Thinking . I clearly i wasnt thinking. U. S. Soccer star hope solo at the center of that huge firestorm speaking out for the first time this morning about her offthefield trouble and her hope for the future. And good morning, america. We have a lot to get to this wednesday morning and we begin with that american sniper verdict. The jury got the case a little after 7 30. By 10 00 they had a verdict. Eddie routh convicted of murdering chris kyle and his friend chad littlefield. Of course this case made so famous by the movie american sniper see Bradley Cooper playing chris kyle. Six of the jurors will join us in an abc news exclusive taking us inside their deliberations but first abcs ryan owens has the latest from stephenville, texas. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, robin. It did not take the jury long to decide they did not buy the insanity defense here. As you mentioned, they only had the case for about 2 1 2 hours and nearly an hour of that was dinner. We, the jury find the defend eddie ray routh, guilty of the offense of capital murder. Reporter eddie routh will spend the rest of his life in a texas prison. The outcome the families of american sniper chris kyle and chad littlefield were hoping for. Weve waited two years for god to get justice for us on behalf of our son. Reporter routh showed no emotion as the verdict was read. He hasnt this entire trial. And no reaction this morning from taya kyle chriss widow. She left in tears after closing arguments and never returned but she was here every day of the nineday trial and was the first witness. Who were you married to prior to february the 2nd, 2013 . Chris kyle. Okay. Reporter the judge didnt allow audio to be broadcast during the trial so this is our first time hearing her emotional testimony. I was outside our house on easter morning, chris hiding easter eggs ss for the kids. Reporter as she watched whose life became a blockbuster. Green light. Reporter detailing the last time she saw her husband alive. Said we loved each other and gave each other a kiss and a hug like we always did. Reporter this morning we also finally hear the killers voice on the Police Interrogation tape. Eddie routh answering that pivotal question. Did you know the difference between wrong and right . Yes, sir. Reporter and apologizing to the victims families. Id tell them im so sorry for what i done and if i could have done it differently, id done it a whole lot differently. Reporter in closing arguments the prosecutor told the jury this man shot two men in the back in hournin and our county finds him guilty and thats exactly what they did. George. Thanks ryan. We are joined by several of the jurors who reached this decision last night. Thank you so much for joining us. I know you had a long night last night but let me begin with barrett. You deliberated for a little over two hours. How were you able to reach it so quickly. We had our strong feelings. We were led the same direction. We spent time to go back over the facts that led us in that direction and ultimately unanimous decision you know multiple times. We just like i said reinforced why it was a unanimous decision and where we got to where we got. Heidi, was there any disagreement at the beginning . Not really. It was kind of we felt like we shouldnt just come to a decision. We felt like we needed to talk things over first and figure out whether everybody was on the same page or if we needed to discuss something more so we took our time before we actually came to the guilty verdict. We discussed Different Things and asked questions and talked it over. Christina yeager eddie routh had so much bizarre behavior. Did you all just decide he was faking . That was something that we really had to figure out in the beginning. I know a lot of us came into this jury questioning that. But evidence shows that there was a real definite pattern there when it came to you know his earlier convictions before the trial. Sara tell us more about that pattern. Well, when i say theres a pattern that we saw, it was, you know he would be he would get intoxicated, get in trouble and then the police would show up and he would say im a veteran. I have ptsd. Im insane. You know and every time something bad happened hed pull that card and also just other evidence like his other convictions and then as well as you know just pattern behaviors through his interviews with the specialists. And bottom line barrett, you all were convinced he knew the difference between right and wrong when he pulled those triggers . Yes, sir. Without a doubt. Without a doubt. He knew the consequences of pulling the trigger the first time. A lot of people are wondering if he could get a fair trial given all the publicity surround this case given the movie, the extreme popularity of this movie american idol, did any of you see the movie and are you confident that you went into this with an open mind . The movie . There might have been a few of us that did, barrett might have. I did. Barrett, you saw the movie. How did it impact you . It gave me a better outlook on chris role as a marine what that job entitles a greater respect for it. But as far as the action that is took place on february 2nd, you know chad was till in the picture and chad was not in that movie. I basically put the fact that chris was a marine you know out of my mind and just looked at him as a person. Looked at chad as a person and looked at eddie as a person and tried to make, you know reasonable judgment. Finally, is there anything else you want our viewers to know about this case . I think its a sad story for both families its a very sad story. Its a tragedy and its i hope that the families the littlefield and kyl families get some closure over there. Well thank you all for your service and thanks for your time this morning. