I swore i saw aaron hernandezs fiance in the middle of that huge crowd of reporters and they got into that white van and drove away. i also -- paul passed me a vital question to ask. take it away. >> i think one of the interesting things about this case is this charge this first-degree murder charge it requires finding of extreme cruelty or atrocity. now, how could they know what went on since theres no eyewitness who testified to the murder? you only have gunshot wounds that were confirmed by a...

Based on some of the limitations that were given to the prosecution that the jury would struggle and that they were in fact struggling with reaching the correct verdict in this case. and murder one certainly absolutely murder two is the correct verdict as far as im concerned. >> im just looking at the pictures of aaron hernandez sitting there handcuffed and deputy sheriffs surrounding him. i would assume they are doing that -- i would assume theyre doing that paul because you never know what aar...

Frankly, carol, about the disparity between what you and i and everybody at home knew about hernandez. the fact that he had another double homicide backed up against this one where he was accused of killing two people outside a nightclub here in boston over a night inside of a club and another case where hes accused of assaulting a correction officer and inmate in prison. the fact that his fiance is charged with lying to the grand jury 20 times. we know all of these things about him that the jur...

Her arms as though to say thank you. at that exact same moment the fiance and the mother of aaron hernandez were openly weeping in court holding onto each other. aaron hernandez looking back at them and mouthing the words be strong. its okay at various intervals. himself listening to the jury being polled taking deep breaths and letting it out. and looking certainly the most serious i have ever seen him look during the course of this entire trial that began back in january. i will say this. one ...

Verdict count by count. and the judge has already admonished the folks in the courtroom that she does not want any outburst. she does not want there to be a reaction. and i would imagine that you will hear gasps or some sort of reaction because it is very hard for people to contain themselves in a case thats this emotional and thats been going on for this long carol. >> absolutely. as i said, our susan candiotti is inside that courtroom awaiting that verdict. she did tweet us some information. a...

Had in the last few days because a joint venture is not as easy as it sounds. >> not only that. i think prosecutors fail to provide a motive for why aaron hernandez would kill odin lloyd. >> the prosecutors would respond we dont need to prove motive. motive is not an element of any crime. the defense masterfully -- if you listen to closing argument made the argument for many many minutes that there was no motive even though motive is not required. they did more than that. they took that lack of ...

Well see impact statements in the tsarnaev boston bombing trial and one thing prosecution has done in that case is reserved some of the most gut wrenching testimony for that aspect of the trial in the boston bombing case. youll hear from martin richards mother. youll hear from the amputees in that section of the trial. they save them for that part of the trial. in this case youre giving victims a chance to have their day in court and to hopefully -- if there was an instance where the judge would...

And help the state actually by saying that he ordered her to take a box out of the basement which was always believed to be the murder weapon which remains missing in this case. evidently that wasnt enough to sway this jury. they found him guilty on all counts. those who suggested that perhaps because there was no clear motive presented by the state in this case that you didnt really recover a murder weapon and couldnt exactly put it in his hands for sure at the scene, evidently the jury either ...

Verdict has been reached. i cant imagine being a part of the case. theres a nervousness and anticipation and stress. remember this is a celebrity trial. and that could also have been an issue. i covered many celebrity trials and when kobe bryant -- it never went to trial. when he was in that courtroom you were watching a celebrity. jurors saw that. this jury was predominantly female. seven females and five men. that can influence you. >> absolutely. im just thinking about how many hours the jury...

And the defendant is guilty of unlawful possession of ammunition on indictment 2013-983-c. so say you made a.m. foreperson yes or no. >> yes. >> so say all members of the jury. >> yes. >> you may be seated. >> members of the jury and i include those of you who deliberated and those who are alternates i want to thank all of you very very much for giving your valuable time to hear and decide this case. i am not unmindful of the sacrifice you all made to serve on this jury and the disruptions to yo...
