ERIN: GOOD EVENING, I'M ERIN
CLARK.
DAN: AND I'M DAN GREEN.
WE ARE BEGINNING TONIGHT WITH A
GUILTY VERDICT BEING ANNOUNCED
IN THE HIGH PROFILE MURDER CASE
OF A MORGAN HILL TEEN KIDNAPPED
AND MURDERED ON HER WAY TO
SCHOOL.
ERIN: IT'S THE CASE OF SIERRA
LAMAR, AND TODAY HER ACCUSED
KILLER FOUND GUILTY OF FIRST
DEGREE MURDER.
WE HAVE LIVE TEAM COVERAGE ON
TODAY'S VERDICT AND REACTION
FROM SIERRA LAMAR'S HOMETOWN OF
MORGAN HIL
WE START WITH ACTION NEWS
REPORTER FELIX CORTEZ.
FELIX: DAN, ERIN, OUR CAMERAS
WEREN'T ALLOWED IN THE COURTROOM
FOR TODAY'S VERDICT
ANNOUNCEMENT, BUT I CAN TELL
YOU, ANTOLIN GARCIA-TORRES BOWED
HIS HEAD AFTER THE GUILTY
VERDICT WAS ANNOUNCED, AS THE
SOUND OF CHEERS AND EXCITEMENT
ERUPTED IN THE GALLERY
FELIX: ANTOLIN GARCIA-TORRES
GUILTY OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER IN
THE KIDNAPPING AND MURDER OF
MORGAN HILL TEEN SIERRA LAMAR.
IT TOOK A JURY LESS THAN 12
HOURS OF DELIBERATING TO REACH
ITS DECISION
>> NOTHING WILL TAKE AWAY THE
PAIN AND THE SORROW WE'VE
EXPERIENCED EVERY DAY, AND WE
WILL CONTINUE TO EXPIERENCE THE
REST OF OUR LIVES.
BUT TRULY WE'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR
THE CHAPTER TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF
ENDING -- JUSTICE.
>> WE'LL OBVIOUSLY NEVER GET
SIERRA BACK, SO IT'S NOT
CLOSURE, BUT IT IS A GOOD FIRST
STEP AND THE JURY DID THE RIGHT
THING.
FELIX: THE 15-YEAR-OLD VANISHED
5 YEARS AGO AS SHE WALKED TO A
SCHOOL BUS STOP.
THE DEFENSE ARGUED SIERRA WAS A
RUNAWAY, AND THERE'S NO EVIDENCE
SHE'S DEAD.
BUT PROSECUTORS SAID THEY HAD
DNA EVIDENCE LINKING
GARCIA-TORRES TO HER MURDER, THE
JURY REACHING A GUILTY VERDICT
DESPIE HAVING NO BODY OR MURDER
WEAPON.
>> WE WANTED JUSTICE AND THE
JURY CAME THROUGH.
THE JURY BELIEVED THE EVIDENCE,
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO BODY.
THE JURY BELIEVED THE EVIDENCE,
AND SO WE'RE JUST GRATEFUL TO
THEM
AND GRATEFUL THAT THEY FOUND
GUILTY VERDICT.
>> JUST ELATED JUSTICE HAS BEEN
SERVED.
FELIX: SIERRA'S FATHER SAID
TUESDAY'S VERDICT WAS
BITTERSWEET.
>> WE DO NOT HAVE SIERRA AND
THAT IS THE BETTER -- A BITTER
PART.
BUT JUSTICE IS SERVED TODAY.
JUSTICE FOR SIERRA.
REPORTER: ANY WORDS FOR THE
FAMILY?
FELIX: THE FAMILY OF
GARCIA-TORRES LEFT THE
COURTHOUSE WITHOUT MAKING ANY
STATEMENT, AS DID HIS DEFENSE
TEAM.
THOSE SAME ATTORNEYS WILL NOW
ARGUE THAT THE CONVICTED KILLER
SHOULD NOT GET THE DEATH
PENALTY.
>> AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A
CHALLENGE, BECAUSE THIS JURY HAS
SAID THAT THEY BELIEVE TORRES
KILLED SIERRA LAMAR AND HE MUST
KNOW WHERE HER BODY IS.
>> I HOPE THE COWARD COMES
FORWARD SOMEDAY AND LETS THIS
FAMILY KNOW, GIVES THEM THAT
CLOSURE THAT THEY DESERVE AND
SIERRA DESERVES.
FELIX: THE SAME JURY THAT
CONVICTED ANTOLIN GARCIA-TORRES
WILL RETURN TO COURT NEXT
TUESDAY, TO BEGIN THE PENALTY
PHASE OF THE TRIAL.
PROSECUTORS WILL ARGUE FOR THE
DEATH PENALTY, DEFENSE ATTORNIES
WILL ARGUE FOR LIFE IN PRISON.