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You heard barrett say it right there. No doubt this their minds about this conviction. Without a doubt thats how they said it all right, george. To that air safety alert. Federal regulators allowing southwest to keep flying more than 100 planes despite missing a key inspection and Abcs David Kerley is at atlantas Hartsfield Jackson airport with the latest. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin. This caused quite a mess for Southwest Airlines yesterday. They had to cancel 80 flights because it missed an inspection in a quarter of its fleet of a specific jetliner. Now, the problem is in the rudder in the tail section. What southwest did is it didnt inspect the backup hydraulic system there in 128 of its 450 nearly 450 737700s so what is happening now, the faa is allowing southwest to continue flying those aircraft if it does those inspections over the next five days . Why . This is like your 100,000mile checkup of your car. A lot of systems are to be looked at. It doesnt mean theyll fail. For as long as they complete the inspections by sunday the faa says these planes are safe to fly but i got to tell you southwest has faced a lot of fines over inspections, 7 million, a proposed 12 million fine so this one i think theyll try to get done in okay david, thanks very much. Lets check in with ginger. More brutal Winter Weather. We got another storm coming to the south and a lot more cold up here. Third in less than a week for this area. This is not something you normally see at the end of february so you could hear it on ryan owens umbrella either rain or sleet and both being detected around dallas. Snow will move in. Winter weather advisories from there through winter storm warnings southern arkansas to atlanta to richmond. So its that large swath and i think a lot of folks will get that showstopping schoolclosing type of snow and a little bit of ice in some places. So heres some of the pockets of heavier snow southwestern arkansas. The mountains of tennessee, Western North carolina and as it wraps up in virginia and delaware. This all because weve got cold air on top, of course and major cold air, look at where were at great lakes ice coverage 84. 5 . That is the highest yet this season. Last year we made it above 90 to give you perspective. We have this video. Youve got to see off lake huron of an ice cutter trying to make it through. There were actual shipping lanes shut down. People that could not get through and although we have a little break today with mild air, more cold headed our way. Look at some of the subzero temperatures headed in for chicago, philadelphia down to 11 as we start your saturday morning so robin, i wish i had better news. I will eventually for some people so stick around. All right. We will ginger. Thank you. But now to that home explosion in new jersey. Police dash cam capturing the whole thing. A gas leak fueling the blast that leveled a house, injured 15. But it could have been even worse. Abcs tom llamas is in stafford township new jersey with more. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. Just behind me theyre still making repairs to that gas main. Nearly 24 hours after people started to report the smell of gas in the air. There are pieces of this home everywhere insulation like this litters the neighborhood. The explosion so powerful it rocked homes in every direction. The video stunning. Youre watching a jersey shore home blown to pieces in a natural gas explosion tuesday. Watch again. A Police Dash Cam catching it all. From the air, you can see the home blown clear from its base a gasfed fire in its wake. The explosion felt a mile away. Happened so quickly. Reporter the first sign of trouble came 90 minutes earlier when someone reported smelling gas in the neighborhood which is near atlantic city. 75 homes were soon evacuated. Confirmed we got a critical got one down critical. Reporter it turns out the house was under renovation and empty but 15 people hurt including six firefighters and two utility workers who were critically injured and airlifted to an er. Mostly had hearing problems. Reporter town Officials Say a twoinch gas pain apparently broke, though its still unclear how and what exactly ignited the blast. The police chief telling me they released this video to show the dangers of gas leaks, something they say could happen to anyone. I think a lot of times people minimize the potential risk to them and i think this really highlights the fact that you know what there is a real grave danger and need to get away from any potential gas leaks. Now at last check those two utility workers were still in Critical Condition and surveying that damage up close its amazing they survived. It really is. Tom, thank you. To amy with the other top developing stories right now. Good morning. Good morning, everyone.

