. great grains. great grains cereal starts whole and stays whole. see the seam? more pcessed flakes look nothing like natural grains. i'm eating what i kn is better nutrition. mmmm. great grains. search great grains and see for yourself. why? i thought jill was your soul mate. no, no it's her dad. the general's your soul mate? dude what? no, no, no. he's, he's on my back about providing for his little girl. hey don't worry. e-trade's got a totally new investing dashboard. everything is on one page, your investments, quotes, research... it's like the buffet last night. whatever helps you un

the jury finding hemy neuman@? guilty but insane.@? mentally ill on one charge and finding him guilty as straightout guilty on the second charge. that means@? he's going to jail? but will receive mental health assistance while he is there. that's my understanding now as i look at the georgia law. trace, it was a long shot from the beginning to blame this murder on barry white and olivia newton john. >> reporter:@? the clincher may be the head of the mental health facility in dekalb county testified for the prosecution. he says@? he has seen hemy neumn in the past year. he has been in jail since 2010. he said i have had a number of consultations with hemy neuman@? and i can tell you i have seen a lost mentally ill people and hemy neuman does not fit the bill of@? being insane. that was a big blow to the defense. the defense was saying hemy@? neuman was trying to rescue@? andrea sneiderman's children. he says he didn't want his kids to have the same childhood of abuse that he had when he was a child. that was the excuse on top of the barr

that decision was part of the reason for the delay in jury selection. the jury selection started. so that process is under way. and as you may imagine, in large part, because of yourself, people have a high awareness of this case and this very a lot of opinions so we're sorting through the lists to see if we can find a jury that will be fair in this matter. >> i felt very seriously about not having the jurors waiting around needlessly. and at this particular juncture, there is not a lot more the court can do today with regard to picking a jury because of a hearing and jurors for another case. >> >> reporter: of the 185 jurors, 34 have been dismissed already. 24 more are asking for a hardship. they will run to court tomorrow. that writ asks for the court proceedings to end. the superior court has declined that. but they did indicate that that video of mislopez will not be revealed to the jury until the superior court issues the ruling. there are a lot of other developments in this case. at 1:15 this afternoon, there is going to be an evidentiary hearing for christina flores, the ex

the jury did not buy the defense. the jury did not like the defense witnesses.n't trust their testimony. there was nothing to corroborate it. they thought it was too scripted. when jurors get a sense of that, this is what you get. >> maybe not the settlement she had been hoping for. remind me again, how much was she seeking? >> like $6 million. it made no sense. >> i remember there was a six in there and millions -- millions and millions. >> millions and millions. >> okay. all right. thanks so much, richard, avery, appreciate it. good to see you guys. >> you know, what remember, this was a case we talked about last week actually, the polo tycoon who adopted his girlfriend allegedly to protect his girlfriend. as you guys know the case closed. a jury found him guilty of vehicular manslaughter. >> no surprise. >> no surprise there. i know you called it. for a crash that killed 23-year-old scott wilson two or three years ago. what are you thinking? >> real 20 years he's facing. >> he could be given 20 or the maximum of 30 years in prison when he is sentenced and tha

on october 7, judge instructed the jury on the strict language of illinois law and explained that if a slave master voluntary brought a slave within the state, the slave became free. the judge went on to say that if any illinois residents harbored such a person the individual who aided the fugitive slave had not committed an offense against illinois law. the jury must have been over by both lovejoy's lawyer and the judge's presentation for when the trial ended lovejoy was acquitted. the most famous underground railroad story associated with owen lovejoy unfolded in the late 1840s. a fugitive slave by the name of john buckner had escaped from missouri and headachen up residents as a farm hand. the farm was close to princeton. the fugitive had decided to stay with someone who would employ him until he could accumulate enough money to make his way to canada. in 1849 buckner was mowing when two men, one of whom was his former owner approached him with guns fold. the slave was marched towards princeton. the slave trackers plan to take him to the river to transport him to st. louis. a frie