WHICH IS RELATIVELY A VERY NICE
PLACE, VERY SAFE.
BUT OUR COMMUNITY DEFINITELY
PULLED TOGETHER FOR HER AND I
HOPE HER PARENTS KNOW THAT WE
NEVER FORGOT ABOUT HER, WE NEVER
WILL.
BIANCA: BOTH WOMEN SAY THIS HIGH
PROFILE CASE HAS CHANGED THE WAY
THEY LIVE.
WHETHER IT IS KEEPING A CLOSER
EYE ON THEIR DAUGHTERS OR BEING

Top 10 Scariest Plants in the World
Proving the age old saying 'looks can be deceiving', here are some exotic plants
which hide very deadly secrets.
10.
Corpse Flower Unlike other plants on this list, the Corpse
Flower is not deadly to humans.
In cultivation this flower blooms approximately only every 7 – 10 years, gradually opening
in the afternoon and remaining open all night, giving off a particularly potent odor.
The smell is often compared to that of a rotting corpse and is used to attract insects which
usually feed on dead animals, becoming pollinators for this particularly ghastly plant.
9.
Gympie-Gympie
Also known as 'the stinging brush', the gympie-gympie is a large shrub native to rainforests
in Australia and Indonesia.
Tiny stinging hairs cover the whole plant and deliver a potent neurotoxin when touched.
These hairs penetrate the skin and cause an agonizing stinging sensation which can last
months.
A common treatment is to wash the area with a diluted hydrochloric acid and then use a
waxing srip to remove the offending hairs.
Fans of 'Breaking Bad' may remember what this ricin producing plant is capable of.
A lethal dose to adults can be as little as 4 seeds with symptoms of ricin poisoning including
nausea, hypotension and seizures.
If left untreated, death can occur within a week.
Despite being thought of as one of the world's deadliest plants, reports of poisonings are
relatively rare – in most cases a full recovery can be made if treatment is received in time.
7.
Doll's Eye
Native to eastern North America, these plants grow to around 50cm tall and produce a white
berry.
Both the berry and the plant are highly poisonous to humans, producing a cardiogenic toxin which
can have an immediate effect on cardiac muscle tissue.
Ingestion of the berries usually leads to cardiac arrest followed by death.
6.
Manchineel Tree
The fruit from this tree shares a superficial resemblance to those of an apple tree, yet
they are full of many more toxins.
The fruit itself is 'pleasantly sweet' when digested, but the taste quickly turns
to a burning, tearing sensation of the throat.
Symptoms worsen until victims are unable to swallow due to excruciating pain.
If you thought you could fight this tree with fire, think again – smoke from a burning
tree can cause severe eye injuries.
5.
Datura
This poisonous plant is more commonly known as Jimsonweed and is a member of the nightshade
family.
Its toxins can be accidentally consumed by eating honey produced by wasps during blooming
season.
Side effects include a high sense of delirium, hypothermia, violent behaviour and painful
photophobia (intolerance of light).
Due to their agitated and often confused mental state, victims of datura poison are usually
hospitalised.
4.
Angel's Trumpet
The Angel's Trumpet is another plant which is entirely poisonous, with the seeds and
leaves being particularly dangerous.
Effects of ingestion can include a paralysis of muscles, dry mouth, migraines, hallucinations
and eventually death.
The hallucinations have been described as 'terrifying rather than pleasurable',
going as far as to being compared to temporary insanity.
Unlike many plants on this list, the Angel's Trumpet is extinct in the wild and its trade
is often prohibited.

THAT THE MAYOR WAS TO REPLICATE
IN TULSA.
WE ARE KNOWN AS AMERICA'S
MOST GENEROUS CITY SO TULSANS
WANT TO HELP FOLKS, BUT THE
QUESTION IN A LOT OF PEOPLE'S
HEAD IS IF SOMEONE IS GIVING
SOMEONE SOME MONEY TO HIS
PANHANDLING, THE BEST THING FOR
THEM -- IS THIS THE BEST THING
FOR THEM?

IT'S A MORE -- IT'S MORE
THAN JUST KEEPING THEM FROM

THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO HELP
THEM LEAD PRODUCTIVE LIVES.