Reporter this morning, the man who drove a pickup truck and trailer on to these Railroad Tracks causing a fiery crash is behind bars. Police arresting Jose Alejandro sanchezramirez on felony hitandrun. It was not stuck or bottomed out on the track but traveled down the Railroad Track itself. Reporter the metrolink train left east ventura at 5 25 a. M. Just 20 minutes into the trip the truck turned on to the tracks and traveled about 80 feet before colliding with the train headon. Police say the driver may have accident accidentally turned too soon thinking he was already at the intersection just ahead. But overnight the drivers lawyer said trucks often get caught on the tracks at that location. It appears from preliminary reports there was nothing mr. Mr. Ramirez could do to prevent the accident once his truck was stuck on the tracks. Ted maloney pulled victims off the train. There was laptops, lunches, purses all over the place. Reporter but investigators say this scene could have been much worse. Crediting new technology.

The two fugitives that forced them into it and gio benitez has the story. Reporter this morning, new details about the two men allegedly behind a dramatic Home Invasion and attempted bank robbery in the connecticut suburbs. Abc news learning from police that the suspects wore ski masks, goggles and dark clothing confronting and tying up local Bank ExecutiveMatthew Yussman an 70yearold mother at their bristol home after midnight holding them hostage for hours. Yussman telling police the two suspects last seen driving a car believed to be a white older model fourdoor mazda spoke fluent english but with distinct accents, not consistent with being native to connecticut. The men allegedly tying yussmans mother to her bed and strapping what they claimed was an exclusive device on him forcing him to travel to the bank where he works at 8 00 a. M. Threatening to kill both of them if he didnt steal money from the banks vault. Yussman never entering the building. Instead calling a colleague from the parking lot who alerted police. It was just wild to think Something Like that could happen in a nice neighborhood like this. Reporter this morning, police and the fbi say they are still investigating whether yussman was a true victim or part of the plot himself. Its very common in Violent Crime that the victim and the offender are connected in some way. Reporter no one injured in the ordeal and this morning a good sign. Yussmans 70yearold mother seen driving back to her home safe and sound. Detectives not far behind. If you could say anything what would you say to them . I would say god bless you for going through what you did. Reporter for Good Morning America, gio benitez, abc news now britain, connecticut. A strange story. We turn to big news over the weekend in the sports world. Hope solo is reinstated by u. S. Soccer and robin, she sat down with you for an exclusive interview. Thats right much hope solo has helped lead team usa to two olympic gold medals but lately shes been making more headlines off the field and this morning shes opening up about those problems for the first time. Quite a save by solo. Reporter with two olympic gold medals and record 78 career shutouts hope solo is arguably one of the best athletes in the world. But last june her career almost came to a halt. At a Family Gathering she was charged with Domestic Violence assault accused by her nephew of pumping and tackling him. Solo pleaded not guilty and was released pending trial. Eight months later the case was dismissed. I can only imagine what it had to have been like for those eight months hearing those things that were said and you were not able to say what happened that night. Are you able now. Still very difficult to talk about. What took place that night. Im not going to go into all of the details. I was a victim of Domestic Violence at the handsff a my 17yearold nephew who is 69. 280 pounds. I was struck over the head and concussed pretty severely. It was a very scary night. You were not suspended by u. S. Soccer and many people felt that in light of what was going on in the nfl with violence and assault and players were being suspended, that you were not and how do you respond to those critics who say, hey, wait a minute, is that fair. All of us in my opinion have a fundamental right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. I know u. S. Soccer took a lot of heat but i am very grateful that they let due process play itself out. But then jus after being exonerated for assault charges, solo was in the headlines again. Her husband, former Seattle SeahawkJerramy Stevens was arrested for driving under the influence driving