>> it never came up in the closing arguments that either lawyer made to the jury. it only came up once when the man he had been with in the webcam viewing was testifying in court and they asked him how he found out tyler clementi died and he said he read it int in te newspaper. it's hard to believe that the jurors would not have used the suicide. the jurors had seen the man he was with who was identified as mb they saw him in court. they said he did not violate his fivprivacy. but he will targeted tyler because he was gay. you have to think they did that was because they didn't have tyler there. all they would to consider was the fact that he killed himself. >> did his attorney discuss his decision not to put ravi on the stand to speak in his own defense. >> they were closed in the decision not to do that in the end they felt that the case spoke for itself. i think they believed he would not be convicted of bias intimidation. the evidence was not there. the jury would see him at the time of the webcam viewing, they would say he was just an 18-year-old kid and he was

we've seen the jury go for that maximum crime. y see the judge go for the maximum penalty, randi. >>> let's talk about the day care murder in atlanta. a judge sentencing hemmi newman to life in prison without the possibility of parole and mentally ill. now, police describe newman as cold and calculated. he claims that he killed snyderman after having dilutions of an angel and a demon, one in the form of singer olivia nut yop john. is this the right verdict, guilty but mentally ill? >> i think it is. first of all, mentally ill, when you use that as an affirmative defense, it typically does not work. works in less than 1% of the cases it's used in and it's used in such a small percentage of cases. so if this jury listened to the expert, heard every single word that the state's experts and the defense's experts testified to and them said, yes, we do think he's mentally ill, that tells me a lot, randi. juries are common sense people. they don't want to hear that, oh, now that you're in trouble, you're crazy, right? >> so did the insani

we have to see if the jury's going to think is this ravi's story? e parodying what the police is saying to him. >> and when he doesn't get what he wants, are you going to tell me the truth or lie. let's listen to more. >> you're deliberately lying to us now and telling us, i wasn't spying on my roommate. just watching my valuables. that's not going to work. that's an outright lie. >> i wanted to find out what was happening. >> he's by himself, no attorney present, but that is hitting on that one part of this case, that seems to be really, come on. >> it is and it's classic. always amazes me. nobody asks for an attorney. he's a college kid, admittedly, but he's an adult. he doesn't ask for an attorney. and the police officer is saying to him, hey, you are lying to us. and so ravi then is changing his story a little bit to get the approval of the police officer and by the way, this is classic police investigation. it goes on all the time. nothing illegal about this. this is how the police get a story out, but a jury is going to look at it and say, can

the jury much to my surprise doesn't get the whole truth. lawyers agree the jury will have, so in our case, for example the jury didn't even know that exxon didn't have a driver's license for driving while intoxicated but he was at the helm of the supertanker. so if the german defeat could jury isn't privy to the truth how will they figured out the whole compensation? they will not. in our case they didn't know about long-term harm to be on the got compensated for short-term. here's the problem. this is the other problem in the democracy crisis. we don't live in a democracy, this is the polite thing i can call it to read the corporate values count, and by a federal judiciary the only corporate value that needs to matter by the law is making money, and this is fine for running a business, but it's not fine for running a country. remember when the general motors ceo said what is good for general motors is good for america? we believe that. it's a good for america is good for general motors. our quality-of-life encompasses more than just econom

as hemy sat frozen, the jury forewoman's voice broke. as she read the verdict. >> count one, we, the jury, find the defendant as to count one guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. but mentally ill. >> reporter: neuman closed his eyes. he had hoped for not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming an angel with the voice of olivia newton-john ordered him to kill rusty sneiderman, the husband of the woman he was in love with. before sentencing, neuman read a statement, fighting back tears, apologizing to the schneidermans and his own family. have. >> i am so, so, so sorry. >> reporter: rusty's brother, steve, addressed the court, while his family wept. >> today, the pain is almost unbearable. we look to this court to provide us with some small measure of comfort, knowing that this man, lawfully convicted of killing rusty schneiderman, will never walk among us again. >> reporter: the prosecution claimed andrea sneiderman a co-conspirator in all of this. the defense said she drove neuman to insanity. he claimed angels and demons told him his childre
