sunny hostin there as well. holly hughes and on the phone with us is mark o'mara. sunny hostin was in the courtroom and said it was very tense in there. it was a packed courtroom. you saw the davis family and they looked distraught. take us inside the courtroom and also explain to us the instructions the judge gave the jury and the possible outcome for all of this. >> reporter: injury. i mean, the jury made it clear they have reached a verdict on four counts, but they were really dead locked on the first count. not only the first-degree murder count, but all the lesser includes. they went over manslaughter and still couldn't reach a consensus. when that happens, when a jury is dead locked, the united states supreme court in a case called u.s. vs. allen, a judge can instruct a jury to go back, try to reach a consensus and consider the opinions of your fellow jurors. that's exactly what this judge did. the charge was a bit different

sunny hostin. a former federal prosecutor, she's in jacksonville, sunny is in the courtroom monitoring this trial. thanks for being with ushe acted in self-defense. we just heard his fiancee give that emotional testimony where she detailed how even after seeing the report on the news about the shooting, that neither she nor dunn reported the shooting to the police. that doesn't seem to bode well for the defense. >> it really doesn't. this is a huge problem for the defense in this case, they sort of have been dancing around. let's face it, it is clear from the prosecution's case that michael dunn shot the car ten times, and after that, got into the car and drove away. after driving away, what did he do? he basically had some pizza, watched a movie. had a drink and went to sleep. that is going to be very difficult for the jury to overcome. what i've heard is that tomorrow they are going to call acute stress reaction expert. i've never heard of that kind of expert, my sense is, they are going to try to explain away that behavior as part of his reaction to the stressfulness of the shooting. >> one of the other things they see

sunny hostin was there. this is a stunning turn. you were inside the courtroom. take us: i will say that when the jury came back in, don, they looked exhausted. they looked frustrated, very frustrated. when the judge gave them the alan charge, which essentially is a pep talk, this charge was different than the ones i used to get when i was a prosecutor. he basically told them to go back and go around the room and for each person to explain the weakness in their own position. that was a very interesting charge. as the judge was explaining this to them, there were several of them that looked down, nodding their heads. some up and down, some back and forth. i also had the opportunity to just look at the davis family. they were heads bowed, holding each other. they looked pretty upset when they learned it was count 1, the count related to their child's death that the jury was hung on. while they seem to be optimistic, they looked very, very concerned. i also had the opportunity to see that the government, the prosecutors were walking away with the davis family. it seemed tha

sunny hostin joins us live. so the jury has had several questions about the charges. they have been in there for more than 20 hours. what is of the million-dollar question. i think if you look and listen to the questions, it seems that they are struggling with michael du dunn's testimony and his credibility. it was so unusual for a first-degree murder defendant to get on the witness stand, but he did. he got on the witness stand. he claimed to have seen a shotgun, don, in the car with these four young boys. he claims that jordan davis got out of the car and brandished this weapon and he felt in fear of his life and that is why he shot ten times into the car. it's clear to me and to other people that have been watching this trial that perhaps there are a few jurors that do believe that version of events. they have been asking questions directly related to self-defense. not only today, but also yesterday. and i think that is what this is going o come down to. what is so fascinating is people are saying this is not a stand your ground case. this is a stand your ground case because it was instructed to the jury. they got the d