a u. S. Soccer team van. Hope was in the vehicle. This time u. S. Soccer suspended solo for 30 days. What in the world were you thinking . Clearly i wasnt thinking. It was horrible choice. I think i just wasnt in a good place emotionally to even make good decisions. I mean its not an excuse but i just it was stupid. We should have called a taxi. I can only imagine hope you must be on a roller coaster of emotions. Im working through those emotions, i will filled with anger and im finally able to sit down and talk to somebody about what ive been going through, very traumatic events over the last year and just being ableo speak to somebody has been beneficial for me. I can cry it out. I can try to understand it. Its been healthy for me to just talk it out and to deal with my emotions instead of just tucking them away. Knowing that you have so many young fans and they have parents and to know that the suspension was because of a behavioral issue, how do you deal with that . Im not going to be too hard on myself right now. But, you know in terms of what parents tell their kids everybody makes mistakes. Everybody learns from them hopefully and continues to work on themselves. Im a work in progress and i will continue to be a work in progress until the end of my days. Solo is focused on the future and says shes finally in a good place, not perfect but good. What is it that you want people when they see this to walk away thinking about you differently than what they may have thought about you before. I want people to realize im just human. Im just human and i make mistakes and i want people to be able to forgive me if theyre willing to do so, i just want to be the best athlete i can be the best person i can be and i know i have a lot of room for improvement. And late last night we received a statement from hopes nephew and his mother regarding our story and they believe and this is a quote from them it does a disservice to Domestic Violence victims to suggest that ones physical size is a determinative of whether one is an abuser. They maintain that hope was the aggressor but once again all charges were dropped in that case and she is currently with the National Team in portugal playing in a tournament playing norway next week all in anticipation of the world cup which will be this summer in canning da. Coming back. Owning up to her mistakes and looking forward to the future and well have much more on our conversation in later days. Good luck to her. Ginger.

Last month the video so good okay so a highway patrolman, this car slides out of control and, look the person falls out of the car. The patrolman can hardly stop. Just in time. Such a lucky, lucky thing. He ended up being okay. So as we look at those winter storm warnings and advisories maybe you make the choice not to go out. Des moines youre in one and some could see 4 to 7 plus inches locally 10 from de moiven to ames even up to waterloo. Central illinois and thats just the top storm right .

Abcs linsey davis teamed up with our washington, d. C. Station wjla for the story. Reporter this blatant disregard for red lights watch as these school buses whiz through busy intersections well after the traffic light has changed. In many cases we never even see the red of their brake lights. Its really shocking to see that. Reporter this bus driver does it right in front of a Police Officer and there is no hesitation here as this school bus barrels through the intersection a full four seconds after the lightns red. School bus drivers have to be conservative and they have to be prepared to stop. Reporter its happening all over the country. Ohio arizona, maryland and new york and in many cases children are on board. In the last year and a half School Bus Drivers in Montgomery County in maryland received 100 speed and red light camera tickets. A number the director of transportation there told our affiliate wjla he considers low considering the hundreds of thousands of miles driven by district drivers. Theyre much safer in one of our buses by far than even the parents car. Reporter some face stiff fines while others face suspension but Safety Experts are quick to point out children are ten times safer on a school bus than walking to school but after seeing videos like these, many are now looking for assurance that instead of breaking the law School Bus Drivers will simply step on the brakes instead.

I want to say to zendaya and anyone else out there that i have hurt that i am so so sincerely sorry. Reporter apologizing on air after overwhelming criticism calling comments she about teen actress and former dancing with the stars contestant zendaya oscars look offensive and racist.

