BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Developing news out Los Angeles. Getting word right now the jury in that dog mauling trial have reached a verdict now. The jury has reached a verdict.

Marjorie Knoller, 46 years old, charged with the most serious crime of second-degree murder. She faces two other counts, including involuntary manslaughter and owning a mischievous animal. Her husband, Robert Noel, 60 years old, also faces the two latter charges, and certainly this has been a case that has taken on a lot of attention, going back to January of last year when 33-year-old Diane Whipple was mauled to death outside of her apartment in the Pacific Heights section of San Francisco. A popular lacrosse coach, we are told by her friends, Diane Whipple died that day on her doorstep. We will get a verdict from the jurors again, once again, four hours from now, 4:30 Eastern time, 1:30 on the West Coast in L.A..
