(( One side fought to put the 14 year old boy it called a cold blooded killer in prison for the rest of his life. While the other side argued Nathaniel Brazill was just a boy who made a deadly mistake and
should get nothing more than manslaughter.
The jury came back with a compromise.
A conviction of second degree murder could mean 25 years to life in prison. Nathanial's attorney said his client was both relieved and
saddened.
ROBERT UDELL/BRAZILL'S ATTORNEY.. HE SAID IT WAS NOT TOO BAD..THEN
HE CRIED AND WAS VERY UPSET.
All along the defense insisted it was an accident - when Brazill killed his English teacher Barry Grunow with a single gunshot to the
face.
In the fifteen hours of deliberations jurors requested to review the school surveillance tape twice. it shows Brazill at Lakeworth Middle
School before during and after the shooting. But what ever was the
defining moment that led jurors to their verdict - the prosecution says it accepts their decision. Reminding everyone that this was clearly a
case that had no victors.

Today's essentially a day off for the Governor. It's a day to get to
know her two young daughters. 11:08:13 :05
Doctors expect Swift to remain in the hospital for four or five day.
Then, she will return to her western Massachusetts home, almost 150
miles from her Boston office, for an eight week working leave of
absence.
Carlson Bridge in front of Brigham and Women's:
Governor Swift checked into the hospital last week as she awaited the
birth of her twins. Her decision to work by telephone and not relinquish
power to the next in succession is provoking controversy.
MOS: Guy
I think she should be in the office, in the city, taking care of
business. I don't think she should telecommuting like this. I think she
should be hands on. 14:14:02 :08
MOS: Woman
If a guy were to have a baby, wouldn't he go back to his job? I think
he would. 14:15:46 :06
MOS: Woman
Go for it. Why not? If she has problems, physically or something like
that, then she can confront them but I don't think there's any reason
for her stop governing. 14:07:16 :10
Swift is no stranger to controversy. An ethics panel found she created
an "appearance of impropriety" by allowing aides to babysit for her
daughter. She apologized for using a state helicopter to fly her home
and she's been criticized for choosing to live so far from work.
SOT: Howie Carr, WRKO Radio Talk Show Host
As the summer wears on and she continues to collect 2600 a week people
will get tired of this situation. 7:36:46 :05