Rancics Fashion Police colleague Kelly Osbourne defending zendaya in a series of tweets calling the actress a friend writing, i do not condone racism adding that shes even contemplating the future of her career writing, as a result of this im seriously questioning staying on the show. Meanwhile, some are saying rancics apology might not be enough. I just want everyone to know i didnt intend to hurt anybody. But ive learned it is not my intent that matters. Its the result. For Good Morning America, linsey davis, abc news, new york. An effort to be snarky and funny people just cross the line one too many times but it seemed like a sincere apology. I agree. She did. Next up in the gma heat index, the new dieting trend that could make you feel a little better about these cold winter days right . The bonechilling temperatures may actually help you lose weight by stimulating the body to burn extra calories. Abcs becky worley has more on whats being called cold dieting. Good morning there, becky. What are you doing now . Good morning, robin. I know. This may look like torture as i dip into an ice bath but some claim this could actually be supercharging my metabolism and helping me burn whoo extra calories but does it work . Cold dieting, theres a rush of new theories products and services that say braving the cold amongst other things will burn extra calories. Oh my gosh. So the cryolife cham peruses air to create a dry negative 254 degree environment. Each session costs 90. The company says three minutes in here has several Health Benefits including its a great supportive tool for weight loss. Reporter cold yes, but weight loss . Well there have been studies that show lengthy exposure to cold can burn extra calories but couldnt find any dirrelated to this much shorter exposure like that in the kryolife chamber. But you may be asking why not just brave the elements . Heres the problem. When does boosting your metabolism turn into hypothermia or frostbite or worse. Yeah, dont try that at home. A more moderate approach the Cold Shoulder. Ice packs slot into the vest and the company says wearing it for three hours a day could burn up to 500 extra calories. Im at San FranciscoState University to first measure how many calories i burn normally. Expended about 1. 41 k cals per minute. Now 20 minces wearing the Cold Shoulder vest. Your caloric expenditure went up to 1. 52 k cals per minute. 7 or 8 increase. Reporter do the math. In my case it doesnt add up to an extra 500 calorie or the equivalent of 25 increase. The makers of the Cold Shoulder say they performed a similar test and noted roughly the same calorie boost, 10 to 12 but they stand by the weight loss claims explaining a different test they did with eight users who wore the Cold Shoulder twice a day and experienced an extra pound of fat loss over when they didnt use it. Bottom line on cold dieting i definitely would not recommend using this as a replacement to physical energy and physical expend di pure via exercise. Now you dont have to buy anything if you want to try cold dieting, the old ice bath is right here waiting for you. But our lawyers want me to mention you might want to talk to your doctor before you try anything like this and, me robin, i think im just going to walk for an extra 10 or 15 minutes and never do this again. Yeah who knows how many calories do during this report sitting im sure youd get out of the tub get out ofhere thanks for taking that on becky. Would you cold diet .

Target Just Launched ava ava viv this past january. Its chic its trendy and affordable which is the best part of all. Affordable the price points. 9. 99 so every woman can find something she loves and plus size is a really big deal. A couple of the looks. We have a little fashion show happening so gabi tell us about the look. Erica jean looks amazing in this black jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are huge this spring. I love them because theyre one piece so you can throw it on. Dont have to think too much. The stretchy fabric of this. Fits her so well. We have a drawstring at the waist and brings her in gives her a great shape and then a tapered leg so she has a nice curve of her hip and dress it up or down and super versatile. All black day to night and here we have it paired with a great pair of heels and then of course the little pop of color when wearing all black so the nice clutch and the best part is its only 34. 99 for that jumpsuit. Well done up to 4x. You casually have your gray blazer slung over your shoulder which is great because day to night exactly. Thank you. And as we continue with our fashion show we have monique. A casual look. Exactly. Monique looks great in this daytime look. We have her in a nice printed top with a cute jean and denim can be hard for any woman of any size. This is great because they go up to size 26 and just this dresden anymore is really in for this spring and because it fits a little tighter on the bottom we have a looser top, a pop of color with a bag and could wear heels or sneakers with this but the sandals are a nice daytime casual look. Super versatile and the whole look is under 65. Really really nice. Those are so cute. I love the sandals. Metallic, great. Looking good. All right. So ultimately ava viv, the philosophy behind it is affordable. Is there a look or way or advice you can give viewers about how to put it together.
