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.

I HOPE.

BUT WE HELPED LOOK FOR HER, MY

DAUGHTERS HELPED LOOK FOR HER,

MY GRANDDAUGHTERS HELPED LOOK

OUR LIVES, BECAUSE YOU ARE

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE A

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

WHILE SHOPPING AT NIGHT.

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.
