>> reporter: well, they were absolutely jubilant. there were shouts, even though the judge admonished spectators not to have any outbursts, there were shouts in the courtroom that could be heard. once the family members emerged from court to a throng of adoring fans, they gave their reaction. let's listen. >> michael loves everybody out here. we all love them. guess what? he was in that courtroom and that's why victory was served. >> justice was served, yes. it wasn't enough time, though. >> what would you say for michael? >> michael is with us. michael is with us. >> reporter: you know, the fan reaction, there were hundreds of fans gathered out here, outside the courtroom yesterday afternoon to hear that verdict. there was an eruption, joy, jubilation, by those fans. several hours after the verdict was read, when i left here yesterday evening, there were still fans on the sidewalk behind me playing michael jackson's music and dancing to it, carol. >> casey wian, live in los angeles, thanks so much. remembering boxing legend joe frazier. we'll look back on the life of joe frazier. he was one of the great he's men ever to enter the boxing ring. attorney eric holder heads to testify on a controversial program that has some calling for his job. home menu orange chn women men and uh pandas... elbows mmm [ male announcer ] wanchai ferry, try it yourself. at aviva, we wonder why other life insurance companies treat you like a policy, not a person. instead of getting to know you they simply assign you a number. aviva is here to change all that. we're bringing humanity back to insurance and putting people before policies. aviva life insurance and annuities. we are building insurance around you. i don't always have time to eat like i should. that's why i like glucerna shakes. they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes, which can help lower a1c.
