gave him a piece of his mind. >> reporter: the jury heard the commotion and the bailiff ordered the packed courtroom not to move until they figured out what was happening outside. >> was it physical or more verbal? >> it was verbal. what do you expect. this guy did evil things to a lot of people. >> reporter: lynch says father lindner molested him and his brother during a camping trip to the

quickly adjourned until next week. but not because of the disturbance outside the court. the court did not give a specific reason. however, most court observers think the judge wants to talk with prosecutors about yesterday's testimony by father lindner. on the stand wednesday lindner denied molesting lynch and his younger brother, and prosecutors say he's probably lying. some say that's perjury. >> that is testimony the jury's already heard and they can't unring that bell. so what they're going to have to do in that point is declare a mistrial and at that point the d.a. is going to have to decide, are they going to want to try to go forward on a case where they have a pedophile as a star witness, who they also said is a liar, that may make it very difficult. >> in past years the

want to pencil safety trenton robinson into the group of new guys who could make key contributions this season. we're introduced to robinson as we met the rookies. >> it was just a maturity thing. as i grew up, i just figured, you're here for football, and this is what you need to do, if you want to be successful and go places. >> reporter: that maturity came at michigan state, where safety trenton robinson credits his coaches for teaching him how to become a leader. >> my defensive back told me, if you just do what you're supposed to do, and lead by example, and just go out there and play football, do what you're supposed to do off the field, your teammates will respect you and look up to you. >> reporter: robinson did exactly that. his senior year his teammates chose him as a team captain. he led with his emotions and ended up being first team all in ten. >> i love this game so much, so when i'm out on the field, i'm very excited. i am just in my zone. i love to see my teammates make plays. and do great things. when i'm out on the field, i'm living through somebody, so my excitement level and enthusiasm is through the roof. you have to play this game with enthusiasm. you have to be going at it, if you want to be successful. >> reporter: robinson brings that enthusiasm and emotion with him to the 49ers, where the sixth-round pick is already ready to be part of a fearsome defense. >> i'm really excited to learn from the guys. and see how they practice and perform. because i already know just watching them on sundays, that the defensive unit, when they go out there, there's no games. it's business and it's nasty. it's everything i like about a defense. >> niners defense, one of the best in football right now. and they're still looking for ways to get better. that will do it for now, raj and jessica. remember, nba highlights coming up tonight. watch sportshe calentret ce comcast sports bay area. coming up tonight at 11:00, a story that's
