The prosecution is going to say, her story doesnt make sense. Theyll focus on what she did afterwards. They have a lot of evidence that she was engaged in a coverup. She wasnt telling the truth, et cetera. Theyll point out specifics. Some of the Text Messages. An hour and a half after her husband died, shes texting about dance moves. The defense will try to put the police on trial. Theyre going to say they have not gibb Accurate Accounts of what she said. Theyll foe downs Legal Standard a lot. Youre talking about the intent to kill somebody. For first or seconddegree murder, you need a level of intent. It cant have just been that she was defending herself, pushing back. And the prosecution has the burden of proof when it comes to that. And no eyewitness. That has to be dafifficult for e prosecution. It will make it very hard. You heard there, the discussion about the possibility that there was a blindfold involved. Without an eyewitness, where there was just the two of them there, with just some level of physical evidence associated with the blindfold. I think firstdegree murder, very, very hard for prosecutors to prove here. Thats why. Pau because there were no witnesses. Even though shes been inconsistent . That will likely lead to a conviction of something. But likely the lesser charges. Thank you, dan. Sfwlnc time for the weather again. Back out to ginger zee in hartford, connecticut.

You brush him aside the way you do all of them. Reporter critics included kym karath from the original film. This one showed a picture of a board. These are a few of my favorite things reporter it cant be easy for anyone to be compared to the iconic jewelry andrews. For that matter, haters gonna hate. Underwood fired back. Plain and simple, mean people need jesus. They will be in my prayers tonight, citing a biblical verse, urging raersd to rid themselves of malice, envy, and slander. She was probably curious of what people thought of it. Reporter she got a lot of love as well, from cameron diaz, who tweeted, you did an amazing job, and from anna kendrick, yes, girlers bust out that belt again. Maybe she will. Who would have the fortitude the take on maria von trapp and axl rose. For Good Morning America, chris connelly, abc news, los angeles. Gotta stand up for herself. Absolutely. Its not easy to do something different. Take on an iconic role. And fighting meanness with kindness. She just silenced her critics. I like the idea of doing different.

This hightech newborn to toddler activity seat features a builtin ipad and it has parents rattled and up in arms. Some calling it the worst baby product ever. A lot of parents are upset because it just feels like theyre taking technology too far and introducing it too early. Reporter in a statement to abc news, fisherprice tells us we know the apptivity seat is not for everyone. The app times out after ten minutes. Its not an alwayson feature. For parents who choose to opt out, the toy bar features a builtin peer ror. This is not the first high tech product geared for babies. Theres the apptivity gym made by fisherprice and the two in one ipotty, which is not. While these products may not be from everyone, some parents are sold. This could be the answer a lot of overtired moms and dads are looking for. Reporter for Good Morning America, abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. We asked a lot of people what they thought. Kind of joef womening online and twitter. Most people were against it. As opposed to actually talking to them is this my kid has every gadget. Adrianne tweeted, i do not like this. Parents need to be interact piv. Lets bring in Richard Besser. You agree . I do. There are reasons this is not a good idea. The babys brain is developing at incredibly rapid pace. It needs interaction with people. Babies need to see faces. See how living creatures are responding to what theyre doing. We know from experience of children and television that the more time they get there, the slower their language develops. What about ten minutes here or there . The mommy wants to take a shower . Busy parent. It does come down to moms more than dads. What do you do during that time. There are things you can do. Thats when your child needs to learn, how do i entertain myself . You build kreecreativity. You can put plastic mixes cups on the floor outside the shower. They develop skills. How do i have fun on my own . Doe we have wooden blocks . Thats how we examine children. I give them blocks to see how they do wit. What are the guidelines . Nothing under 2 . The academy of pediatrics s discourages any screen time. The other thing is not just for your child, but they discourage it as background for you. They find that when as a parent, you have that on, youre not interacting with your child. Good point, rich. Thanks. Well, it is the most daunting task of the holiday season. Getting your kids to sit style for the Christmas Card portrait. It doesnt have to be all bad. We have invaluable advice. Heres paula faris. Reporter taking that flawless family photo is not always a perfect process. Impossible. Reporter with websites like awkward. Com, people share their holiday portraits groan awry. The crying baby on santas lap. Or the uncomfortable matching outfits. What tipypically goes wrong . Tempers. Impatience. Im hungry. Im thirsty. Reporter but Lindsay Snyder says taking the first pic could be a click away. Tip number one have fun. Avoid the word cheese and smile. Resort to saying, monkey sounds. Then you get a photo where everybody is smiling and laughing. Reporter tip two. Coordinate, but dont match. The second theyre matching, it will be dated. Monkey reporter tip number three, if its a family photo, make sure youre actually in it. Without that, they might not know who the card is coming from. Your kids want to see what you look like. They want to see what mom and dad were like. Reporter yaeeah, mom looked good back in the day. And finally, dont be afraid to use holiday props. Such as my 9 months pregnant belly. My kids got on n on the action to show you our gift. I destroyed every pregnant picture of myself. You took one for the team. Is everybody having a good time here . We talked about having fun. How important it is. Probably the single most important tip happens before you show up to the photo shoot. Make sure you are well rested. And wellfed. If you have children, bring snacks. It is so important. Theres a reason all of those things are important. As us moms know to bring sacks in and distracting toys. How many photos can you expect to take before you find the perfect one . You just need one. I would expect between 100 and 150. A lot of times, the best ones are the candids in between the staged photos. The ones where the kids are crying, reaching out, those are the ones you love forever. Sometimes the messups are the ones that live on and you put on the refrigerator. They tell the best stories about your beautiful, chaotic life. How long were you there with your kids . A couple of hours. But we were there for the entire story. The photographer just engaging. Dont laugh kids. Do anything but. When you say dont laugh, they do. They have a good time. Im n im not going to sit on santas lap. We invite you to send in your funny holiday photos. Coming up, Bradley Cooper is here live to talk about. Hey his new movie, american hustle. Go nowhere. Good photo bomb. Where are the hottest stars coming on planet effort . Good morning, america. All you have to do is sit here and say, good morning, america. Were talking bradley, ben, justin, julia, brittany, steve, kristin, paul, tom. Oh, my gosh. Even its your old friend, ron burgundy. All december, its Good Morning Americas allstar holiday party. Good morning. Im kristen sze.

Thank you for having me. Part of the sting of the 1970s. What are people going to be seeing here . That is the backdrop. What the story rekofls around. Its about the characters. Why david wanted to make the movie, to investigate the soulful, complicated, you know, not black or white characters but gray and who have a lot of heart and are trying to reinvent themselves. A lot of blur lired lines he. Who is conning, who the being conned . I dont like that youre in jail while hes going free. I dont like any of that. I want to help you.

A lot of trust here with david and the stable of actors. What is it like for you, personally, again, you get the Team Back Together again after all the success of Silver Linings playbook. Great to work with him again . It is. Everybody signed on without him having written the script jet. He pitched it all to every actor. For me personally, i feel like i w have been working with him for three years straight. We were in proes production of Silver Linings playbook when we were prepping american hustle. You mentioned working on a david o. Russell film. You said it would scary or could be . Theres no net. Whatever you had prepared for at the day, be ready to throw it out the window. Whatever is going to happen will be fresh and new. Hes rewriting while the camera is rolling. Its the most communal experience i have ever had. Everybody is right there together. And i like the collaboration and as evidenced, you and he sat down to talk about something that i hadnt seen seasons my mother called me home in the third grade, i think back in 1980. The hair. And you i love about it is that you guys decided it wouldnt just be how his hair was that richie decided, your character was making the decision to have to curl his hair. Yeah. What was it like .
